Hi Daryl!
DS> Again, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
BM> Agree, though "crying wolf" can get expensive. Helps to be aware of
BM> one's body: this pain is probably normal for a gas bubble, this one is
BM> probably a kidney stone; whoa! this one isn't right!!
DS> Seen on the hypochondriac's tombstone: "I told you I was
DS> sick!!". <G>
Dare I do the husband's response? "You just had to get the last word!"
BM> Ummm: laughter's the best medicine - that's why they keep you in
BM> stitches!
DS> Until they show you the bill. :P
That causes another medical episode!
DS> Folks around here think they can stop just as fast on a wet,
DS> snowy, or icy pavement, as they can on dry. They likely got their
DS> drivers license or CDL out of a Cracker Jack Box.
BM> I'm thinking more lack of experience and/or remembering.
DS> It's a joy when you get your first license, but devastating
DS> when you have to quit driving, as "your independence is now
DS> destroyed". But, if you're a danger to others driving, etc., you
DS> have no business driving. If nothing else, you don't have to
DS> worry about maintenence, insurance, gasoline, or other car
DS> related bills.
Besides driving also have to think of just plain walking: some people
have a difficult time for a variety of reasons and that doesn't help.
Could get into public transportation which generally is rather horrible
in most parts of the country.
DS> I have a good prescription drug plan, plus Part A and B
DS> Medicare, but NOT Medicaid.
BM> Still might want to consider the supplement option. If Medicare pays
BM> it pays.
DS> Most of them cost too much to worry about it.
Mine's about 2/3rds of what the Medicare deduction from Social Security
is.
BM> Look how nicely the sink fits, the no-gap corners... Oh,
BM> counterfeiters, not counter fitters.
DS> I had a feeling you'd do that. :P
I was trying to counter that.
DS> Yeah, but $3 or likely much more for one Viagra pill??
BM> That price is rather stiff!
DS> Talk about giving your wallet a hard time. :P
Wallet?? Kinky!
DS> I have a door on the BBS...Toilet Stall Graffitti Wall. It's
DS> 200 flushes in ANSI...with "ANSI Rooter, that's the name...just
DS> flush your graphics down the drain". <G>
BM> Put the door in RAM: reboot, they've been flushed!
DS> RAM DISK is NOT an installation procedure.
So if it doens't fit don't ram it in?
BM> ("I'm Chaquita Banana and I'm here to say, sit on the toilet and bombs
BM> away!").
DS> ROFLMBO!! And, your butt probably felt like it was on fire.
BM> Actually no, and I have had the raw and sensitive episodes. Maybe drinking
BM> more water ahead of time helped, or just happened to eat less reactive
BM> foods, though the stomach's pH is probabyl about the same regardless and
BM> that should be controlling the acidity of the chyme and
BM> on I'd guess.
DS> I don't know what the pH was the last time I was doing the prep
DS> work, but the way my throat and esophagus was burning, it had to
DS> be high.
So alkaline??!
BM> I went old-school and had a half-pint of plain yogurt when I came home
BM> to restart the healthy bacteria, etc., in my gut. Don't recall what we had
BM> for dinner. tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich comes to mind
BM> but not sure.
DS> There was a restaurant chain that was started in Little Rock
DS> called TCBY. It originally stood for either "This Can't Be
DS> Yogurt" or "The Country's Best Yogurt"...and I really enjoyed
DS> what they had. I think there's only 1 location left...sort of
DS> like the Farrell's restaurant. I think that location is in
DS> California. They had a deal called "the trough", with a full
DS> length banana split, that would feed at least a dozen folks.
I vaguely remember "TCBY"! Maybe had it once - I'm just not a Mall
Eater: don't do shopping and snacking, or at least on my own. If
shopping with someone and they want a snack I'll probably get a coffee
or a small nibble, but that's rare.
BM> Over the teeth and past the gums; look out stomach: here it comes!
DS> That's it!! Or as Archie Bunker noted, "Bless the meat. Damn
DS> the skin. Open your kisser, and cram it in". :P
Might have to use that one at Thanksgiving!
BM> Yeah: I'm knocked out for the procedure. As you implied, the day
BM> before pretty much nothing is going to get done.
DS> On the contrary, quite a bit will get done...although you'll
DS> have a crappy outlook for the day. :P
"So wha'cha been doing all day?" "Oh, just a lot of running around!"
DS> ... Wisconsin: Come smell our dairy air.
BM> Oddly appropriate!
DS> I've had some folks say "you haven't lived if you haven't
DS> walked through a cow pasture barefoot". No thanks, I don't want
DS> e-coli entering my body through my feet. It's bad enough it's in
DS> my gut already.
Most intestinal E. Coli is of the good variety, but I do agree squishing
cow poop between my toes does not make my Fun Things To Do List.
