Take the quiz: “What Celtic Diety are you?”

Cernunnos

The Horned God; God of Nature; God of the Underworld and the Astral Plane; Great Father.The Druids knew him as Hu Gadarn, The Horned God of fertility. He was portrayed sitting in a lotus position with horns or antlers on his head, long curling hair, a beard, naked, and sometimes holding a spear and shield.

Okay, so yesterday Ted brought the bloody Audi over to the other import auto shop in town, and the guy just called me back. The good news is that the alternator and battery are both holding a charge. He disconnected the battery from the alternator overnight, and the battery was dead this morning, so there’s a short somewhere in the inner workings of the car. He said it would take him far too long to figure it out, and that he was recommending us to an auto electric shop who would be able to find the short much faster than he could. And that he wasn’t charging us for the exploratory work he’d done to diagnose the problem.

This, overall, is quite the improvement over the other fucktards. -.-

In other news, a public service message on behalf of my friend Melissa. One of the three rheumatologists in the state was killed recently, the second is going to be closing her practice in December, and the third isn’t taking any more patients, which leaves a lot of people in the lurch. As Melissa says, “A lot of us are on medications that have to be monitored pretty closely to avoid doing us more damage than our diseases already are.”

So on her behalf (and that of plenty of other people): if any of you know a rheumatologist who is thinking of opening a practice or who needs work, or if you’re a med student trying to decide on a focus, well, there’s a scary shortfall of rheumatologists up here, and some people who very much need their help.
