  1. Bank of America does 10’s, 20’s, and hundreds. I remember the mid-seventies, when you got fives and tens.
  2. My fraternity's annual meeting was last weekend. Very poorly attended, but Bob, class of '69, was there. Bob is one of those men who has looked the same for the past 45 years. He's always been attractive. Never married, but there are several in 1969-1977 who never got married. Gay? Don't know. But I'd be willing to date and find out ...
  3. Thank goodness they didn't specify nipples!
  4. Early in his career he was in In Living Color. Some if his best work, like, forever.
  5. I remember from my German teacher of three years: "Sie" isn't so much formal as the default second person. One uses it for one's colleagues. acquaintances, and just about anyone who isn't either family and/or in bed with you. "Du" is remarkable familiar. "Shewwif! Oh, Du! DU!" in Blazing Saddles is a fine example thereof. I don't remember if she was Austrian or German, only that she's Teutonic. So that brings us to a problem and solution. Say the CEO of an automobile company ... you know, a little like Volkswagen / Porsche / Audi / Bentley ... say he's on the assembly floor and wants know what a workman is doing. "Sie" is woefully inadequate. as he is beneath you, and "Du", well ... just doesn't cut it, either. So what does Herr Obergeschäftsführer do? He says, "Was machts Er?" ... "What is he making?" Idiomatic, but it works.
  6. I'm in the market for a new Primary physician. One of my criteria is that they must be ready, able, and willing to prescribe opiates as needed. I read Gar1eths post above, and know that Tessalon and dextromethorphan are completely ineffective when i have bronchitis. Codeine works, and incredibly well. I had a hip replacement, and could not explain to the bloody Nurse that I wasn't "escaping" my analgesia; rather, I wasn't getting enough analgesia. I didn't spend half-a-year training in Pain Management, nor doing Acute Pain Management for six years, without learning something. And if anyone is still prescribing "oxycodone 5 mg with APAP 325 mg," point them to me so I can teach them the error of their ways. I had a particularly intelligent Orthopedic surgeon, perform my knee replacement. I was on a low-dose opioid analgesic (like oxycodone 5 mg thrice daily) prior to surgery. He told me post operative analgesia would be a problem. Post-op: 15 mg oxycodone every three hours, was just about right. For like 6 weeks. My Surgeon said he would prescribe as much as needed, along wiht Physical Therapy, for three months, then it was gone.Over. Don't even bother. And so I was. Part of the "opioid crisis" is lack of oversight by the prescribing physician. In my Pain Clinic, we paid expecial attention to the patient's opioid consumption and interactions regarding any additional requests for medications. But we saw thirty patients a day. The "crisis" is one of bureaucracy. It is not inappropriate medicine.
  7. lemme see ... ... when I was on a roadtrip with someone, we'd have so much fun that Maid Service would have to shoo us out ... ... when the Maid service had to move us to another room because of carpet cleaning ...
  8. PC (hewlett packard), windows 10, latest firefox
  9. I was with an escort ... our first time meeting. We discussed pharmacology, and he tossed a medicine bottle at me ... with his real name on it. Another fellow ... I'm not sure if I was tole, but we've traveled far and wide, and I knew his name early.
  10. In honour of our Chief Cook and Bottle Washer: Guy Fawkes Night
  11. If I click on a link internally on the forum, I get logged out. Today, I clicked on "Home" and got logged out. HELP!
  12. I never found Collin particularly appealing,but his rant definitely puts him in the "never" column for me.
  13. I am particularly adept at goofing up antecedents. I agree, I can’t figure out if the Beau has the Paraguayan friends or not.
  14. My apologies if I missed the boat: Is this guy your ex? If not, why did you and your ex break up? And yes, kick his sorry ass out NOW; count the spoons; and have the locks changed.
  15. No "east"suburbs in Boston. Nor in Chicago, either.
  16. Step siblings and siblings are 7 in total, of whom two are gay. My step sister is married for economic reasons.
  17. I met a fellow at the airport who said exactly the above. He felt it was due to too many McDonald Douglas execs. I would have learned more, but he was mansplaining it all to me and insulting my intelligence.
  18. I found this site years ago ... hasn't been updated in 7 years, but ... nice, http://blackdogue.net/
  19. When I was in training as an anesthesiologist, we kept it on the shelves. Of course, then it was even a scheduled substance. Now it's Class III in the U.S. On the other hand, we keptk sodium thiopental aka pentothal in the open too, and it WAS Class III. The times, how they change. And marijuana, previously Class I (I guess it still is, Federally) is essentially OTC. O Tempora! O Mores!
  20. OMG I’ve died and give to heaven,
  21. I was sitting across from one of our residents in the O.R. lounge. The path to the men’s locker room was just to our side. I watched him cruise one of the surgical Residents, following him with his eyes. I then caught his eyes. “I saw that,” I said. The look of shear panic was priceless. Then I smiled, he called me a bastard, and we both laughed.
