Phone rings. I answer. Man says "I am officer Leoblahblah with the Social Security Agency calling to inform you you used your SSN illegally and we are revoking it now. Is this Mills Hichag?" "WHY NO officer 54321, there's nobody here with that name and never has been or will be!"

Lymphadema must be painful. It's an imossibility in my situation. Do you have high levels of white cells of any kind? Histamine storms? I've had those during stem cell stimulant treatments. Also, baby rattlesnake bite (venom has medical uses in doses) caused one, as do vaccines.

Ha! I just go Jersey Girl as charm failed me as I saw kindness as a medical virtue. Give me a knowledgeable scientist who is honest over kindly ignorant any day, and not bragging, but I'm alive because of 1 great MD/Ph.D. and decades of deep research for family, me and friends.
LOL, my doctor hookup now is just very blunt. I am difficult. I know more than most and it's not from Google but years of research into my own and others conditions. Hatred of Mind/Body problems (man made, no thanks to Renee Descartes). I had several days of dark depression and..
Literally? How'd that happen? I married a Vietnam Combat Navy Corpsman who became one of the first P.A.'s (a dying art replaced by NPs who don't have the ethical grounding). As long as you are not blamed for their inability to say "I don't know." Rather hear truth straight up, me

And of course how many have ever said, Erin, you have a complex case, we are so sorry and we will do our best to help as we can? Never heard it. Heard "my other patient is riding his bike now" "Oh, my hot flashes." LOL re nice and easy. I told my new PCP I fight stupid. ;-)

My new Primary Care seems the best yet. He was a pain management doctor, started a start-up in integrated health, saw his name as he moved in across the way (big hospital area). Saw a 2018 Ted talk. He says: "SHAME on me. Shame on me" as to opioids in cartel country. It wow'd me.

It depends. XML not silly. XHTML not perfect but interesting, HTML5 super powers for almost anything but a document model's rich, meaninful, open, accessible and specific DTDs or Schema aka applied semantics beyond a handful of very few useful document elements. XML is alive.
Or followed any of their original five design principles. I still think they did important work, but it ain't markup and it ain't semantic. Back to that "one must win" crap. Cracking open the DOM has injured real semantic and declarative ideals and closed a lot of "open" in Web.

Ha! Space! Space! Space! Would be an awesome chant if it didn't bring Elon Musk to mind so readily! LOL!
This is very much part of my motivation to reshape how bias and ablism cripple everyone, even physicians who, through negligence, misdiagnosis, mistreatment and worse rarely if ever own their b.s. Iatrogenic disease is 80% of my issues. Profit not people is not health or care.

Did you get the full "but you can't because you are so energetic and driven?" I was toast by 22 and pushed my life forward no matter what others thought on my own. Not one family member helped or showed up for hospitalizations or to Arizona Oncology's repeat invitations to talk.

So the convention for spacer.gif in tables if people used the alt attribute at all would look like this:
<td><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="10" height="1" alt="*"></td>
Remember? Arguments were that no one needed to hear 40 instances of "spacer" ;-)

This may have been my friend's combo as he demo'd them to me around 90-91. It was what we did with GUI browsers later that broke my heart as we smashed the window of time for blind users and it's been a challenging road since. Definitely MS-DOS was the OS. Oh, the memories ;-)
Sad, since who knows what could have come about with XML apps (sez me who stayed in HTML WG 'til charter lost pre XHTML 2.0)! But, people have managed it. Pain, yes. But your command of your toolbox is unique and long-lasting. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. my friend!

We had to do some crazy things for x-browser compat alrighty! And then when iframes and ad industry collided, there were attributes and values that simply did not exist *anywhere* LOL!

Gunnar, you never fail to do the unusual ;-) XHTML 1.0 but served as HTML I'll bet? 😇
I’ve built a frameset 2 days ago: bittersmann.de/cssbattle/col…
XHTML 1.0 Frameset, of course. 🤣

SO awesome, Marco. Pre Web, a friend of mine who was blind from birth became a computer professor at Syracuse University in New York State. He used external hardware as voice output along with to me unknown software.
