Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 09 Mar 08 - 10:40 PM Not in Dallas, no. But I was at Ft. Riley, Kansas when JFK got shot. Later on I visited Dallas and went to the plaza and the school book building and all that. Decided that I could have nailed Kennedy...the range wasn't all that great and a telescopic sight was used; using optical sights was (and is) to my mind sort of cheating. I've been to the May 4 shooting site so many times I lost count. Where ever I go, people die. Maybe I should change deodorant? |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 10 Mar 08 - 01:57 PM It ain't the purdy sharpeness of the knife, ol buddy... It this thing where folks die when you come 'round that has me more than a little concerned about you doin' the cuttin'... BTW... MRI tomorrow in Charlottesville and I have "1 or 2" valium I'm 'sposed to take before it... I ain't never taken no valium so I ain't too sure as to whether to take one or both them??? I don't want to O.D., 'er nuthin'... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Mar 08 - 02:12 PM Oh well shitfire......Lemmee give you something to really worry about then! I went in for an odd pain in my back and was sent to te hospital where they admitted me and gave me "Versed" (pronounced ver-SAID), a relative of valium which is the drug of choice in most hospitals for short term pain relief. That's about the last thing I remember for the next week as I had exactly the opposite reaction to the drug. Instead of being calming and sleepy, I became wired up and even combative! My vital signs went all over the place and I was Life-Flighted to Columbus where they spent several hours getting my body under control, ending up putting me in a medically induced coma. I had an aortic dissection which stopped just shy of the heart and things were touch and go for a week or so. Go back to threads from April and May of 1999 and you can read all about it! Now there's a lot more to the story, but that ought to be enough to make you blow a load in your pants and run off and hide in the woods. Go ahead and take a handful............LOL............. BTW, you have some 2 inch valium? How the hell could you swallow it? Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 10 Mar 08 - 05:04 PM Valium's cool, but if you take 'em let the P-Vine (or somebody else) drive. Don't do it yourself. Trust me on this. Don't go back to work on the bomb squad right away, either. Don't let Spaw talk you out of it, either. That was only an attention-getting device he tried.* *Worked, too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 10 Mar 08 - 05:42 PM First of all, these valiums ain't two inches... They small... But so was LSD... Nevrmind the LSD thing... I think I'll just take one of 'um and keep the other 'round if I like the effects... Speakin' of drugs, looks as if I have some burnable evidence coming my way which is a good thing... I ain't had none in months and sho nuff could burn a little just fir grins... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Richard Bridge Date: 10 Mar 08 - 07:03 PM Go by body weight. If you are over 180 pounds (a little under 13 stone) take two. If you are under 140 pounds (10 stone) take one. In between it is a matter of judgment. As said above, NOT before driving! Your other combustibles are good for pain control and relaxation too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Janie Date: 11 Mar 08 - 12:05 AM Last time I had valium was when I got that colonoscopy (or whatever it's called) they give you for your 50th birthday present. Dani and the nurse kept my feet on the ground as I floated out to the car to be poured into the passenger seat upon completion of this rite of passage. I gave the nurse a dopey smile as she settled me in the car and said "Gee, I haven't felt this way since...since....." "College." She kindly finished my sentence for me, and patted me on the head. Take 2 if you are claustrophobic at all. Otherwise, save them for me when I come up to visit after you ain't crippled no more:>) |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Mar 08 - 01:23 AM Versed is HORRIBLE if you have a reaction to it. I have a reaction to it. First time was for an outpatient surgery, an hour or so. I felt like I had a lead-weight hat on when I "woke." A friend was there to take me home; I slept for 24 hours straight through before I could manage to get up and move around. What a horrible hangover that was. When they had wheeled me in for the first surgery I hadn't realize what they'd given me, and I'd awakened briefly as they were getting ready for the regular anaesthesia, and I asked why they didn't have the classical station on the radio, then I was out again. I foolishly mentioned this ten days later when the big surgery (hysterectomy for a clear margin) went down. "We'll take care of that," he said. Boy, did he. They kept me over a full extra day in the hospital they were so alarmed by how out of it I was. Took a couple of more days of sleep to wake up. Next time I had surgery was a couple of years later, but in the interim I'd had an occasion to talk to a surgical nurse. She clued me in to the Versed. I researched it, they had used it, so I made sure my bunionectomy was free of Versed. My friend and daughter picked me up afterward and we all sat and talked and happily watched a movie that evening after dinner. What a world of difference! If you research the stuff you'll find a lot of unpleasant side effects, like memory loss, along with the hangover. