At Kenmore Mercy with Matthew

No, I did not hit him. He actually ran into a tree branch. Literally.

This has to be the worst hospital I have ever been at.

I feelbsi guilty having matthew leave high street because I thought the wait would be too long and he should get some more immediate care as his eye was involved. I would rather die then be brought here. You think I would have learned the time they misstitched his finger and had to restitch it. I actually prefer high street because at least they have security. Kenmore Mercy doesn't seem to have any as was evidenced by the crazy behavior by the kid in the waiting room trying to scam pills. Never again.

I work at Catholic Health and came across your blog entry.

I'm sorry that you were disappointed in the care that Matthew received at Kenmore Mercy Hospital. To file a complaint, could you please have Matthew contact our patient representative, Kathleen? She can be reached by email (http://www.chsbuffalo.org/AboutUs/Contact) or by phone (447-6360). Kathleen will look into the events that occurred and can address your concerns.

metalpeter writes at 04:26:51 08/24/11 - Comment #64576: Not that I know anything but maybe they wanted to do a CAT Scan so that if some thing like a headache happens they know that it isn't a brain issue and it is an eye issue... Glad you are ok that looks really bad ......

matthew writes at 02:32:40 08/24/11 - Comment #64573: Thanks guys, I'm okay. No damage to the eye. Just a superficial wound. I had 6 stitches put in. It looks way worse than it feels. My eye is completely swollen shut. I feel a little dizzy from looking out from just one eye, and I have a slight headache.

tinypliny writes at 07:30:14 08/24/11 - Comment #64562: Was there damage to the globe? Did any tear go through and through?

tinypliny writes at 07:18:22 08/24/11 - Comment #64560: !!! I am so sorry!

YesThatCasey writes at 07:11:27 08/24/11 - Comment #64559: Oi!

paul writes at 01:04:25 08/24/11 - Comment #64556: When we got here there were no people and we were up next.

Matthew is to timid that after waiting one hour at this shithole of a hospital, I went up to the nurses desk and explained his eye was bleeding. They haven't even given us ice to reduce the swelling. That seems like pretty common sense first aid.

I asked her if we should take him to another hospital. She said do what you think. I said no, what do you think. You are a nurse, can he at least get some ice. A few minutes later they called him in. I followed and they gave me that who are you to the patient bullshit. I should have just said I was his father. You would think being the person who is paying for it all and who is on the same insurance card is good enough but not for Kenmore Mercy.

If I am just sticking with High Street from now on. It was just so busy tonight. You would think we would have learned from his last experience here when they misstitched Matthews hand and had to resew it.

paul writes at 12:54:01 08/24/11 - Comment #64555: Two and a half fucking hours later the stupid idiots want to give him a catscan now that they know he has insurance and despite there being any real impact. He is refusing. I think a cleanup plus ice two hours ago would have been a better approach. I hope this place goess out of business.

Keke Valasquez-Lord...

...is my favorite performer.

We went to a fundraiser for Jimmy from Cathode at Marcellas tonight. It was put on by Keke who did a fantastic job. It was a Chinese auction but I think everyone was trying to be PC because they kept referring to it as an Asian auction.

The old marcellas is now the new marcellas. It felt like stepping back in time.

I ate lots of food. The Swedish meatballs were better than the ones at IKEA.

Here is (e:mike) and I and the time tunnel.

We bought lots of tickets but won nothing. Strangely, the same three people won just about everything.

They have dividers now.

I can't believe people bid on cans of speghetti sauce and speghetti. I didn't even know that sauce came in cans. I can only imagine the how gross the metallic taste is.

A combo spot/starbuck basket? I wonder what the companies would have to say about that.

Atop the Mayflower

The other day (e:tinypliny) took us up on the mayflower's roof. The view was great. I noticed The JCC has a huge solar panel farm. I makes me want one on the back of our roof and garage.

Swimming at Windmill Point Rock Quarry

Yesterday (e:terry), (e:matthew) and I went swimming at the quarry again. This time we spent a lot of time in the middle with goggles. There us some crazy stuff down three including a pirate ship with mast and skeletons, a bathtub and a large recreational boat. It was fun trying to swim down far enough to touch it. Next weekend I am bringing nose plugs.

Chicken Hips at ETS

After discussing chicken wings last night (e:Mike) and I headed over to ETS. We ordered mild wings and 20 minutes later hot ones came out. I hate spicy food but considering how long it takes we decided to eat them anyways. There was one really strange shaped super large one in the middle.

She loves sitting on me outside. Except today she was on my shoulder while I was grilling and she decided that was the time to practice flying.

Ant Tragedy

Sorry guys but I was so tired of you nesting by my kitchen and sitting around my sink. It was time to deal with it before we had to involve spray.

I know (e:tinypliny) pretends that I should live and let live. But I know its because she thinks I didn't see that bottle of borax in your shoe closet.

