archermoo Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I was in a store and had a kid bounce off my leg and start crying. Same problem. Sunday I wanted to drop one kid into the La Brea Tar Pits though. Obnoxious, poor hygine, and foul mouth. And the mom thought it was funny. Yeah, I always figured one of a parent's most important jobs is to convince their children that the world does indeed not revolve around them.

AmadanNaBriona Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I'm back from my second surgery. ... I'm higher than a kite. I have Darvoset to keep me company in the future. The last time I took Darvoset, for some damn-fool reason it hit me like a combination of medical grade caffine and Viagra. Nothing like being up all night with a flagpole and an abscessed tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmadanNaBriona Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Re: The cranky thread First off, I should'a checked my horrorscope today, because I strongly expect it would've mentioned something about the inanimate objects that kept trying to kill me all day long today. Gonna have a few new scars. And the Dr. Horrible soundtrack has served to fill a similar role to various previous musicals... Phantom a few years ago, Sweeney Todd back in college. I go through the various "Stages of grief" over being single, except I have a 6th stage, after "Acceptance"... "Sociopathy". I can exist for years at "Acceptance" and women won't give me the time of day. Once I hit "To heck with it, time to start thinking about victims" they start appearing out of the woodwork, smiling at me, sending me messages on dating sites, and telling me how "Happy" I seem. WTF? Like, is it because I'm always singing songs under my breath about killing people, destroying the world, and having no feelings?

WTF? Like, is it because I'm always singing songs under my breath about killing people, destroying the world, and having no feelings? You and I have similar likes. As for the thing with the women, I'm guessing that your sociopathy registers as confidence or even arrogance. For reasons which still elude me, these qualities attract women in swarms. That's why scumbags seem to get all the girls and nice guys wind up stuck alone at home. I personally have had most success with the opposite sex during those times when I had decided that I didn't need, or want, a girl for any reason. The only thing that got me more attention than that was my boy, when he was a baby. Girls like babies even more than they like scumbags.

Old Man Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Re: The cranky thread A couple weeks ago my wife's best friend's aunt went to the doctor complaining about a light discharge. They took out her uterus, ovaries, colon, and some of her abs, and didn't get anywhere close to getting all the cancer out. Everything they've heard from the doctors so far sounds like code for "game over". The best friend is something of a wreck; she and the aunt were close.

Old Man Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Re: The cranky thread So that really happens. What do you know. I knew another guy--a doctor, in fact--who went to the doctor complaining of occasional abdominal pain. It turned out to be pancreatic cancer and it killed him in less than 90 days. He deserved better, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rather long incision, but for some reason half of it didn't seal back up while it was bandaged, so when the bandages fell off, it was, well, exposed. I just wish it would stop ITCHING.

As annoying as it is, itching in an incision is generally good. It usually means that things are healing up. Not that that helps while things are itchy...

Apparently, however, it's not an infection. The tissue just took its own sweet time deciding to get itchy and swollen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Re: The cranky thread I just scraped the paint off my car door because some idiot doesn't know how to part (actually, counting me that's two idios who don't know how to park) I'm not so broken up over it as I paid 200 for the car, and I'm getting a new one as soon as I am once again employed but I still don't know how I'm going to get my car out of my parking spot without taking the mirror off.
