Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I doubt that you will find any decent paragraph structure in this post. I’m just going to type at random. There may be some TMI in here as well. I’m feeling better, and I’m back at work. They’ve now blocked the almighty SDMB, so I’m going through a proxy. Our SA’s would not be happy. Normally I’d say I could just get my fix at home, but I don’t have net access there. While I was away, they shut off my wireless account due to a contract dispute between my apartment complex and the provider. I’ve now ordered DSL, but it won’t be on until Monday. They’ve been jerking me around for 2 weeks. Because of that, I’d normally go to someone else, but DSL’s my only high speed option left. No cable modem availability in my area for some reason. I should be on more regularly next week. I’m only working half days this week, so there’s not a lot of screwing off time. I’m also really friggin tired. Not because of work, but because of the damn playoffs. Stayed up until fucking midnight last night to watch Edmonton beat us in OT. We’ve lost Matvichuk and Nieuwendyk. Last night Marchant was all over Modano like a blanket and Hogue was almost decapitated a couple times. Not a good way to end a long day. So, I’m running on about 5 hours of sleep. 12 in the last 3 days. I’ll be lucky to make it through the week. My farts make noise again. After the surgery, I had plenty of gas. They all stunk impressively, and without the noise they did have a kind of guerilla warfare stealth thing going on. And it’s not like I could control it. People’s homes, the mall, etc. I specifically avoided restaraunts because my immobility at a table would have allowed the culprit to be identified. I was flatulent, not stupid. Anyway, a couple of nights ago, I was watching TV and just let one rip. I was so happy. I consider it my final stage of recovery. I haven’t let my doctors know yet, but I’ll be sure to next time I see them. Maybe they’ll throw a party for me or something. I’m sure they’ll be excited.

I guess that’s it. Not much is going on right now, considering the fart thing is the most exciting thing to happen to me in the last couple of weeks. We need a DFW Dopefest so I can have something to write about. Zyada, Grace, Troy, anybody? I should probably start another thread, but it’ll be hard enough keeping up with this one. I have to turn the proxy on and off so it looks like I’m doing something legitimate. And Grace, my Mom has your books. I’ll get them to you whenever I can. She still has a couple more to go.

Aglarond - glad to see you getting better and back at work, and sorry to hear about your internet troubles. (And here I thought it was so cool that your boss knew about us and didn’t seem to care) We’re getting together for mexican at El Arroyo, May 5th for rjk’s and my birthday. I’ll try to bump the thread today. If mexican isn’t an option, we’ll figure out somewhere else to go if it lets you eat with us.

I can eat Mexican. So far, I haven’t found anything I can’t eat. Last night I had pizza. The night before I had 2 sirloins, a ribeye, some mash potatoes, and green beens(yes. All in one meal). Yep. My appetite’s back. I’ll look for the thread today. Don’t see any reason why I can’t make it.

It’s good to see that you’re still setting goals for yourself. :smiley:

Glad to hear that you’re doing better. But no mention of the Stars OT victory over the Oilers last night? I’m surprised. I guess that you’re still having to work back into things.

I’m not going to promise that I’ll make it on Cinco de Mayo, I’ve not had good luck making it to Dopefests thus far, but I hope to make it out. If I do, I’ll buy you a beer in honor of your recovery (can you drink beer again?). I would buy you dinner, but judging from your last post, that would break me.

Hey, Ag. Good to have you back … uh … posting, back at work, eating, feeling better and, I guess, the farting is a good thing, too.

I assume you didn’t get the invitation I sent out a few weeks ago about the Cinco de Mayo birthday get together. Is your email address correct in your profile?

Take care of yourself,
Jim

it is good to hear you are feeling better and gaining strength.

I was saving the gloating until we knocked you out of the playoffs again. :smiley: In all fairness, though, I was worried that we might not make it out of the series alive. Ya’ll have some big forwards. Laraque is one man I would not want to be hit by. Thornton was ours last year. Since losing him to San Jose, we don’t have any really big guys in front of the blue line.

Jim. I didn’t get the invite. I have no access at home. I’ll have my new address in my profile either later tonight or tomorrow. I’m not sure what it is as of yet.

And thanks RC. Stealth mode had it’s advantages, but I’m still not to old to laugh out loud when I let a really good one rip. Even when nobody else is around.
