i often wonder what y'all look like. well, the ones that never posted in that one thread

Congrats to Longdrive


My finger now looks like a fuckin humpback whale! If it were a spider bite I like the advice I was given but I don't see anything that looks like a bite. Just more looks like a huge cyst where my knuckle is, slightly red, but fading. I can bend my finger about 1/8 of what I should be able. It looks like a broken finger would, but I did nothing that could have broke it and had no instance where I felt any sudden pain. Just gradually got worse.

Did it, you better be right.

Judging by the screams, someone is torturing cats in my neighborhood.

Seriously, have you considered getting the thing looked at by a doctor or nurse or someone in Med School or something? That doesn't sound good.

Having a finger that looks like a humpback whale is no way to go through life son.

Is there a toggle in word such pasted text will reformat to the document you're working in rather than bring the size and font from wherever you got it?

That could very easily be a staph infection. You really do need to get that looked at. If you can't get to see anyone today (as it's a Sunday) you might try a warm compress. But be very, very, very careful about any cross-contamination. Don't use anyone else's towels, etc. Do your laundry in hot for the next week or so.

I third the rec to get it looked at RIGHT AWAY!!! The further away it is on your body, the harder it is to kill an infection. So finger/toes are the furthest extremities.

Seriously, you could wait to see your doctor, but if you can afford the emergency room visit, I'd try that instead. You may have to wait around a bit, but you'll get quicker treatment than getting a doctor's appointment on a Monday during cold/flu season.

So the gym I go to has hired two hot babes to work there. Will this increase my motivation to work out? I think it might.

Are urgent care clinics typically open now? Here's where having my doctor's home number is a distinct advantage.

I think you have to use the paste options 'button' that appears after you paste the text.

Edit - Paste Special - Unformatted Text

you may be able to right-click and Paste Special, but that might depend on your version of Word

I've never used an Urgent Care center, so I don't really know even where to find one. But hospital = emergency room.

I think rod barajas and Rob Bironas should get together and hang out and stuff and they should calll their super cool exclusive club rod's bironajas.

Damn you size 13 feet!

I knew I should have turned my phone off.

drunk text?

Been putting off explaining to this girl that I don't want to go out again for a week.

Is this the biker chick?

Yeah. It didn't work out.

same as textile chick?
