1. Yes
2. I banned her ass.

Well howdy! I thought she’d just disappeared a long time ago.

“Banned her? Dam near killed her!”*
*Nah, doesn’t mean anything.

Say, I keep seeing a little black dot pop up and run back and forth a half inch or so at top right, just about where the first comment scrolls down. Some obscure site feature, a virus in my browser, or have I finally started seeing things?

Author

I see it too. Must have started from the last WordPress update. Or, it’s mass delusion.

Oh and welcome back.

We all told you to lay off the Wine, Women, and Song, but noooooooo.
Beware of the Statin drugs like Crestor, a friend of mine was having all kinds of bad side effects.

Author

Yeah I told them to stuff that a few years ago. Then they tried Januvia which made my hands swell up like the Michelin Man. Now I’m on Atorvastatin. I have no ill effects that I’m aware of.

Good to hear 02, nice to see you psycho dad. That’s where I am now, getting another double transfusion and mooching hospital wifi, about the only time I get online these days. And no cute shaving nurses here dangit.

Member

Don’t worry about it. As you continue to age your eyes will fail and you can pretend they’re all cute. That’s how it works with my 98-year-old dad. He always asks, “Was she cute?” and I always answer, “Yeah, Dad, your nurse is a hotty.”

Hello,
I’m nurse Ratched and
I’m here to change your catheter. Noooo

One of my cousins used to go to the bar with my great grandfather. He told me he used to pinch all the women on the butt. I guess he was in it’s after 2AM mode.

Member

Yeah, what the hell is that black dot? I’ve been meaning to ask that question but I was afraid I was the only person seeing it.

Author

I have no clue. I’ll have to look into it.

Member

whiskeyriver

No little black dots, ufo’s or anything else on my monitor. Are you sure you guys aren’t doing a little day drinkin’?

Then again, I am doing a little day drinkin’ so maybe it’s me is isn’t seeing any dots or anything. (snicker)

Hi! Welcome back!

Welcome back PsychoDad! I too stayed gone for a while, partly because of the never Trump nonsense and partly for personal bullshit but I am glad to be among friends again. I kinda miss old Olive Oyl! If nothing else we could all get a laugh at some of the silly crap she posted!

Hey there PD….I still don’t care for Trump as a person, I think there were better candidates running during the primary but they didn’t win. Overall I give him a “C” so far. I still have no tolerance for left flat making stuff up even if it is about Trump, and will at least try to correct the record when it happens, yet at the same time I also have little tolerance when those on the right who try to act like he’s playing some type of 4th dimensional chess. But that just means I’m the same ol’ drb, who has to let her horns show. 🙂

Author

OK I’m home. They keep you forever waiting for the vein to close. They went through my arm this time. Basically they did nothing. Doc told me that a stent or angioplasty will make no difference. They’re trying some med changes to see what happens.

Thank you all for your concern and prayers.

Ooorah! Glad to hear it! Honest to God CO2, get a second or even third opinion. I had a mild heart attack in 2003 and the doctor I was going to told me I had to take all this medication because I was all screwed up. He wanted me to quit eating meat and start living on rabbit food. He said my cholesterol was way to high and my potassium levels were too low. If I had listened to him I would have been taking about $400 worth of medications per month to live. I said bullshit to that and got a second opinion from the doctor I still see today. He said my cholesterol was about 180 and anything under an aggregate 200 was great. He told me there was nothing really wrong with me other than high blood pressure, which is common when we get older. I take two pills per day for the blood pressure, less than $20 bucks worth each month. I eat what I want, I drink what I want and I am still in pretty good shape for a man my age!

Another little fact my doctor told me is doctors get kickbacks from drug companies. Push the crap they are selling and get X number of dollars for every prescription! I am not joking, I am not trying to bullshit you in any way old friend. Get a second, third, even a fourth opinion. You may find out, like I did, that the drugs your current doctor is giving you is part of your health problems. It’s a little early for a beer but nothing wrong with a healthy shot of Irish Cream in your coffee this morning! I’m 64 and it works for me!

Member

They went through your arm? So you missed the pleasure of having a cute young nurse shave your crotch? You poor bastard.

Author

No they do that anyway in case the arm doesn’t work. LOL.

She was cute. I had to think about Hillary to keep launch control calmed down.

Y’all are two are baskets of deplorable. 😉

Member

whiskeyriver

True but they are our deplorables so we love them anyway.

Member

whiskeyriver

At my age if launch control works I say yee-haw and let ‘er rip! lol…

Member

I remember having a debate with myself: is it more embarrassing to have a reaction or to not have a reaction? By the time I was done pondering that philosophical question, she was done.

Member

MGAP

A philosophizing deplorable…

Member

That’s the same excuse they gave me when I asked them why they were shaving both sides. “In case the doctor changes his mind about which side to use,” she answered. That was after I told her to get some help for the heavy lifting. Okay, yeah, it was meant to be a joke but she didn’t have to laugh that much…

Member

I’ve never seen a cute young nurse. The few times I have been in a hospital all my nurses looked like Mrs. Doubtfire only not as nice.

Member

The hospital I use is just across the street from a big nursing school so it’s chock full of cute young nurses-in-training. The doctors are so-so but the nurses are great.

Member

Awesome!

Member

whiskeyriver

Has anyone heard anything about CO2? Kind of worried about the old fart is all.

Author

OK folks. Been having chest pains again. Flunked the stress test. Time for a heart cath tomorrow. I don’t know if they’ll do a stent, an angioplasty or tell me I’m phucked. Will happen about 1PM PST. I will let you know how it went when it’s done. Prayers are appreciated. Thanks.

