  1. Last week I was in Silver City, NM on business. Decided to drive to White Sands National Park on Sunday to do some hiking. It is about a 2-1/2 hour or so drive. Got up early Sunday and had a bit of breakfast. Before I left on the drive I took care of business. I had no problem whatsoever until I am about 5 minutes from the Park. As I am pulling into the parking lot at the visitor's center I am starting to crown. By the time I get into the bathroom I have a slight breach. Finally get on the toilet and my insides come out. Cleaned up the best that I could and went into the gift shop to have a look around. About 30 minutes later I am at the trailhead to Alkali Flat Trail. It is a 5 mile loop trail through the dunes. As I am about to head off I have another rumbling in my stomach. Fortunately there is a restroom at the trailhead so I spend another few minutes in there letting out what is left of nothing in my system. Surely there is nothing left and I have come too far to abort the mission now. Besides, my stomach does not hurt at all. I finally get onto the trail and I am about 2 miles in when it hits again. So I turn around and clinch my butt and hike back out and drive back to the visitor's center to leave one last present before aborting the mission of hiking Alkali Flat Trail and brokenly drive back to Silver City. As I am leaving the toilet at the park I heavily line my now stained underwear with about 20 feet of toilet paper. By the time that I reach Las Cruces the urge has hit again. I find the first toilet that I can at a crowded convenience store. The bathroom is a one-holer and there is not lock on the door to keep people from walking in on me. I make an executive decision to drive to another store nearby. I make it OK bouyed by the extra toilet paper stuffed in my underwear. I leave Las Cruces and make it to the Loves Truckstop just west of town. I pull into Loves and rush to the toilet. Get in there and realize that there is no toilet paper. Step back out of the stall and grab a roll of the rough brown paper from the hand dry dispenser. Too bad if the toilet gets stopped up with the heavy paper. They should have the real paper available. I finish what is left of my business, stuff my shorts with a ton of brown paper to the point that it looks like I am wearing a diaper and fortunately make it all the way back to Silver City. The underwear and the remaining paper end up in the trash nicely sealed up in a plastic bag.

    Colonoscopy

    I am due to have my first one on October 18. Was going to go the Cologuard route but never got around to it. Finally told my doc at my recent general check up to go ahead and sign me up. I guess the two Cologuard kits that I have received in the mail will become White Elephant Gifts.
  3. I take a daily dose of Lisinopril 10mg and Metoprolol 25mg.
  4. From the corporate office in Milwaukee. Headed back to Texas tomorrow. FIGHT!!!!
  5. I have nothing more to offer above the sage advice expressed so far besides that God answers prayers. Will be praying for your daughter and all involved.
  6. I had to do this a few years ago. I was diagnosed with SVT. My heart will race 7 or 8 times a year on average. If I stay hydrated that seems to keep it under control for me. Once it does start to race I know how to bring it back under control. I am also on meds to keep it under control too. An ablation is an option but have opted to stick with meds for now.
  7. Haven't had a big toe fusion but I hurt my big toe in high school and developed a bone spur on it. The removal of the bone spur resulted in limited movement of my big toe. The limited movement affects my balance with certain movements (lunges) and even hurts when I do push ups because of forcing it to bend more than it wants to. Don't get me started about weather changes. It hasn't stopped me from playing full-court basketball 3 days a week for the last 30+ years or hiking (which I do a lot of). I am very active but it lets me know from time to time that it is not the same. Getting old sucks.
  8. From my business trip location of Silver City, NM... FIGHT!!!!
  9. Napkin dispensers that are packed with too many napkins that you end up tearing them into tiny pieces as you try to get one out.
  10. I am posting this here and not in the Parking Douchebaggery thread because technically the red Honda is parked properly between the stripes but could have moved closer to the curb to allow more room on the passenger side. That is my truck barely visible to the right. I typically try to park far away from any one else to avoid situations like this but this was at a doctor's office and parking was limited. Fortunately I did not notice a ding on my door. Now the Ford truck to the left is clearly improperly parked.
  11. Let us pivot and put that in the parking lot for now. Besides, it does not affect my PNL.
  12. Your avatar look is my typical response.
  13. People who, after taking their first site or field visit away from the office, suddenly become experts on how things are done.
  14. Speaking of escalators, I can't stand people who just ride it all the way up or down without even moving. Take some steps you lazy fucks This right here. I am frequently flying through the ATL airport. I am constantly saying "excuse me" as I go up and down thier long escalators and passing people. I try to avoid the train in order to get my exercise.
  15. True, but I am a sucker for WW2 and old period movies.
  16. Adding to RPM's list: Northwest Passage- A colonial era movie about upstate NY and Roger's Rangers Plymouth Adventure- A movie about the Mayflower and the Pilgrims 30 Seconds Over Tokyo- WW2 flick about Doolittle's Raid on Japan early in the war There are many more. He is good in all of his movies.
  17. "We'll always have Paris". Err, sorry, "We'll always have OU." - Bogart
  18. I know a guy that collects aggy “militaria”. He might be interested or at least may can give some type of value to it. Is there provenance to the ID? That typically brings a bit more premium.
  19. I am assuming that you know your limits with this....ooops, too late.
  20. I saw one the other day while visiting my daughter in Leander. Absolutely hate how the front end looks.
  21. This recent discussion needs to cease. Do not want the internet overlords to pounce. Plus it is a strange topic.
  22. There is a yield sign near my house going into a right hand turn with a clear field of view to the left. At least 75% of the folks turning right treat the yield sign as a stop sign.
  23. Yes, it is an Ohio plate.
  24. I came across two this weekend. The first one. My truck is to the left so I know that there was no need for her to park like that. The second pic...the license plate says it all.
