Useless Conversation

You should stuff it with pâté de foie gras and cover it with a bit of puff pastry and call it Stray Wellington.

[stray]

That would surely make me up to snuff.

[voodoolily]

Nibble nibble I'm making cassoulet this weekend! With my hubby hubz!

[Signe]

How do you cook it?  In the oven or on the stove top?  That's something Righ would probably really like, though I'm not much of a bean person.  My sister makes a nice veggie version.

If the wound isn't bad enough that they scheduled you to have it re-packed and re-dressed every day then I don't think you need to worry about it. I had surgery for a horrible recurring abscess a couple of years ago and I had to go get it packed with gauze every morning before work for like a month.

NO FUN AT ALL. TRUST ME.

I swear, I never saw the same nurse twice in a row. I'm convinced they all left the field of medicine after seeing me.

[stray]

Damn, sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully this doesn't become a recurring problem, and grateful that I don't have to get it re-packed multiple times. I was really shocked at how much it hurt.

I know this isn't exactly pleasant conversation for F13, but I'm curious about what qualified it as a "horrible" abscess? How big was it?

[Reg]

It's not that it was so big really. As long as I caught it early in a flareup and got onto antibiotics right away it wasn't so bad. That problem was that no matter how many drugs I took it never fully healed. There was always enough infected material left to provoke another abscess a few weeks or months later.

The only way to permanently fix the problem was for a surgeon to cut it open and clean it out thoroughly.

From what you've said about your problem it sounds to me like your doctor decided to deal with the problem right away and that's probably a very good thing.

When I was in high school, we had to do a 3 week internship somewhere we thought we would like to work/do later in life.  I chose a hospital, because I though I wanted to be a doctor.  Some poor kid got shot in the ass cheek by a shotgun at close range trying to escape out a window of the hosue he was trying to rob, and I had the lovely experience of watching that hole get unpacked/packed with gauze for 2 days straight.  I very nearly fainted the first time I saw it.

[rattran]

But it successfully cured you of wanting to be a doctor, right.

I had a similar thing in highschool, except involving a vet, and a cow giving birth. And then prolapsing.

Good for nightmare fuel FOR YEARS.

We're using Tony Bourdain's recipe from the Les Halles cookbook, which does it in the oven. No joke, the recipe calls for you to puree pork rind for the sauce. Can you believe that shit?

[Yegolev]

Apparently we are also having some landscaping done, judging by the state of my yard.  It's a good thing I'm so laid back and don't even get upset at being yelled at for the usual shit I get yelled at for anymore.

Also I have never seen a Well Policeman, and if I did I would tell him to get lost.  Groundwater wants to be free, yo.

[Signe]

Apparently?  Do you even live in your house?

[Yegolev]

I do spend many non-pay-generating hours there.  I don't have my thesaurus handy... what is a good way to describe how I came home one day and there were shallow channels dug into my yard?

So, did that cure you of wanting to be a doctor, or a slow burglar?

People who put chopped sweet pickles in tuna salad should be given a blanket party. That is all.

pickled jalapenos FTW!

Dredging

[Yegolev]

I'm sure they used shovels.  It's not important now that my house is surrounded by black landscape fabric, what's important is how I lost a lot of time in Uncharted when it locked up last night.  My wife's solution is to play Folklore instead.  Her thought processes continue to baffle me.

[Signe]

That particular thought process seems completely reasonable to me.  I don't think your wife is nuts at all, actually.  I think it's YOU who has to wipe the ice cream stains off his forehead.  YOU!

Good Grief!  It's a bungee jump not a suicide!

As of this post, I am 99% certain that you are actually my wife or perhaps her good twin.

[Signe]

I'm the good twin? 

[Yegolev]

Mostly because we do not share domiciles.

[stray]

I didn't mention that I got those pills murgos was talking about (for that abscess). Not at all like the jello inducing muscle relaxers I took. These are good! Like a mild xanax or something. I could see how walking with a 100lbs on my back could possibly be tolerable.

[Yegolev]

I'm the good twin? 

My wife would never use that avatar once, and you have used it twice.  Verdict: Good Twin.

[Signe]

Maybe even three times.  It is inspired by too much titty talk.  I also have a file full of banana oriented avatars for when people start yapping about blow jobs too much. 

[Sky]

There is no such thing as too much titty or bj talk.

[Signe]

I have avatards of children and baby farm animals eating bananas for when you guys get carried away, too. 

I'LL SHOW YOU!  I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!!!

[Lantyssa]

Since you asked for it:

[Sky]

I'll show you! I'll show you a 48 cylinder bike.

[Murgos]

She is right though, this site definitely lacks the proper proportion of BJ and the Bear talk to make this a truly world class stop on the Internet Super Highway...

[voodoolily]

Fuh, BJ is hawt.

[Lantyssa]

I had to look him up again.  Greg Evigan.  He was also in My Two Dads.  I used to love that show.
