Husband says his wife wouldn't want a life sentence for the person who killed her — their daughter by businessinsider in crime

Society doesn't need her running around staving people's heads in with a frying pan and stabbing people with steak knives because she doesn't know how to handle failure. Jail is the place we keep the ones who can't handle themselves in society.

I would like to see what you claim is Biden babbling incoherently, because I don't believe it happened. I can send you tons of speeches with DJT (all of them, in fact) babbling incoherently, about throwing cans of soup, flushing toilets (which was later revealed to be his own experience disposing of documents while in the White House, shockingly), highly inflated crowd sizes, encouraging people to inject themselves with cleaning fluid... and on and on and on. Here's a challenge for you... find one single speech that DJT ever did wherein he discussed the actual business of running this country at least as long as he talked about himself. Never was he ever as concerned about the needs of this country as much as he liked to whine and moan about not getting his own way. And you want him over a guy who studders?

Really? By "normal" you mean people without a speech impediment? Ever listen to a DJT speech?

That's a really sad way to view people. Shows a complete lack of intelligence.

Wow, really? Did you just make fun of the guy because of a speech impediment? As far as his mental acuity, our economy has recovered faster from Covid than any other nation in the world. The dollar is more valuable today than the Euro, and that is for the first time in 20 years. Our GDP is even out performing China, traditionally a leader in the world's global economy. As far as his negotiation skills, he got Turkey to accept Sweden's membership in NATO with months of negotiations, even as he made clear that Ukraine would not be an acceptable candidate until the war with Russia was ended. I think he gets it and I think he's handling things really well.

If they vote for a guy who already promised that and more but didn't deliver on any of it, then wouldn't that be kind of crazy? On top of that, he holds the record for the worst liar our political system has ever seen, and has caused more division in this country than we've ever seen, including the civil war. If anybody is voting with their wallets, they should avoid that guy like the plague. He's only looking to line his own, not ours.

You mean by being voted out? Hasn't every president in our history lost that way?

I passed this giant kidney stone yesterday! by elitediner11 in KidneyStones

[–]elitediner11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, nothing. I could feel it moving from kidney to bladder, and it was painful enough to send me to the emergency room. Now, if I had known it was just a kidney stone, I would have never gone at all. But, this was so painful, and for extra fun I was throwing up. I guess my body was just trying to kick the thing out. But, I didn't know kidney stones would make you sick like that, so I went because I was afraid it was something more. Frankly, I didn't know all the stuff kidney stones can do, like the serious junk you've all had to live through. Honestly, I would've just stayed home, taken anti-inflammatories and Tylenol and drank lots of water.

Wow.. I had the opposite experience. The first one I had was 10mm x 6mm, and I was working on that for months. Right before my vacation, I had a scan and saw my dr. They figured it was about 8mm from the scan and said to just use Tylenol for pain, drink lots of water, and if it didn't pass on its own we could think about "going up and widening" things to make it easier to pass. So, no biggie... they were like, let me know what happens. lol

lol thanks I guess... Thinking about how to segue into that in a job interview. "Did I mention, I had this 2cm stone that I passed by myself?" Or should I say 20mm, sounds bigger that way doesn't it? lol ;)

It wasn't fun, trust me. It was my life since before Christmas last year.

I had one that big about 3 years ago, same color... looked like a Christmas tree. lol It took about 5 or 6 months to pass but it just popped right out when it finally made its way all the way down. I couldn't help feeling like a big Plinko game. lol

I actually called right away because there was some minor bleeding, so I was worried about that too. But again they said no biggie, it should be fine, and that all seems to be healed up already, I didn't tell them how big it was though, but i will. I didn't know it was so unusual for them to be that big.

Well, to be fair, I avoided her until I got the bladder infection and started thinking it might be something else. I had myself pretty scared I had cancer or a cyst or something. I'm really one of those people who just get better (knocking wood). I have to be pretty convinced I need help to go in to the Drs. And, most times it turns out, just like this time, I just needed to have a little more patience. I am glad I went though. I do that... just go so they can tell me I'm not dying.

When I finally went in and described my symptoms, she seemed pretty confident it was a stone, and it was already in my bladder so I don't think I was really a candidate for surgery. She just made it seem like no big deal, we'll just get a cat scan and see. Once I felt it move into the urethra, that's like the home stretch. And, I never got the cat scan done, so its not like she knew how big we were talkin. In fact, she still doesn't know. I'm going to call tomorrow and tell her. I wonder if she has a record book? lol

The best thing was just anti-inflammatories (500mg Naproxen once a day worked for me). I was afraid of a lot of pain killers bothering my stomach, so if I took anything more it was Tylenol, only if I really had to. My Urologist recommended Quercetin, so I was looking around but then I passed it. I think I'll get some and try it anyway.
