    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...

    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!

    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
