    Hi, Mike! Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

    I love classic ansi and ascii art. Thanks for posting it.


    Thanks for letting me know.

    I hadn't posted Hallowe'en greetings recently, although I used to do
    it every year. I'm not quite sure why now. But I still have a few things like
    that on file which I ran across in ASCII_ART & various other echoes.

    Seems to me it's been awhile since you & I chatted as well. Glad to
    hear from you again. How are you? :-)

    Hi, Jimmy! Awhile ago you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

    Nice! Shared on Facebook too. :-)


    Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I don't know who created it, but I see what may be the artist's initials at the bottom.

    Now... I recognize your name from somewhere. You posted in FIDONEWS recently. I think there's more to it than that, however. Have you posted in SURVIVOR before? Welcome &/or welcome back, as the case may be... [chuckle].



    ... Adam to Eve-> 'I'll wear the plants in this family'.


    While I don't usually comment on taglines, I enjoyed that one. :-))

    Hi, Daryl! Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:

    Hope you and yours had a good Christmas.


    Christmas 2014 was a fairly quiet one, but IMHO we all needed that. Once upon a time our daughter would grumble about being cooped up in the house if Dallas & I hadn't arranged an outing. In those days we went to every party organized by some local charity or whatever. With the SARS epidemic many such gatherings were discontinued. However, she's a bit older now as well.... :-)



    It has been busy for me, medical wise.


    Never a dull moment, eh? I seem to recall that another person said,
    many years ago, "Can't I have a few dull moments... please??" ;-)



    I had a double ended (front and back) procedure just before
    Christmas. They did a cystoscopy up through the penis and
    urethra to look into the bladder, and took an image of the
    prostate through the rectum. Naturally, I was asleep for both. :)

    I'm a prime candidate for this new prostate relief procedure
    called Urolift


    I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for the info.... :-)



    ...and I never thought I'd be so excited about a surgical
    procedure.


    It certainly does sound preferable to the alternatives.



    Enlarged prostate issues are part of males growing old


    So I gather. In most cases they're probably not a serious cause for
    concern... apart from the inability to pee, which can be life-threatening. ;-)



    I have a follow-up with the urologist in late January, but
    the procedure likely won't be done until February. But, from
    what I've read, this is an excellent option


    I see you've done your homework. I like that.... :-)



    and will likely mean I can stop taking Flomax (Tamulosin).


    Yes, I've heard of Flomax. As a rule of thumb I consider surgery to
    be a last resort. But if it means one doesn't have to count on pharmaceuticals
    ad infinitum I'm interested... and I'd do a similar risk/benefit analysis. :-)

    Hi, Daryl! Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:

    Ardith,

    Never a dull moment, eh? I seem to recall that another person said,
    many years ago, "Can't I have a few dull moments... please??" ;-)

    With the surgeries last year (kidney stone and prostate), I had a lot
    of medical expenses. But, thankfully, I was ble to get the majority of
    both written off. The expenses I did have allowed me to keep the same
    rent this year as I had last year.

    I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for the info.... :-)

    I really liked it...but as per an earlier message, it had to get
    "undone".

    So I gather. In most cases they're probably not a serious cause for AH>concern... apart from the inability to pee, which can be life-threatening.

    BPH (enlarged prostate) normally does not lead to prostate
    cancer...although that cancer is one of the greatest killers of males.

    I see you've done your homework. I like that.... :-)

    You have to be proactive on your health.

    Yes, I've heard of Flomax. As a rule of thumb I consider surgery to
    be a last resort. But if it means one doesn't have to count on pharmaceutic AH>ad infinitum I'm interested... and I'd do a similar risk/benefit analysis.

    I still take it...and since I started producing kidney stones again
    after a 4 1/2 year hiatus, will probably do so for awhile.

