It's been almost 2 weeks???

Sometimes, time really does fly by. These past couple of weeks have been pretty busy. The main thing that has happened is that my daughter had to have her appendix removed. She is doing much better 1 week after the surgery, and is well enough to go to the Cheetah Girl Concert... This past week has been filled with stress, frustration, pain, etc. This brings up the question of the appendix. WTF is it really for? If you can live your live just the same with our without it in your body, why even have it? Another thing, if it becomes inflamed and even possibly burst, it would lead even more complications and possibly even death. Now why in the heck would we have an organ in our body that isn't really needed, but if things go wrong can cause us to die? Unbelievable. I know I could go on and do research about the darned thing, but I'm too lazy.
