I hate the ER...one of the worst places in the world

honestly, probably my best experience at one ever last night.  In and out in just under an hour.  It was only 8pm so i guess hell had not started for them yet there.

As long as you're still in pain I'm happy for you.

[Seabiscuit36]

hope your neckspine feels great too buddy

[Feva]

How the hell did you manage that?

i was trying to walk in my basement past my dog.  I stepped on one of his toys, and thought it was him, i jumped and landed on another toy and jumped again and somehow kicked the heavy ass ottoman in the middle of my floor. 

So the lesson to be learned here... clean your farging house.

or stop caring if you step on the little bitch

for real, dogs need to stay out from underfoot, they aren't in charge

Ever wonder why Americans are so fat?

Most of the article focuses on the how corn has been responsible for packing extra calories into our diets since WWII, but I thought this quote was nice and gross:

Four of the top 10 causes of American deaths -- coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer -- have, Pollan says, "well-established links" to diet, particularly through "the superabundance of cheap calories of sugar and fat." What he calls America's "national eating disorder" is not just the fact that Americans reportedly eat one in five meals in cars (gas stations make more from food and cigarettes than from gasoline) and that one in three children eats fast food every day...

Sick.

I'm sure the "ready in 10 minutes" meals aren't helping this situation, either.  My family eats fast food at most twice per week (and usually just once), but we're often putting fish sticks or chicken nuggets in the oven and heating Mac and Cheese on the stove.  We get home at 5, and the kids need to be in bed by 7 (to get back up at 6am).

I've been able to cut fast food out of my diet (outside of road trips). I'd love to claim responsibility for that, but the truth is that I couldn't eat fast food if I tried largely because the neighborhood I live in doesn't allow anything other than locally owned businesses, and no chains, to operate. You literally can't find a chain anywhere in this corner of Boston. I hate this city, but I like this neighborhood.

You are aware that McDonald's considers one to be a "heavy user" if they eat more there more than twice a month, right?
Salt and undigestable fat are becoming almost unavoidable, unless you go totally organic (and really, who the farg can afford that?)  Besides, with the markets in the state they are, why exactly would I try to live to retirement?

The only thing worse than men complaining about other men eating fast food is... well... nothing.  There's literally nothing in the universe worse than that.

Cottage cheese is for women and so are salads.

Eat a Big Mac or twenty and shut up, all of you.

i was trying to walk in my basement past my dog.  I stepped on one of his toys, and thought it was him, i jumped and landed on another toy and jumped again and somehow kicked the heavy ass ottoman in the middle of my floor.  Hurt like a bitch for the first 5 seconds.  I thought it was dislocated, and i couldnt put it back in, so we went to the ER.  Ends up it broke at the socket, which explains why i couldnt put it back in, and why it looked dislocated

DonHo, you had better had the boy and wife waiting on you.  Ryan told me about you having the surgery or needing it.  Good luck. 

I have the same problem with my son's skateboard shtein all over the garage.  I swear it's a miracle we're not in the ER in traction after some of the close calls we've had.

Hate the ER with a passion.  My wife gets migraines and we have to go there sometimes.  Thank god they get her in quickly as we go to the women's and children's hospital close to our house and there's nothing like a waiting room full of puking and screaming kids at midnight when you have a migraine.

The wife was great for the first couple of days but reality soon set in and we were back to the usual "Get off your lazy ass and get it yourself!"

I never go to McDonalds if I can at all help it.  Can't digest that horsemeat.  My son, of course, loves it because of the Happy Meal toys.

My biggest fast food guilt is Shane's Rib Shack and Chick-Fil-A.
