Subj : Re: Another Day In The ER To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Nov 03 2020 06:47:00 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!!". 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". 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 BM> drinking more water ahead of time helped, or just happened to eat less BM> reactive foods, though the stomach's pH is probabyl about the same BM> regardless and 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 BM> had 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 ....
