I only ask because I’m always pushing my wife to celebrate the real holidays.

We celebrated Hot Fudge Sundae Day this year:

Did you do this for Lemon Meringue Pie day?

Yeah that sucks.

I happen to live near a larger city, and there are a multitude of healthcare options around. Two large university health systems and multiple smaller health systems and independent hospitals all competing in the area. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a doctor here. However, I don’t recommend that. You’ll just piss off the doctor and reduce your options by one.

Assuming you don’t have some particular condition that requires a different prep, I’d wonder if your doctor just isn’t keeping up with the latest medications.

I’ll say that the prep was anticlimactic when I had my colonoscopy. Biggest problem was it didn’t kick in when it was supposed to. I ended up staying up much later than planned and calling the emergency line because I was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen.

Then it did. Not anywhere close to as bad as people had suggested. I do have a bidet, which certainly helped, but I’ve had a lot worse experiences from eating at the cafeteria at work.

According to my wife who had to have a colonoscopy in her 30s, it was a lot worse then. She said the prep for the most recent one was nothing.

So, don’t sweat the prep.

I have gotten texts from our Cybersecurity warning me not to open links in texts…and they include a link to a web page for more information.

Ah. I looked at the second picture in the article.

Torso is too short.

I’d still be willing to piss on it.

Edit: Looking at it again, I still think the creepiest part about it is it looks like Charlie Kirk.

It’s a decent likeness, but somehow not quite creepy enough.

I wouldn’t pay money or travel to see it, but if I happened to walk by it and I was sure of not catching a charge, I’d probably be willing to stop and piss on it.

My immune system pisses me off constantly.

It let COVID through three times despite me rigorously keeping up to date with the vaccines as much as possible, and at the same time it has destroyed my thyroid gland and it has declared cherries and peaches as terrorist infiltrators.

I feel like if my immune system is so bored it needs to attack harmless things, I should never have to deal with any actually harmful thing.

It’s like a cop that beats up an unarmed teenager, but hides when someone is shooting up a school.

Yeah, the immune system can be moronic. Intelligent design my ass.

However, there’s something extra special about getting poked in one eye and having your own immune system decide that an eye for an eye means your good eye has to die.

Absolutely unfun semi-related fact:

Sometimes when one eye is injured, the injured eye has to be removed or your body will decide the uninjured eye is bad and your immune system will destroy it.

Sympathetic Ophthalmia

If the injured eye has no chance of recovery, they scoop it out.

Right in choice of target, perhaps?

That’s what I assumed they meant, but I’m not sure.

You could ask them.

How did they say he did?

According to this article,

The return of screwworm comes after the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, launched by the Trump administration, last year cut funding for a project dedicated to monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America.

The funding was axed days before the U.S. ended a temporary suspension of cattle imports from Mexico, meaning livestock was allowed to cross the border without any of the monitoring previously funded by the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID).

Had?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The only job that I am 100% certain could be successfully offloaded onto an AI is CEO.

Worse. He thinks he’s the equivalent to Samuel L. Jackson!

The best Steven Seagal movie I’ve ever seen, really the only good one, was Executive Decision.

Like other Steven Seagal movies, you see he’s in it, and you groan and think, “this is going to suck.” Then 20 minutes into the movie he’s killed off, and you can relax and enjoy the rest.

It makes it easier for them to identify future candidates for public office.
