    Much sympathy for your pain, but I thought those initials stood for "Missouri Revised Statutes Annotated".

    No, I was mistaken. It turns out that Missouri doesn't use the MRSA acronym any more. But Maine does.

    Man, tapatalk's new update is glitchy. Quoting instead of editing, overwriting posts instead of adding new ones if you were the last one to post.
    Go home, you're drunk. Or on acid.

    Oh, hey. I had MRSA once. The smell is horrific. I got it in my big toe, acquired from a hospital. That shit is hard to get rid of. Luckily it was as far down an extremity as it could get, so I just had a month of oral Vanc. And a permanently kittened up toenail.

    We only have free TV (one HDTV with a powered attena) and a DVD player that doesn't record: No cable (last time was mid 1980s), no satellite, no dish, no on-line or wireless entertainment subscriptions, no memberships to rental services (if they still exist), no RedBox. We used to swap DVDs with one of my neighbors, but he & I had a falling out.

    We do have an analog TV that still works & a converter box that supposedly works, but no powered attena, and a VCR that works. None are plugged-in or hooked up.

    Our PS3 is set up in the living room and has wireless connection problems because the router is so far away and around a bend in my home office on the opposite side of the apartment. This makes watching Netflix nearly impossible. Also, downloading updates, etc., is a pain. My iPhone has issues there too, except for text and smaller images. My SO's newer phone and iPad are better, but she can't use FaceTime there. I think she'd probably have trouble with streaming video in general.

    I recently set up my old router at a kind of junction point in our apartment, and it is now extending the network. Everything seems to be working much better now. This is a 1st gen Time Capsule that I replaced with a new one.

    It was super easy to set up to do this. I simply plugged it in, set it on a bookshelf, and used the utility program on my iMac to agree to set it up as an extension to my existing network. It practically predicted what I was trying to do and did all the work for me. I just had to click "next" a few times.

    Now I have an extra wireless hard drive (albeit an aged and therefore unreliable one).

    The doc prescribed a once a week shot for my diabeetus, instead of the daily pill I was on. I think I prefer the horse pill.

    I don't blame you. Shots are dumb.

    I was so happy that I didn't get the Gestational Diabetes. Once when I was admitted into the hospital for a crazy MS flare-up, my initial screening said my sugar was high. After that I had to get finger pricked and hated it. My levels were never high after that, but the nurses kept doing it. One day I refused. I just told the nurse, "Nope, don't wanna. You can't have my fingers."

    It's something I just don't know that I could do and feel sorry for people who need to monitor it on a daily basis. It's not the needles that bother me really. It's where the needle goes. I have a weird thing about things happening to fingers. If I'm watching a movie where a victim is disemboweled or beheaded, I am not phased one bit. As soon as a finger or a hand gets cut, I cringe.

    When I was in the hospital, many years ago, I had my fingers poked regularly to check my blood glucose. The damned finger pricks were worse than the splenectomy to me. Shots don't bother me much, but finger pricks, yeeeeeesh.

    When I donate blood, the finger prick to test iron is way worse then the giant bloodletting needle.

    It's strange, but canning is like a meditation. I feel very calm and content right now.

    Y'll ever seen the tongueing/cunnilingus machine? Not the handheld ones, the large one that operates like the chain going around the bar guide on a chainsaw. Somewhere there's a clip of it from the Howard Stern (puke!!) Show.

    Thanks! I've been trying to remember which movie that line came from.
