I’m glad I wasn’t drinking my soda when I read that. Well timed.
Didn’t Saturday Night Live do it first? Or am I mixing up the ranting old men?
(And we liked it.)
:eek:
A WHAT???
:eek::eek::eek:
(kaylasdad99 re-reads sentence) OHHHhhh, fur-covered. Like from shedding, right?
whew!
Oh God, Oh God! Oh God! Why haven’t my eardrums burst yet? I’ve been on hold now for-- lemme check the phone-- 7:59 minutes and the hold music is the chorus of Yellow Rose of Texas played over and over and over and over and over and over and over-- on a midi.
And over and over and over. . .
Please post again,** Biggirl**, to assure us you survived. That sounds horrible.
And that you didn’t develop mutant powers, reach through the phone and choke whomever set that…
That’s pretty nutritionally balanced, on the whole: protein, calcium, some vitamin C. Probably not all that filling, but healthier than what half my office eats for lunch most days. (I’m lookin’ at you, Grandboss who never brings a lunch and then is so ravenous by mid-afternoon that she goes to Chick-Fil-A or eats a whole bag of chips.)
*waves hands over Nawth Chucka
I absolve you.
I hate it when people smoke, and I’m not so fond of gum, and I especially hate it when I see people smoking and chewing gum at the same time. I don’t know why. I just think it looks incredibly stupid. Is it mean to secretly hope that they’ll make a mistake, and either inhale their gum or chomp down on their cigarette? :rolleyes:
(Please note that although I hate smoking and gum, I don’t hate smokers who try to quit and who use nicotine gum. Hey, they’re trying. 
)
Sweet sherry sipping shit, they made me wait over 10 minutes listening to that loop-- and then someone picked up the phone and hung it up without saying a word. I wish diarrhea on every single one of that doctor’s office employee’s pets!
Well, at least there’s an upside - this post made me laugh hysterically.
As for the onion thing, here is an exchange between a Facebook friend who posted this BS, and her friend who responded:
This thread was an opportune reminder to uncheck “show in News Feed” for this person.
Why don’t you put the call on speaker mode and turn down the volume and just go about other business until you get a response.
Girly TMI stuff. You’ve been warned.
So I went to see the gynecologist for my yearly checkup last week and told her that hey, while I’m here, I think I have a really, really minor UTI. Kind of tiny burning at the end of urination, etc. - nothing like the ones I got when I was in college, but still.
I gave a urine sample; she also swabs the vagina, then steps out for a bit. Comes back and says, ‘no UTI, but you have a little bit of benign bacterial overgrowth in the vagina, that’s probably bothering your urethra now and then. Take this antibiotic for 2 days - and do not drink alcohol during that time!’
I asked if I had to avoid alcohol for any time after that, and she said no, just during.
Yeah. I look it up in my Epocrates app - turns out you have to avoid alcohol for the 2 days of taking it, and 3 full days after. It has effects similar to taking Antabuse if you don’t. :eek:
So I had plans to go to an awesome Chicago bar/restaurant on this past Saturday, and like any responsible patient, I opt out of drinking alcohol.
OK, so you don’t believe me; I wouldn’t, either. I have my goddamned priorities straight, and they’re around food and booze, thank you. I tell her I’m waiting to take the prescription until after Saturday, and she laughs and sends me on my way. So I took it Sunday and Monday, and today I was noting that I’m still feeling slightly… funny regarding urination.
I got a call from her about an hour ago. She said, “You have a UTI.” I said yeah, I figured as much. Not only that, but it’s resistant to 4 different antibiotics (antibiotic classes, perhaps?) that are normally used for that indication. So whee, I get a whole new antibiotic, and this one for 7 days. Hopefully that won’t also mess up the “natural balance” of flora and fauna down there as well. :smack:
I was wearing a headset. And I was going about other business. I was posting on The Dope.
I so cracked up.
I’m home now. I thought that Spike would have to be locked up in the kitty room so he wouldn’t get lost and bang his head on doors, but I was wrong. Spike is brain dead, he doesn’t know that he’s in a new place. As long as the doors are open, he won’t hurt himself. I do worry about him falling off the stairs, though. They have risers and no lifters.
Yogert and lots of cranberry juice could help, and it certainly won’t hurt. You have my sympathy, bladder infections just totally suck.
So…what time is it? I have no clue. I forced my phone and laptop to stay on AZ time because we don’t need no stinking day light saving time, but now I need to fix them. Bill’s clocks are mostly decorative, and he sets the alarm clock ahead.
Not to mention that I’ve changed time zones. So…I’m spending my first night in my new home sitting up…wired and tired and posting here instead of cuddled up with Bill and our cats. Who are all asleep and ticking me off because I am not!
Yesterday I was listening to Sly and the Family Stone
there is a yellow one who won’t accept the black one who won’t accept the re :::SOME WORD::: the whi :::SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE:::
WTF?
It reminds me of back in the old days when all we had was AM Top 40 Pop stations and the DJs would patter until the lyrics started and then cut the songs off before they were done.
I heard the former was so people couldn’t record songs off the radio and the latter so they could fit more songs in. I don’t know or care why but I’m going to be letting Serius know that I am not renewing my contract and why.
I have no idea what your bolded text means. The song was interrupted? By what / who?
By the DJ, who said something sahirnee didn’t understand and then loudly anounced SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE! Yeah, yeah, can we go back to hearing the song please?
Arrgh, this stupid guy in my street wants to close off the short cut at the end (we live in a dead end street) because apparently drunks use it. Who probably live in the street. Who would just get in from the other side. And those kids who kids their motorized bikes up and down the street? They’re your next door neighbours. Closing it off won’t make them suddenly stop riding around all day. This guy has no regard for the rest of us who live here who actually use the short cut on a daily basis.:smack: So now I have to start my own petition to make sure it doesn’t get closed off when I really don’t have the time or desire to campaign and get into some street-fued.
Cranberry pills would be better than juice. Most cranberry juices have sugar in them that will make the UTI worse.
Does he have a computer hooked to the internet? That should tell you the correct time.
Sorry, the DJ.
