25620. iiibbb - 8/28/2009 6:04:52 PM Unfortunately I need windoze. I'll have xp. I might make it a dual boot later. 25621. alistairconnor - 8/28/2009 6:19:07 PM I put a 120 Gb disk in my old laptop, I saved a partition for perhaps a Linux distro, if I ever get around to it.
In other news, I have approximately one hundred and twenty chigger bites. 25622. iiibbb - 8/28/2009 6:49:07 PM Chigger fun
I hate the bastards. I use clothes with permethrin treatment when I work in the woods. 25623. judithathome - 9/1/2009 2:27:04 PM Had I stayed married to my first husband, today would be my 48th wedding anniversary!
Luckily, on Valentines's Day next year, my second (and last) husband and I will celebrate our 28th!
(There were almost 2 years in there that I was single...ha!) 25624. Dubai Vol - 9/1/2009 11:07:15 PM Happy unaversary! Last week was the 20th unaversary of my previous marriage. Where does the time go? 25625. judithathome - 9/2/2009 1:34:20 PM Well, given that I am no longer WITH my ex, it was a happy anniversary, indeed. Since you recently had a NOT-one, too, I'm sure you know what I mean!
Odd thing about the ex...he has never re-married nor is he a very happy man. I'm sure he blames me for all of it.... 25626. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:04:08 AM It's 42 years since I first met my first love in 1967 and we just spent the day together after n ot seeinf each other for 39 or so years. This is contrary to your warnings, Judith. I'm still not sure you were entirely wrong, but some things just must be done. 25627. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:04:26 AM It's 42 years since I first met my first love in 1967 and we just spent the day together after n ot seeinf each other for 39 or so years. This is contrary to your warnings, Judith. I'm still not sure you were entirely wrong, but some things just must be done. 25628. anomie - 9/3/2009 1:05:04 AM Not sure how the double post happened. Sorry. 25629. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 3:13:40 AM Well, sinus surgery is in the morning. 25630. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 3:15:55 AM I hope all goes for the best for both of you, Ano. 25631. Ms. No - 9/3/2009 5:24:56 AM Make 'em give you the good drugs, Arky!
Heal fast! 25632. Dubai Vol - 9/3/2009 1:18:38 PM Best advice I ever got from a doctor was after a minor outpatient procedure on my *********. He wrote me a scrip for Tylenol with codeine and asked "do you like beer? Good, have your wife stop on the way home and pick up a six pack. Go home,drink five and put one between your legs!"
Army medicine, sir!
25633. arkymalarky - 9/3/2009 1:37:46 PM Thanks No! On the road there now.
Sounds like a plan for my nose, Dubai! Especially since I can't take codeine. 25634. judithathome - 9/3/2009 5:45:32 PM Anomie, glad you met up with her...who knows? This may turn out to be the best thing that's happened to you both!
Just don't ask me to take pictures of your wedding...that happened once, a couple who had dated in high school reunited after 20 years with other people and decided to tie the knot and asked me to take pictures at their wedding.
My camera...or the photographer, most likley!...screwed up and used the wrong film...I asked the developer to "push" the developing, which was the advice from my photography teacher...all the shots were black except for one: a romantic shot of them facing one another (before the ceremony) and both were frowning and looking stricken. It looked a scene from an Igmar Bergman movie!
Needless to say, I haven't heard from them since. 25635. arkymalarky - 9/4/2009 12:54:26 AM Well, I'm home recuperating, but no packing, no bruises, and I don't look like I had surgery. Except I can tell a difference looking at the middle of my nose, and before it started clotting up the breathing difference was HUGE.
More painful than I thought it would be, but he cleaned it in surgery and next week's follow-up should be a lot easier as a result, according to him. I had a cyst up there, for one thing. Ugh.
I don't want to speak too soon, but I think this is going to be what everyone said it would and more. Not daring to hope it will remedy the migraines, but I really do think it's possible for the weather-related ones, which most of mine are. And I won't be disappointed if I ever get another sinus infection, but I will be if they're back-to-back or stay and stay. I have one now, as a matter of fact.
Thanks to everybody for the support and information! 25636. rdbrewer - 9/4/2009 1:53:27 AM Hi, kids. Will YouTubes post here? 25637. Dubai Vol - 9/4/2009 3:57:52 AM Yes, just copy the "embed" script from YouTube (to the right of the video) and paste it here.
Bugs, for example
25638. Ms. No - 9/4/2009 4:33:49 AM Excellent news, Arky! 25639. anomie - 9/4/2009 1:27:46 PM Arky, I was curious about the pain involved. Didn't they numb you? I almost had a sinus procedure once but declined, and eventually it cleared. I'm still prone to earaches on occasion though.
