I excise them weekly.

It's a ritual, I think it's more spiritual than gross, but that's just me.

Thankfully only 3 or four have been active and hostile for the last 20 years.

Went into shock while they were trying to get novacaine into one of the fuckers.

But: I got a leg up on physical pain. I'll bet you do too.....

Just had mom's ceremony today, can't remember if I brought you by the house or not but I think you may have met her.

Anyway, dad went in February, mom on May 24.

We're dropping like flies. Cousin Randy is in worse shape than anyone- he has a softball or so larger colon growth that the doctors don't even want to look at.

Peace, brother.

Sorry for your loss, my great friend, please take care of yourself.

Let me know if I can listen or laugh.

I can do both.

Sounds odd but I've always liked the sound of English Indian accents. Similar to English accents.

Blood samples and vaccinations are fine now. But watching that needle was hard.

But my wife convinced a surgeon to let her watch while they cut her open to remove screws from her bones. I'll bet 99.9% of people in her situation opt for general anesthesia if it's even a question.

I'm somewhat functional when I'm the only one around to deal with blood and guts and the adrenalin is flowing, but afterwards I always get sick. Get the job done, puke later. I never volunteer for that sort of stuff.

I used to work with transplant techs. Best people in the world, but they are different. I tried not to think too much about what was in the coolers they handed me or how they got it.

Like she had screws because of a previous serious break? Umm... no thanks. Put me to fucking sleep!

And she brought home the screws as a souvenir.

My sister is a paramedic and she's like that too.
