I had an large abscess in my upper pubic area couple years ago. The initial removal of it was OK because they used a powerful local anesthetic, but I had to go back to the doctor a couple times so they could stuff fresh linen into the cavity that was formed by removing it. They told me to pop a few ibuprofens before going in but it was still pretty painful.

On a related note, I'm reading a Roman medical treatise in one of my graduate seminars and we just read about surgery for fistulas. I had no idea these were a thing until now. Have any of you had one? Sounds fucking terrible.

Funny that you just posted about abscess because I spent today in a hospital and my hemorrhoid was actually an abscess that especially concentrated in this bulk near my anus that then bursted. I will return to the hospital on thursday and they'll try to repair it under complete anesthesia so now I'm just waiting chewing on some antibiotics.
I think hemorrhoids were too ordinary for my disease log anyway.

Considering a career change into IT. My Cuz works for the government doing that kind of work and could get me in no problem if I pass the CompTIA Security+ cert, which I'd definitely need to study, and the 70-680, which based on sample questions shouldn't take too much practice.
Anyone in that field? Basically, I'm an excel wiz gamer who has worked various citrix systems and then some, along with a lot of accounting programs and every Microsoft thing you can think of. I know basic functions that apply universally, and if its something I don't understand, I'm smart enough to Google it. How hard could the tests be for someone of my experience level to study for?
I also used to HTML code my own MySpace, so I'm basically the best hacker evar.

Alright champs, I'm outta here for a while. Too many things are happening in my world right now, and I find myself needing to focus elsewhere. Alas, some of you crazy kids are just too entertaining to ignore. 
I'll make it back around eventually - Deron is putting me on voluntary ban mode. So until next time...

Anything music is incredibly hard to get into. Even if you're immensely talented. Fucking sucks

Go mechanic/welder, there's multiple applications for those skills. And worst case scenario, you save money doing shit yourself.
Most music-involved people of that type I know are pinching pennies or also drug dealers.

I noticed more and more asian tourists in Prague are just doing the iPhone thing with the selfie stick now. I guess the new iPhones take fine pictures so whatever. Then there's the Italian couples with a big semipro Canon camera carrying a fucking tripod with them. Serious tourism.

There are people who actually go around the city with the selfie stick and the phone aimed at them constantly, acting like nothing is happening. Probably making a video of themselves walking? I don't know. It's a new world.