    Ardith,

    Santa didn't stop here. He was going to "save the best for last" (my
    house). However, I sent him a card with the words "Define Naughty". <G>

    Apparently, he had "heard I'd been good"...but then saw that card, and
    he died laughing. <G>

    I have had one health present...with eating only 1 meal a day for the
    last several weeks, I've lost nearly 50 pounds. The next thing to lose
    is my pants, if I don't put more holes in the belt. It'll either give
    folks a cheap thrill, or a heart attack. <G>

    I've got another sebacious cyst on my back, but it has to wait until
    after the first of the year to get "broken" and "drained". I also had to
    start the Low-T treatments (those numbing deals in the hip/buttocks area
    burn like the dickens). But, left untreated, Low-T can lead to a whole
    host of other male problems (and I have more than enough issues
    already, thank you). I get follow-up blood work 1 month after the
    treatment, then get another implant 3 months after the blood work.

    They alternate hips/butt cheeks for each one...but the left one had a
    rather large benign cyst removed from it a few years back. So, they may
    have to "find a different place".

    That cyst was so deep (thankfully, it was benign), that it had to heal
    from the inside out (all my cysts have been that way), and I had to have
    2 months of home health care. My mother-in-law quipped that "you get to
    show your butt, and have it rubbed"...to which I said "nudity means
    nothing to them"...although a friend of mine will NOT go to the doctor,
    as "he doesn't want them to see him naked". I couldn't convince him that
    "it's not anything they haven't seen before".

    Besides, if you're female in labor, you have to forget all modesty.
    I've yet to hear of a boy coming out in a nice tuxedo, or a girl in a
    satin white dress. :P

    Hmm. At least he made it to our place first... [chuckle].



    I have had one health present...with eating only 1 meal a
    day for the last several weeks, I've lost nearly 50 pounds.


    Glad to hear that's working for you. It didn't work for a guy we knew years ago... but then he'd eat three meals' worth of food at dinner. :-Q

    naked". I couldn't convince him that "it's not anything
    they haven't seen before".


    I agree with you. My grandmother used to worry that the hospital staff would make fun of her underwear (or something) if she got involved in an accident when she was away from home & hadn't "dressed up". However, it seems the majority of accidents occur at home... and I reckon the doctors & nurses I know are focusing on their work. When I went to the emergency ward at 3:00 AM wearing a tired old bathrobe I got a strange look from the first person I met. But I was hemorrhaging, and she didn't offer to help me do the laundry. Blood stains can be difficult to remove, as anybody who's watched CSI knows.... :-)



    Besides, if you're female in labor, you have to forget
    all modesty. I've yet to hear of a boy coming out in a
    nice tuxedo, or a girl in a satin white dress. :P


    AFAIK babies don't care who sees them au naturel, and a woman who is about to give birth has other priorities too... [grin].

    I've seen girls at the oncology clinic wearing party dresses with frills which I suspect took quite a lot of ironing. But I imagine they did it for the same reason the boys wore baseball caps backwards. Some folks seem to be out of their depth when they're not sure what gender a person is, and a kid with no hair may feel... or their parents may feel... a need to exaggerate the other signals commonly used to help put such individuals at ease. The mothers of these girls almost invariably panicked, however, when their daughters threw up. It often seemed to me that the dresses got more attention than the humans who were wearing them. Our daughter wore simple clothing which didn't require much upkeep & which could easily be replaced, at little or no cost to us, with hand-me-downs from a charity resale shop or from a friend with two older boys.

    That's one of many reasons I'd suggest people not wear their best clothes if they're expecting to undergo some medical/surgical procedure. I am also reminded here of an occasion when my mother was in hospital, and her room mate was clearly upset about something. My mother informed me that this woman ... who was scheduled for surgery the same day... had spent an hour putting on makeup & painting her nails, only to be told by a nurse that she would have to remove the lot. Then she complained to my mother, but didn't like the answer. Apparently my mother said something along the lines of "With all that stuff on how will the doctor know if you're turning blue?" Now you know where I get it from. My chances of being the most glamorous female in the morgue are slim to zilch... but my parents survived to a ripe old age & I learned from them. :-)

    Ardith,

    Hmm. At least he made it to our place first... [chuckle].

