Being able to chew normally is one of those things you can't truly appreciate until you are unable to do it for some length of time. After 6 months with a loose temporary crown and another 8 1/2 months with varying stages of the dental implant, I finally got my new permanent crown / tooth yesterday. I'm not sure I'd say it was worth $3500, but it is glorious being able to eat like a normal person again after so long.
The weather here is F'N Fantastic.
And hopefully later today PA will have gotten a clean bill of health.
Thanks kiddo. But my scope is next Friday. I may have jumped the shark a bit by starting that thread so soon. I'm not sure my colon can remain a source of interest for another week.
I hear you on the choppers. I'm almost five months in braces, and only recently have teeth shifted around to where my bite is normal again. It's great, but now I'm wolfing down food like a 15-year-old longshore-boy.
And, yes, it's a beautiful day in Pennsyltucky!

I've not undergone a full colonscope, but I've had something less intrusive -- what was it -- an endoscope? If my experience is any indicator, the recovery room where all the -scope dudes (it was all dudes when I was in) go before being released is a hilarious and entertaining symphony of (odorless) farts that are passed as the air leaves the inner paths that the -scopes had to travel.
Note to self: The Symphony of Odorless Farts will be the title track for the 22-minute opus (broken down into multiple suites) that will occupy the entirety of side 2 of my prog rock band's debut album.
I saw Ess Oh Eff at Artpark. Fabulous.

I feel like John Houseman is going to make an appearance in this thread.

I had the game on in the car long enough to hear Mark Kelso, before the Bills' first drive, say, in response to Murph saying the offense had to get something going, something to the effect that, "Yeah, the Bills need to at least get the ball over midfield before giving up possession."
If his voice wasn't bad enough, that made me turn it off.

The night before is SOOOOOOOOO bad, I was shocked that on the way home the next morning I felt great and enjoyed a nice lunch with my wife. NO after effects at all!
Frankly, the jokes are simply part of it -you can look forward to having your doctor report that you are a perfect a$$-ole"
My doctor builds and sails (?) model battleships, in mock battles. No, really, it's an actual competition, with people who travel around and do it. I have a good battleship joke at the ready — if I am coherent enough to deliver it.
So I'm thinking during the prep I could watch a game from last season. Any recommendations?

Go get your colon scraped.
Oh yeah? Go get your colon scraped. Or are you not of a certain age yet?
-
Also, only young, thin and attractive people will be let into the area. It's Buffalo, so they'll have to be flown in.
-
??
You're like a freakin' mother hen.
-
Is that the noise that will emanate from my bowels during prep?
Good luck, man. Both of my maternal grandmothers died of colon cancer, and my mom is now around the age when her mother was diagnosed. It's no fun, but far better to catch it early than late. And afterwards you'll finally be able to fit into those skinny jeans again! ;)
Comedian Billy Connolly did a great bit about his colonoscopy prep. He said to himself near the end of the torrent that he was going to end up the size of a walnut.

When you start taking the saline solution the day/night before, don't make any plans that involve being more than 10 ft from your toilet.
Yes. I actually have to be at an eye appointment at the Cleveland Clinic at 7:30 a.m. on the day before. I'm to start my prep at noon. There is *no* way I'm going to risk starting the prep before I hit the road, or while on the road, even though it probably takes a while to kick in.
I started looking for videos. There's one of Katie Couric getting hers. Then I happened on the following. This is the most disturbing first 10 seconds of any colonoscopy video. The woman, the accent… the utensils.

Next Friday morning, some guy will do what countless of you have always wanted to do: knock me the ###### out and jam an object up my ass.
Then, in October, I'll have my first colonoscopy...
I kid.
I'm not having any problems. But in early 2009, my brother died of colon cancer at 54. I was 42 at the time, two years past the age your first colonoscopy is recommended if a sibling of yours has colon cancer.
So I am a stupid, stupid man. I can't say exactly why I've put it off. I'm not afraid of having it done. Maybe I've been a bit neurotic about finding out that something's wrong. Makes no sense, I know.
Anyway, colonoscopy stories, jokes, advice, fears, etc. are welcome.
If I can convince just one other fellow neurotic poster to come along for the ride of their lives, my job will be done here.

If Pegula buys this building, good things will certainly ensue.
Right.

So great. I was day drinking downtown in June 99 and saw Hitchcock from a distance lumbering toward the naval park area (was he jogging? Hard to say). I yelled out some slurred combination of "You're going down Hitch you fat fukc!" He gave me a big smile and an extended middle finger. I sorta love him for that.
LUMBERING. I lol-ed.

I'd be curious to see if Vegas could build up their own style of in-arena atmosphere like we always hear about in Nashville. That would be an absolute must if they were to get a team.
We could ask the Pegulas to do this in Buffalo. The arena experience needs a total teardown. They could start by jettisoning The Pointer and The PA Guy Who Stutters.

Is it all about the almighty dollar? (Of course it is.) Aud, green courtesy phone, Aud. Aud, please report to the expansion thread. Aud, call your answering service.
Does expansion make for a better game? Is there enough talent to support more teams? Or will the talent level be (further?) diluted? Will more teams in the places suggested mean more great hockey rivalries, more great arena experiences?

OP, you forgot Buffalo, New York.

I'm on a roll. After my thimbleberry discovery yesterday, today I found a large puffball mushroom — soccer ball-sized if not bigger. I've never eaten one. It's solid white inside, roughly the texture of firm tofu. So I cubed it up and sauteed it in olive oil and minced garlic, with some lemon pepper seasoning and celery salt (only salt I had in the house). Yummy.
At least I think it was a puffball. They are definitely safe to eat. But I am starting to feel a little strange. Pat Hannigan? Is that you?

I agree with this. I like my PA better than P.C. physician.
Egos and God Complexes seem to be totally absent in PAs.
-
PA (if I get accepted...I just put my application in and it's extremely competitive)
At my age (45), becoming a Dr. wouldn't make sense as I would barely if ever recoup that investment. Plus, I think PA is actually preferable (for me) for a number of reasons.
Good luck. I admire you. I wish I had the 'nads to do something like that. I think of PAs as doctors who retain characteristics of being human.

I don't think that's it. I never deleted the s before.
Whatever lol

I found a thimbleberry bush along a trail this weekend. It was a new one on me. I had to go home and google it. Its plump, yes thimble-like, red berry is delicious, and the red is just gorgeous. It's tart and sweet and so delicate it almost melts in your mouth. Unfortunately, there were only enough berries to sample, not to make a pie or anything. The leaves resemble, ugh, maple leaves and are striking in their own right. As always, be careful what you're eating in the woods!

Blue, where does the Cup factor in? Kane closes some ground there, no?
