I complain and freak out of a tiny sized lump and yet my husband struggles just to breathe. I am humbled by your reminder, Dr. Bob.
We're still waiting on good reports and answers for Tony and you both Dr. Bob and Abiyah has been heavy on my heart since a thread was started on organ donation.

Well, I got my results from my nuclear tagged red blood cell test yesterday and it showed no source of blood loss. Good in one respect, but bad in another. It means more tests. YUK! I have to deal with Vivian's insurance and medicare to get the camera pill endoscopy approved. It's getting to be frustrating trying to recover and fight with the insurance company and Gov't on what they will and will not pay. We praise the Lord that this sensitive test came back clear. We ask for continued prayers in our contacts with the insurance companies, etc., while we try to get the other tests approved.
MD called today and left a message for me to be careful not to be exposed to others and potential infections, etc. Of course, I dealt face-to-face with 1150 people yesterday as an election judge. 
Go to see him on Friday and try to figure out a course of action that can begin to rebuild health instead of watching the downward spiral.
We shall see. We shall see.

You fellas put me to shame. I freak out over a small lump which is probably nothing and every day the 3 of you face such awful pain and suffering.
I should be jumping up and down praising God for my good health.

Two judges check the enrollment/registration forms and verify identification and address. They give a permit to receive a ballot.
Two judges deal with any who are NOT enrolled or moved, changed address, new voters. Very intense, then they give a permit to receive a ballot.
One judge (me) then gets the permit and discerns what ballot they get. Our precinct has some in city/out of city, in different house districts, etc. And explains how the ballot works, etc, especially to first-time voters.
Head judge steers the voter to an open booth (we have 8) and then, after the person has voted, shows them where to place the ballot in a machine that reads/tabulates results.
BTW, we go at 6 am and set up all the booths, tables, get all the forms and ballots ready, etc, so that voting can begin at 7. Our last voter didn't finish until 7:30 pm. Gal brought her cel phone and talked to her boyfriend about how to vote on each of 4 l-o-n-g constitutional amendments.
We sign everything, a deputy sheriff comes by and picks up the computer disk to take to the court house, and then we put everything away. $100 for one of the hardest 14 hour days, but feels good doing out duty.

Yup, pretty much the same......The pay is not too bad but depending on the issues it can be very boring or very intense, and it is ALWAYS a long long day. I have another permanent job now so I am not as able to participate.
If we are not using computer or optical equipment the ballot counting is the worst. I have always worked in accounting/bookkeeping so I usually have a few ideas to make it a little easier and more organized. But the folks in charge are usually a bit older and more "experienced" so not always open to suggestions from a young "whippersnapper".

Dr. Bob, we had signs outside our polling area telling people to turn off their cells phones before entering. I'm surprised that girl could call for advice.

I rememeber those days in Ed White Middle School. Enjoyed that job.
Enjoyed it at primary time. Lots of time to visit and read the paper, etc. THIS time was hectic beyond words.
And our pastor's wife is on our team, but she is in England on the mission trip this week, so we were a person short.
We are checking into law about cell phones. Don't think they are legal to use in the booth, but man they are everywhere . . .

I had jury duty and walked into the federal building. 2 guards
patted me down and took my personals in to inventory. I then
walked through a metal detector. They checked my I.D. I had to
be escorted by an armed baliff to the front desk to be signed in.
The receptionist with through a thorough checklist. She noticed
I had a cell phone. She said, "You can't take that in there."
I asked if she could hold it and she said NO. She blah-blahed
something to me and basically said I would have to take it out
of the building.
So, I did. Almost 2 blocks away and then 2 blocks back. Of course
I had to go through all the rigamaro with the guards and finally
ended up at the receptionist desk. I told her that they needed
a sign posted that cell phones, beepers, PDA's and such were
not allowed. She pointed to a sign behind her. I said that's
great, but it needs to be on the front door before you have
to go through the shakedown. She smiled and said "Up the
stairs and to the right."

I got called for Jury Duty and asked to be excused because we MUST have my income just to exist. They had me write a nice note and excused me. Next week... they call JIM! He'd just started a new job and had to be away for training. His boss wrote a note and Jim asked to be put on a week later... but they just excused him too. We've never asked to be excused before....
I don't have a cell phone and Jim doesn't either. We're too poor for such things now! YIKES! Our internet is $4.95 through Bellsouth for all the computers. We just use one for email.
