FLUSH YOU BASTARD!..

Giles and H are the coolest 60 year old dudes I "know".  They have killer style and they both are doing what they want to do in life and getting paid to do it.  No I'm not ass kissing I'm just stating  a fact an opinion.

Salud!

We've got a random love thread–or something to that affect-- somewhere, don't we?

@gaseousclay:

don't know what the hell I ate yesterday but I contracted some funky stomach bug and woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain.

Once told my doctor I was in excruciating pain,and he told me I had no right to use that word as I had never been shot.

self righteous and dismissive id say. perception is reality. you were in excruciating pain. who is hey to say otherwise.

i know a guy who got shot and didnt feel much pain. bullet is still there. too close to the heart to remove. through his arm and rib cage. into his chest cavity.

I routinely see people self-reporting pain as 10, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain you can imagine.  I see that as a failure of imagination.

indeed. my gut pain lastnight was enough to wake me from a deep sleep and it came outta nowhere. However, I went to the dentist this past Monday for a cleaning and that was mildly painful – uncomfortable would be more appropriate. There's nothing like having a dental hygenist poke and prod your gums for an hour. good times

Didn't mean to in,anyway, belittle what you went through. Just sharing the memory,that got jogged, of what a doctor once told me. He was really old school zero bedside manor.

I think @Matty123 was saying that the doctor you visited was being dismissive to you. It certainly sounds like it

[Matty123]

correct ^ i dont think you did at all. docs bedside manner was the issue i would say.

@neph93:

Corrupt hard drive? Do you use Time Machine?

Turned out the hard rive was ok and the update just didn't go to plan. All sorted with the update and I got him to put a new screen on it too.

Time machine is on the cards now.

[neph93]

^ that’s a win. My hard drive packed up a couple of years ago in similar circumstances. The thing is it had been corrupt for some time without showing signs, so lots of my Time Machine back up was equally fekked. Took an age to sort out.

Was it a usual HDD or an SSD? I've found the former to be way more reliable although being slower and noisy.

[UnTucked]

Meh…

I think people over qualify things too much, so I side with the doctor.

10 would be "totally unbearable, pass out from the shock of the pain".

I think I've never felt above a 5, MAYBE a 6. Unfortunately, when I gives an honest 5 rating, the doctors think "He's fine", and send me home because everyone else over exaggerates

With a script for Oxycontin, just in case of course  ::).

Exactly.  So when someone strolls in to the doctor's office, busily texting away, then says their pain is a nine, I'm thinking they haven't really put much thought into what the most pain imaginable is.

[Giles]

I suspect you'd be willing to help them experience it….

The complains department of google/youtube is run either by a badly programmed bot or by a bunch or morrons who are not able to read a fekking e-mail. Or both. ::)

[sabergirl]

The past few exchanges I’ve had with customer service via email have led to me having to repeat or slightly rephrase my problem over and over again. If your job is to troubleshoot problems in writing, taking the time to read is a huge part of that.
