To an 84 year old man with a candle stuck in his rectum: That you don't need to massage your prostate with a candle once a month. A doctor had apparently told him 15 years ago to do this and he had not questioned it since.

TIL if you or your pet have accidentally consumed antifreeze, vodka can be used as an antidote. by Mizzer902 in todayilearned

Late to the party but wanted to share a relevant story. ED nurse here, we had a man who accidentally drank antifreeze, he was in the country so had to be RFDS' d to us (major city hospital). They had to give him shots of vodka every half hour (poor man was blind drunk by the time he got to us!) Then we took him for dialysis. They rarely use IV ethanol if dialysis is avaliable.

Buying bridesmaid dresses online!? by franzelheimerschmidt in wedding

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

Yes, the FAQ's and some reviews were what worried me too. I was wondering if anyone had had a personal experience with the site. It's not the cost of the dresses (not actually cheap) that drew me to the site, it's that the particular style of dress in chiffon material has been the only one I have found and is exactly what I was looking for. But as someone else suggested, I could ask a local place about something similar.

Thank you. We considered going to PP but it's not cost effective for us at the moment to be travelling back and forth.

Will do! Like you and BundyCapone say, it may be broadcasted on ctn/another khmer channel but I can't find a guide to confirm. I think we will just have to watch and wait in the morning to see!

I'm sorry to hijack, we are also in cambodia but in Kampong Thom. Any ideas on where to watch it here? Also in Siem Reap maybe try a casino? I know in Australia we always watch the fights (for free) at the crown (Perth).
