My Stomach doesn't hurt right now

Yes, believe it or not for the last four hours I have had no stomach ache and that includes eating Pizza and wings, something I almost never eat because I am afraid it will make me sick. Maybe the intestinal bacteria pills I am taking help, or maybe it is just a freak moment.

Stomach Drama Continues

I am so tired of feeling sick to my stomach. I keeps me up all night. It hurts all day. It kind of even makes me nauseous. I went to the doctor, he asked where it hurt. I misrepresented because I was bloated and my whole stomach kind of hurt at the moment. Now that I didn't eat last night and am really skinny I can tell it hurts higher up. See my diagram below. The green area has a much sharper pain when I touch it. The red area kind of hurts when I am really full but I think it has more to do with whatever is up in area green.

So I call the doctor yesterday and got his helper because he was busy. I said, I don't want to just wait for Jan 9th to get a colonoscopy and asked if they could do any other tests bfore. I asked if it would be possible to get a blood test or stool test to see if something else is up. At least a freaking blood test. The last one I took was in like 2000. Anyways, so they say they could fit me in at 6am for colonoscopy. I declined first of all because I would have had to be ready at like 5am at Millard Fillmore suburban and second of all because I wasn't calling for a rush colonoscopy. I just think maybe they should check some other stuff first.

I am really so sick of the whole process. What does it take to find a doctor with a few minutes who thinks of a the whole picture? I would pay lots of money at this point. I think I am going to just take (e:jenks)'s advice and just go to the emergency room. I think I am going to go today after I finish with some important stuff for work. If I go there I will blog the whole experience.

harassment training

I can't believe I have to sit through another respect in the workplace training. I understand why they have to do this but I think I have sat through about 10 of these in my life.

The part that surprises me the most is that they have FAQ that says the first thing you should do when you receive an offensive email is "Delete the email and reply to the person that you don't enjoy getting this type of email."

That is so stupid. Promptly, delete all evidence :p

The Visco 9"

Times have changed. The saleswoman didn't even bat an eyelash that three adult males were shopping for a king size mattress together. The other couple in the store were clearly lesbians and the same thing. I was thinking that maybe the mattress industry has always had the secret in side scoop into people lives and so nothing is new. It is kind of hard to pretend you aren't sleeping together when you are testing out a bed together.

image

We ended up going with some king size, visco memory form get up for ~$2000 with everything including tax, damn tax is expensive. It is called the Sealy Posturepedic TrueForm Visco 9"

I wish I had something to do with the Visco 9" in the title, but I don't - lol.

It seems like it has the potential to make sleeping nicer or worse. I really can't tell. Luckily, t gives us a 90 day return policy for trade in if we hate it. I think we will like it. They deliver it tomorrow and it better change my life considering it costs as much as a car I would have bought 5 years ago.

Free Rice for Poor People

I don't understand how this can possibly be real but I saw it on omg blog and then decied it was worth posting here. freerice.com gives free rice to the United Nations feed the hungry campaign or something liek that if you win the word games on the site. I guess the advertisers donate grains of rice based on the number of correct vocabulry questions you answer.

image

I also foudn this video on omg blog - I guess it isn't just limited to that one beauty queen, it hit Kelly Pickler too

The Trip To The Botanical Gardens

I love the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens They are warm. I have decided to become a member so that I have a reason to keep returning to the warmth.

I took a bunch of pictures of the plants. I really love my Nokia s7c camera. It is so compact and takes such nice pictures.

Tis little pink flower was so hello kitty.
image

This orange puff was so cute.
image

Inside this large plants was this tiny microcosm with a mini flower in it.
image

This pine is so nervous looking.
image

So was this plant.
image

I kicked (e:flacidness)'s butt in checkers.
image

This cactus looked so mean.
image

This leaf is so giant
image

The banana plant was flowering.
image

image

These cacti look like penises.
image

The main chamber in the front room is so high and makes a giant echo chamber.
image

Buffalo State was having an exhibit today with student ceramics. This one was labeled Two Faced Bitch.

A Trip Downtown

I hate the new indian territory in the middle of the city. Does anyone else think that is ridiculous?
image

They made the Casino look so awesome, lol. I hate them. I would say I hope it burns down but considering it looks 100% ribbed steel I doubt anything would happen.

image

We went to go eat at the city grill on Franklin but it was closed for a private party ;(

On the way back to the car I noticed these doors to the YMCA were covered in a disgusting amount of pigeon shit. I guess they never use them.

image

image

image

This one is for (e:hodown). It is a spot focaccia.
image

Can anything be more buffalo than a corned beef foccia. They have them at spot. Sounds like it should be served at McGuidos over by HSBC arena. That place, however, closed down.

Reverse Osmosis Water

We finally bit the bullet and decided to install a reverse osmosis water system in our house for drinking water in the kitchen. It involved a couple hours of plumbing but the water tastes really good and it comes out way faster than the hook to the tap system we had before.

This is what happens to pipes that make me angry. I guess I do have an anger management issue. This led to us buying a new normal faucet as well. I like the new one way better than the old one anyways.
image

Here is the tank that goes under the sink.
image

Here is the filtration unit before
image
and after hookup
image

And the final happy tap with no faucets. $159 for the system, $100 for the new faucet, hour hours of plumbing later.
