Walsingham Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I once had a boring dream. Tried to shoot my way out. Couldn't find a gun. Nightmare. Literally. DUH, you do live in GB. Next time try to find a cricket bat, a pint or a chair leg in your dreams. When i dream of ''Shooting my way out'' things don't go after plan either, either its me missing all the times or my guns have reliability issues, guns not sighted in, failure to feeds and so on. Funny, in reality I'm a very good shooter and my guns are 100% reliable, in my dreams I suck. I guess it would probably boring when I could just eliminate all the dangers with the press of a trigger. Would hurt the storyline. It would be like Ellen Ripley having a Minigun in Alien 1. Er... can anyone think of a non-Freudian interpretation please? 4 "It wasn't lies.

Hurlshort Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So Logan, my 4-year old, is not a fan of getting x-rays. He's got this dent in his cheek and we were worried it might be broken, but he was having none of it. He seriously flipped out on the table, kicking, punching and screaming.

Gromnir Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 calls to mind a dr. visit we had 'bout 6 months ago. what we were in for doesn't matter and is none o' your business... so there. anywho, we can look across the hall (nurse left our door open) and we see this doctor, a no-nonsense guy in mid 40s, trying to give a shot to a boy of 'bout 8 years. am not sure what kinda shot, but it appeared to be important enough that he kept trying in spite o' the kid moving his arm every time the doctor came near him with the needle. doctor explains to kid to stay still. doctor explains to the boy' mother to keep her child's arm immobile. were at least six attempts we saw and the doctor were getting mighty frustrated. am thinking he weren't a pediatrician. ... the scenario were perplexing to us. we were raised by grandparents who let us do whatever we wished just so long as we also did what we were told. our grandfather, in a similar situation, woulda' utilized a firm smack to get our attention and then woulda' explained what he expected from us. Gromnir woulda' quietly accepted the shot and that woulda' been the end o' it. no doubt we woulda' gotten a hug once we left the office and probably some ice cream before making the long trip home. then again, Gromnir were odd. example: as a sprout we got thrown from our pony and apparently bit complete through our own tongue. it were explained to us that such an injury is very painful. our grandparents didn't realize there were a problem for a couple o' days as we failed to mention anything. am guessing we caused them some grief when they took us to hospital 'cause doctors thought we were being neglected at first. is no possible way our grandparents couldn't have known there were a problem, yes? also, we don't recall being 4 years of age. perhaps at that age we were a mewling bed-wetter who screamed constantly and stuck forks into light sockets whenever an adult turned their back on us. ... is probable a good thing we don't have kids.

Gfted1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 My friends 7 yo daughter is the same as Hurlshot's son. Both he and his wife, one on the legs and one bear hugging the torso, are required to hold her still for any medical procedure. Im pretty lucky, with the exception of giving blood (required for an allergy test) my daughter is a trooper about doctors (and dentists). 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) "What you did at the Doc today"-Thread. I am out of the hospital now, by the way. Now 3 weeks that stuff on my arm, then it can get removed. After 6 weeks I will be able to use my hand again as normal, kinda wondering how long it will take to fully move my fingers again, though. In any case I am extremely excited that the pain is nearly nonexistent anymore. Will still have to visit the Doc like once every week, but oh well, got nothing else to do anyway. I promise I will be more careful with my hands from now on. :> Edited July 22, 2014 by Lexx 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Labadal Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Been having a headache for some time now. Not that regular headache I am used to. I can actually point at the exact location of the pain when I think about it. Called the local medical center and the woman on the phone told me to drink a lot and take painkillers. That was not the answer I was hoping for. She told me to call in a week. Oh well, she'll be responsible if my head explodes, I guess. It might have to do with my wisdom tooth, or maybe I'm just dehydrated. Drank more alcohol in five days than I have all year. Include unnatural heat and barely drinking any water, and that might be a good explanation. If it's none of that, then I don't really know what it could be. At least I have been drinking water like a madman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Hooooly crap. Couldn't sleep at all because a pair of mosquitoes wanted my blood really bad, they were circling around my face like flies flying around a pile of feces. Early in the morning - around half past 4 or so when the sun was rising- I saw a perfectly triangular shaped and brightly lit object flying below the clouds, without any sound and without leaving a trail. Its flight path was erratic and strangely wobbly but it wasn't faster than a plane at that altitude. I could observe it for two minutes until it vanished at the horizon. Other people must have seen it too, it was huge and easy to spot. Edited July 23, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
