Topic: What are you doing right now?

Thanks 6, it was scary there for a week.

I'm have a well earned glass of XO brandy.

I totally get that.  I had an MRI for a suspicious problem with a salivary gland that could have been malignant.  The specialist I was sent to was an insouciant richard who couldn't be bothered to tell me my test results for a week.  Fortunately, I had an appointment the next day with my gynecologist who logged in and reassured me that the results were normal.

There should be a special circle in hell for doctors who don't tell worried patients that they are ok as soon as they know test results.  I fired the specialist and got another referral to somebody much better.

My experience was sort of the other way round. I went with an internal bleed which the very young doctor (who works with my wife) got all panicky about and put me on the 2 week rule (that's the NHS serious condition rule that gets you seen pronto).

Turns out it was almost unquestionably the Naproxen I was taking for my back.

I'm back to normal now and glad that you are ok too, six.

I'd be very careful about taking too much Naproxen.  My Dad had really bad arthritis and depended on it as a painreliever.  I suspect it was what killed him as he inexplicably dropped dead of a heart attack at 74, although he was active and in relatively good health, otherwise.  Naproxen has been linked to heart failure, but especially in adults over 60.  I'd just be careful.

We don't, either, as a rule.  Except when the ENT specialists are hopelessly incompetent.

Sitting in a waiting room. LiteSpeed still blocks my phone if I don't type in index. Just a heads up.

403 forbidden error.

Over here we don't tend to go to gynaecologists with salivary gland issues. Mayhap that's what's wrong with the NHS.

Had to dig christ's post up out of the bin to make six make sense.

Home again. Mom asked me to get stuff out of the trunk. FOund a frozen pizza that had rotted. Lovely!

Goodwill raised all the tv dvd's xfrom 4.99 to 7.99, so the manager who told me it was just one show was lying, and knew he was lying.

They had a subwoofer that matches some speakers I have but wanted 39.99 for just the woofer. I remember that set cost 39.99 at retail, and came with all the cords.

Someone needs a kick in the balls and a pink slip.

A very long time ago, the Goodwill was a real treasure trove of cool stuff.  Now it's a big room full of overpriced crap.  I will occasionally go there and mostly for housewares.  Their used jeans are nearly $10, which is ridiculous. I've seen used WalMart clothing there that was more expensive than when new at WalMart.

I suspect you can pick up DVDs on Amazon.com for less.  There's a listing for complete Monty Python (8 discs) for $13.  I doubt the Goodwill would let them go for so little.  It used to be that they trained disabled people by having them repair and reupholster furniture and other donations.  But now, unless stuff is in perfect shape they won't take it.  I cleaned out a house this summer and couldn't get them to take books or furniture.  Unbelievable. 

The story of the rotted pizza in the trunk made me laugh.

[8ullfrog]

Worst part is I would take pizza over leftovers any day, so it was like a small golly you from the universe.

I've got that 21 pilots song heathens stuck in my head.

And I am really starting to hate typing on a touch interface. How tactical officers on starships manage not to just boil diplomatic envoys is beyond me.

I have a small skin injury on my right index finger, so must wear a bandaid.  It's  playing havoc with my "magic mouse."  I keep having to click it multiple times to get the cursor to go where I want it.

Dog bit me kn right index finger, playing 360 difficult. Share your pain.
