This is what the rear end of a boar looks like.  Just in case you were wondering.



Just don't ask how I found it.  Just, please, no.

How did you find it? :angel:

Perhaps QV called for semen availability. :zoinks:

I read the CornInMyCoffeePot blog.  I often go off on tangents by looking at the other websites suggested by Google.  One of them had a query about cooking corn in a coffeepot.  Which this guy was doing to feed his pigs.  And one website led to another, well.............
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

"Negotiation" actually means "unrest", "struggle" and "noise", since "otium" means "leisure", "peace" and "quiet" and "negotiation" is "nec otium"  :nerdy:

Costly NEW AREA CODE:
809 Area Code

We actually received a call last week from the 809 area
code.
The woman said 'Hey, this is Karen.
Sorry I missed you- get back to us quickly.
I have something important to tell you.'
Then she repeated a phone number beginning with 809
We did not respond. Then this week, we received the following e-mail:
Do Not
DIAL AREA CODE 809, 284, AND 876 from the U.S. or Canada
.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809
This one is being distributed all over the US ... This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call.
Be sure you read this and pass it
on.
They get you to call by telling you that it is
information about a family member who has been ill or to tell you
someone has been arrested, died, or to let you know you have won a
wonderful prize, etc.
In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away.
Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls.
If you call from the U.S. or Canada , you will apparently be charged a minimum of $2425 per-minute.
And you'll also get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic.
The charges afterward can become a real
nightmare.That's because you did actually
make the call.If you complain, both your local phone
company and your long distance carrier will not want to get
involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply
providing the billing for the foreign company.You'll end
up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done
nothing wrong.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

  When having an MRI, especially in a closed machine, remember to:

  1.)  Go as limp as you can, unless you are told to hold your breath of course.  Once in the machine, you will need to hold still,
  so get really relaxed so you won't have to tense any muscles in order to hold your position.  Be a noodle.   :fsm:

  2.)  Keep your eyes closed.  I am somewhat claustrophobic, but with my eyes closed I felt safe and relaxed.  8)

  Your experience my differ from mine, these are just my own thoughts based on my own experience.  :)

Why were u in a MRI machine CBC?

  I had fleeting, recurring twinges of pain in one part of my head over four days.  They are similar to
  headaches I've had in the past, but I'd never had them persist for so long.  Because of the change in pattern and the fact that
  a relative a few generations back on my mother's side is suspected to have died of a cerebral aneurysm, my doctor ordered
  an MRI of my brain just to see if there was anything sinister going on in there.  As far as the tests can tell, I am fine.  8)

I am glad there is no clot, because if you died suddenly, I would be distraught and have no way of knowing.

       Awww ...   :(  :hug:

  Oddly enough, the headache pretty much stopped the day after I initially saw my doctor about it.
  I have a slight tendency toward hypochondria and have occasionally fixated upon the thought that I might have
  a weak blood vessel in my brain and not know about it.  But life is full of things we don't know about.
  Anyway, I had it checked out and apparently I am fine, and ready to continue postwhoring!  :thumbup:
