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.

Daryl
