I received news today that my mother has a slipped ruptured disc of the I4 and I5. She'll be having surgery on the 25th of this month but while her full recovery is certain how long that recovery will be is still unknown. This may turn out to be a very trying time as my mother is the bread-winner in a house with a four digit mortgage payment. If internet gets cut off of the necessity list, I'll let you guys know.

Best of luck to your mom and remember that GOD gave us two kidneys for a reason and that reason was not getting our Internet cut off.

My mom has had three spine surgeries to fix her slipped disc. For the last one, she somehow found a really good specialist to take her public-school-teacher-insurance and fix up her spine for good. She's been going strong since. So, a story with a good ending to lend you hope.

This Korean comic was linked on frak this morning. Just scroll through the frames -- you'll get the gist of it.

Oh, if you're at work, you might want to turn your speakers down or use headphones.

Maybe I'm clicking it wrong? I get nothing but what looks like a profile page. If I click on the comic, I get what looks like a comment/ratings page. How do you click in Korean?

Don't click on anything. Just start scrolling down.

If you want to avoid being startled, it helps to turn your sound off.

Oh, and if nothing remarkable happens, it's probably because you have NoScript enabled.

Unless I missed something, we're still here. Just wearing new wrappers. Expanding our brand. Appealing to the kids, y'know.

The whole comic thing? I didn't get it. I cringed, but that was about it and my volume was on full blast. I think I'm broken.