Member

Not so silent

Keep us updated as you can, Prayers from my family for you.

Looks like you don’t sleep much either Nss. Or are you supposed to be working? (snicker) As for me it seems 3 or 4 hours a night is enough as long as I get a little nap after lunch.

Member

whiskeyriver

Dayamit CO2 how many times have I told you that quitting smoking and drinking before noon was going to be bad for your health?

All jokes aside, big time hillbilly prayers are heading your way. Please let us know how things are going.

Author

Thank you they worked.

I should go see you, you can give me lessons in being a badass.

Member

So sorry. Please take care of yourself even though a pain. Prayers for you.

Author

They worked Kimmy. Thank you.

Member

You have my prayers. And I know exactly what you’re going through–had the same procedure last year. Only my orneriness, being what it is, had me barking at the doctor before he went in. He came around for his thirty second meet-‘n’-greet and ended up pissing me off something fierce. I told him he was going in to take a look, nothing else. He told me it was usually left up to the doctor whether they put in a stent or did something else. I told him no, not this time, and if he did anything but take a look I would shove his catheterization equipment up his… well, I think we’re all familiar with the term after Dicky Durbin’s press conference. Everybody’s different but my situation wasn’t a situation where I wanted anything done without talking to me first. I almost walked out because who wants a pissed-off heart surgeon shoving a cable up your crotch?

Member

MGAP

Yikes. Don’t piss of surgeons when they’re in ‘surgeon mode.’ Best to do that during clinic time! I learned that surgeons are a different breed of Doc years ago and to take into consideration that they feel they are several levels/stations above the exalted level that most Doctors feel they are entitled!
Their job is to cut you open and either put something in or take something out. No gray area for these guys.

Member

I’m going to tell you what I told CO2. You quit smoking and drinking before noon and it has screwed you up! Look at me! I’m 64 and start the day with a pot of coffee then a beer. End the day with a few shots of sour mash. Chew on 5 or 6 cigars per day. Do everything I can to frustrate my doctor! Nothing wrong with my cholesterol even though I am a beef, beans and potatoes guy. And fried foods still rule in my home! Bacon, eggs and hash browns cooked in bacon fat is the only way to start the day!

In a way I am kidding you guys, in a way I am not. Eat what you want, do what you want. As long as you feel good who cares what some overeducated doctor thinks. Quit taking all the pills they give you because most of them do more harm than good. I take two little pills for blood pressure problems, less than $20 bucks per month and if I forget a day no big deal. I eat what I want, drink what I want and still do pretty good every day. None of us are going to live forever guys so the thing is to live good instead of living longer. This is the chorus to a song Kris Kristofferson did back in the 1970’s.

“Now I love too much, fight too much
Stay out late at night too much
But you bet your butt I’m going to
Live before I die
And I may smoke too much, drink too much
Every blessed thing too much
It’s a low-down life, but it ain’t gonna pass me by”

Think about it my friends then have a shot, a smoke and live before you die. And tell your doctor to stick it in his/her ear.

Okay, I never get on here and say a lot, but I just read this and was fascinated with it because I don’t remember being exposed to it before. https://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2016/09/03/king-murdered-in-hospital/ My personal connection to the upcoming 50th anniversary of MLK’s assassination is the memory of returning to Memphis after my Spring break from my freshman year at college and arriving after dark during the curfew that followed the assassination. I drove from the east end of Poplar Avenue to my tiny apartment near Overton Park without seeing another car. Pretty spooky. No one tried to stop me.

Member

Pretty convincing link. Odd that the assassination of MLK and the assassination of JFK are linked by physical evidence to some of the same people, specifically Jack Ruby. There’s no way you can explain that away by labeling this a whacky conspiracy theory.

Member

SHAGGY

Yeah, Jack Ruby and Lyndon Johnson. I stayed in Memphis after college and left in 1986. Crime got so bad I knew I couldn’t stay there for the rest of my life.

Is anyone else getting tired of the sob story commercials from the ASPCA?
I’m an animal lover, but their commercials just piss me off. They try to guilt you into giving them money, and I hate it.

Member

Agreed. I used to donate. but they are money hungry and I heard they kill the animals anyway.

Member

whiskeyriver

Ever notice that they want as much or more per month to help the “poor” animals than St. Jude’s children and Shriners hospitals want to help “poor” children with disabilities and serious illnesses? Or the Wounded Warriors Project that helps thousand of veterans with disabilities?

I don’t “play well” with adults, don’t know very many I care to associate with, but a child or fellow veteran? I have never met a child I wouldn’t wrap my arms around and do all I could to protect and make sure they felt loved. I have met very few veterans who I would kick the crap out of because they are liars and never suffered like the real vets I served with. I send $50 bucks per month to those three charities and that is all I donate to.

Another “charity” I quit giving money to is the Salvation Army. I used to stuff cash into their red kettles every year until one year, about 20 years ago, when I was watching the Rose Bowl parade. I was doing a little “hair of the dog” thing to get rid of my hangover, watching the parade when I see this million dollar float. A Salvation Army float. In the Rose Bowl parade? This is where my money has gone? To finance a million dollar float to roll in the Rose Bowl parade? I have not given one penny to the Salvation Army since.

St. Jude’s. Shriners. Any veterans charity until they prove to be money hungry and not doing what they say with my cash, helping vets being number one. All the whale loving, dog loving, cat loving, eco freak assholes can kiss my old wrinkled ass and they will never see one penny in donations from me.

Has he even had his “Lopitoffome” yet?

Member

If you are talking about the traitor I don’t think so. I’m willing to bet that Manning he/she is going to file another lawsuit to force the VA to pay for his lopadickoffme operation.
