Normal Goings-on

[Vyn]

IKEA - have never owned anything from IKEA. I tend to go for the cheap imitation stuff that promotes their wobbly legs as a feature, not a problem.

Oh, just ran across this quote I have to share. I love AC/DC, but tend to mock their decades-long "sameness". I've read and heard both Malcolm and Angus mention how they've released "the same record" over and over. But I had never come across this quote before, and I think it's awesome. From an interview with Malcolm Young, regarding his band's lack of musical "growth":

"most bands when they progress, progress right up their own asses".

Solid wisdom!

Had to go to hospital because I was throwing up blood and I feel terrible.
Been sick for the last 2 days and I am still vomiting 🤢

Thel, get better! I hope the doctors can assess your condition properly.

Oh darn! Sorry to hear that again Thel!

Hope you'll feel better soon...and that finally you'd get some answers too.

[Thelemech]

Thanks 😊

I am going to talk to my doctor in about 10 minutes from now.

Hopefully he will get to the bottom of my problem.

[Vyn]

I certainly hope they can get you fixed up with a proper diagnosis and speedy treatment - man that sucks!

[Jack the Stripper]

Hope things can be figured out and mended Thel. Is this the second time you’ve gone through something like this?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Best wishes for a swift recovery Thel

[Thelemech]

Thanks again and this is the third time this has happened to me
 Still feel terrible but no blood anymore so I think that I am on the mend. What a fuckin pain in the ass!

What did the doctor say? Any info on the cause?

Glad to hear you're doing better buddy!

[Zzzptm]

Not knowing what it is can be the worst of it, because the mind has to be kept from wandering into the darker corners of possibility.

...the mind has to be kept from wandering into the darker corners of possibility.

The internet is such a massive enabler of that process. Oh, my toe hurts, let's look it up online. Eventually you become convinced you have some rare parasite growing in you and the pain in your toe stems from the little worm-like bugs starting to chow down.

[Zzzptm]

Yep. Although costly, those extra tests the doctor orders up are great for being able to really rule out/in possible conditions.

[Thelemech]

The only thing that seemed to be the cause is Marijuana toxicity- something that I have heard before.
I personally don't think that was the case but I am no doctor.

Still feel very uncomfortable but I feel much better now.

Oh sounds bad...maybe try leaving it out for a few weeks and see what happens. Might help right away...