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Amos Date: 11 Mar 08 - 09:46 AM Except, Rapaire, that's not how it is properly spelled. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 11 Mar 08 - 12:45 PM I misspelled the word "Hi"?? Okay, tell him "Hello" for me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 11 Mar 08 - 06:04 PM The valium din't do much good but I got thru the sumabichin' MRI... I can't lie (lay) flat without strakin' pain down my right arm so I had to hold it over my head for the duration... Right now, everything hurts... They said that it would take a week to get the MRI read so I got 'um to burn a CD of it and sent it "Next Day" to the surgeon in Winchester to read so maybe by tomorrow I'll have a diagnosis and recommendation??? I din't run into God all day, Rap, but if I had I woulda said "Hey" fir ya... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 11 Mar 08 - 06:25 PM Well, you did good. Just remember what Sister Merry Whips told me back in grade school: Offer it up for the good of your soul! (She also told...never mind, it's off the topic.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Mar 08 - 09:11 AM Okay, Bobert. Today it's my turn. 12:30 p.m. your time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 08 - 09:25 AM Well, Rap... Yers outta be a walk (ouch) in the park compared to what I endured but I hope it goes well fir ya and keep in mind that ol' Boberdz got a Boy Scout knife and some frequent flier miles to use up... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Mar 08 - 05:57 PM I went to the MRI place and they took my pants away. I was put on a big ol' table and this C-clamp like thing put around my left knee. It made sounds like a jackhammer only not as loud and then clicked and whirred and they moved me around some more. My leg was put into something that prevented it from moving around, things were put along side me to stop me from rolling around (and off the table), and I went to sleep. No drugs; I just took a nap for an hour or so and they were done. I saw some pictures of my knee right away and I gotta say, I got some good lookin' knees! The tech said that she "didn't see anything that jumps out at me" but the pix will be reviewed by a radiologist and I go to see the Doc next Tuesday for the news. They gave me my pants back before I left, too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Sorcha Date: 12 Mar 08 - 06:02 PM Pants is a good thing, Rap! Now, when I get to go for the osteoporosis test, I get a whole paper outfit! Paper shorts, paper top (of COURSE it opens in front....) Last time I kept the outfit and wore it at the lake camping! LOL! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 08 - 06:11 PM I dare you to wear it to the Getaway, Sorch... Glad that things went well with yers, Rap... Did yers make a sound that sounded like a lick from a Who song... Mine did... I get my diagnosis tomorrow... I'd bet it's a herniated disc 'cause my arm is about on fire with tingles and pain and what I read on the internet that's generally a herniated disc... Fun... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Mar 08 - 06:57 PM Yeah, it did. Mostly it sounded like a jackhammer, getting softer and then doing that lick. Then the jackhammer agin. Stuff might not "jump out" at the tech, but my knee still hurts like...well, I could do without the hurtin'. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 08 - 07:20 PM Howz about you an' me tradin' ailments fir a couple days, Rap... I'm way behind on my geetar playin'... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Fortunato Date: 12 Mar 08 - 07:24 PM Hey bobert, what's the verdict? If they have to put you down can I have your guitars? sensitively yours, chance PS I hope you live, I can't play the fugin' slide anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 08 - 07:44 PM What, you don't think my geetras is good nuff fir ya??? Huh??? Shoot, they know how to play chords and standard tunin' an' all that stuff... They ain't dummies, 'er nuthin'... I was gonna leave 'um to ya if I croaked but not if yer gonna put 'um in a closet... BTW, I ain't plannin' on croakin'... The P-Vine might have differenter ideas, tho... I think she might have put out a hit contract with Mr. Clifford 'cause he's been up here walkin' the farm with his gun... Says he's hunting groundhogs... Yeah, right... As fir the verdict??? I won't know 'til tommorrow 'er the next day or the day after that... But I'm purdy sure that I have a operation in my near future... That is if Mr. Clifford don't shoot me first... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Mar 08 - 08:10 PM Well Pard, I hope it doesn't come to that but I'm glad to see you got your mind right! Rap......Don't you hate it when you have pain and they can't figure it out? Never a good time. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Mar 08 - 09:11 PM Shucks, I can cause myself all the pain I want without any problem at all. And I'll know what caused it. Like the time a guy cut my leg with a corn knife -- no sweat, I knew what caused it. He even apologized as he tried to stop the bleeding. