I’m not saying I killed it on the stock market today, but there’s a good chance I’m cutting up a hot dog into my Kraft Dinner tonight.

You’ll never be as lazy as the person who named the fireplace.

‘Scuze me, gotta schedule my colonoscopy.

 

[balrog]

gotta schedule my colonoscopy.

Yer first?!

You *are* a youngun.

Don't want to take this thread down a hole...[pause for cognition]...but being "old" plus having a familial history (dad had a foot of colon removed at 65) I've done that colonoscopy rodeo (counts fingers) seven times now with the latest one just this spring and I can say the "prep" has greatly improved from the olden times. Seriously, it's cartwheels better.

No longer have to down a gallon of incredibly disgusting solution (omg - I wanna puke just thinking about it!) now you swallow some pills and drink a designated volume of plain water, and you're good for lift off! (and trust me, it is effective. Buckle up!)

I'm good for 3 years. Most would be good for five...

Cheers!

Gotta admit putting off my scopes because the prep was worse than the procedure

That's next, tho.

Wife has had cancer 3x in the past 6 years. Colon, lung & colon metastasized to her lungs. So I've been prioritizing her health at the expense of my own.

Sorry, babe... that's gotta change

 

[day_trippr]

Damn, that sucks. Sorry to read that, hope she is doing as well as possible.
'Scopes work. I had five tubular adenoma polyps removed that potentially could have progressed...

Parenting in the digital age:

 

[GrogNerd]

Just had surgery & one of my nurses in CV-ICU was named "Jessica" so I listened to some Allman Brothers.

She recognized the song, had no idea she shared names with it.

I would say the percentage of Jessicas named after that song approaches 0%.

Next nurse was named "Annalee", so I switched to The Band.

Nurse Annalee: "you know, I was named..."

I would say the percentage of Annalees named after that song is exactly 100%

I can do this all night. Or at least for a couple more verses.

 

[GrogNerd]

good drugs & the best people to care for me


I was lucky I didn't have to be carted into my triple bypass, I walked in. the team had 3 weeks to test & prepare for the procedure.

I think this is the most important key to my, so far, easy recovery

Jeebus, that still sounds scary AF. Was it open or did they make small holes instead?

Cheers! (And welcome back, again )

Glad it’s working out for you

Cracked wide open. Also smaller holes for drainage

The practice doing the work is pioneer in the use of minimally invasive robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graph.

But only single bypasses. I had triple

Seriously, congrats, and hope you give yourself time to heal now...

If you could marry a supermodel or go flying every day, would you fly a single or a twin engine plane?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I had a disccusion a few days ago with the head brewer of a local place, he said something along the lines of no matter how small the amount of lavender is the beer‘s gonna taste like soap. I have a package of lavender flowers that I picked up for some beer or mead before hearing this… today I stumbled across this offering somewhere in Massachusetts.

I always figured that was what they used for Thrills gum... never tasted like soap to me, but a lot of people say it does. I like lavender.

Hey!.. Why not marry the supermodel and get a learjet or helicopter in the divorce settlement?

 

[day_trippr]

Twins are a crash looking to happen.
I'd stick with a single...

Cheers!

Yes, if an engine fails on a twin, the other engine allows you to fly with power to the scene of the crash.

Brew on

 

[mac_1103]

I'd let somebody else fly the plane so I could have sex with my supermodel wife during the flight.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Mmmmmmmm, twins.

 

[GrogNerd]

Just because you haven’t found the right person yet doesn’t mean you will

 

[BongoYodeler]

Nobody has ever been more surprised than a husband hearing about his wife’s plans for the second time.

I saw the new Barbie movie and to be honest, I expected a lot more shrimp to be thrown on her...

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I was given a free 4pk of mystery beers to go… drink them today, or risk flying them home In checked bag?

I check beer all the time, never had an issue. Just make sure they're well cushioned and away from the sides of the suitcase.

 

[balrog]

@Hoppy2bmerry , what @BongoYodeler said. Recently flew OR to MA without issue, LLBean soft-sided suitcase checked with a few cans tucked as completely interior to any side as possible.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Thanks all for the packing advice. If you see another mystery beer roulette post you’ll know it was a success.

JFC...

when did it stop being "I'm doing this for you because I love you"
& become "I'm doing this for you so you stop bitching about having to do it"

My first guess would be, about half way to "irreconcilable differences"
