YAY! He's BACK! AND HIS FRONT! THEY"RE BOTH THERE! :P
Welcome back MWB, glad to see your able to type again.
Good news here too! I (Supposedly) get my i-net/cable/phone (with original #) back tomorrow!
Just in time to lose it again for Ike, but hey, for a WHOLE day I'll feel like a member of the world again! ;)
Laters,...
I R B back, more or less. Mostly less, but that's neither here or there. Everyone still with us? I have some presents to hand out (well, it's hard to call something a present if you earn it), more details to follow.
Thanks for the time!
Oh, yeah; I'm not leveled but I can do that tinnoit.
Friggity frack, ya'll.
Slight speedbump, as Marcy has a migraine today and I've been watching Drew, in addition to trying to get the laundry done, exercise, work on a presentation (about Devo, no less, not my choice), give a 6 minute speech on camera, get another lingerie order in (that one is going to have to get pushed to tomorrow, yet again, dammit), get my stupid movies out, cover my butt as Countrywide had my mortgage information hacked, read up on wallpaper sizing, and try to update here too. Not to mention I just discovered the freaking camera battery is dead as a doornail and I have to wait to charge the stupid thing so I can give the speech and GO TO SLEEP. Gah. Should be better tomorrow; at least it is sunny and cool out.
Sweet, cos I'm still not leveled.

Mike, I've got a really strange off-topic question for you:
What do your migraines feel like? The reason I'm asking is that ever since I've started running again, I've been getting these f@##ing nasty headaches. They feel sort of like repeated blows with a hammer right between my eyes (about one in five hammer blows -which are spaced about thirty seconds apart- causes my vision to blur, and occasionally, I see bright flashes of light). Is this anything like what you've experienced? The reason I'm asking is that I'm not sure if they're moderate-level migraines or just really f+!%ing nasty dehydration headaches.

Iiiii'Mmmm BAaaaack!
Online, at home that is!

Mike, I've got a really strange off-topic question for you: What do your migraines feel like?
Excellent question! Migraines tend to come on slow, so at the beginning, there is always this extended period of, “What kind of headache is this?” Sometimes you wake up with one, and you just know. Do not do any dang thing today because you are screwed. Localized head pain is a good indicator of a migraine. Behind an orbit (eye) is typical, though occasionally I’ll have them on the sides of my head as well. Triggers for migraines are all over the place, I’ve heard everything from cheese to humidity to you name it, but mine tend caused by sleeping with sinus pressure.
Some people have aura with their migraines, some don’t. My wife and I both do; she will go blind in one eye, I have blurred vision and a ratcheting up of my olfactory sense. Nausea is a big factor with migraines; chances are good if it hurts in one place and only throwing up and cowering under the sheets makes it go away, it’s a migraine. Noise, sensitivity to light; migraine.
The pain. Hmmm. How to describe it. It’s like…someone is jamming a railroad spike into your head. Throbbing, aching, soul crushing pain that makes you wish you would die so it would stop. If murdering people and bathing in their blood would stop the pain, you wouldn’t think twice. When it finally does let up, there is usually a brief period of total euphoria followed by intense exhaustion.
I have what the people at work call my “acid test” for people who have migraines, and people who say they get migraines:
The cure for migraines is skinning a baby, popping out one of your eyeballs, and fellating the pope. Now turn around in a circle and look at the people. Anyone not holding a knife, a condom, and a grapefruit spoon doesn’t actually get migraines.
Now the real problem is, what if the pope gets migraines? That guy doesn’t look too flexible. Yeah, I’m going to hell.
By the way, if you do think it might be migraines, treat it seriously. My wife has permanently damaged areas of her brain now because of her migraines, and “isn’t allowed” to have any more, hence the scary medication they make her take when she even suspects she’s about to have one.
um,... wow.
That was, by far, the absolutely BEST description I've ever heard/read of a migraine!
And scary,... <shiver> I've known people that have had them, (I have issues, headaches included, but they've never come,... quite,... that bad!) but they were never able to articulate as you did the,... unpleasantness, of them.
And the PbP Nobel prize goes too,... ;)
Figures I would have one the very next day. Couldn't tell either way until I was looking for bananas at Aldi and had the sudden urge to hurl my guts out.
Rough day here today, had to put our youngest cat (8 years) to sleep due to a liver tumor. He was pretty sick, but at least it was a good rainy day for a burial.
Sure hope Heathy is ok down there in Texas!
Frickin' roof is leaking. No rain for two months and now the 'canes are blowing the place up. Ah well, could be much, much worse. If it ever lets up I'll head up there with the roofing tar.
Heh,
Figgers that the one that misses me would head for Heathy!
Some days you just can't win! ;)
STay dry Heathy!
Nice weather here. Spent the day at the beach. Awesome.
uhm...well; just wanna say; without a hurricane; we dont get any rain out here in the desert so yes, the sky might be broke and all that, but at least our resevoir is getting filled and we havent rationed water yet this year so hope you can all take that as a positive spin as you watch somebodies sofa float down the street.
so; are we leveling or not; am confused? hehe hints of presents are driving me nuts a n t i c i p a t i o n!
Where's my small blood obsidian greatsword? All I got is a medium sized crapped on b!&#@y black dagger.

I've had exactly 4 migraines.
I remembered yesterday: heat. I get hot when I get migraines. Specifically my forehead and the top of my head. Literally to the touch, and it feels as if my brain is boiling. Not every migraine, but often enough to really suck.

