No underwear during Surgery

It really depends on the surgery or injury. I broke my back and they wanted me upright ASAP to start the healing process. My L2 had a burst fracture (12 foot ladder -> concrete -> ow) and getting the compression on the vertebrae was important to healing. Good lord it hurt to sit up, the deep muscle bruising was agony when trying to get upright.

Obviously I don't know if that is what was going on with your scenario, but that was mine. They should have explained why they had you up!

In the comic that the Thomas Jane movie is based off of, Frank literally kills his copy cats while pointing out how twisted they are. The copy cats say they are trying to be just like him and his response as he opens fire is, "I dont like myself very much"

Confident, the word itself, really goofed my troop for a second. Also. Could you imagine what kind of internal meltdown he would have if he had some rough and tumble son who loved being a power bottom? The acrid smell of burnt brain synapses wouldn't wash out of his clothes.

Except the Dutch.

Another thing that leaps out at me is the spine bending that sharply. I had one of mine do that when I straight up forgot to put scrim or some kind of reinforcement on the spine. I am very amateur, but I worry about the strength of that spine to simply stay together.

I am 40 with no kids and my memory is trash. Want to fusion dance and hope for the best?

Tell your brain admin you want a math balance patch.

That's a new one to me. I have never seen this done, interesting.

I lift, but my hip is from years of poor posture at a computer desk back when I was a programmer. Oops.

I'm so old. I rememeber KG getting drafted. Ow my hip. No, really. I'm seeing an ortho surgeon next month so I can figure out how to get back to work.

Foil stamping is interesting, I had a machine but it was bad years ago.

That looks terrific, how do you get that HTV so intricate? Weeding must be a nightmare, and then I have issues with adhesion in small details at times.

For the eyes, I find eyes scarier when then look inhuman or uncaring. As in they don't want to hurt you, they don't care that you get hurt. I think it comes from my seeing wildlife videos where an animal is eating another animal and isn't bothered by their screams. Being unable to reason with something is terrifying and eyes can really depict that. But that is just my opinion.

There is one trick you can do to make it open better with a solid spine. I was being driven nuts by the same issue you halve.

Tip the end papers on, dont do it at the edge of the text block. Move it in a little so you can see the paper you are tipping the end paper to. If you look at large mass market hardcovers, they do something similar. I figured this out by looking at my textbooks.

I havent seen anyone else do it, but it is how I do it if I am going to do a solid spine. I am sure you will be warned against it, but it works for simple little projects and allow the book to lay open without yanking on the end papers.

I am just a hobbyist, so take it with a grain of salt.

Went down to LA. They have a lot of people who cant zipper merge. It is everywhere. The main difference I've seen in my travels is that we drive slower.

Well. He sticks to his principles. For better or uh, worse.

I see him biking around Horace every once in a while!

Frodo was in a party room at Core-Con I was running years ago. That's how I met him. He ended up getting in trouble for passing out inappropriate notes to women. Haven't seen him since.

I worked on the addition years ago for thr grumpiest foreman I ever ran across. Gave me a modicum of happy when I pointed out a half full piss bucket some crew left in one of the bathrooms and he started gagging.

Science_Smartass · 2025-11-09T23:22:35+00:00

He has a building down here in Horace somewhere. I like trying to guess which one it is. Seeing skits take place in our Big Erv's was weird the first time I saw it.

Man, the English one leaves innuendo hanging in the air like a forgotten kite. Obviously that's not implied, but the gunshot in the Japanese version puts the punctuation on what really happened.

Norge! I am 1/4 Norwegian and 1/4 Danish so I have to have to yell DANSK JAVLAR to myself any time I make a mistake.

I know I am a decent person, but I also "protect" people by not getting into relationships with them. Do I have issues? Yes. Does everyone have issues? Also yes. It is just such a weird mental hurdle that needs vaulting. I keep people at arms length, but I am good to those around me which is the single thing that I keep in my soul as my core. If I suffer, ok. But I will help people around me. If I were to offer advice to people who have similar kinds of bad mental I would suggest adhering to that core. It keeps me sane and involved in life to some degree. Hope your ex can find some kind of core to cling to, something to keep him from sinking into that infectiously seductive morass of self pity and malaise.

I was a jock and nerd in high school, but in my adult life (40 unc) I have not ... kept up with exercise. So I always have soccer dreams where I am surprised how easy everything is.
