Waxing the legs = not a big deal, IMO.  I used to do it in college and it does make the hair come back lighter.  But that was with the cheap wax-on-a-strip method that's no longer sold (hence why I stopped).

Putting hot wax anywhere near the body, much less the genitals = you deserve what you get, IMO.  That's just crazy talking, IMO.  I wonder if Sky was the one who posted a particular comment there...

[Sand]

So I can ask, cause I feel left out, what happened to Nerf's house thread?

[Lantyssa]

It got waxed by a Brazilian.

[ghost]

Extortion got out of hand?  Sorry Nerf.  You were owning the poor guy.

[Rasix]

For the record, I didn't delete it.   

[Ingmar]

I can wiggle my fingers and move my wrist now! If only I had a holocaust cloak.

[Furiously]

and a wheelbarrow.

Damn those companies that can't write an uninstall program so that it actually deletes all the files.  I just found 20gigs worth of shit on my HD, including the WAR beta files. Firaxis, you're not off the hook either.. 12 of those gigs were your fault.

Ed: Eq2 and the Station Launcher, too? Sins of a Solar empire, Warcraft3, Starcraft.. Jesus I need to look in the program files directory more often.

Nice app, thanks.  Told me that Steam also likes to leave lots of shit on your disk after you uninstall a game.  Hello full disk .isos for fallout3 and another 5.5gb. AAaand Hellgate London, hiding in the EA Download Manager cache for another 7.1gb.

No wonder I couldn't figure out why I had no space when I only have 70gb of music and pictures and 5 often-used programs of more than 10gb.

[Ingmar]

I like SpaceMonger as a tool for finding random giant directories too:

Gives you a visual representation of relative directory size.

[Zetor]

I use SequoiaView, more of the same but it's freeware -- http://w3.win.tue.nl/nl/onderzoek/onderzoek_informatica/visualization/sequoiaview/

[Ironwood]

It's all about the winsxs.

 

[Ingmar]

It's all about the winsxs.

 

Yeah, and you can't do anything about that one for the most part.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, that's why I added the emotes.  I have a wee 36gb installation of win7 that has 7gb in that dir.

It's madness.

[Lantyssa]

WinDirStat wins because of the Pacman icons while munching data.

4 wisdom teeth pulled today, badass blizzard incoming to chicago and my only thought is

"Hydrocodene, you're my only friend"

They prescribed me 90 5/500 hydrocodone pills for my shoulder surgery, they barely seem to do anything, even if I take 2. Which I guess is OK, since my shoulder doesn't really hurt but after hearing about the wonders of vicodin for years, I'm not impressed.

[Minvaren]

Hydrocodone really does affect people differently.  Some pass out, some get violently ill to their stomach, and some (like me) just feel a little loopy but are still in massive pain.

Heard they killed darvocet when I was at the dentist's a month ago.  That makes me a sad panda - it was the only thing that really worked for me for that kind of pain.   

[Segoris]

I'm on 600mg of ibuprofuren and 10mg hydrocodene/325mg tylenol, I think the combo of that and that its only been 2hours since I woke up (so some of the IV sedative is present) is why I'm not hurting yet. I'm guessing later the codene will barely do anything later

[ghost]

IV dose of Toradol and a steroid at the same time is what most oral surgeons should be using for pain.  Works like a charm.  Of course it doesn't give you that "buzzy" feeling, so some patients don't like it. 

[SnakeCharmer]

The morphine they gave me when I had kidney stones was pure  

[ghost]

Morphine is a whole different ball of wax than hydrocodone or even percocet/darvocet.  Of course that is why it is given IV and under the watchful eye of a doctor/nurse. 

[Salamok]

sodium pentothal, too bad they don't send any home with you.

[Ironwood]

Did you tell the truth ?

[Rasix]

Did you tell the truth ?

That's why they don't send it home with you.

[Ironwood]

I can't imagine any truth I'd care to hear at home.

I had an absolute gorgeous nurse.  

Which I promptly impressed by hurling my breakfast into a biohazard container while asking for her phone number.

Worst pain I've ever experienced, and I honestly wouldn't wish it on anyone.  Started under my ribcage at about 3 am, and by 6 am, it felt like someone was kicking me in the nuts every 3 seconds.  I thought the first bit of pain was a pulled rib muscle or something since I had played somewhere near 4 rounds of golf the previous day while drinking a case of beer.

Yes, something to do with depression or suicides.  I recently bought a few boxes while I was in Belize, it is still legal down there.

[Ingmar]

Heart arrhythmia actually...

[Minvaren]

People popping 87 at a time and forgetting there was acetaminophen in it was my understanding - bye bye liver.

[Oban]

Heart arrhythmia actually...

That too, but apparently they were a great way to commit suicide.

Speaking of which, snow days were great fun when I was a kid, but trying to keep kids entertained during a snow day is not fun.

[Yegolev]

My opinion of many things is opposite of what it was when I was a kid.

Give 'em a shot of rum and send them out to play in the streets.  It will be the best day of their lives.   

[Nebu]

Speaking of which, snow days were great fun when I was a kid, but trying to keep kids entertained during a snow day is not fun.

This is why we created thermal underwear and snowpants.  Give them a shovel and something to make snow bricks out of and send them out on their way.  This is what my mom did to me as a child in Minneapolis, regardless of the reading on the thermometer.