Double hmmm...
We have enough symptoms in common to concern me a bit, but not enough to make me want to get help for it. I hate doctors.
Yeah, I waited a looooonnnnngggg time to medicate my migraines. I don’t like taking pills unless I’m darn sure I need them (see current situation), but one thing I really like about the current meds: it keeps me from puking. Whatever the stuff does to work its magic, the imitrex takes away the nausea. The headache doesn’t totally go away, but you care about it less, enough to get through the day and get to bed at any rate. I’ve slept in the car in parking lots several times because I couldn’t get home. Driving with a migraine = hurling all over yourself. I have puked in every car I’ve ever driven for that reason. I can usually make it just fine on half a pill if I catch it early, but if you wait too long even a full pill won’t fix it, so it’s a real delicate balance on whether to take one of not (because you only get 9 to a packet). That and the cool part is, I only take one if I don’t want to lose an entire day. No regimen to follow.
The spray crap Marcy takes now freaking works, and if it doesn’t you keep snorting it until it does, but the downside is 100% total sinus blockage for the next eight hours.
Hm,...
Total incapacitation due to blinding pain, or loss of ability to breathe?
Decisions, decisions,... ;P
I had a migraine,... once. And THAT was enough!
I have enough regular headaches, and sinus problems, etc. to deal with. I hope that never comes back. :P

I dub 2008 "Year of "The Suck"."
Crazy weather this year too, eh?

ROFLMAO!!!
OW! Must,... Stop,... Laughing,...
Oh, Wait, He's right,...
My penis hurts after last night.
Slammed it in the toilet again?
I guess you could call her that.
It HAS been an excessively wierd year.

Well, my girl got this new fantastically great lube stuff; comes in a black bottle; supposed to be the best on the market; can get its name for you if you like; much better than anything else we have tried; head and shoulders better than K-Y; cool thing is it doesnt wear out and doesnt get all sticky.
that is about all I wanna say about that; but will get you the name if you like so you can try it; we dont get chapped as much since using it. Course, you may not be talking about that if it hurts when you pee; you might need to see the doc for a silver bullet though I hear they give it in a pill now and when you take your prescription to the pharmacist for such a huge dose of antibiotics they raise their eyebrows and chuckle at you cause they know your like a leaky faucet; leastwise; that is what I heard from some friends in the know.

Sounds like Wet Platinum, if I had to guess.
With Halloween fast approaching, here’s a safety tip: Don’t eat strange candy! Rofl. Friend at work wanted me to try these new lemon pomegranate mints. They were pretty tasty. They were also fortified with zinc. Um…yeah. Got off the elliptical machine that morning after work (physical exertion always seems to be the catalyst, maybe it pushes things through me quicker?) to a face full of hives and a seriously angry stomach. Sick all that day, then exhausted the entire second day. Feel decent today but have a lil’ headache from sleeping in (stupid caffeine addiction).
Anywho, is your daughter ok, Krue? Not sure if the media is being the media about the milk thing, but sheesh, horrifying.
Oiy, that sounds horrific. Reminds me of the time Marcy and I got rotavirus from Culver's.
Oh hey, that brings up a good point. Had another migraine....Saturday...? Anyhow, it reminded me of another symptom; every time a migraine comes on, I have the urge to have a large bowel movement. Not an episode or anything, just a big, satisfying poop. No clue what causes that.
Oiy Vay! Too much information! ;)
Seriously, maybe it's your body knowing that your gonna be laid up for a while, and trying to get everything out of the way (Literally), first? ;P
Quick update, still here, my fault for being slow on updates.
Still on the suck pills, had to go to sleep early yesterday due to class. Today I will be taking Drew to play in the mall play place while my wife gets all her beautiful, luxurious, waist-length hair hacked off (sigh), and then I need to clean up the spare room to prepare to take in an abandoned neighborhood cat. Tomorrow I need to take said cat to the vet, and assumed relations with the two existing cats go ok, I ought to be able to update (freakin’ finally).
Didn’t go so well, turned out he had Felive HIV and had to be put down. Rough week for cats (and people).
Guess who has tonsillitis? Woooo! Slept through the last two days; still too tired to think. I know it’s just something taking advantage of my body’s exhaustion, but cripes.
Damn, dude. Youse can't catch a break.
Didn’t go so well, turned out he had Felive HIV
AIDS for cats? Whoa.....
I apparently am violently allergic to Mucinex....bad scene, man. About 2 years ago...my digestive tract tried to void itsself through every orifice of my body simultaneously, and I flushed red and white like a chameleon break dancing on a barber pole.
Thank you, I cut and pasted that into a list of things I never want to read again but can't stop myself.

Remind me to tell you (or not) about the time I reckon I got salmonella, and swore to the lord I'd never eat another chicken not cooked by an immediate family member ever ever again. That was about the worst, I reckon.
Just for the record, never eat expired squeez-cheez straight out of the can. You'll pay for it in blood, sweat, and vomit.
Lol; thanks for the heads up.

Oh the enterotoxic things I've eaten in China.... My first 5 months here I lost 20 lbs.
Ahhh memories.
Did I tell you about the time I was eating diced chicken with vegetables and i got someones broken open sunflower seed shell in my mouthful?
It was cooked. Yah I've had hepatitis vaccinations. And just about every other disease that can be vaccinated against.
So, who's up for a little vacation in China?
Hey could someone pass the melamine, please?
Hey, who cut the melamine?
umm,... Oh Wait! Don't tell me! know this one!
'Got Milk'?!?
;P
