taks Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 It turned out that they can use dermabond, kind of like super glue, to close cuts nowadays. super glue was always rumored to have been used for surgery initially, though the official invention came in the 40s in an attempt to create clear gun sights. at the very least, i've been hearing about their use in surgery for closing wounds since super glue was advertised on the tube with the dude hanging from a hard hat attached to a steel i-beam. early 70s maybe? digging around yields information regarding the use of cyanoacrylates in vietnam for wound closure, perhaps they're more popular now because they've improved the formula? dunno... taks comrade taks... just because.
Aristes Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Yeah, but the fact remains that I never heard about the use of super glue as a substitute for stitches when I was growing up. ...And I had to have stitches on several wounds over the years. Some of them pretty ugly. I don't doubt you, I'm just sayin' it was news to me.
Walsingham Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Meh. It's not clever until they can ADD legs, not just reattach the old ones. I'd have to steer a middle course between TrueNeutral and Gorgon. I take my family commitments seriously, but I also believe there are limits. I think this definitely springs from having to balance so many commitments these last years. You have to accept that helping some people - if they're being totally **** - means you can't help anyone else, and that can mean abandoning your friends and your professional duties.

Blarghagh Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Oh, don't get me wrong. I have an enormous loyalty to, for example, my parents. They raised me which must have been a complete pain in the butt. Close relatives whom I actually have a bond with are very important to me. But relatives I can't stand and who can't stand me can go jump into a hole for all I care. I don't think simple genetics is a reason to believe there is some deeper connection between us.
Kaftan Barlast Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 It's absolutely scorching hot here today, couldnt take our usual lunch coffee outside because the chairs were so hot it hurt.

Deraldin Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I just got back from the Shaw Festival. We spent the weekend travelling around the Niagara region checking things out and going to a few plays (The Devil's Disciple and In Good King Charles Golden Days) which was entertaining. Also went down to the falls and got a nasty sunburn on my neck. On the bright side, I've never sat up straight so much in my life. By the time this sunburn is gone I'll have perfect posture from trying to keep my shirt from irritating the burned area.

Daaave Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Went on a daytrip to Wales yesterday with a couple of friends, we decided on it roughly an hour prior and it still managed to go quite swimmingly and without any deaths. When we got home we decided it would be fun to row down the canal in a punctured dingy, where we were very nearly murdered by a group of rather angry cows and amused multiple passers-by and people in houseboats that were docked up for the evening and such.

Daaave Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Nourishment is overrated. Eat some dirt! That's a depressingly realistic proposition tbh, might have to find randomers to go home with when I go out.

theslug Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I finished the entire Harry Potter series in roughly two and a half weeks. I really, really liked it. Edited June 30, 2009 by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Krookie Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I finished the entire Harry Potter series in roughly two and a half weeks. I really, really liked it.

Blarghagh Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I just gathered some of my grandmothers things so the neighbour could bring her to the doctor in her car because she just broke her toe by stubbing it really hard against the corner of the sofa. So very ouchie.

I'm hoping to play some World of Warcraft with my sister later today if I get home in time. WoW is my $15 a month long distance plan where I play a game while I talk to family and friends out of state. Sadly, I'm beginning to detest WoW. I cancelled my LotRO subscription, which is a bummer since I much prefer that game. I never once saw an ANAL joke on LotRO.
Daaave Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Aha! A challenge! So tell us what you can eat and we can pauperise it for you. Okay then, things I like include, in whatever order I think of them: - Most meats, but not bacon or fish, unless the fish in question is canned tuna which is awesome. Processed meats are also rubbish. - Potatoes as long as they're roast potatoes or chips, boiled and mashed aren't nice. - I like bread, breadcrumbs on things is a no no, however. - Peas and carrots, sweetcorn is also acceptable but I'm not a great fan. - Iceberg lettuce. - Cucumber. - Beans, Pot Noodles and toast. - Cereal aimed at children such as Coco Pops and Ricicles. - Apples and oranges. That's all I can think of worryingly, pauperise away and save my life.

Gfted1 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I never once saw an ANAL joke on LotRO. FYI, you can leave any channel at any time. /chatexit (aliases '/chatleave' and '/leave') - Leave a channel. So you would probably want /chatexit (trade channel is the culprit Im assuming) "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Aristes Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I know I can leave the trade channel. Sadly, that's what I do most of the time. However, I'd really like to be able to count on the trade channel for... TRADE! I've gotten some good deals on it in the past, especially if I needed something in a hurry, but it's just so stupid it's not even worth it anymore. It's especially bad where the realm population is high. I don't begrudge folks their fun. I'm from the "that's what she said" generation myself. It's just that there are NO new anal jokes. They were pretty stupid to begin with and now they're completely played out and I'm stuck wading through them if I want to see anything in the trade channel. Much worse on my old server of Gilneas than my new one, though. Anyhow, I guess I'm ranted out for right now. Maybe I'll rant about it later.
