Silly question after having triplets.

:p

lol guys frontal lobe labotomy ftw!



Getting another salivary gland removed. I have about half of them still. I have an auto immune issue that doesnt have a name similar to sjogrens. Im fine but I pass salivary stones occasionally similar to gall stones though the hole in the salivary duct is a bit smaller.

Have a stone that is so big right now it cant pass. I named it mandingo. Its gonna come out tomorrow. If you kids are good I may post a picture of it after it comes out.

Go with the family then. Have a ball... on ice!

if I leave that stone in there they would have to keep me on ice :)

I did ask the surgeon if we could do it later in the day and she gave me the look....

How is it that all women have this power over me of shame by just looking at me like my mother ><

Yea - it sounds fine... until later in the email it reads:

For planning purposes, please bring enough work clothing to last one week. Sleeping, eating, and laundry arrangements will be provided. If you have any prescription medications, please make sure you have an adequate supply, as it is anticipated that we will be required to remain on site 24x7 for at least one week. Also, make sure you bring your PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, and work boots).

Good luck.

And genetics. Men don't get the stink eye gene.

overslept and was like an hour and a half late to work because my cat was sleeping on my chest and it was too comfy to get out of bed :\

and today's biggest dilemma is walking downstairs for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast or reheating my chicken and rice leftover from lunch yesterday.

I'd imagine the ice would do a number on them.

:D



My new dell was delivered 1/16.....sadly, it wasn't delivered to me.

so did you inadvertently invest in the education of some miscreant or did the delivery people forget what directions were?

and thx for earlier man I am not sweating it. Told the wife I want to have sex in recovery this time while im still on the meds

I'm the only miscreant here....:\. Maybe I got it and forgot.

Actually, it must be Fed ex with the miscreants. They say someone named P Perry signed for it. Called dell and they said it would be easier to ship me another one and let them fight it out with fed ex.


Pics of wife?

:p

this beef stew has pearl onions in it D:

it's such an unpleasant taste to chomp into a whole onion... idk why anyone would use pearl onions rather than just slicing up a couple bigger onions.