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: John MacKenzie Date: 13 Mar 08 - 05:40 AM If that's what they use for corns WTF do they use for bunions? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 13 Mar 08 - 09:09 PM One of these. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Sorcha Date: 13 Mar 08 - 09:21 PM There are days when I'd be GLAD to have a chain saw taken to my bunion!!!! I've threatened to cut the damn thing off myself, since the Docs say it's not 'bad enough' to deal with.....!!!!!!! OK, Bobert...it's check in time here. What's the news? PS...bodies ain't what they are cracked up to be. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Mar 08 - 08:46 AM Okay, Bobert. How're ya doin'? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 14 Mar 08 - 09:55 AM Well, right now I'm purdy steamed... The danged "Spinr Clinic" in Winchester has had a CD with the MRI piccures since Wednesday at noon and the doc ain't "read" them yet, or if he has he ain't called... I've called 3 times since Wednesday, talked with various people who say they would leave a note for the doctor??? The American health care sytem is so screwed that we pay out 17% of ur GNP to wait, wait and wait... The worst part about this is that I purdy much know that I've blown out a C-6 disc, I am in constant pain, I have allready decided that I want to have it fixed at UVA hospiatl but have to wait for the yahoos in Winchester to read the friggin' piccure and tell me what I allready know so that I can then get my primary doc to set me up for an appointment witrh the surgeon at UVA... Grrrrrrrr!!! Another week shot to pieces... Meanwhile, I'm supposed to play at a festival the 1st week of May and I haven't played in 2 months now... Grrrrrrrr!!! Meanwhile, Part B, I'm land poor... I have over a half a million dollars worth of real estate on the market and am having to sell my prized '63 Karmann Ghia (to be listed on ebay later today) to pay the high deductibale ($2000) for all this crap... Grrrrrrrr!!! Other than that, it's a beautiful day and one of the locals is here taking down the last of 4 ugly metal feeders (35 feet high) and that will make the back of the farm look great... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Mar 08 - 11:31 AM It's yer punishment fer yer oppression of the poor, downtrodden laboring classes, for tramplin' and grindin' the worker under the iron heel of yer spike-soled boots. Repent, Bobert! Repent now! There is still time! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 14 Mar 08 - 01:40 PM Wait a minute, Rap... "poor, downtrodden laboring class"??? Hey, that's me... I work harder than any sumabich I know and at the rnd of the day what do I have??? Another day older and deeper in debt... But now if you was to buy this house I got built then I couild at least get the debt off me and have a few bucks for workin'[ my butt off for the last year and a half... Yezzir... Be nice to get a pay check... I'm the only sumabich that has worked on building it that ain't been paid... The rest is fat an' happy... Somethin' wrong here... Yeah, yer right... I have made some serious repentable errors in judegment and now the powers at be got me stoved up under their spike-soiled boots... I repent!!! B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 14 Mar 08 - 01:41 PM BTW, Rap... You can buy my Karmann Ghia, too... That'd help... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Mar 08 - 02:26 PM Maybe a Vette but, uh..................Although they do say that the "last 356" was the K-G....................still.................................. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Rapparee Date: 14 Mar 08 - 02:38 PM Well, Bobert, it's like this: the commute to work would take me longer than it did when I lived in Ohio, and that was about an hour each way. Shucks, it'd be longer than if I still worked in Ohio! But ya know, Spaw lives in Ohio (if you kin call that livin') and Tweed lives in someplace like Missabama. Either one of them could buy that house from ya and they could git to work in a lot less time that I could. So acting as agent for the SpawTweed Partnership, LLC, the STPLLC hereby offers you $450,000 and a Captain Midnight Video Decoder Ring for that stuff you're tryin' to dump IF AND ONLY IF it's all* got indoor plumbing. *Including the Kharna...Charmi...car. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Seriously Messed Up.... From: Bobert Date: 14 Mar 08 - 02:39 PM This 'un will flat out stomp a 356, Spawzer... I built it for autocrossing... Okay, it might look harmless but it's set up just right... BTW, I used to have another Ghia that was set up for autocrossing and I would maul the Vettes on shorter courses... The Porsche Club changed some rules the year after I went to Crew, Va. with the it a tore up most of their Porsches... Yeah, they said that the front axles were weak and no VeeDubs could play at their autocross events... I thnk what really pissed 'um off was that my Ghis was primer gray and ugly and they just didn't like getting beat by the hippie in the ugly VW... BTW, for anyone interested, my Ghia will be on ebay by 9:00 tonight and be there for the next 10 days when the auction ends... As for my useless doctor??? He still ain't called... The P-Vine told his nurse that he needed to call this afternoon 'er he might need some doctorin' hisself when she got done with him... B~ |
