Protip: Don't wiggle your toes your toes in the sand while you're crabbing... They tend to mistake them for bait.

I had a blue crab literally the size of a dinner plate latch onto my ankle once because I almost stepped on him hiding in the sand. It turned into a Thunderdome situation - only one of us got out alive, and forty years later I still have an inch-long scar on my ankle.

mess with the crab and you get the stab

so,due to the passing of my mom and things resulting from that, we canceled the satellite package. As a result of that I have looked more at what my smart tv offers. The key part is something called samsung plus which is a series of channels either devoted to one topic or one show but it also has a few other channels one which is Shoutfactory TV and it seems that mondays are MSTIE mondays, meaning episodes of MST3K, one of the other channels is a channel devoted to Rifftrax.

Just got back from the CT Rennaissance Faire... Spent way too much money on miniatures and dice, lol. And food. And alcohol. And soap*.

Basically pays for my gas for the week...

My leg is sore and bruised (and heavily-medicated), and I'm still waiting on test results, but everything is looking good atm.

Spoiler: TMI about my medical history

If you're overwhelmed with curiosity, or if you're just bored, here's what's up with my leg.

As some of you might already know, I lost quite a bit of weight. I ended up losing 56 pounds in total...but as I got smaller, a lump that had been hidden in the fatty tissue of my thigh slowly appeared. And tumors are not cool.

My doc took a look at it, then referred me to a specialist. The specialist referred me to a surgeon. And that surgeon removed the tumor yesterday morning. Apparently it was a fibrolipoma "about the size of an apple," but they sent it off to the lab to have it tested and confirmed. Apparently there are lots of different kinds of lipomas, and some of them are worse than others. All I have to show for it now is a 5" incision and a prescription for painkillers. Anyway, that's what's up.

Test results back. "Negative for malignancy."
I shall drink many beers this weekend to celebrate.

Warning from personal experience - make sure you're sitting down for those many beers... About a week after one of my knee injuries years ago, I had "enhanced" my brain chemistry significantly enough to affect my spatial sense and walked right into the edge of a table knee first. It wasn't pleasant.

This is good advice. Thanks Jack!