    LOL.

    Glad to hear that's working for you. It didn't work for a guy we
    knew years ago... but then he'd eat three meals' worth of food at
    dinner. :-Q

    Today, I had 2 of the small dinners with french fries and chicken nuggets...260 calories each...and drank some flavored water. I don't
    know if I'll microwave a TV dinner (beef pot roast, or turkey and the trimmings) or not. But, I hate to be a bad Sysop, and go to bed without
    supper. :P

    The thing is, I think they recommend a 2000 calorie a day diet...I'm
    lucky if I've had half of that the last several weeks. I normally don't
    eat breakfast, unless I'm up early for medical reasons, or to do a ham
    radio license exam session. My big meal a day is lunch, then I eat a
    light snack for dinner, if I'm so inclined. Otherwise, I drink flavored
    water, and can drink 2 liters of that in a day.

    wearing a tired old bathrobe I got a strange look from the first
    person I met. But I was hemorrhaging, and she didn't offer to help
    me do the laundry. Blood stains can be difficult to remove, as
    anybody who's watched CSI knows.... :-)

    My Mom hemorrhaged severely when both myself and my brother were born,
    21 months apart. We both were delivered by C-section...not vaginally.
    You are right...it takes a strong detergent to remove blood stains.

    I think about the cartoon where this young boy was involved in an
    accident, and he's peering out the Emergency Room Door..as the doctor
    tells his Mom "Your son has been in an accident...and I have to tell
    you..." (as she says to herself "Oh, no!!")...then, the doctor continues
    "He didn't have clean underwear on". Momma is screaming "NO!! NO!!
    WHY??!! WHY??!!" <G>.

    AFAIK babies don't care who sees them au naturel, and a woman who
    is about to give birth has other priorities too... [grin].

    That's for sure. Being a widower, I know "we're the same from the back
    side". <G>

    The mothers of these girls almost invariably panicked, however,
    when their daughters threw up. It often seemed to me that the
    dresses got more attention than the humans who were wearing them.

    That's one thing the little ones know how to do...barf/puke. :P That's
    my weak spot...sympathy sickness. If I hear/see/smell someone gagging or vomiting, I'll do likewise in short order.

    On another note, I remember one routine where the comedian noted "the
    boys wearing their pants on backwards...rebelling against everything".
    :P One time, I put a pair of long underwear on backwards, and didn't
    realize it. My first thought was "CRAP!! They've sewn the fly shut"!! I
    felt so stupid when I realized my error!! :P

    Our daughter wore simple clothing which didn't require much upkeep
    & which could easily be replaced, at little or no cost to us, with AH>hand-me-downs from a charity resale shop or from a friend with two
    older boys.

    I don't think my brother and I had "hand me downs". One couple of the
    family (related to my late father's late brother), never took a suitcase
    when they traveled. They had enough money (must be nice) that when the
    clothes for them and their kids got dirty, they just bought themselves
    new ones, and threw the old ones in the trash!! To me, that's a waste!!

    mother informed me that this woman... who was scheduled for surgery
    the same day... had spent an hour putting on makeup & painting her
    nails, only to be told by a nurse that she would have to remove the
    lot. Then she complained to my mother, but didn't like the answer.

    I would guess not.

    Apparently my mother said something along the lines of "With all that AH>stuff on how will the doctor know if you're turning blue?" Now
    you know where I get it from. My chances of being the most glamorous AH>female in the morgue are slim to zilch... but my parents survived
    to a ripe old age & I learned from them. :-)

    Good for you and your Mom!! That is too funny. :D

    I may have posted this awhile back, but it's worth repeating. One
    woman had dyed her pubic hair green (what in the world was she smoking
    or snorting??!!), and had a tattoo near her pubic area as a sign saying
    "Keep Off The Grass". Well, she had to be rushed in for an emergency appendectomy (it would've gone into peritonitis, had it burst), and they
    had to shave the area (bacteria LOVE to hide in any hair, anywhere). The
    nurse, with an offbeat sense of humor, wrote on the woman's chart
    "Sorry...had to mow the lawn!!" <BG>.

