Ouch. Did you know that is is possible to fracture the erect penis? It's not common, but it happens. Painful and nasty, it is... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

That's my refrigerator on a good day! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I would like to take this moment and say...Yum. That's my favorite kind of refrigerator. Food? We don't need no steenkin' food.... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Is kissing a lost art? I love it. It's erotic and loving and sensual and soft and passionate and hard and revealing and, well, everything. It speaks volumes without words. Kiss me and I'm yours. Maybe I'm just a romantic at heart. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

See, I was thinking...report it to the police, what's the point? Neither one actually caused physical damage to the other. The cops will make a report because both of them will claim assualt and battery on the other. Maybe he just wants a report. Is the other guy suspended, too? Did anyone witness this happening? Seems like, if your job had a zero tolerance policy, you wouldn't be suspended, you would be fired. Good luck with it... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

A t-shirt? Is that the best you can do? If I was going to admit a love for said "clam licking" there would have to be a better offer out on the table. Yeah, like make it a table with chocolates, whip cream, and scantily clad women scattered about. You'll never attract a good lesbian with an offer of a t-shirt, silly. Now, as for parties...one of the best parties I ever played at featured Skybytch and The Rack (tm). Good times! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I was looking for a bona-fide trekkie protest! Could Clinton and McHugh write to the chief of staff at ER and hook this girl up with a residency? Surely they wouldn't mind.... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Hmmm. Men. I'll type in bold so you don't miss it this time... testicular SELF-exam. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Oh!!! Your response just reminded me....(a theory like yours probably guarantees a lot of one-on-one time, so I definitely want to share this with you! ) Don't want to leave you guys out. You should be performing testicular self-exams regularly. Early detection is important in the fight against testicular cancer, too. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Well, tuna, I'd like to thank you for bringing pussy to our attention tonight. And, as a woman and medical student with an interest in women's health, I'd like to take this moment to hijack your thread. Reminder to all my skysisters....get your pap done regularly. It should be done every 1 to 3 years, IF you don't have any risk factors. These risk factors include: smoking, BCP use, multiple sex partners, a history of precancerous cervical cells, previous abnormal pap, HIV infection, and HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Then, the test should be done at least once a year. Combat cervical cancer with early detection. Oh, and do self-breast exams, regularly, too. EARLY DETECTION is soooo important here. Okay, hijack complete. Please resume your appreciation of female genitalia. Oh, and remember....there are some very amazing women with very intelligent minds and beautiful bodies and warm, endearing personalities attached to your object of admiration. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

And a damn righteous goal, at that. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

The vagina monologues! Awesome.... Check this out from Eve Ensler's homepage for the vagina monologues: V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop worldwide violence against women and girls including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sexual slavery. Benefit performances of the vagina monolgoues are one way V-day is being realized. Ummm, can I just say.....Vagina power! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

that was funny! And, informative...LOL! Note to self for when I make amateur porn.... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Angela, a LOT of people do the same thing with injuries to the joints. After a hard AFF landing in september where i hyperextended and rotated my right knee, I have a a complete rupture of my ACL and a tear of the medial meniscus. After a month of treating it on my own with RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, elevation) without much improvement, I went to the doctor. I elected to do prolotherapy in hopes of avoiding surgery. I've done three sessions so far. This is what it's like...the doctor preps the site with betadine. He uses a topical anesthetic which is short acting. 25 gauge needle, it's small. He inserts the needle through the patellar tendon of my knee until he hits the tibial plateau. This is the only uncomfortable part. I flinched the last time, but it's not awful. Just....weird. He injects about 1cc of fluid into my knee and then removes the needle. The fluid he injects is primarily dextrose. It causes an inflammatory response in the joint. So, no taking anti-inflammatory medication for pain afterwards! It causes fibroblast activity to increase. These fibroblasts are cells that make connective tissue, collagen, and elastin. The idea is...the fibroblasts will produce tissue around the weakened ligaments, thereby strengthening them. It can be very effective. By reducing excess, abnormal motion of bones in the joint, it will reduce pain and wear and tear on the joint. This hopefully will reduce the incidence of osteoarthritis as you age. The way it was explained to me, the only side effects of this treatment is some swellling and possible discomfort after treatment, particularly after the first. If your doctor recommended it, gof for it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. And if surgery were necessary at a later date, it would still be a viable option despite previous prolotherapy treatment. PM me if you have any further questions.... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I can think of SOOOOO many people that would LOVE that toy. Oh, yes. Me included. Good find! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I'm missing someone tonight, too. Try chocolate. It works for me. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

