Thank you all for your kind thoughts. DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE OUT!!! I just got home about 1 hour ago. It wasd a pretty painful experience. Monday night/Tuesday morning, I had trown up about 4 times in a row, so I was driven to the hospital. I was in so much pain that I could harly walk, and was almost in tears. I went to the waiting room, but could not sit there. I went to the checkin window again, and begged them to check me. They were pretty full. I laid down right there on the floor, and did not move for I don't know how long before someone came and got me, and had me give a urine sample, a blood sample. After all that they wanted to CAT scan me. They brought in the dreded "punch" to drink. That stuff was nasty, and I could not finish it. They had to get the chemical fluid in me some how so they could get a decent read, so they went THE OTHER WAY!:mad: 
:mad: :mad: I am sitting on this sliding table with this ....well you get the picture. My advice to anyone having this type of scan in the future...DRINK THE PUNCH!! You don't want them spraying stuff in the other way. After all that torture, they hit me with the fact that I needed my appendix removed. Let me say again, IT FEELS GOOD BEING OUT!!!
Now to go get in my car for the first time in a week, and go handle some business.

And the appendix is beleived (based upon the purpose homologous organs serve in other creatures) to digest hard-to-digest things, but specifically seeds and nuts.
It not only is more effective at breaking down hard-to-digest foods (think of all the corn we "expel"!) but can make toxic foods non-toxic. Kind of a AEM bypass valve for our intestines (hey, a car analogy!). Toxic seeds and such go into the (once much larger) appendix and are broken down by a combo of our bodily fluids and microorganisms that change the chemical composition of the food to either eliminate the toxin, or release it into the body in such small amounts that it is non-toxic.
Also, by keeping foods in there for a long time with microorganisms, it serves a similar purpose to the multiple stomachs of ruminants (animals that chew cud) by allowing digestion of celluloids and other s*** (grasses and seeds).
B.A. in anthropology, I know all sorts of interesting evolutionary sh*t. What a dork!

oh crap...guess I wasn't paying attention close enough....thats right...I remember the first time...with the white and the pics you posted then.....
you need to buy one of those protable buildings big enough to put your car in......
they make a hell of a shop when you finally get a house too!

Linux...I feel yer pain, as the ex-president once said.
A number of years ago (1976), I took a friend from El Salvador up to the hospital for him to take care of a skin condition. I had been to summer school that morning...didn't feel great. But I had promised that I would drive him the 40 miles to the hospital in Albany.
I was hanging out in the waiting room of the skin doctor reading a magazine and feeling sick and the next thing I knew I was being wheeled into a operation room.

Hey Patrick! I'm glad you feel okay. Funny how you can feel perfectly fine one day and totally screwed up the next...
I cannot believe you are still having issues with Sapril. Greg had a really psyco ex like her and he had to move out of the state (1600 miles!) to get her to leave him alone. *sigh*
Big Ben,
what has been going on with the vandalism of your baby?!?! where are the pix posted? (I've been gone for a while)
