Says the guy who buries active threads by starting 40 new threads based on tweets daily.
Next time I want to post 4 posts in a row in a thread, all pertaining to the thread topic, I'll just make them separate threads instead. I guess that's the workaround.

Re: Somebody send Chris Pratt an invite!
Pretty typical HcH poster story. Quite common actually.

As much as I talk shit about the structure of medicine and what it may or may not impose on the populace, there is still a ton of reason to have immense gratitude for it.
Last night, I checked myself into the ER. This morning I woke up without a gallbladder. There is still a ton of pain, but it should go away shortly. Furthermore, the pain meds available are in of themselves a lifesaver. Diluadid and Toradol FTW.
Hopefully back to ‘normal’ living by the end of the weekend.

Also, from the believe it or not file, I successfully declined the ‘mandatory’ Covid tests prior to admission then prior to surgery at Overlake. I’ll take even small wins when I can get them.

Re: Somebody send Chris Pratt an invite!
He's a Lake Stevens guy. He worked at that little burger stand up on highway 9. At one point he was married to UW grad Anna Farris, making them the State of Washington celebrity power couple. They got divorced and he married one of Arnold Scwhartzeneggers daughters.

One is not like the other. So astronaut Mark Kelly is telling us that big SUV are back in style. What a POS.

Re: Wondering why my flight attendants never look like this
When they (rightfully so) changed the rules so that the airlines couldn't push you out of the flight attendant job at 32 years of age, the older stews came back and the change was pretty stark. It went from young and vibrant to older and sometimes cranky. By the 90's it was no longer a glamor job for young females and the planes became so big and cramped that travel turned into a nightmare.
Flying into Taiwan in the 80's was something. The women were incredibly attractive and nice, and the aircraft had room even in the economy class section at the back of the plane. First class was incredible service. On one trip I played blackjack all night with the three first class attendants after everyone was asleep. Was so hung over the next day I just wanted to hit the hotel and sleep.
Flew into Seoul on a 747 and in the circular bar upstairs I played back gammon with the two attendants all night long. Very attractive women but they had time to hang with passengers back then. If you like Asian women (as Derek surely does), that was the place to fly to back in the day. Every one of those women were 9's.
I have over 8 million flight miles over my career and I absolutely hate to fly any more. Its just a shit show, although I don't miss the smoking on a plane (stopped in about 1987 I believe), everything else about the whole experience has eroded to shit.

Re: Progress Check In
Down to 180 pounds
I walked 14 miles one day, but generally have been walking 3-7 most days as opposed to 0-3 like I used to, also at 1350 calories Sunday and 1710 yesterday…and now I am hungry…
I think I was 190 at one point in September
I'd like to get down to 165 pounds, which hasn't happened since I was 22 or so
Drinking is still a work in progress, I had a pretty stressful 2023 and fell off the wagon a bit
Some months I hit my goal, many I don't