Its official, I am totally turning into my father.

metalpeter writes at 06:32:50 08/22/11 - Comment #64503: I have heard of Chocolate covered ants but never had them how does one do that? that would make a great blog..... First of all how do you catch them? and do you cook them alive in hot melted chocolate or do you cook them 1st?

libertad writes at 05:11:10 08/21/11 - Comment #64493: I wanted to instead I just watched, I guess that means I am going to insect hell.

tinypliny writes at 10:17:42 08/21/11 - Comment #64484: You wanted to save the fruit flies drowning in apple cider vinegar?? You are going to insect heaven.

libertad writes at 09:20:05 08/20/11 - Comment #64481: I feel guilty killing insects. When I saved the tick I found on me I felt so bad watching it slowly die in plastic container on my fridge.

My house was so disgusting the last two days that I had fruit flies all over. So after cleaning everything I put two small saucers with apple cider vinegar out and covered them in saran wrap and then punched holes in the plastic. This works so well at capturing fruit flies. I also felt bad cause I watched as they were drowning and I sort of wanted to save them.

paul writes at 06:19:49 08/20/11 - Comment #64477: That would make me insane.

tinypliny writes at 05:11:53 08/20/11 - Comment #64476: And btw, I don't think I support the live and let live policy. I just don't like pouring stuff over ants because I think the rest of them will attack me in my sleep. In my case. there is a HUGE anthill right outside the building downstairs and they are all red ants. When they bite, they leave their heads in my skin and they usually don't bite unless I harass them and try to kill. I think a massive army live between the floorboards in my flat and I obsessively clean the floor because of them.

tinypliny writes at 04:13:02 08/20/11 - Comment #64475: OHHHHH! I see.

LOL

Schleswig-Holstein doesn't "like" facebook

I find this interesting. The state in germany where I went to college has banned the facebook like button from being used on any website served within its borders due to data privacy issues,

The German State of Schleswig-Holstein has ordered all state sites to remove Facebook's "like" button. Sites that fail to comply could face fines of up to 50,000 euros, or about $72,000.

Schleswig-Holstein's data protection commissioner, Thilo Weicher, ordered the shutdown after an analysis by his office showed that Facebook builds profiles of users and non-users alike with the "like" button's data. Because such data collection violates Germany's data protection laws, Weicher has given websites operated in Schleswig-Holstein until September 30th to remove all "like" buttons.

metalpeter writes at 05:14:32 08/22/11 - Comment #64500: I didn't read the entire article but the thing his how odd the Like button is..... I forget how you share on here with facebook since I've never done it.... But any website can set up a like button on any part of its page and anyone who clicks on it can share that info on facebook.... It might not last long but lets say I'm wearing only chaps on some web page and next to the picture there is a like someone could hit the like button and write something like not to big not to small the perfect sized cock and balls then there I am naked on facebook..... Sounds kinda fun in a way untill someone sees me and tags me and that is the first picture on my wall.... Then everyone comes up with a thought on how I look..... Now I don't know the german Laws but I could see how this with data could be bad..... But also any thing about Nazi is illegal there I wonder if that extends to movies like we like to make movies about the Nazi cause lets face it they make great bad guys and there out fits are pretty cool.... Think not then why are storm troopers in stars wars move just like them... The Point is are movies with Nazis in them illegal and if you liked that or like the movement could you get locked up.....

tinypliny writes at 12:39:11 08/20/11 - Comment #64460: So, you are supporting this ban?

tinypliny writes at 12:27:39 08/20/11 - Comment #64459: I am hoping that won't happen in our lifetimes. We need to have forgotten the strong science behind all of our attitudes for that to ever happen or the deaths of many intellects collectively.

Gay persecution would be the least of anyone's problems if that happens.

paul writes at 11:45:15 08/20/11 - Comment #64458: At the same time you need to consider that 60-70 years ago data collection was used there to haul tens of millions of people of to their deaths :::link:::

Its not hard to imagine this data could be used at some future point by somebody else with sinister intentions. I think that is the problem with all of this data collection in general. A perfect example is gay stuff. Ya, it might be cool to like all the gay stuff you want in our current climate. Then all of a sudden, the polictical climate changes, gays are persecuted. The data does not go away and there is no real way of assuring that persecuting countries don't get access either through spying, hacking or direct data requests from the corporations.

tinypliny writes at 11:01:11 08/20/11 - Comment #64457: Which makes you think about what these data protection laws were set up for originally... Do you think they are perhaps outdated and have not kept up with the meaning of data protection now?

Children of the corn

Its only a matter of time before they get here.

KANSAS CITY, Mo (Reuters) - The weekend shooting of three teenagers at a large late-night "flash mob" gathering prompted local authorities to pass an ordinance on Thursday that sets curfews as early as 9 p.m. for people under age 18.

At the urging of Mayor Sly James, the Kansas City Council passed the ordinance 13-0, allowing police to issue citations to parents whose children violate the curfew. Parents can be fined up to $500 per violation.

Three youths aged 13 to 16 were injured by apparently random gunshots at about 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night in an upscale shopping and restaurant district called Country Club Plaza.
