Is that 790 a precise number? Because I mean if there's any rounding involved then it might as well be counting the big one.

Near as I can tell they just kinda stop counting at 790, because then you start getting into arguments about how big a chunk of rock sticking out of the cold, cold atlantic has to be before you can count it as an "island," and only 94 of them are inhabited anyway.

That's Aries.[DOUBLEPOST=1490396604,1490396547][/DOUBLEPOST]Ordered pizza. Waiting patiently. Suddenly, a STRANGE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY! Excitement ensues.

Fucker was just turning around. Damn it.

Not really, especially if you're on any vasoconstrictors.

I thought of you and this comment today when they started my IV today for my infusion. Usually there are no issues. Today it was terrible. My nurse has started mine many times before with no issues. Today she went for a vein on the inside of my elbow and it got stuck partway. Instead or re-trying somewhere else or the same spot at a different angle, she tried to force it, then wiggle it, then dig it around, then jam it, then force it some more and then I'm not sure but I had to look away before I barfed on her. She was starting to freak so I told her that when I have my SI injections that they do my IV in my hand.

She had try that several times as well but finally got it. I shouldn't have suggested it. When they do that for my SI thing, they're putting fentanyl and a sedative in there and the IV is in maybe 30 minutes. So if it hurts, I'm getting pain meds and I'm sedated and don't care! Neither of those were on the menu today. This one was also in almost three hours and it burned and the tubes pulled. My arm is also all purple inside my elbow.

I was wondering if a vasoconstrictor could cause this? She couldn't think of a reason unless my biologic is already scarring my veins.

Time for insomnia-googling or insomnia-FF15.

Dunno. Vasoconstrictors cause vessel walls to tighten, making veins/arteries narrower, but it's accomplished by a muscular reaction (Google says the proper term for this process is "stricture"), so I have to wonder if there is anything that would cause this to happen but then never relax and let it go.

I've flown on a pass before, and in United's defense, they tell you about the dress code approximately 11 billion times. As you get the ticket, before you click confirm, in the confirmation email, at check-in, etc.

I was assuming he was doing that thing some of us do where we talk to the world out there through a post here.

Like talking - well, yelling - at the TV. We just happen to be in the room.

On the one hand, I am firmly in the "Leggings are not pants" camp, but on the other hand, I'm also in the "I'm ok with chicks not wearing pants" camp.

I couldn't care less what people wear for the most part. But they do make it excruciatingly clear that there is a dress code for employee passes because you represent the airline, and they do say essentially nothing form fitting.

Leggings were pants in the 80s and 90s, I don't really get why people throw a giant fit about them now that they've come back into fashion. The same people who wear leggings that are too small and ruin it for everyone are the same people who will show their ass crack at all times in any other type of "real pants" too.
