No, but it does have a much nicer looking collar.

Liver biopsy yesterday. They clipped a couple of nerves and it hurts

You allow them to cut your liver, but won't allow the doctors to stick a
tube up your ass. The ass-scope would hurt much less. ;)

Actually, I was surprized at how easy and simple the whole procedure
was. In and out in nothing flat. Little slit, little CO2, snip, sewn
up and a short time recovering.

Pretty cool. Problem came later as the local wore off - move this way
or that way and I felt like I was being stabbed with a red hot poker.

But I feel MUCH bettererer this morning.

It sounds worse than it is actually.

Because of two of the more exotic meds that I take for my RA, it
requires one after six years of treatment if they notice something or
other on a sonar exam. They did so that was that.

Another thing I saw that was really cool was the new color HD sonar -
er...sonagram machines. It's like taking a freakin' picture of your
guts.

I don't honestly know, but it must have been a bunch. All digital too
- the scans went onto a DVD in HD. The video format was, get this,
AVI. I'm giving some thought to posting the scan, but the file is
huge. :)

I was told that it's an HP computer with some kind of ganged Dual Core
Intel processor and custom software. Very impressive in any case.

And thanks - nothing serious.

Looks like Idaho has these parades too.

Nope, wrong state.
Maybe. I been skeptical of Idahoans since that one in Portland, OR
tried to enlist me in an Alaskan platinum heist.
He was a cross-eyed stump blaster, and almost as scary as the lesbian
pro wrestler who got in my face in Norfolk because her girlfriend was
making eyes at me. Said she was going to kick my ass.
Anyway, I avoided mishap in both cases, and I'm going to avoid these
parades too.

I don't blame you!

What happened with the lesbian's girlfriend? Did you leave her too?

Vic,
If you were creative you would have talked them into a 3 some.

I took the family and out of town friends down to the Atlanta Aquarium

reef fish. One screen had a Win error message on the screen. I should

No I don't, but you can call the Georgia Aquarium at 404-581-4000, they
will probably be able to tell you what OS they use also. It was at the
entrance to the Ocean Reef display at about 1:30 pm.

John, here's another eye witness to the same phenomenon;

a Protestant pastor "writhing and dieing on a cross" in a Christmas
parade in Central FL. Either Harry and this nice little old Episcopal
lady are in a conspiracy- or he really saw what he claims to have
seen.


http://1episcopalvoice.blogspot.com/...ntroversy.html

And the fact that there was a lot of negatives and controversy of this one
case, tells me the JC on a Cross can not be a very common or even a rare
event at a Christmas parade. Especially since was the wrong time of year
for the crucifixion.

That's three times for the episcopal in central florida.

Doesn't count.

Let me see if I understand this: The way Christmas is observed in this
country is in no way related to religion. It's all theatre and
commercialism. Millions of people never set foot in a church except for
weddings & funerals, and yet they "celebrate" by hanging lights and spending
money because they're being told to. Or, they're afraid their kids will feel
left out if they find out what their friends got as gifts.

And you're focused on ONE strange observance of the holiday, a parade in
Florida? Are you drunk again?

this one
case, tells me the JC on a Cross can not be a very common or even a
rare
event at a Christmas parade. Especially since was the wrong time

for the crucifixion.

That's three times for the episcopal in central florida.

Doesn't count.

Let me see if I understand this: The way Christmas is observed in
this country is in no way related to religion. It's all theatre and
commercialism. Millions of people never set foot in a church except
for weddings & funerals, and yet they "celebrate" by hanging lights
and spending money because they're being told to. Or, they're afraid
their kids will feel left out if they find out what their friends got
as gifts.

And you're focused on ONE strange observance of the holiday, a parade
in Florida? Are you drunk again?
Do you celebrate Christmas?

Interesting question. Why do you ask?
Just answer the question.


Tell me why you're asking, and I'll answer the question. Make sure it's
the real reason, or your fun's over.

do you always answer a question with a question?


Sometimes. Adults don't have a problem with that.

John, here's another eye witness to the same phenomenon;

a Protestant pastor "writhing and dieing on a cross" in a Christmas
parade in Central FL. Either Harry and this nice little old
Episcopal
lady are in a conspiracy- or he really saw what he claims to have
seen.

Loose bowels? :)

Liver biopsy yesterday. They clipped a couple of nerves and it hurts
like hell.

You allow them to cut your liver, but won't allow the doctors to stick a
tube up your ass. The ass-scope would hurt much less. ;)

Actually, I was surprized at how easy and simple the whole procedure
was. In and out in nothing flat. Little slit, little CO2, snip, sewn
up and a short time recovering.

Pretty cool. Problem came later as the local wore off - move this way
or that way and I felt like I was being stabbed with a red hot poker.

But I feel MUCH bettererer this morning.

Quit thinking up excuses and get a colonoscopy.

I took the family and out of town friends down to the Atlanta

screen of some reef fish. One screen had a Win error message on the
screen. I should have taken a photo.


Got proof?

No I don't, but you can call the Georgia Aquarium at 404-581-4000, they
will probably be able to tell you what OS they use also. It was at the
entrance to the Ocean Reef display at about 1:30 pm.




I'm not that interested in you, Atlanta, or the aquarium, since you're
just another of the anonymous a**holes who plague this newsgroup.

Harry, why did you ask him about proof, and then come back with this
garbage after he was kind enough to give you the information to answer your
request?