The medication used in the treatment of TB can cause damage to other structures. There is a combination of drugs which needs to be used and treatment can last up to a year. Regular laboratory tests are used to monitor the function of the kidneys, liver, eyes, and ears for signs of drug toxicity. If you undego the treatment, you will be monitored closely. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I'm sure you've seen movies where people, years ago, died from "consumption". That's TB. Highly contagious and bad if left untreated. The lungs react to the bacillus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, by producing protective cells. These engulf the bacteria and create a nodule called a tubercle. Specifically, a tubercle is a mass of small round cells surrounded by connective cells. If this was left untreated, the tubercles would eventually enlarge and merge. These areas would become necrotic, or dead tissue, which would break off, break apart. Basically, the bacteria given time and not being fought will create holes in the lungs making them ineffective in the end. HOWEVER, this being said....treatment is out there. You've read about it. Some of the signs of TB are feeling tired all the time or lacking energy, pain in your chest, weight loss, fever, night sweats, coughing up bloody sputum. If you have TB, follow the treatment your doctor prescribes. Hope this helps some.... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

LOL, I got that one too! But as a paramedic...oh, and I also got Crazy Bitch a lot. Of course, by that time, they were usually struggling against restraints and trying to insult me from behind a tightly secured oxygen mask. Death threats were a favorite of mine. Bitch, I'm going to kill you. I know where to find you. LOL. Bring it. Call 911, ask for me. Being involved in a fist fight or being shot at was always good for a post-work beer and some good story telling. As for cops, my favorite term is still "5-0". Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I don't find that any more odd than Dr. Phil creating a book to teach fat people how to lose weight. News flash. HE'S FAT. Sigh. Okay, now I feel compelled to look up reasons that atkins might be healthy...besides the benefits of weight loss on the overweight body. I'm off to counter your claim, AggieDave! Just for research purposes! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Vall - I've been geocaching before. It's fun..have a great time! As for me, I'm working on valentine's day. Probably a double. Hopefully a lot of you happy couples out there will think of Applebee's (and your server!) on v-day. In fact, I recommend MY restaurant to you all...just ask for me. I'll be the only one wearing a closing pin necklace. And I'd like to say how much I love UPS right now...when you can't be with the ones you love, what better way to celebrate the holiday than to ship them something special? I'm getting something for v-day this year, too! I'm excited!

I was talking with a friend of mine about dieting and exercise and such....and she mentioned body for life. Since barnes and noble is closed at this hour, can you refresh my memory? You eat healthy for six days out of the week, allow one day to go off diet? Is that right? Get regular exercise? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I have some friends and family who have lost a significant amount of weight on the atkins diet. They are very happy with their results and try to convince me regularly to give it a go. But I've lost just as much weight by limiting my caloric intake and getting excercise regularly. I just can't be on a diet that won't allow or limits my intake of fruit, pasta, bread, and milk among other things. As far as it being healthy...I struggle with that idea, too. I mean, a man comes into my restaurant the other day, on atkins, and ordered 10 buffalo wings and a chicken, bacon, and cheese sandwhich minus the bun. Doesn't SEEM healthy to eat so much meat. But, what do I know? A doctor lecturing for one of my classes had all good things to say about the atkins diet and not just because people have lost weight on it. As a smart girl, though, I'll be sure to get that second opinion before I decide. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

now that's a question and a debate better shared with your primary care doctor than with all of us at dz.com who can only speculate, at best. Your participation in sports like skydiving and scuba and rock climbing with asthma may be risky. It may not be. You know the severity of your asthma, do you have to use an inhaler every day? More than once a day? After strenuous exercise or activities? For that matter, do you use an inhaler or are you on nebulizer treatments or oral medication? How severe are your attacks? Not that you need to answer these questions, but these are things that you should consider with your doctor. Due to the physical exertion, pressure changes, and air quality encountered in skydiving and scuba, it is a good thing to consider their impact on your asthma. Go talk to your doctor, let him or her be the deciding factor. Hoping you win your debate... Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali
