I remember this one!

neeeed mooooneeeey

your friends are so mean not letting you nab it lol

I envy you. I wish I could hang with the Mob.

You just need Pitch forks and torches .... wait.. wrong mob... was it pin striped suits and a gangsters mall?

hmmm

No...pitchforks and torches are usually coming at me. I think the Tucson Mob would trade in pinstripes for camo.

I need to get my Mob's straight.

This may help.

It'd be my honor when the Mob considers me "honorary" or an "associate".

Cool.. the more you know.

I hung around the Mob back in the late 90s turn of the century when they had ZonieCon. Out of the entire fandom, they were the ONLY group I felt at home and comfortable around.

Heh, so you gotta feed the 1911, and can't even stop to get your own money. What a bunch of jerks.

So how is Mitch doing? I recall a buddy of mine checking Mitch's blood sugar and found it was through the roof, indicating he was a diabetic. Did he ever get to the doctor? Because, you know, ignoring it won't make it go away.

All too true.

Yeah, and he seems to have sleep apnia, too. I've offered to pay for a full doctor's checkup for Mitch, but he refused it. Even seemed to take it as some sort of insult. Dunno why - I would much rather know than not know.

If he's sleepy or lethargic, it's not sleep apnea. It's a result of dangerously high blood glucose levels. If he fails to heed the warning signs, he risks falling into a diabetic coma or worse.

Is he drinking a lot and eating a lot (more than usual)? Ask him how he'd like to have his kidneys stop working, or if the idea of going blind overnight sounds like fun. The longer he waits to address this problem, the less likely he is to continue living, quite simply.

Tell him I said to quit fucking around. Seriously, man

I have diabetes and sleep apnea. Fatigue can be caused by diabetes, but afternoon drowsies are frequently a symptom of sleep apnea. So is heavy snoring, and if the snoring is interrupted it's a red flag.

Neither are fun, and both can be life-threatening. Don't know if you want to try to pay for a sleep study, though, they tend to run about $1500.

As to the refusal, I can understand it. I was in denial for a long time on my apnea and fought the idea of a CPAP tooth and nail for years. (I've been using it for several years now and won't attempt to sleep without it any more, the difference is that profound.) The diabetes wasn't really that big a surprise, it runs in the family. It's still unpleasant.

Geeze, I guess I was expecting a day in the life of Karno to have a few more things like rockets or lasers.... or ROCKET LASERS!

or even drawing something

re bug bites-- could be bedbugs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedbug
Nearly impossible to get rid of the suckers-- cleaning and vacumning won't help because they hide in cracks and behind wall outlets. You do so much traveling you could have easily gotten some unwelcome hitchikers in your luggage.

Secondary possibility is a 'kissing bug': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_bug although I'm not sure how common or active they are this time of year.

If you don't mind the smell, putting some bug repellant on before going to bed might help.

If its fleas, I hear there's a powder you can put on your bed to kill them. It's basically fine silicate shards. They land in it and breathe it in and the shards just tear up all their gills. Just be sure to clean it off your bed before you sleep on it, though. Especially if you have pets.

Garlic also helps...

they're making quite a comeback now exterminators have switched to species-specific pesticides. The bedbugs have spent the last 40 years on chicken farms, acquiring pesticide resistance

And they're vey easy to pick uip in secondhand furniture or from hotels

We have both kinds of bugs locally, though we get more kissing bugs where I live, in the mountains, thanks to packrats. There is a service that brings a bedbug-sniffing dog to your home, to root the little suckers out.

you figure out what was biting you?

I can;t imagine ANYONE calling you a baby!

I hear that about the DVD's. Just got the original Texas Chainsaw Massacer, The original Wickerman, and the 1980's remake of The Thing. Now got to find the time to watch them. :b

Not enough time? More like not enough MONEY (still got a laundry list of DVDs to buy). I still dont have enough money to buy me CD's of bands I want, even though I got plenty of time to listen to them.

youd think there would always be time for money
