Mortality, The End

[nullorchis (imported)]

If the nit wits get elected, (Romney and dufus) I am going to have a near mortal experience. (Or just move to a country that is not infected in the majority with such brain diseased society).

Ever since I learned enough biology to form an opinion, it has been my view that human mortality is the simple consequence of the joining of haploid gametes. All else is postlude to that joining.

(Including, methinks, all homo sapiens sapiens wit nits...)

Nullorchis, don't forget to write.

Looked into it before. But discovered that I need to be able to have had longstanding prior health insurance coverage in order to become a citizen of most other countries. It's a catch 22 in this country when you have a preexisting condition that doesn't negatively impact your health. Sorry everyone. I can't leave so just DEAL with it. At least I have my health. Perhaps I shall outlive all my antagonists.

I've had the fortune, good or bad, to be able to move to another country. It's not as much of a relief as it might seem, unfortunately. You simply get embroiled in yet another set of politics and problems, however much you avoid it.

I think mortality is an incredibly scary word for something that terrifies some and reassures others. Those who are of the belief that they will reincarnate as a better lifeform tend to be more comforted by the idea than someone who believes they will just blink out of existence, for example. I think that for another set of people entirely, its something that actually becomes more reassuring, the closer it gets.

OK. At Moi's request -

Last night I went to the movies, bringing a portable suction machine with me.

Suction machines are used by tracheostomy patients. If you can't breath because your trachea is plugged with mucous (trach tubes continually irritate the throat, causing mucous discharges), you stick a small plastic tube through the tracheostomy tube down into your throat and vacuum out the obstruction. It's a medical vacuum cleaner.

I suddenly needed suction, so I rushed to the lobby to use my noisy machine, which I'd never used before. (My home unit works well.) But I couldn't connect the plastic suction tube to the machine! As Gomer Pyle would have said, Surprise, Surprise. So I was choking and convulsed in the theater lobby. Not a happy time. The kindly popcorn guy brought me a roll of paper towels. After ten minutes, I found the breath to call a cab. The poor cabbie was terrified by my panicked wheezing and gasping, and refused to charge me. I made it to my home machine. Wow!

Then I called the emergency night line of my equipment supplier. It turns out I needed to use an extra connection tube which I hadn't even known to bring. Sigh.

Allah willing, my tracheostomy tube will be gone in a month or two, and all this will be a fond memory. Meanwhile, it's grist for Moi's mill.

Do share

How many pounds gained since returning home to unlimited carbohydrates?

[bobover3 (imported)]

20, out of 52 originally lost. Steady for past 2 weeks.

[moi621 (imported)]

Make your home a paleolithic zone. A Low Carb zone.

No flour or sugar products.

Unsalted peanuts. NOT Honey Roasted.

A handful can be a tummy filler.

I am sure a whole piece of fresh fruit has never visited your apartment.

You might try invite one in. But, not its' cousins the juices.

There are low carb, and sugar free Ice Creams and fruit bars out there it you look.

I like my Stater Brothers Sugar Free, Zero Carb fruit pops.

There are also low Carb fudgsicles out there. And they are "good".

Plan ahead.

G'Luck

My bet, lots of carbs at Bob 3 Ex-BFF's home. And they will continue to be welcome.
