The Totally Radical Thread for Crotchety Old Bitches

Willbyr — I don't even know. My ligaments are abnormally stretchy, so... I sneezed? Slept weird?

The very special thing about it is that one of the ribs is really close to my heart. So it's like, oh god I have chest pain and can't get a deep breath and... Oh, that one rib is out again. Cancel red alert.

Ooooow. Sorry to hear that. Have you seen anyone for it?

Yeah, but not recently enough — my chiropractor is on vacation. About 18 months ago, I had an EKG (the doctors in this town do not mess around with chest pain) and was diagnosed with/treated for costochondritis. The NSAI Ds helped a lot, and I've been following up with chiro, since.

On a related note, if you have pain in the right upper quadrant, it could be your liver or gallbladder, or it could just be another stupid rib. :P

Ok Joke time.

Why did they make the German Shepherd a security guard? Because he was a Watch Dog.

Why did the security guard not check his watch until after Sundown? Because he was a night watch man.

What do you call a bunch of jack-rabbits in a line taking a step backwards? A receding hare line

What do you call a rabbit wearing a kilt? Hop Scotch

Why did the calculator have trouble with creativity? It could only do things by the numbers.

Well, going to be looking into a job at a nearby Mc Donalds either tomorrow or Sun. When I passed there today I saw numerous "now hiring" signs up, including one out front next to the road. And it's within walking distance.

Hi guys. It was an extremely bad week, but I'm back now.

I am now completely unemployed, but at least I am eligible for unemployment benefits so now I can look for a job without complete desperation.

In the meantime I am rehearsing, doing my voice/movement warmups every day, writing, and unpacking.

-offers tea- Welcome back lerad glad to hear you are at least in one piece.

Welcome back, duck. But, never feel you have to leave when things go tits up. It's been shown in a number of papers that sharing worries doesn't spread depression to other people.

It's not a transmissible disease. *hugs*

Indeed, depression tends to do terribly when in aerosol form and has a ridiculously short latency period outside a host.

Sorry, virology joke. Anyways, good to hear you're doing somewhat ok Lera.

You know you've got a snoring problem when people can hear you from the next campsite.

I feel like I should print out a sleep apnea fact sheet or something. That ain't right. O_o

Oooph. >_< My dad denied his for years (and two heart attacks). He forced me to flee the scene a few times just to get some sleep.

Only now is he taking steps to fix it. Says he feels wonderful lately. Gosh: I wonder why?

My dad snored like a bear for most of my life....and then he stopped drinking. Now he's happy, healthy and most of all quiet.

heheh but if he ever starts drinking again we'd know pretty quick.

Trying VEEEEERY hard not to spend money I don't have yet. But this job pays so well that in a few months, I'll have enough to put away a decent sum for savings, and I can take a separate improvisation or dance course.

Or travel, like all my friends seem to be doing.

Figuring that this is the best place.

Have folks here gardens with hedgehogs?

Have had. Why?

I've had an interesting notion today. After reading a very ignorant article online that accused Marty Friedman (former guitarist for Megadeth) of racism for saying he doesn't care for the music of Jimi Hendrix, I've realized - racism has become a sort of modern day Mc Carthyism. Much like how in the 50's people would often throw the accusations of communist around on rather flimsy grounds and see communism where it wasn't, people are doing the same with racist/racism claims. Now racism is still indeed a problem and very much exists, but people are seeing it where it's not, out of what I assume to be an unholy mix of fervor and paranoia.

^^Our garden has been visited by a hedgehog today. A small specimen that was eating our grapes. I did get close enough to take photos.

Stocking up on free sugar to try some bulking, by the sound of it. It's getting late: in about four weeks, it's curl-up time. If too small, that one will face problems. :/

Kudos for not disturbing it. Since you now know it's around, you could try helping out by leaving dog food in strategic spots...

Unfortunately, we don't have any dog food here. Also, it does not appear to be a timid specimen at all.

I have a tale of one hedgehog, three medium-sized dogs, one bowl of water and one curbstomp.

The hedgie got to hog the water, bitches! (With a lot of very raspy growling and some very confused canine body language.)

Oh, and it didn't even bother to curl up, either. Very low opinion of dogs, that one!

I got to hold a hedgehog last night...it was like a bundle of really sharp toothpicks with a cute twitchy nose.

That description just made my day, Willbyr! Hedgehogs are very cute.

One of my buddies back in the Army once bought a hedgehog for some reason. He ended up selling it to a girl in the battery after a couple months.

Euo: Lol. Sounds hilarious.

Bowser pounced forward to get a nose full of hedgehog prickles, as well as the most condescending, backwards glance as if the long-suffering hog was saying, "Really, dude? Seriously? You dove at my back voluntarily with one of your more vulnerable bits?! Just how thick are you?" It suited a cat, that look did.
