Aww!! I thought you meant a good kinda 'sucky'. Y'know, like.....'love you long time' kind of sucky.

But yeah...though things aren't too terribly comfortable.

If ONLY it WAS a sukie-sukie type day--but I mostly get the other kind.

We shall have to work on that.

No more Voyager for you.

That's a shame...I love Star Trek. Of course, I've followed it from the early 70s...

Before I became a furry artist, I used to go to all the local fantasy and sci/fi cons. And I would be in the art show with drawings and paintings of ST characters...and various Drs Who...

Let me tell you--furries are not any more freaky than any of the other genre enthusiasts--and much less so than some. But I enjoy them all, I think, BECAUSE of their willingness to march to that slightly off-kilter drummer.

^0^

Hope you get better soon... *hug*.... there’s something from me to cheer you up...

Thanks! Hugs are always excepted, however I feel!

*Hug!*

I told ye to get it checked out as soon as possible, but did you pay any attention? Nooo Dx Oh well, at least you didn't wait any longer. Hope you feel better soon about it. Right now I have drank a bottle o' whiskey and perhaps I should just log off <<; Feelin' a bit funny and stuff, ye know? :3

Bel has more clout than you. She yelled at me. Honestly though--I wasn't really all that concerned about it earlier in the week...it's when it started *deleted for good taste* and started hurting so much that I got spooked.

im sorry puppy. i feel you pain....kinda. im all sore from a hard workout lastnight and both my arms dont want to move any hire then...well they just dont want to move. so we can be in pain together. YAY

That's more the kind of pain I probably need!

then come to the gym with me.

LOL Oh? Do you live in Tacoma? I don't think a virtual gym will help me--wouldn't it be cool if it did though??

tacoma washington???? lol DAMN i used to live like 5 mins from there.

But not anymore, huh?

v..v no not anymore. i loved washington

Well it's good you got it checked out and taken care of, looks like that's one of those nasty maladies that if it's left untreated could be life threatening. O.o; Hope you recover well enough from that.

Oh, I'm sure I'll live...I usually do when something like this hits me. It's more a question of will I want to live!?!

I hope you can answer yes to that question.

wishes for a fast recovery sir

SIR? You'd better be twelve! ^0^ Thanks, mate!

I'm sorry--that last reply came off a bit assholy I think. I was just making an age joke about being called "sir". (I'm afraid I'll never get used to being called "sir".)

I appreciate your good wishes! ^0^

no offense taken sir... ans yes i adress everyone... older or younger as sir or ma'am acording to gender... its a thing embeded on the genetic fabric

That must be really frustrating. Being sick is the worst.

Yeah, sick sucks!

Hope you get well soon and that it doesn't turn out to be erysipelas instead of cellulitis :/

Oh goody--another word to look up.

At least it is not Nercotizing Phashiitis.
If you with to get rid of infected cells faster a blow torch, a cheese grater, and a belt sanders can be used, but only if you have ingested lots of alchahol and various narcotics.

Oh thanks a lot! Don't worry, I'm sure it won't be anything like that--but if it can get Kermit, it can get ANYBODY!

ok serious now, Hydrogen peroxide works if your do desire to remove infected cells faster, but dont over do it.

Actually--I don't think you're supposed to use hydrogen peroxide on open wounds. I did actually use it early on, before it got so bad.

Erf, sounds sucky. =/ *snugs* Get better soon, hon.

Thanks, cuteness. *snugs back!*

Hm, I think I've had something similar recently, actually - Except this sounds worse. :/

*more hugs for the puppy* I hope it will pass soon.

It wasn't so bad a couple of days ago...just irritating. *sigh* Thanks for the hugs!

God did not say anything concerning descriptive words, that was the Victorian age that reinterpreted the Bible. And also for all you thumpers out there it also says nothing about homosexuality being wrong, no where in the bible does it state that. It states homosexual rape is wrong just like rape in general. yeah i remember the parable fairy tale about the two guys in Sodom and Gomorrah, the fable really about the bad choice of building sites in that Sodom was built over a slumbering volcano.

That was extra i know, sorry but that was to hedge off the usual nay sayers before they have something to argue.

As for your sore boil i think they were called once, just don't mess with it the next time. after i stopped eatring greasy and sweet foods all the time i stopped getting thouse. Another name for them when they reoccur is called Gout. It is your body saying, "you wanna eat this stuff, fine i'll give you more of these things until you start eating right!" kind of warning.

eat less sugar and grease dude, stay healthy k?

Yeah, both History AND Mythology are written by the assholes in charge! I hadn't heard that about Sodom, but it wouldn't surprise me that they'd use a horrible disaster to scare the masses to church. It's what they do--all of them.

Meanwhile, this isn't a boil of any kind--it never became a pustule, it went from bad zit right to weeping sore. Also--I'd have to GET healthy before I could STAY healthy, but I take your meaning.

*hugs*

That sucks, Deathpuppy. I hope it heals well, and that you manage to stay healthy there-after.

******

Mericus: I do believe you need to study the story of Sodom and Gomorrah a bit more thoroughly; while the Jordan valley does lie on a fault, there's been no volcano near it for about 4000 years. Wikipedia has a very good article on it (one that is remarkably free from gay-bashing, even).

More generally, the Bible is against sexual relations outside (a male-female) marriage. Logically that includes homosexual activity. Just saying.

