> [@Misnomer](#): > > I also ordered my next set on Tuesday night: [Wicket the Ewok](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/wicket-the-ewok-75430), which will be released on 08/01. I’m _fairly_ certain I’ll be able to squeeze him in next to C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. Wicket’s 1010 pieces! When the movie came out, they were selling plush Ewoks. One evening I discovered this, and mentioned this to my parents, as this was not long before Christmas. After Christmas, I found out my mom had to leave the room, because she had already bought me one and was tickled pink that she got it before I had even asked for it. > [@missred](#): > > **dicey** , if it’s an option, go for laparoscopic surgery. Thanks. That’s what the doctor is planning. No robot, just her. I’ve been reading up, and it seems many U.S. women have the surgery and go back home. After the procedure I’ll get two nights at the hospital and then two weeks off work. I guess I have to buy a nightgown or something… > [@swampbear](#): > > They also have stuff like fresh okra already cut up and bagged and fresh creamed corn in big bags. Not sure about the okra, but fresh creamed corn. 🥺 We’re going to the farmer’s market tomorrow to get more strawberries (somebody wants another pie) and see if I can get some beefsteak tomatoes. > [@Paintcharge](#): > > Anybody got experience with this and have any advice? Not me, but here’s somebody who’s done it. > [@Any recent changes in colonoscopy prep?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-recent-changes-in-colonoscopy-prep/1001811/9): > > Or go without sedative. Then you can chat with the doctor as he does his thing. I don’t find it very painful, and i like that i can drive myself home and get on with my day. I think different doctors have different opinions re appropriate prep, and the prep varies widely right now, depending on your doctor. Mine had a very rigid regimen that included drinking gallons of grossness. I used a long plastic straw to transport the stuff past my tongue, so i didn’t really have to taste it. If you ha… > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > Today we’re off to Antwerp so it’ll be a train to London, a short walk from Euston to St Pancras (possibly via the Euston Tap or the Somers Town Coffee House), then the Eurostar to Brussels, and a train through to Antwerp. That would be a 10 hour trip for me, so I hope it’s a bit shorter for you, epecially if you’re just going for the weekend. > [@Sticks\_and\_Scones](#): > > Unfortunately I need a root canal and my dentist doesn’t do them. I now have an appointment for one next Tuesday. Root canal doesn’t sound like fun, but glad you don’t have to wait too long to get the tooth fixed. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Like, I dunno, lobster and baked beans? Sounds like a clambake got crossed with a BBQ. My grandfather would eat some strange combinations - his excuse was it was all going in the same place. **{{{JtC}}}** Thanks for the good wishes. The doctor gave me her card, so I can call with questions. At some point I have to figure out how to tell my parents without them going into full panic mode. Since I’ll see them before the surgery, I think I’ll do it in person. It’ll be my first surgery. My dad’s first surgery was when he was 49. I think my mom’s first surgery was her knee replacement at 79, unless cataract surgery counts. I am now officially allergic to latex. At least for medical procedures. I get a reaction from contacting black rubber, such as escalator handrails, and that’s enough for her to update my medical records accordingly. And on that note, time to go to bed. Good night! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-high-seas-mmp/1020586)._
