The corollary is that if you are updating people about a previous issue that was posted here, give some quick summary. "Dad's doing much worse" makes people want to offer support, but don't make them scroll through two months of your posts to see what's up with Dad.
Kudos to the Cosonaut who has kept all her posts in a single thread.
It's great when we can be supportive of each other.

If there's a 12 foot storm surge, her belongings aren't any safer because she stayed with them, though.

Yeah, because it would have to turn around and drive directly down the length of the state of Florida, through a bunch of wildlife refuges, while maintaining hurricane force winds to get there.
There's a big shortage of helium, too. That's going to be expensive to replace.
I didn't know you could deactivate the magnet. In the old days, you would have needed a non-ferrous winch to pull it out.
Accompanied by stewed groundhog? That's the only way I'd be able to grow celery.

They left off the cool fact about "saccades" vs "tracking."
If you try to move your viewpoint across your field of vision, it will take multiple short jumps called "saccades." It's impossible to move your eyes smoothly from one side to another -- unless you are watching a moving object. Then you can "track" it, and your eyes will follow it smoothly.
You can tell when someone is tripping, because the visual hallucinations allow them to track when there are no moving objects to see.
Oh, then we REALLY need to put constitutional law scholar Barack Obama on the court. Trump's head would explode if he couldn't criticize him.

My dad had one of those in his pancreas that was the size of a 16-inch softball and had spread to the liver when they found it. He lived 14 years with it, and that was 30 years ago. I hope your friend sees the cure discovered.
I would guess it's a combination of social ineptitude and attempt at flirting. Like, "I'd think you were pretty hot except for that beard." Except not quite.
