Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Two Nuns and a Vampire Two nuns are on vacation in Transylvania. Despite all the warnings to the contrary, they've stayed out after dark. Sure enough, as they're driving along, a vampire flies out of the night and lands on their windshield, hissing and baring his horrible bloody fangs. "Dear Lord! What shall we do?" cries the first nun."Turn on the windshield wipers. Maybe that will break his grip," answers the second nun. No luck. Now the vampire is wet and angry. He claws at the windshield. "Now what shall we do?" yells the first nun, getting even more scared. "Weave the car back and forth. Maybe he'll fall off," says the second nun. No luck. The vampire is beating on the glass now, and it's starting to crack. "NOW WHAT!?!?!" cries the first nun. The second nun tries to remember how to get rid of vampires. She has a sudden flash of insight. "Show him your cross!" she yells, triumphantly.The second nun sticks her head out the window and yells,"Get off the fucking car, you asshole!!"

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Got a chuckle out of this one, Kathy! About 10 years ago, when was into her Lauper fashion phase (clashing colors, scarves dangling from as many body parts as possible), I asked her one morning why she dressed like that for school. Her reply was, " Because I'm a strange woman. " Kids! granny --- " Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 One of the major problems with hypothyroidism is the lack of precision in the language. The reality is that there are two distinct varieties of diseases that have the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Unfortunately, these two varieties have exactly the same name " hypothyroidism. " The proper meaning of hypothyroidism is the result of inadequate secretion by the thyroid gland. An examination of the many medical practice guidelines for hypothyroidism deals only with the deficient thyroid gland both in diagnostics and therapies. The improper, but often used meaning of hypothyridism is the result of inadequate thyroid hormone levels. This meaning suggests deficiencies in the thyroid gland, and/or in the peripheral metabolism of T4 to T3, and/or in the peripheral cellular hormone reception of T3. The latter two deficiencies are neither diagnosed nor treated. So what is the net result of having post thyroid deficiencies. They exhibit the symptoms of hypothyroidism. They may or may not assay as if they have deficient thyroid secretion. If they do, they are treated with levothyroxine sodium for T4 deficiencies. But since the serum T3, serum rt3,or 24-hour urine T3 are not measured, there is no implication towards any post-thyroid deficiency. But, when Armour or some other T3-containing hormone is used, it supplies the deficient hormone for post-thyroid deficiencies (T3)... So there is the nature of the confusion in this realm.... It would be best not to add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Spoken by people who have " Spastic Shops " and no true civil rights laws for the disabled, segregated schooling, a lousy accessible housing program, bus systems that strand wheelchair users, and a class system that disables worse than any medical condition could ever accomplish, but I'm the offensive one while you take what I say completely out of context. I understand that your class systems might cause you to feel uncomfortible when you perceive another disabled person " rising above their station " but you are twisting things here. I'm being hung for words I did not say here. I do not wish any harm or segregation of ANYBODY with ANY DISABILITY. What does me wanting to work in a job outside of institutional hell have to mean another witch hunt of me from the arrogant types who don't even know the reality of the situation?
