Why does it state that her gender is "male" then? I am a trifle confused.

Well, there is a goof with wrongplanet, as even my actual age does not show up properly, so who knows.

There is a possibility, but you'll have to take up that issue with CockneyRebel directly.

most people's puters seem to run better than mine, especially on some websites that cause mine to crash.

I've no qualms at all about Cockney Rebel's status, and I don't know why he would feel the need to defend himself against the endless tripe that goes on around here. Gender misplacement isn't unusual, but he has determined what he is for as long as I've been here.
Of course, no one likes to be humiliated, and whilst the fairer sex on here, would prefer to live down their status, i think it is bemusing, when they have all the family support they need right here, so why on earth feel the need to change their custom rank?

if someone has a retroperitoneal bleed while on coumadin for a fib, they will be reevaluated for anticoagulation in 4-6 wks.

I learned a bit about solar panels cause I am fleeing society completely, I am going off the grid and probably even a bit under the grid. I want nothing to do with this place or myself. I will focus everything on survival and God and nothing else.

once you will go to the doctor, you will be sucked into more and more medical intervention, it seems to me.

I learned that taking care of yourself, (exercise, eating well, ect.), goes hand in hand with sensory overload.

After scoring 106/160 on a vocabulary test, I decided to learn the meanings of some of those I answered incorrectly.

I now know that "tumid" means to be swollen; "torpid" means to be inert and that "quixotic" is where something is unrealistic and impractical. Perhaps I should have known their definitions already. :?