On another note, the Bible is considerably more liberated than those stuffy Victorians liked to think. Just a few examples: the 'Song of Solomon' is pretty erotic poetry, and on the opposite tack Ezekiel 23 is very crude. And when Abraham says to Eliezer in Genesis 24:3 "Put your hand under my thigh" he means 'put your hand near my twig and berries' (there's another for your collection, Deathpuppy).

Anyway, this is far off-topic as I'll get here, if anyone wants to discuss this, feel free to note me.

i base my viewpoint on an archeologist that researched the area around the dead sea and found artifacts as well as volcanic pumise in the area claimed to be the site of sodom.
Also i have a bible dictionary that has fift-five accredetided PHd's and master deggreed scholars that clearly state that NO where does the bible specifically state that homosexuality is against God's laws. But only that Homosexual rape was. i tend to state things when i have proof. The scholars are learned men of the bible and of multiple ancient languages, i tend to believe them more than simple hearsay from bible thumpers trying to give me a morailty justification for their draconian views. No offense intended by the way.

Besides--4000 years ago sounds about right. It happened somewhere between Genesis (which of course was supposed to be 6000 years ago) and Jesus.

Still, my personal problem with religion isn't neccesarily the Bible itself--only the way it's used to justify devisiveness and bigotry. The Bible is a mishmash of mythology, literature and history, but it ISN'T absolute truth, because there's no such thing.

If Christians (or Muslims if that's your bent) really are the only ones who get to go to Heaven--what an incredibly sucky place it must be.

I just can't go along with beliefs that put arbitrary dogmatic practices over the actually worth of people's lives and hearts.

that is exactly what the bible is. mostly it is also incomplete in the usual form of only 66 books. there are another 70 not included.
But then most of the bible is the way it is to promote a sectarian view, not history and wisdom from what others did in dire sircumstances. But ione major statement conncerning everything, all religious books are written by men, (or women). NONE are written by God, therefore anyone that uses the bible or the Koran or the Tibetan book of the dead to purport their religious views as being superior cannot found their statements upon God's actual words. The only way to get that is by direct communication to God, or through a bridge. In most people through your dreams or through learning how to purify your soul to get to the higher planes, otherwise you get only the mishmash of having only faith based this guy a long time ago supposedly did this or that in his perdictament. I had a preacher recently tell me that i did not have any foundation for what i was saying and then he asked me the question what will i say if i am brought before God and am awaiting to be admitted to heaven or cast out into hell, i answered that which i believe to be true. we as humans are here to individually make ourselves higher than when we were born, that is make our spirits a higfher grade so that when we dissolve ourselves back into the creator he is made greater.
The preacher said that he would prostarte himself before god and basically did the i am holier than thou charade thing. to which i said Oh i see you wanted me to reiterate that old sunday school teaching instead of what i actually have found out to be the truth via my own experiences. So i said then maybe since you are so knowledgable about the 'word of the bible' and answer this one question i have. after Cain killed his brother and was cast out from the sight of god, he took a wife i said who was that?
he laughed because without using the same method that i used to state my beliefs upon ie the cabballa there is no way he can answer that question!
anyway sorry to load up you Owie post with goop.

yay im post #14 ^^ hope your leg gets better i know its a little late to be saying it or i probably allready have but get better you sexy pup you ^^

Thanks babe--it's never too late to wish someone well. Unless they're dead... -0^

Wishing you good courage ;o)

Oh I've got plenty of courage! As long as it doesn't hurt...then I squeal like a little girl!

^0^

hope u recover soon :)

Thanks... This is the last post I need to respond to--good thing! I don't think I can perch on the edge of this deskchair any longer!

ur welcome man :)
oh and u better go lie down or something if its hurting then?

I would be wise to ask your doctor to send some of the pus into a lab for antibiotic sensitivity testing. Due to $500,000,000+ FDA mandated drug approval costs, there are very few new antibiotics, and high levels of antibiotic resistance have developed. Empiracal therapy (simply giving the patient a broad spectrum antibiotic) is no longer adequate. If the inflamed mass is infected, delay in finding an effective drug could be dangerous. An antibiotic susceptibility test eliminates potentially disasterous guesses.

LOL Is there ANYTHING you don't know a whole lot about? Seriously, though--the PA did take a swab to biopsy, but mostly as a secondary thing. In the meantime I'm on fairly strong antibiotics...I guess. Also, my doctor has clinic duty tommorow--I may pay him a visit!

That would be a very good idea. High rates of antibiotic resistance to what until recently were generally effective antibiotics has become a scandal in the medical profession. Drug approval costs are so high that pharmaceutical firms MUST focus on drugs that are taken every day for many years, rather than only for a few days to a couple of weeks.

When the anthrax attack followed 9/11, the federalies threatened the Cipro patent owner that their patent would be revoked unless they sold the feds huge amounts of the antibiotic at far below market prices. Which the company did. The message is clear: don't invest money in antibiotic development and approval...

Interesting...

I went to the doctor today and he gave me a new antibiotic perscription that cost $50! The Insurance paid over a hundred on it, so this drug costs OVER $150 retail. I'm pretty sure it don't cost anywhere near that much to produce. Of course, I can't complain--he also gave me a percoset perscription. @0@

*hugs you*
