Barry,
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!!
Seen on the hypochondriac's tombstone: "I told you I was sick!!". <G>
BM> Ummm: laughter's the best medicine - that's why they keep you in
BM> stitches!
Until they show you the bill. :P
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.
It's a joy when you get your first license, but devastating when you
have to quit driving, as "your independence is now destroyed". But, if
you're a danger to others driving, etc., you have no business driving.
If nothing else, you don't have to worry about maintenence, insurance, gasoline,
or other car related bills.
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.
Most of them cost too much to worry about it.
BM> Look how nicely the sink fits, the no-gap corners... Oh,
BM> counterfeiters, not counter fitters.
I had a feeling you'd do that. :P
DS> Yeah, but $3 or likely much more for one Viagra pill??
BM> That price is rather stiff!
Talk about giving your wallet a hard time. :P
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!
RAM DISK is NOT an installation procedure.
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.
I don't know what the pH was the last time I was doing the prep work,
but the way my throat and esophagus was burning, it had to be high.
BM> Just bring our laptop into the bathroom with you; no Skype or Zooom,
BM> please!!
And, mute the microphone. :P
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.
There was a restaurant chain that was started in Little Rock called TCBY.
It originally stood for either "This Can't Be Yogurt" or "The Country's
Best Yogurt"...and I really enjoyed what they had. I think there's only 1
location left...sort of like the Farrell's restaurant. I think that location
is in California. They had a deal called "the trough", with a full length banana
split, that would feed at least a dozen folks.
BM> Over the teeth and past the gums; look out stomach: here it comes!
That's it!! Or as Archie Bunker noted, "Bless the meat. Damn the skin.
Open your kisser, and cram it in". :P
BM> Yeah: I'm knocked out for the procedure. As you implied, the day
BM> before pretty much nothing is going to get done.
On the contrary, quite a bit will get done...although you'll have a
crappy outlook for the day. :P
BM> You sure it was going through the kidneys and there wasn't a direct
BM> passage?!
I had to wonder.
DS> ... Wisconsin: Come smell our dairy air.
BM> Oddly appropriate!
I've had some folks say "you haven't lived if you haven't walked
through a cow pasture barefoot". No thanks, I don't want e-coli
entering my body through my feet. It's bad enough it's in my gut
already.
