You can lose that with a woman, too.

Oh, just try it. What's there to lose?

Ice (15 minutes on, 15 minutes off), elevate, and the compression glove is a good idea. Oh, and rest (no :fap:) Please keep in mind that a fracture can only be ruled out by xray, and that advice on an anonymous cartoon message board is in no way equivalent to assessment and treatment by a live health care professional. And please, please say that you filled out paperwork in case this turns into one of those unpleasant workman's comp things.

Oh. yeah - anytime you move. I broke my tailbone once; it's amazing how many things are attached to one's ass.

Plum is really good - my mom used to make it. My current favorite is peach jam - my sister makes a no sugar added peach that is amazing.

That is high, but one reading does not hypertension make. You probably need to call your PCP, let them know what happened (including the second pressure) and see if they want to maybe have you monitor and record it (Most drugstore chains have a BP machine, and even cute little cards to record your pressures on.) or come in a few times and have it checked (in our office, that's a nurse visit, not an office call, so it's free.)

Everything above the neck I hate - headache, ear ache, toothache - but anything between the neck and feet is fine.

It's kind of rewarding, because the only time I ache is when I've gotten something accomplished, like a lot of yard work or moving furniture. It's sort of like a "well done" thing. Edit: but not my feet. When my feet ache, it's usually just another bullshit day at work.

Abracadabra! You're a pizza!

I think I remember you, and I'm not cringing as I do it, so welcome (back)?

It's sad that he's gone, but 96 years is a pretty good run, especially when you've spent so many of them making people laugh.

Oh, yeah. Him.

Congratulations on making it through the maze without being devoured by the hideous bandersnatch. But who gave you the secret password?

You need benzos, my friend. Not nearly so hard on the liver.

Ow. Ow ow. Ow ow ow ow ow. (Crosses legs and cringes.)

I don't think it does anything for women. Try not drinking before you go to bed.

Or male menopause.

Cause you like your kidneys?

Saw palmetto is supposed to be good for that, but this product has not been evaluated by the FDA, and is not intended to treat or diagnose any illness.

Definitely with the veggies, sometimes toss the packet and make miso broth instead, put the noodles in that. Hot sauce most of the time, Bulldog with the miso.

Spooks of the Valley, by Louis C Jones, and The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster. Spooks is a collection of ghost stories from the Hudson Valley, with a modern day story wrapped around them, and The Phantom Tollbooth is about a bored child named Milo and his adventures in the Lands Beyond. Yeah, they're both kids' books - I read them the first time when I was about 9 - but when I'm feeling overwhelmed, books that I read in simpler times are very soothing.

Captain Underpants has been getting banned since the first book came out. (I've been checking the ALA list every year since 2004 for our annual book ban.)

Oh, that's fine. You should be able to hose it off then, no problem.

Hey, I'm a professional; I only clean other people's shit when I'm on the clock.

That's lovely; just make sure that it's machine washable and can go in the dryer.
