Oh, I'm awake now. Seeing as how that blasted group assignment kept me up all night last night (meaning it is around hour 34 since I woke up), i am in a cranky mood. It will now take me quite a while to get to sleep.
For the record, I have seen those before, I am just so naive as to believe all things are on the level.
Someday, I will look back on this and laugh. Right now, I have the urge to launch into another rant (and for my pain, I will).
I don't blame you for all this, Ari’laftia. In fact, I am feeling slightly better now that my pulse is back down under 130. There really ought to be some way people with heart problems can know ahead of time (my heart condition is minor; it consists of a resting pulse normally in the 90-100 range and a small heart murmur somewhere). My point about this heart condition stuff is had someone with a worse heart condition seen that, it could have triggered an attack.
I know someone who has a micro-defibrillator implanted in his chest, if his heart goes over 180, he gets a warning tingle and then 5 seconds later, ZAP! He tells me this has happened 4-5 times in the shower already. I don't know what's wrong, all I know i he's on an organ list awaiting a transplant.
Well, I got into another tangent. This is not necessarily a pet peeve, just one of those things that, as a Canadian, I feel I need to identify as something potentially harmful/offensive to someone else.
Heck, my grandfather is in his mid-80s with a triple coronary bypass. If he saw that, it'd probably be the end of him.
