ummm, I do have my boundaries!!

...talk about cleansing..yeah well there ya go...

Amen, brother! When Pep talked about explaining the "steps", my first thought was, "Quick ones...to the facilities...frequently!"

Like I said, though, this procedure indirectly led to the discovery of my prostate cancer as early as it occurred.

See??? Mel?? Hmmm??

as i stand in my classroom and gaze at the young men whose minds i am supposed to be filling with knowledge, i often feel that this is what i sound like! thanks for the clip. i can use it

Cmon Mel...

Make the appointment.

It really is easier than you think..

Love ya Gal..Don't be a chicken..

Ok dropping it now cuz it is personal..but, it is important

Someone must have had the not-so-appropriately-named Go Litely.

yah, yah, you people just want to see Cruella put it where the sun don't shine!!

Thanks for the concern. I will run it by doctor when I see her in February and see how hard she pushes this time. She can be a pushy broad, but I am pushier!

This time!?!?!?!?


It's been suggested before?


Oy, vay!


This from the lady who is so insistant on following the advice of an expert!

If you think that about me, you don't know me!! If I follow anyone's advice they have to PROVE to me they know what they are talking about. My last doctor said "God help whoever gets you for a patient!!" whatevah!

Uh oh, when a doctor starts praying...Lol

...they have to PROVE to me they know what they are talking about.

Like I said, though, this procedure indirectly led to the discovery of my prostate cancer as early as it occurred.

What proof would you require?

He was a wonderful doctor and just perfect for me. I moved to a new city and don't have him anymore. He was a feisty eye-talian who was also a voracious researcher like me. We had some big debates, and sometimes he won, and sometimes I won. I would go into my appointments armed with books, studies, articles to prove my point and sometimes he agreed with me and sometimes he would say "lets just run a test and see if you are right about that."

One time I had put on alot of weight for absolutely no apparent reason and he kept trying to tell me I was "pre-diabetic." I just wouldn't believe it because I don't eat junk food. I went to another endo and he was just a moron. He said you are just getting old, deal with it and then told me something incredibly inaccurate about a particular diet. I told my eye-talian Dr about this and he laughed "that poor bast*ard had no idea what he getting into!"

So I went to the top endo weight specialist in our huge city and she told me "oh you are pre-diabetic. That is why you have put on weight." She explained that diabetes can be genetic and that if I had not been on such a clean diet for years I would likely be a full blown diabetic. So in that case, I knew just enough to be dangerous BUT I eventually went on the appropriate medicine, and lo and behold, I lost the weight! I went back to my eye-talian GP and told him all this and admitted he was right. I miss that rascal!

To be honest, I have not researched that procedure because I find the very notion soooo distasteful.

I should know better...

Either that, or you secretly like:

The alternative is less tasteful.

I might be a little slow on the uptake, however, when I arrived here it was a dramatically different environment. When you arrived, there were many posters here to help you because this was a controlled learning environment, rather than a chat board where psychobabble reigned supreme and "all opinions are equal." "Lurve Languages" and every other dog and cat program was discussed here instead of MB. The language of psychobabble reigned supreme.

An actual recovered marriage was as rare as sasquatch on this board. Wayward bullies were treated like little prima donnas and allowed to bully and intimidate betrayed spouses. The first week I posted here, I was chastised by a WW for snooping and another WW started a call out thread to chastise me - by name - for saying "it was nice seeing a truly remorseful WH." [I was jumped on for making a "DJ" - saying something nice about one wayward was apparently an insult to the others ] No one defended me either. It was only after me and several others went to the MB weekend in 2007 that MB became widely discussed and understood. The board has made a dramatic transformation since 2008.

So perhaps I am slow on the uptake, but I worked hard to ensure the board was a completely different environment when *YOU* arrived. No one did that for me.

edited to add: a few of those years were spent running off the wayward trolls who used to attack this board. One of those years I was moderated 103 times!

I find the very notion soooo distasteful.

(My last word on this subject - promise!)

Shall I describe instead enduring a prostate biopsy?
If you're squeamish, don't follow the arrow!



Same mechanics, but
- done while you're awake,
- with a larger "business end",
- and twelve little needles shot through the separating membranes, one....at....a....time!

And, oh by the way, it was known what the all-but-certain result was to be, so I endured that just to verify and "size" the BAD NEWS!

I am listening, Neverguessed, and I do very much appreciate your concern.

Can you say..colostomy bag?

Cmon mel, you know the drill, if you just make believe it will go away..will it? You are smarter than that.

I know you will deal with it next time you see him, and now I am changing the subject...

So once there was a young Bull and an Old Bull standing on a hill looking out over some cows...


and a horny young rooster came up to talk to them.."See any of them pretty young vultures swooping around? Giggity.."

Oh, I don't doubt it.

I've actually seem some (less dramatic) changes in my time here. In the boards, in posters.
