I have turf toe in my thumb. True story. Turf toe is basically (as far as I can tell) and inflammation of the sesamoid bone(s) in the toe. You have them in your thumb, too. And mine are causing so many problems my hand doc recommended removing them. /tk

Anybody who is bored enough to follow me on Twitter/FB knows that I just got back from 2 weeks in French Guiana today. How the heck is it that on my 2 days of travel I seem to have gotten more mosquito bites (or at least, my bites are itching a TON more) than in the 2 weeks I was down there?
Also, I missed eating fruits and vegetables while I was down there. And after seeing a cockroach in my room on the 2nd night in our "new" hotel (we spent the first few days--almost a week?) in a different hotel, I slept with the lights on under the assumption that the cockroach wouldn't want to come into the well-lit area. Didn't see any other cockroaches in my room. Ignorance is bliss. /tk

Uber dola,
The Peugeot 206+ I was driving down there was a cute little car but amazingly under-powered and had a horrible turning radius for such a small car. My Mazda 3 has a tighter turning radius. That said, I wonder what driving my zippy, automatic-shift 3 is going to be like tomorrow after 2 weeks of driving a sluggish manual. /tk

Working from home the past couple days and I haven't showered. Got a whiff of myself and not sure if I should be disgusted or impressed.

I finished putting drywall up on my garage ceiling today. Holy crap... even when cut into 3 ft X 4 ft they are heavy as hell when holding above your head on a ladder (with one hand while the other grabs the nail gun.)
Since buying this condo I have put in a completely new PEX plumbing system, put down new mortar subfloors, tiled the laundry room & main floor bath, laminate flooring in the kitchen, completely new cabinets in the kitchen, ran a gas line for the stove, formica countertops, and a bunch of other things (including a lot of wallboard) And I did it all by myself. The only thing I didn't do is the carpet. |

The drywall ceiling lift costs about $30/day to rent. I didn't realize there was any other way than to hold it over your head

Completely worth it. Always sweet to hold it up, then drop your drywall screw on the floor and have to start over. |

They are also pretty cheap to buy if you do it a lot.

One of my best (worst?) memories of the East coast blizzard in February 2010 was working from home the entire week. I'd wake up early, make some coffee, log in and start working. I convinced my wife it made no sense for me to shower, since later on, I'd be going out to shovel. Then after shoveling, I'd go back to work...this played out a few days in a row. I think I showered twice between Monday morning and Friday night that week.

I'm staying home sick today (I was shivering last night. 93 degrees out and I was full-body shivering), and even I showered.

I've been having headaches. One of the PAs at my primary's office sent me for an MRI, and then either she or the radiologist at the imaging center diagnosed me with a certain malformation of the brain.
Went to see a neurologist yesterday. Good news is that she says I was misdiagnosed, and am really just dealing with some pretty bad tension headaches. So now I feel like a freaking walking pharmacy with all the meds she has me taking (plus two to only take if I need them.. but thus I have to carry them since I never know when/if I'll need them). I get to go to physical therapy. And then the most fun.. get to have some injections into my neck and then have them poke needles in me to try to get things to loosen up. Can't wait! *shudder* |

Backing your wifes company car into a pole is not the best way to begin the morning.

Yeah, sorry for making fun, Laths. I know how much that sort of thing can suck. Hopefully it looks worse than the cost will be.

So I'm sitting on the toilet last night and for some reason Midnight Oils Forgotten Years was stuck in my head and I realize I don't really know what Tetanus is. Like, what does it do to you if you get it. I have no earthly idea.

Well, to get technical, it's a bacteria that lives in anaerobic places (like underground). It creates a toxin that can make people sick--you've heard of lockjaw? That's the result of tetanus poisoning. Normally it's not a worry. If it gets into an anaerobic place in your body, most likely deep inside a puncture wound, it can start growing there and make you sick. It has nothing to do with rusty things, despite what most people think. But if something is unearthed from under ground, and is pointy (like an old rusty nail) that's a great delivery mechanism. It's not super common, but old farms are a likely place to find it I think because it is in transmitted in the animal feces? But so if you step on an old nail at an old farm site that was underground, that's when you need to worry about it. Also if you're in a trench in World War I. |

That was so much better than Wiki.
So on a whim I decide to google Debbe Dunning to relive some memories, and the watermark on one of the pictures reads "E's Sexy Swimsuits 97". 97, that's almost 16 years ago. I can't wrap my head around that. Almost half my life ago. |

I had a similar moment the other day. Lady H_B and I fired up an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation to watch while having dinner (the two-parter where Picard is tortured by the Cardassian and Ronny Cox takes over the Enterprise and is shown to be the only competent person in Starfleet, with the rank of Captain or higher, not named Jean-Luc Picard. Seriously, every other captain or admiral is pretty much an incompetent boob or a raving lunatic) and realized that the first ST:NG episode aired 25 years ago.
One quarter of a centry old...

Sussudio is a ridiculous song. Listen to the backing production. It's like some sort of bass keytar jamming with dysfunctional horns and a fuckload of high end treble piped in. I can only imagine that they threatened Phil's family in order to get him to record a vocal. Like I don't think you could play the song on a piano.
Anyways Phil's hits album is .99 today on amazon. |

I am buying a brand new comforter and some white sheets to go with it. Do I need to have the comforter washed or dry cleaned before I put it on. Guess I'm worried about buying some nice sheets and having the new comforter stain the hell out of it. Anyone help on this?

He blew his top in the Obama thread and said a number of unsavory things about Marc.

Well that was some fever. Between 5:30 when I woke up first and 9:30 when I actually got up, I sweated through everything. Literally. My pajama-shorts felt like they had just come out of the wash. Soaked my sheets and everything. My hands were actually wrinkley (like when you were a kid and you were in the bath too long) from all the sweating.
Between yesterday when I was sick and this morning (just now) when I weighed myself, I lost 3lbs. That's a lot of sweat. Last edited by DaddyTorgo : 07-19-2012 at 08:56 AM. |

Will Ferrell is funnier giving DP an interview than he is in any of his movies.

I went back to find it, and once I read it, I was surprised it was still able to be read.

Does anyone know when there will be a new football sim?
I suspect Jim has given up on making football sims and I have seen nothing that has interested me (i.e. vaporware).

As I was sitting and actually counting individual cheese-its so I could know how many calories I was consuming, I was wondering how the hell it's possible to be teenage and obese. I used to be able to throw down a box of these things like nothing after dinner back in the day and I was thin as a rail.

I sometimes do 4-hour trainings for police officers, just book stuff - no target shooting, no jumping over shit, no swimming, no tactical stuff. Some cops are egg-head types who love the law and the desk stuff but I think for a lot of them it's torture.
