You supposed somebody should tell SGAmmo that that last sentence does not make sense?

Aktchuarily, I believe it to be a Loozianner thang.

Ketchup and brown mustard and pickle relish.

An IV using saline? Seems like that would be a little salty for the system. Instead of salt and water, how about a little sugar and water? D5W? That's what they always used on Emergency, before they transported you to Rampart.

The Calvin cartoon mentioned the recommended daily allowance of caffeine. So I figured I would look it up and see how much that was. One site I found, there was a question. What types of foods contain caffeine? Answer - Caffeine can be found naturally in the plants we use to make coffee, tea and chocolate... Funny. I thought the plants we used to make coffee and tea were called coffee and tea.

That reminds me. Late 70s? A dry cereal - Kellogg's corn flakes? - came with freeze dried strawberries mixed with it. You pour on the milk, which reconstituted the strawberries, and you had fresh strawberries with your corn flakes. Theoretically.

I do not believe I have ever had a banana split, so them putting pineapple on one wouldn't call up a good memory. I also never had strawberries and cream. Strawberries and whipped cream, yes, but strawberries and cream has always called to mind a bowl of strawberries with this white liquid on it, as opposed to some strawberries with this white custardy-looking stuff on it.

Of course. There are several doctors on here. Specific medical advice would not be a good thing to question - "I woke up this morning with a temperature of 106 sitting in a puddle of my own poop. Does this sound like I have malaria?" - that's something you probably couldn't answer correctly over a forum. But the reasoning behind the doctor doing such and such - that's a fairly general question which we require just simply a fairly general answer. Although I don't really understand why a gynecologist (at least according to my ex) keep his instruments in the refrigerator.

Anybody ever tried that? Or is it strictly an Aussie thing? I like the recipe for making ice cream from the evaporated milk. But I never thought of dishing up a bowl of diced pineapple and putting ice cream on top. A coworker, at a salad bar one time, made himself up a big bowl of pineapple pieces and chocolate pudding. He seemed to like it. Looked pretty disgusting to me.

I got a Christmas present one year. It looked like an ax. And when I got it unwrapped, it was an ax. They had stuck the handle down inside the tube from wrapping paper. And then they had taken cardboard and just covered up the head. And then wrapped it all up. It looked like something that was supposed to make me think it was an ax. And I spent a good week and a half tried to guess what they had given me, that they were disguising it to look like an ax.

Yeah the vet made a big thing about the blue bandage on her right ankle. When she came home she had a plastic cone, and based on recommendations here I bought her that inflatable donut. And I texted the vet prior to making the purchase to ask her opinion, but she took so long to get back to me that I just went ahead and bought it. And she said it would probably work if it was big enough to cover the area and I sent this picture. I said that I was pretty sure it would block the area from her tongue. And she got right back to me and said that I needed to take that blue bandage off her foot. That blue bandage was holding a piece of cotton, and I presume was covering the hole where the IV went. It loosened as she walked and slid down her foot, and it didn't seem to be causing no problem, but the vet sure wanted me to take it off. As you can see, when it was down by her ankle, he couldn't be causing any problem with the hole. She's quite annoyed with me, as the vet said I had to keep her in the house until the stitches were removed - so she goes out on a leash about three times a day and does her business (instead of just being thrown out the back door when I get up and getting to stay out there and lay in the sun all day) - and there's another week to go.

Actually two questions. Question one. You going to be sewed up, and there's quite a bit of hair in the area. So they shave the hair away. Two weeks later they're going to remove the stitches. Hair has grown back of course. Do they need to remove the hair first? Question 2. When they sew you up they tell you to keep the area dry until the stitches are removed. Why? This isn't about me, this is about my dog. But I assume that the same theory works with both people doctors and vets. Will they have to shave her leg before they take the stitches out, and why isn't she allowed to get it wet? You can see them there on her elbow.

The boy on the bicycle - the girls seem to be all agog at the boy on the bicycle, but I think the one risking his life would be one of them three or four on the ground that he's jumping over. I've read that that one of the airship landing on the aircraft carrier is faked. The old-fashioned Photoshop, where you did it in the dark room instead of on the computer.

Thank you. I'm not really interested in World War I aeronautics, but I'm glad I opened this thread.