    A retired nurse I know on Facebook, said when she was in a clinic that
    did colonoscopies, that patients "paid her for permission to pass gas" afterwards. Well, after all that air is injected into the rectum and
    colon, you have to get rid of it.

    Too bad one can't use that in ones vehicle...or I'd buy a case of
    Bush's Baked Beans, get the secret formula from Duke (it'd be another
    one...the original dog passed away), and tell OPEC what they could do
    with the gas prices!! <BG>. Gas was low as $1.85 in Little Rock for
    regular gas, just before Christmas. It has since started climing again
    <sigh!>.

    Comedian Jeff Foxworthy noted after he had his colonoscopy (which he
    came through with no polyps, etc.), the following:

    "I went through career day in high school. No one told me that you
    could get paid good money for rating f@rts on a clipboard. I've got
    friends who do that all the time for free!!". He continues with "While
    she wants me to do this, and I need to this...I raised in the
    South...and my Momma taught me never to do that in front of a woman...especially in front of a woman you don't know".

    In short "he locks up"...so, the nurse has him "assume the
    position"...and he noted "What came out of me, was so loud, and so long,
    that Fred Flintstone clocked out of work!!". He then asked the nurse if
    he could go home, and she said "Please do!!" <BG>.

    Plus, the animals flatulate, and look at you like "what's your
    problem??!!". My late wife and I were otherwise "intimately occupied" on
    the Futon shortly after we got married...and our dachshund was in his
    bed next to it. All of a sudden, this horrid stench permeated our nostrils...the dog had dropped a methane bomb!!

    I was practically gagging, and my wife was laughing uncontrollably,
    adding "You know he's down there, going "Hee Hee Hee!! Ignore my @$$,
    will you??"!! I had to get dressed and take the weiner widget out for a
    walk. :P

    Ardith,

    I'm spending a quiet day at home. With recent weather changes, I've
    got sinus issues. I originally was going to make a big feast, but I
    think I'll just do some soup, take some medicine, and go back to bed
    for awhile. I'm the only one here today, anyway. Both parents are
    dead and gone, and my brother is by himself. He hates Christmas, as
    everything is shut down. He normally goes out to a restaurant every
    day to eat food, drink beer, and talk with his friends. On Christmas,
    except for Walgreens and some ethnic cuisine restaurants, everything
    else is closed.

    He apparently has no sense of humor. He turned 59 on Dec. 23, but
    I didn't bother to call him. A week before, I gave him what I thought
    was a funny birthday card, and he said "that was uncalled for". I told
    him "I was trying to make you smile", and wanted to tell him to "Get
    A Life!!".

    The card showed the backsides of a woman and a man, from the middle
    back to the middle thigh...with the butt cheeks and cracks in all
    their glory (I know we're the same from the back side). On the inside,
    it said "Thought you could expect some cracks about your age!!", and I
    added "Every booty wanted you to have a Happy Birthday -- Bun Appetit!!".
    None of us is getting any younger, and I don't mind stuff like that.

    I got klutzy in the bedroom a few nights ago...ending up falling,
    and skinning my elbow...but otherwise was unhurt. Folks say a large
    amount of accidents occur outside the home...that can be the same
    at home!!

    I'm still dealing with that epididymytis...and from what the urologist
    said, this may last awhile. I don't think surgery is an option, but it's annoying to say the least. At least there's no testicular cancer, or
    kidney stones.

    The blower on the central heat unit is failing (it's 13 years old),
    and it'll cost $900 to repair. But, I have the funds for it, and it'd
    be better than hypothermia (it gets chilly in here during the winter,
    if the heat is off). They'll do a full service on the system come spring.

    Hope you and yours are having a good Christmas.

    Daryl
