  1. I have been traveling Europe and off chemo for 6 weeks now, my first break in 16 months. You don't realize how fucked you feel everyday on that stuff. I come home this coming weekend and have a scan a week from Monday to see how the y90 in my liver worked out. Colon mass set to be ripped out on the 22nd, hopefully reversing the colonostomy at that time too. Doc's goal is a chemo break of 6-12 months.

  2. One of my chemo drugs gave me horrible face acne, like hundreds of pimples all over my face, head, chest and upper back. They lowered the dose and it would just flare up in the t-zone for a few days every cycle. Shit was even INSIDE my nostrils (I read a woman saying she had them inside her eyelids, so I consider myself getting off lucky). That and chemo gives you all kinds of skin issues in general. I imagine it's something similar.

    no, LOST actually explained the polar bear and didn't make people ask "wtf with the polar bear?" after the finale

    Yeah, this is one of those complaints that I see often and roll my eyes because it was pretty well explained by s3.

    When it comes to cheap food products, I suspect the customer will tolerate "dynamic pricing" downward (e.g., happy hour) much, much more than they will tolerate it upward (order at lunchtime, pay an extra $3!)

    That reminds me, though....the campus egg roll carts had "dynamic pricing" before it was cool.  If I had a class that ended around 4:00, I'd walk by one of the carts on the way home and ask "what do you have left, and how much for all of it?"  I often got something like 2 orders of indian bread, 4 eggrolls, and whatever hell else they had for $5 or so.  I could even haggle. "That doesn't sound that great.  I'll give you $3 for it all."

    Yes, although I suspect that the standard menu price will still raise some, but the discount will be less than current price. 

  6. Dynamic pricing, aka happy hour, has been a staple in restaurants for as long as I have been alive. What's the resistance with the application to fast food? I suspect in 10 years this will be the standard model.

    That statement, Rust's father, the Tuttle relationship, and the symbology were all connections to S1 that went unaddressed. Felt insulting to the viewership to bring those items up and not follow through. 
     

    Maybe I missed it while watching female janitor after female janitor walk into the room like it was a clown car during the ending exposition, but how did the janitors know Anna K was murdered by the researchers? 

    Because the only star shaped screwdriver in the state was found in the hidden lab.

  8. Radiology suggests injecting a pellet into my liver to hopefully kill the two large (golf ball+ size) lesions on the left lobe. There are some 1 cm lesions on the other lobe though so it's unclear how those will be handled. Would have to be paired with colon tumor resection (11cm!). Meeting with the surgeon on Monday and liver specialist Wednesday, so we'll see what their thoughts are.

    Spent the days before my latest scan filled with dread, convinced my luck had run out and I'd be full of goblins. But then I decided, "Fuck cancer, I'm gonna have a good day no matter what cancer wants to do."

    Saw the doc this morning, she handed me the report, and summed it up: "This was a GOOD scan." Nothing grew, some lesions even went down a little.

    I told her I posted on a football board where there was a cancer section and I'd share this good news. She wants me to tell all y'all fuckers to buck up, eat healthy, take your medicine, and be of good cheer.

    Now to avoid falling down the stairs.

    This is the baseline for realistic good news. Grats on the good scan buddy. 

     

    I'm meeting with radiology, surgery, and liver specialists over the next week to start planning the next course of action. Still have 5 months or so until the current treatment will lose efficacy.

  10. I personally do not have a desire to have additional romantic or sexual relationships while in a relationship. I've also never been big on one time casual sex. However, a strictly monogamous partner is not particularly important to me either. I have only "experimented" with this with one girlfriend. We would go to bars and she would flirt with other guys, get free drinks, and on a few occasions make out with a guy. But she always left with me and we had amazing sex those nights. The sex part of enm I could see myself being OK with, but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with the dating/bf aspect. 

     

    Tldr - people are all different, do what you want (ethically)

  11. For me it's wild inconsistency swinging back and forth for the week after infusion. Today is apparently a liquid day. Though my butthole is thankful it just sprays out of my belly.

    My only complaint was that it was never brought up that since the tillman's double crossed oola, logically his obligation to fill the contract would be broken as well. That obviously doesn't fit with the overarching sentiment of the final scene so it's a small quibble

    Although now that I think about it maybe he had moved on from that obligation since he said he was there for his "pound of flesh" regarding the ice skate to the ear.
