    haha i got it deported
    funny because i have lived in Australia as a permanent residence since i was 11 thats 48 years ago, and for my wife sake because since heightened security I am usually held in immigration in Indonesia for about two hours each trip ( my wife sweats blood but i find it exciting ) I have decided to surprise here and get neutralised for April my 60th birthday in Bali. I believe it requires a labotomy hehehehe.

    I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this.

    I'm a damn marvel of modern science.

    They was giving me ten thousand watts a day, you know, and I'm hot to trot! The next woman takes me on's gonna light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!

    If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way.

    Who's the head bull-goose loony around here?

    Video LOL
    LOL, yes I kinda wished I hadn't watched it just before going in either....my surgeon gave me a little crap because it caused me a little stress thinking about it before the procedure...

    But in all honesty it was really nothing..I have no idea if the numbing was anything like in that video. I barely felt a few sticks and a little burning and that was it.

    The only thing I didn't care much for was him pushing and squeezing it out like a big zit, LOL....but it popped right out...a few stitches, a little super glue and slapped a patch on it.

    It didn't cause me any grief after either.

    I actually went home and did the lawn because it was getting so long that my two choclate labs were gonna kick my butt if I didn't cut it.

    They're females and apparently they don't like tall wet grass touching their hoohoo's while peeing.

    Best,

    I'm not going to look at the pictures. Thank you for updating. Glad all went well. I would love to be a fly on the wall when you ask the nurses to flush the port. BTW, glad Cuba didn't want you back!!

    what about mesh
    They are trying to replace my naso gastric tube as soon as they can do it with a PEG. Thank goodness. I have had hernias before and i am thinking it only need a tiny tear to necessitate the placement of mesh, am assuming the opening for the PEG would mean mesh' I already have one right down the middle so when i do crunches i make a tent.
    Glad to hear it went all right for you. I bet you like Monty Python and Blue collar comedy tour style humer. If i win this week lotto i will fly you down here and take you Spanish Mackerel fishing off ledge point catch them 5-6 ft at times off the land ballon fishing.

    Zit
    If only they can do that with C they could squeez on me all they want. I know about the choclate labs and gress and guess what Fe-mails Pit-bulls don't like high grass either, she picks to go by my shed door just to let me know. :)
