My Dad has been saying that for decades. Where's it from?

I find it much easier to buy a 10 lb chicken from the farm down the road, where I can go and pick out the little sprinter that I want to cook up. I swear, all that running and fresh air makes them so TASTY!

Your turkeys don't get to run? Well, what do they do all day?

Wooo! Cuba has the best wakeboarding!

Ditto here, except replace "Cold Urticaria" with "Juvenile Non-Rheumatoid Idiopathic Arthritis" which so far has resisted any and all treatments. The doctor called it 'growing pains' for six months while he slowly lost the ability to walk, or even stand, and when the coincidence with the MMR jab was mentioned, it was dismissed outright... of course. He's now basically on chemo drugs, and suffering all THOSE side effects.

But at least he doesn't have the measels!

Basically, you do what you think others want you to do. This... this is not news.

However, it's good to see it being properly analyzed. I'll need at least an hour to think about this.

Sirius car radio: $50 as a present.

New car stereo: $200 and up, plus having to have a different digital music player for each group: Just me, me and my wife, and the whole family.

What do you think this is, a capitalist free-market nation? America is a socialist country, otherwise it wouldn't be redistributing fantastic gobs of wealth like this, to the truly needy car companies.

But to provide anecdotal evidence that kids are more violent because they pay non-violent games or less violent games is pretty ridiculous.

I agree. When someone does that, I'll let you know.

Where I live, we don't even get radio station reception at my house, so this is a good way to get lots of music, and national radio broadcasts, in my car, whenever I want. Or I can change the stations depending who's in the car with me. Somehow, this seems a lot less of a hassle than getting an iPhone just to hear some tunes.

You can't post here! This is bat country.

I have gone to the hospital, but they best they can tell me is "inconclusive". I might have it, I might not, and unless I spend something like 72 hours hooked up to an EEG and deprived of sleep, they won't be able to tell for sure, and even if they get a positive hit, the medication sounds worse than the condition.

I just want to be taken seriously by the people who have made it their life's mission to make sick people feel better. *grumble* Still, these are the same doctors who said for six months that my son had "growing pains", before FINALLY giving him a blood test and finding out "Oh, hey, your son has a rare idiopathic form of juvenile arthritis, and he'll be on medication and physiotherapy for the next four years. If only we had caught it sooner."

Because doctors know that people can often search for stuff like this on the internet, many medical professionals will IMMEDIATE ignore any and all such comments or queries. I've come to three doctors now with information I found in medical journals and on the internet which match my symptoms (migraines, blackouts, audio and visual hallucinations, seizures, fugue states... basically, every facet of certain kinds of epilepsy). All three doctors have told me, in various ways, that since I found this information myself, it's clearly NOT what I have.

I continue to have blackouts and seizures, and continue to go untreated, because unless I have a seizure in my doctor's office, he'll just assume I'm trying to get medication out of him.

I call it "Smug Superioritis".

Our plan is to give him free health care and poutine, and see which one wins.
