To avoid another tedious trip to the doctors, this evening I took out some stitches from a wound on my hip. Funnily enough this turned out to be not quite as fun as one might imagine. The first two were pretty easy but the third one, the skin/scabbing had grown completely over it. I had to get a friend to cut into it to fish it out enough to get the scissors underneath. Not the most fun I've had today.
Unfortunately the reason for it is extremely un-rock and roll. Apparently the glands in the skin that secret oil can sometimes get blocked and it builds up over time. What they took out looked like a 1x1" Krang. It's common in people of Celtic heritage, so the doctor tells me.
I thought maybe the non-squeemish amongst you might like to see my vagina shaped wound... Click here ------>

Do you English folks really use 'stone' to measure weight? Is it easier to recall the weight of a 'stone' rather than just 20 pounds?
- no answers huh? i suppose this will remain shrouded in mystery for me.sarahfailin

set - RE: your hip. Today my boss was telling us in a meeting about having something replaced four years ago as a metaphor for the experience we're all having on a project. It was a lunch meeting, and with a mouth full of chips, I totally missed what he said he had replaced when I was crunching the chips.
But I was certain I heard "hip." The next few sentences made total sense: he was talking about understanding the process, asking the right questions, etc. Then he goes "so when he went in there to clean all the mold out.."
I almost spit my food out and said WAIT WHAT????
He said "roof." I heard "hip." LOL

Have a Sri Lankan buddy from way back, from our days living in Namibia and Finland as roommates.
Was going to meet him in Sri Lanka at Sri Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Buddha) in his home town of Kandy, not because I'm religious, just because it would be fucking cool.
However, the air fare is something fierce to get to Colombo and back and the trek inland (who the hell knows) might take longer than wanted. Oh well...

Me and my gf really love being in the nature on weekends. We're heading to different places every weekend lately.
Well my gf got a fukin tick on her.. the bastard bite her, i had to remove it. Yesterday she asked me to scratch her back and i did vigourously over her clothes... we didnt know it was a tick until this evening.
Now we're super nervous because those things can gives you Lyme disease...
Not fun Nature! Not fun!
- And those are kinda new where I live. Climate change...Bennn
- yikesinteliboy
- also she can spread borellia via vaginal fluids.********
- She heading to see her Doc tomorrow morning, he wants to give her antibiotics just in caseBennn
- You can't just remove its head, you have to remove its entire soul.mg33
- i hate insectsBennn
- they've spread up to my hood too. Is she doing intravenous antibiotics?Gnash
- new normal is long pants tucked into socks.Gnash
- seeing her doc tomorrow, dont know yet but dont think soBennn
- yeah we will be very carefull from now on! I had one in my pants last week, it didnt bite me.Bennn
- Theres more and more every year over here... because climate change and deers population, i've read.Bennn
- nature!Bennn
- I got them all over me when I was a kid, from playing with a stray dog in a drainage culvert with a friend.mg33
- I can remember my dad picking them out of my hair in the sink. We also had them bad at summer camp. "Tick Check" was fun: balls, butts, and backs.mg33
- lol, mg. It's only been the past 5 years here in ontario. just in the south, at first. Now moving north.Gnash
- Lyme Disease. get her checked asap!********
- Every summer in Sweden there is info in the papers and news telling people to be careful and get a shot. Fuckers are everywhere, esp. long grass and ferns.face_melter
- the drugs they give you to treat lyme disease are as bad as the disease, both of my parents had it, unpleasant stuff********
- early in the season?yurimon
- as soon as temperature get to 4Celcius, they're there.Bennn
- was it specificly a tick that carries lime. they are specific tick types that do it. most ive seen in this situation is in the US is that doc give anit bioticsyurimon
- as a preventive measure. but ticks dont usually bite right away there is a time frame from which a tick get on you to when it bites.yurimon
- @face -- what shot are you talking about? is there a vaccine?Gnash
- there's no shot for Lyme.Bennn
- You're going to have to throw her away.garbage
- Hope all goes well Bennn, bit far away to help out (unless your in London!)mugwart
- thanks mugwartBennn
- they do antibiotics as preventive measure if its a lyme time tick. maybe go to a doctor in the states that specializes.yurimon
- @Gnash - we have tick-borne encephalitis in Sweden, which can cause meningitis.face_melter
- ah, i see, faceGnash
- In all seriousness, Lyme disease is incredibly rare. Grew up in the south and spent plenty of time in the woods, was bitten by ticks several times.garbage
- It's pretty much the #1 "I googled the vague symptoms" hypochondriac disease.garbage
- When your barely middle aged and suddenly become arthritic and can't recall what you ate for breakfast there isn't much to ponder********
- lyme disease isn't rare in regions where it's rampant.Gnash

Tick update bulletin
So, my gf met her Doc this morning. She have to take antibiotics for 21 days. The Doc didn't manage to take out the ''dart'' that it still stuck in her skin... Now she's at another hospital for blood test and to gives the tick that we kept in a Ziploc, they'll analyse it. She have to return to the Doc Monday and he will slit her skin to take out the piece that it still stuck in there.
So fun! All this for a super tiny insect!
- Yeah I hate these assholes.nb

- Did they consider chopping her arm off with an axe? I heard somewhere that you need to treat tick bits like zombie bites.mg33

i have been bit by so many ticks and never went to the doctor for them. ...of course they were never deer ticks (which are the ones that carry lyme disease). was the one that bit your gf a deer tick? not trying to be insensitive at all, but is it really that serious?
i've pulled a tick off my own dick before. i was fine.
- chicks with dicks?********
- You know you're in trouble if the bite gets a concentric white and red mark around it, otherwise whatever, parasites gonna parasite********
