Good morning!!!!

[Larro Darro]

The good news is that there are rear cameras all over the motorhome, sides and rear, so at least I'll be
able to see how badly I'm screwing up.

That's the biggest part, not being able to see a small car behind a wide RV. If you are a good backer, you should be fine then.

Good Afternoon!

Sunny and 42*F. Cooler the rest of the week but doesn't look like much chance for precipitation which will be a welcome change.

Had the colonoscopy cancer screening this morning. One small polyp removed. For you guys 50-80 years old, it is a good preventative check. Catch things before they get worse or become cancerous. Their goal is to scope from the "exit" to the appendix.

Here is the routine if you aren't familiar with it:

Preparing for the procedure is the worst of it. Eat sparingly two days before, no solid foods one day before. The day-before clean-out is accomplished by taking two 5mg Ducolex tablets at 1pm. At 5pm mix 238 grams of Miralex laxative with 64 ounces of chilled green Gatorade and drink that over a 1.5 - 2 hour period. Two more Ducolex tablets at 9pm. Drink nothing after midnight. Of course, other doctors may have other protocols, but this is a fairly easy one to swallow. Stay close to the bathroom and don't plan on getting a lot of sleep. :laughing:

I got to the hospital at 8:30am and was on the way home by 11:30am. A driver is needed because the drugs are still wearing off when leaving. The combination of drugs I had were a complete sleep-like knock-out administered IV along with an IV bag of liquid. I don't remember the surgeon beginning, and I woke up in the recovery room. They inject a little air into the colon while scoping, so you do have a gassy feeling for a while afterwards. Other than that minor thing, which is really no worse than eating something that gives you gas, no discomfort at all.

The surgeon told me 1 in 1000 times the colon is punctured during the procedure and of those, 99% require surgery to repair. I asked if it was the condition of the bowel or the procedure that leads to a puncture, and he said it's just bad luck during the procedure usually. So, it is not risk free.

I am passing this along for those who like me, don't really enjoy doctor and hospital visits, don't have much experience with either, and maybe put things off that sound like something you would rather not be doing. :laughing:

Just reading what you wrote made me start sweating Dave....dang.

Yeah, I try to stay away from hospitals and people sticking things in me, and have been lucky at that so far.

On the other hand, colon cancer would be no picnic and it is relatively easy to avoid allowing it to become serious.

I remember my first one,I was nervouse than cat in room full of rocking chairs.
Doc had good sense of dry humor..real good,his name was Krik like on Star Trek he said and he will boldly go where no man gone before,and when finish ask me if I wanted second opinion....dang...USS Enterprise..nope more like USS Surprise.

I agree.."colon cancer would be no picnic and it is relatively easy to avoid allowing it to become serious."

 

[Buppies]

Agree Thomas and the last one I had do not remember a thing except being woke up by an extremely large nurse

Well, then let's start the week with a bit of humor:


A LITTLE HUMOR FOR US ALL...WOMEN MIGHT SAY ...VERY LITTLE.

A wife asks her husband

"Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get 6.

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had avocados."

If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time.
My work is done here.


Water in the carburetor

WIFE: "There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor."

HUSBAND: "Water in the carburetor? That's ridiculous "

WIFE: "I tell you the car has water in the carburetor."

HUSBAND: "You don't even know what a carburetor is. I'll check it out . Where's the car?"

WIFE: "In the pool"


THIS IS A FRIGHTENING STATISTIC, PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WORRISOME IN RECENT YEARS .
25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness. That's scary. It means 75% are running around untreated.


HE MUST PAY
Husband and wife had a tiff. Wife called up her mom and said, "He fought with me again, I'm coming to live with you."
Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake. I'm coming to live with you.


Today's Short Reading from the Bible. Genesis:
"And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."

Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!


Teachers & Cops:

These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny!)

1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

2. I would not allow this student to breed.

3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.

4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. (my favorite...)

5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

7. This child has been working with glue too much.

8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming..

10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.


These are actual comments made by 16 Police Officers. The comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:

1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you." (LOVE IT)

6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?" (MY FAVORITE)

7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"

8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop."

11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." (National Crime Information Center)

13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"

14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."

15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

AND THE WINNER IS....

16. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't.. Sign here."
