I have to leave for the hospital for a MRI at 8 this morning, hopefully I'll be back by noon or one.

Drop some memes in the comments if you catch an urge. Or whatever tickles your fancy.

@JtC Hola, JtC from across the GOM. Very, very good luck with that MRI (I sense good news). Give the retiring legal eagle a hug from me. And your OT: very clever and Ouch!! Smile Rec'd!!

@orlbucfan
I'm not too worried about the results of this MRI. It's a routine test that I'll be taking every three months for two years. If things are still good after two years then the I'll have fewer tests until I reach the five year time frame.

I'm doing what's called the Watch and Wait Protocol. If a person has a complete clinical response, which means there is no indication of cancer after oncology treatments, then it's either surgery or Watch and Wait. I decided on Watch and Wait.

The reason I'm not too concerned about this MRI is because the Watch and Wait Protocol entails a Three Pillar system. The Three Pillars are: 1) A manual test performed by a surgeon, the old finger test, that I dislike immensely. 2)A sigmoidoscopy which is a shorter version of a colonoscopy, where the surgeon takes a look with a flexible scope camera, I also am not a fan of this test. And 3) A MRI, which I can tolerate but it's still a pain in the butt (pun intended).

This MRI was the last leg of my first Three Pillar system tests. I had the manual test about three weeks ago and I aced it. I had the sigmoidoscopy about two weeks ago and the surgeon found what he called a nodule that he wanted to confirm wasn't a recurrence of cancer, so he did a biopsy which came back benign. So, with those two tests behind me I felt confident that today's MRI results will be good news, especially after the results of the biopsy. I'll know the results of the MRI in a few days.

The legal eagle is at her office prepping for retirement and also prepping herself for being home with me every day. LOL!

BRICS? Sachs gives Diesen a serious analysis of the history and
trajectory and the new multipolar order. Hard to argue against.

Not sure how to embed this. About one hour.

Zionism is a social disease

@QMS
I hate hospitals too, but I have to admit, they did good by me, I credit them for saving my life.

It's pretty obvious that Trump is only concerned for his and his family's wealth, the rest of us be damned.

I tried to embed the video and it didn't work for me as well.

Thanks for sailing in.

But the big entertainment news at present is that a billionaire gets to decide who is to entertain you and who doesn't, and so this allows CNN to discuss "antisemitism" as if Zionists stood for all Jews. At any rate, Batman has decided to weigh in on the controversy:

is creeping in like a thief in the night. I'm so sick of billionaires.

I do have to admit though, I'm not familiar with Ed Sheeran or Macklemore's music. Is rap considered music?

Cool Batman meme, but I didn't know he was a billionaire. I guess Gotham's been very good to him.

is absolutely spot on. You are sorely missed, Mr. Thompson. You would have such a field day with the current administration and its antics...

@usefewersyllables
he certainly would be having a field day, and, I'll make a bold prediction...there's much more to come when Trump leaves the stage. I don't think we've seen anything yet, this crazy train's just getting rolling, my friend.

If that's a real ad, I can't believe that they would alienate a huge percentage of potential buyers by slanting the ad that way.

from today. Farrah III (USA 32) blew up unexpectedy, after sitting quietly on orbit since 1988. Curious- and it'll be interesting to see what falls out from that, so to speak. One step closer to the Kessler Syndrome!

Give Elon a bit more time, he's on it. It will take him no time at all with the turnover of the servers on his orbiting data centers. There'll have to be a fleet of orbiting garbage haulers.

He's getting boatloads of money, I'm being bombarded with his ads, and he stands for absolutely nothing. Well, nothing he'd reveal to the public, at any rate.

Who is he? I was just texted by a Brad Hicks volunteer.
