WTF? I don't hang around that long as flushing is the last thing I do before exiting. Do you hang around and wait for the flushing to stop so you can raise the seat and lid?

All this toilet banter is quickly turning s**thouse and there is nothing worse that getting your teeth into a toothbrush in near proximity. Then again. you don't eat, you die. What is the solution?
A colostomy bag for all I think. And no, I am not taking the pi**.

Time to change the topic, a nice Sunday morning starter.

Flashback. Our  (cat) is now on Flagyl. He has gone out in sympathy with you. Knowing what the vet was prescribing him she looked at me rather weirdly when I said no alcohol for him this weekend. Will be glad when the symptoms resolve

After food, and no alcohol for the cat while he continue his course. If he is hanging out for a Chianti, just recommend the cat a tonic.

nothing wrong with starting off from walking first . Bike riding is low impact too

The worst thing I see is overweight people running. Especially on hard paths and roads. Cannot imagine the damage they are doing to knees and feet.

Weigh benefits against risks, and get medical advice prior to taking up exercises.

Another piece of news from recent study on prostrate cancer:

http://www.inquisitr.com/3571393/diet-high-in-saturated-fat-linked-to-aggressive-prostate-cancer/

Suggestion to avoid foods with high saturated fats and to take statins to control cholesterol.

I would be prostrate with that!

It does annoy that scientific studies are released when the average Joe Blow has known 'it' for years.

Some women may relate to findings of this research:

So Foreigner we have a 25% chance of not running into an economist in the sack?

Bocsánat?

We don't want to be run over by economists (or accountants)

Just had a bone marrow test with laughing gas. Boy, that was a fun trip until the corkscrew bit!

I only use a handicapped parking spot when I am taking the olds to a medical appointment or food shopping. I would never consider using an ACROD spot illegally as there are so many who are battling to walk. Be fair to the olds.

Happy to give the Olds a break but I would expect ID via a seniors card at least. to know whether said person has qualified as an "OLD"

That sounds like it would be painful, ouch.
Hope results are good.

Feel yucky. I know it's just a cold and not the flu but I can hardly drag myself around the house

 

[rogerkambah]

Hope you get well soon l_t_l.

Rest up! Being back at 95% capacity now you realise just how much it can drag you down. Hope you feel better soon.

It shouldn't be if done properly. Hopefully results are positive.

Actually the results should preferably be negative

Oh. Hope that is the worst of it then.

Not good. Sounds like a reason to stay in bed.

Actually I think the lupus meds are kicking in. They take about a month to start and I realised I am doing jobs that I have been putting off for months. I now have to clear two rooms because of the ceiling issue and previously that would have left me just unable to face it. Instead I have sorted through lots of junk for recycling and rubbish and got it in the car ready for disposal. It helps MrP is again away so there is a bit of chuck it away happening.
