Oh EDS. That's a bitch kitty.

My knees are way out of line. Well one is the one that didn't get surgery and is in full fall apart mode lately.

I don't even want to know about the other stuff in that syndrome. My surgeon was just passing through as I was getting dressings removed with a bunch of scrubs and she asks me to bend my thumb back to touch my forearm and i'm like sure. They all took notes on their clip boards.

When it was discovered I had malignant hyperthermia, which is not very common, I was in a teaching hospital, which led to every baby doc and half the real docs coming by to look at my chart and nod thoughtfully.

STOP GETTING SURGERY
unless you need it to maintain life, don't do it.

The patella realignment on my right leg went super well but I asked her not to do the left. I was afraid of being hobbled by two hosed up legs but she went in with laser precision and I could walk on it that evening.

Left patella went out while I was jogging a couple years back and it hasn't really come back.

I think she was right.

Do you have a pet lobster? That's great! Like a French eccentric.

No. It's a rare crayfish. About 4" long now. Missing the long antenna, but those will come back over the years. Probably worth about $150 now, should be a lot more after the next molt. I am a USA eccentric.

Oh, thank god, you have a surgeon who is good with Hyper-Mobility. That's very very good.

Agree. gonna wait for this guy to mature, then stop feeding fish food for awhile so it doesn't taste like fish food and then eat it and post video to YouTube for all the Invert lovers to watch.

I'm pretty much my avatar in rl. Except the green part. Otherwise spot on. Well not the spots. Dont really have those. Also my teeth are not quite as sharp. Basically a spitting image.

they caught the mystery bastard who caused my accident, for a separate reckless driving incident. I cannot i.d. him, but in a small town, it is good enough for me. The is the best smile I could muster though.

It's only as I've got older I've realised that if something that cool is in a museum and within touching distance of tourists and children, it's not a real skeleton.

That moment of realisation smothered the child in me.

Even if they're out of reach, chances are it's molded plaster and the real thing is either in a closet somewhere that you can't touch it or in a lab where other people can do science with it.

It's why I like the British Museum, the Rosetta Stone is real, which is why it's behind super secure glass, not sure if the Elgin Marbles on display are the real ones or fake, I think real because they are super out of reach.

Pretty much all the skeletons are fake though. As are all the Egyptian statues and poo poo which people touch.

Its weird when you think about it. You have a museum full of stuff and you need to space to display it all, then you need even more space to hide the real things and save them for scientists and academics etc.

Its not that they couldn't display the real thing, its that scientists are those kids who never learned to share and carried that behaviour into their careers. Jerks. :colbert:

The skeletons are incomplete anyway so you'd have like 8 bones surrounded by a bunch of fake stuff.

Alas, there's no real Khrushchyovkas in :poland:

The 70s pre-fabs are pretty sweet though, a chance to slum it up in your own place if you don't mind dealing with some grandma furniture.

In other news, as I move from a bad case of crunch time to having opportunity to catch some sleep and get my poo poo together, I'm slowly restoring my ability to smile.

Slowly.

I suspect that it's actually hiding them from the idiots who would destroy them out of stupidity. It apparently happens quite a lot.
