It would be if it wasn’t exactly what I have come to expect.

Interesting, if true. Not totally doubting you, but at least they don’t reward that behavior when the evidence is laid bare. Granted it shouldn’t take public exposure to take action, but this is where we are at so far.

What a dickhead. May justice be applied where necessary.

Perhaps one of the most important takeaways here is that at no point did the democratic party promote unyielding defense or support for Swalwell. Flawed as they may be, they don’t have the level of “party over people” that republicans demonstrate when something similar happens. Remind your conservative acquaintances of that.

Hell yes. I still have my (formerly white) COC shirt somewhere. I saw them like 33-ish years ago in SF. It was everything I hoped it would be. Plus, they never strayed from the act, which is great and why people getting all upset about it completely miss the point of the show. Oh well. Sucks to be someone who never gets to enjoy a show in person.

They don’t really get GWAR, I gather. Fucking ignorant snowflakes. It’s telling as they attach so much of their personality to someone who is as equally fragile.

Look at Medialite. Crackin’ the fuckin’ case. What other bombshells are they going to lob at us?

Hey, get those lowercase tags off my lawn!

Sounds like envy to me.

The surgery did, but it was a long recovery period. I think it was three months with a temporary colostomy bag while my intestine healed and then at least a year for my body to get used to the new setup. After about 5 years I noticed that I was closer to normal, or as normal as you can be after getting a j-pouch. But it’s better than going through continued episodes. I don’t think I would have survived more than a couple additional bouts. Plus living with UC really increases your risk of colorectal cancer. Fun stuff

Yeah, this was the fourth recurrence of it and by the time I went into the hospital I had lost nearly half of my blood or something. I think I needed four pints of blood iirc. I don’t remember exactly, I was near dead. Kinda sucked. After surgery and a year of healing I was able to regain the weight it and get back in shape. Haven’t had another issue with it since. Plus I don’t have a lower intestine, so no colon cancer! Silver lining and all.

Ha, oh man. When I finally got unplugged from everything, about two weeks later, I sorta sprinted up a small flight of stairs and felt every muscle in my legs tearing. It was a very strange and uncomfortable feeling. It probably hurt a lot but they had me on some gnarly painkillers. I did feel it the next day though when I got home. That was about 13 years ago. I hope they have better treatments for it now than surgery. It seemed like a better option than Remicade at the time. Oh well, what’s done is done. Basically back to normal after all this time.

I hope you don’t. In my case nothing helped so I had my lower intestine removed. The made a facsimile with a section of small intestine and re-plumbed me. It was during that recovery period that I went on TPN to effectively reduce the usage of my digestive system.

TPN is Total Parenteral Nutrition. Basically it’s a large bag of glucose, lipids, vitamins and minerals that is fed through a PICC line (in you upper arm) directly above your heart for thorough dilution and distribution through your bloodstream. An external peristaltic pump doses it into you throughout the day. It’s a trip, albeit cumbersome. Oh, and it does spikeTF out of your blood sugars so you have to take insulin during the process, which sucks.

Had ulcerative colitis. Went about a month on Gatorade and clear vegetable broth. Another month or two on TPN after surgery with very little to no veggie broth.

Went from 175 to 115. 0/10 would not recommend.
