I'm having colonoscopy tmrw and today is my starvation day. I'm bloody starving.
And really looking forward to the "emptying" of my system later.

Never had one of them, thankfully. I get to dip a stick in my poo once a year and post it off to a lucky lab technician. That's unpleasant enough.

Although lately I've more fingers up my backside than Basil Brush. :thumbdown:

I have two bad memories of this procedure..... well lots actually: drinking the go go juice, drowning from the inside, the lighting crew up your jacksie and the biggest,longest fart ever in the history of man.

Enjoy :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Two trams to get to the cable car... which closed 2 days ago for scheduled maintenance. So went for a walk in the woods to look for bears. I did see a lizard.

Thought I was in a Whatsapp message exchange with Mrs. Gremlin. Made an in-joke comment about my mum maybe having a bit of dementia after all. Then suddenly realise I'm typing in the group that includes Mrs. Gremlin and my mum. I deleted it, but not quick enough I fear.

I've just had an awesome evening. A mate messaged me yesterday to as if I can cat sit in October for her and a friend (they are neighbours!).

She then invited me for dinner, but - no transport!

After a bit more messaging she just said, I'm coming to you tomorrow instead. If you really don't want a visitor, tell me when I check, but I think you do so I'm heading over!


We had a drink out and then I heated up some homemade spring rolls from the freezer for 'dinner' (which she loved!).


We've had such an amazing evening of chat, catching up, finding out whats been going on with each other (she's about to move away to Brittany :o :o )

Feeling like I've got my foot back on the bottom rung of the ladder again.


Proper friends are rare and so very important. She's awesome :wub: :wub:

Went to see the knee ortho as my PCP thought my knee gubbins that was installed on Dec 3 '19 may have come loose.

Ortho dude looked at the CT scan & announced all good. Maybe some discomfort from tendons rubbing on the Ti gubbins etc.

Dr: The plastic bit does wear out eventually, but you're not running marathons are you?
Me: The only thing I run is my mouth.....

Very cute nurse liked that one :)

A good, solid crack can often kill them, but they do definitely seem to get knocked unconscious a lot of the time, yeah! Trick is either to hold the fucker down with the button on until they're crispy and smoking, or hoover them up with the little handheld hoover before they can fly away.

I can't use mine unless Mrs M takes the dogs out for a walk as the crackling (or me pirouetting around the house swinging the racket) terrifies the dogs.

Ours is a particularly vicious version with a rather potent ZAP and I'm not sure its strictly safe/legal.

Was taking a butchers at the overnight reports on the local FB scanner page. Found this gem:

902R....13th Street West and Avenue I (Boyden).....male adult hit in head with firework, now not breathing....sheriff and FD enroute code 3
UPDATE: patient being transported to AVMC
UPDATE 2: per witness on scene, patient placed firework on motorcycle helmet , lit the firework and tried riding down street…patient in very critical condition

Apparently he was trying to light a mortar on top of his head wearing a motorcycle helmet and it never left the tube and exploded on top of his head...
