Just a quick update on OM...

....For those wondering why I've been rather quiet the past week or so,
last Saturday morning I suffered a bit of a gastrophoresis attack -
nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, bad sweats, *no* diarrhea - and wound
up having to get EMS'd as I couldn't maintain stability enough to get
into the wheelchair. They got it under control and released me Sunday
night, but Monday morning it hit again almost as bad. This time I was
able to get their with some control, and wound up getting faster
service because they hadn't totally logged me out of the system yet!
Anyway, by Wednesday morning they'd finally gotten a handle on the
situation, if not the cause, and let me go that afternoon. I'm still
not totally back on my foot, and have doubled my regolin dosage to
keep the stomach in check, but so far I'm holding up.

....Now, here's the fun part: what totally threw them off was that when
the ER doc looked at my past history, the first thing he figured was
"ok, fat guy, type 2 diabetes, just pump him full of phenagrin and a
shot of morphine and send him home...*after* you get the blood sugar
down, just to teach the fat **** a lesson!" However, when the finger
stick showed a sugar level of 121, the quack realized that something
*else* was going on. The same thing happened the second time around,
only the sugar was 135. What they suspect now is that my stomach end
of the nervous system got knocked out of whack by four days of diet
change and fasting to accommodate some blood chemistry tests my new
primary care quack ordered up for me. All those were completed on
Friday, and I'd had one fairly substantial but balanced meal the night
before all hell broke loose.

So what's the bottom line moral of all this? Damned if you do, damned
if you don't, so just eat what the **** you want because no matter
what it is, it's still gonna **** you over so you'd better just enjoy
it while you can...:-P :-P

Yep.... I'd rather die fat, dumb and happy, than die skinny, dumb and
hungry.

What a ****ing waste of bandwidth

What a ****ing waste of bandwidth

I've never really understood this statement, I hear it all
the time, but where's the shortage of bandwidth?
If you're from some third world country that only
has Internet for a few minutes a day or something, isn't
that really your problem?

At most, it's a click of the mouse to avoid any post
and to complain about something as minor as that
is really quite bizarre. Yet people do it all the time.
So what's really going on?

Maybe it was a waste of space because it wasn't
entertaining enough for you? Or maybe you wanted
some pictures to go with it? Was it too long?
If the post had been the opposite, say, a post
about having a great time out on vacation, would
that have been worthy enough for you? Granted that
most vacation stories are a bit lacking in excitement.

Or are you just worried about the server and trying
to help their bottom line? That's it, you're being
a good Samaritan by keeping the bandwidth safe
for us, the worthy posters. And keeping the server
economically healthy to insure an uninterrupted flow of
bandwidth. Even though this is going on and on, I'm
not trying to waste your precious empty space, really, I
want to know these answers.

Why do you waste bandwidth, the bandwidth you seem
to worship, with such a miserable response?
Which post, the original or yours, displays a higher
level of misery? And which kind of misery should
be flamed, physical or spiritual?

And keep your answers short please.

Read it; he's right (yes, I said that).

There's no shortage of oxygen, either, but some people are still a
waste of it.

....As opposed to quoting an entire post and then adding only one line
of comment, and a lame one at that?

That's what I'm sayin' !!!!

Yes, eating the entire tube of Kickin' CHeddar Pringles in one sitting *is*
a bad thing. Still, enjoy life.

So, why haven't all those sweeties at the "gentlemen's clubs" been visiting
Stumpy?
