Plus the issue of hyperalgesia with super long term use means there’s a decent chance opioids will make the pain feel worse than it did originally.

Thank you! That was making my brain itch lol.

See (hear?) also: Will Scheff, Adam Turla, and several others.

I think I fucked up the spelling on that.

OMG, +5000 points for the Lucero love!!

Reading this, my brain inserted an image of Lil’ Jon the rapper.

I can for real almost buy the Dave thing. Back when my high school hormones had a rabid crush on him, I remember reading an interview in which he implied that his tastes were of the super-kink persuasion.

Omg, I know two people with those names, and it's quite feasible that they would have gotten married.

Only tangentially related, but:

Ugh, this story is such un-adulterated bullshit. I had a patient at one point who did the exact thing this turd is claiming, except said patient ended up with permanent hypoxic brain damage because Tessalon acts on the stretch receptors in the lungs and enough of it essentially disables tthe breathing reflex (in a…

I grew up drinking cistern water. As in my Dad would literally go "to town", fill up a giant tank, and transport it to our "well" (read: stone lined hole in the ground.) You can imagine the kinds of gross shit that ended up in there... random organic debris, groundwater-borne schmutz, a dead cat at one point, etc.

Ooooh, I’m going to have to try it your way!

I feel like even though Lucycat is a grumpy heifer, our cats would probably get along. I'm giggling thinking about them laying in a sunbeam talking shit about how kittens today are disrespectful and high fiber catnip, lol.

This. Former roommate got a cat who, to his credit, loved every cat/human/stuffed animal he encountered... Just a big, furry, kinda dumb tuxedo-clad Maine coon/DSH snuggle bug.

Yaaass! Lucycat was ~10 when I got her due to previous owner leaving her with her parents when she had to move for work. Lucky for me!

Yasss, Target!! I think you're maybe talking about the Xhilaration hipster seamless, silky feeling ones? Those are the absolute bomb.com, and pretty much the only kind that look and feel good under work scrubs.

I had some pretty banana-crackers period shame issues at first. Not sure why, as my family had essentially no shame or qualms about discussing bodily functions/crotchal-type issues.

Thanks! For some silly reason, etsy never even crossed my mind.

Ah, the bug vac. I remember being awoken at midnight when my dad got home from work and commenced waging war on our occupying army of those things that look like ladybugs (but apparently aren't.)
