How are you today?

[princealbertofb]

I'm not entirely convinced that travelling in a TARDIS has ever proven particularly simple, but I appreciate the thought. Machinery will always go wrong whereas if I could just get the heels on my ruby slippers a-clicking ...

Yes, I then thought about those ruby slippers... I don't think you have any of those, even though you have some ruby flip flops.... would they do? :tongue:

How is everyone doing? How the hell have you all been? I know some of you are thinking, "Who the hell is this freak getting on here like he owns this place."
Well wonder no more. I am Udabar, one of the original member of this place and I have been absent for a very long time. I have been moving around so much and for a while there I didn't have access to a personal computer so I really couldn't get on here. Now I am settled for a bit and I will be able to get back on here. I will throw it back into my daily grind to get on here and check all the posts and hopefully get back to being the #1 poster. Ah.. those were the days, me and Spotz fighting over who was going to have more free time out of their useless lives to post more on this site and try to, in our spare time of not posting, spread the word to all the other people in the world about how great this site is and why they should get on it. But enough about me and the old days.. On with the new. Hello to all the people who do not know me and Fucking Howdy dudy to all the people who do know me. Are you ready for me... I sure hope Andy, not the owner, still gets on here. If so then the troublesome duo will be back in action... Muwahahaha....

For those of you who don't know me I am a really cool person to talk to and if you cross me the wrong way.. Well just don't. I'm not pretty when you do so and then you might have a couple of other people on here jumping down your throat too... But it's hard to cross me the wrong way so you shouldn't have to worry to much about it.

Note to Andy (Owner of the site): How are things going with you and your other half? I haven't talked to you in a long time, well last time was that message on msn, but that was short and not much said. Sorry, I was trying to do other things at the same time and I'm sure you had other things to do too. Sorry to you the most that I haven't been on in so long and I have been absent. I see spotz has been your right hand man on this site since most of the older people have went other ways. I will work on getting back up there and being your left hand man if need be.

Note to other Andy (If your still getting on here): Miss you babes!! Are you ready to tear this place apart and see what damages we can do this time?

Note to everyone else that remembers me from the old days: I missed you all too. Don't think I didn't. Hell, those were the good days. Now i have no one to talk to since I stopped getting on here and moved. I don't have anymore friends in my life and I don't get out much anymore. Yes I am still living in Texas and I am now living in the big D (Dallas). If you all want to chip in some money and get me a plane ticket to move to the UK I wouldn't pass that up.. lol.. jk.. No but if you don't I wont pass it up.

Well, I guess i will stop chit chatting and let all these people leave ugly comments about me now. YAY!! I love trash talking.

Welcome back Udabar, whoever the hell you are, LOL... So you in "Tex - Ass" my fav line from SBSP

lastly, cant wait to see all those jumping again!!!

p.s. If anyone wants to make that a double seat... just give me enough time to get a new passport!

OK, back to MEMEME!!!

OMG, what a freaky nite I did have... just before nap time the power went out and then back on. OK... Well, it went on with about half power instead of full and that lasted for a short time then the power went way down. Could barely see with the lights on! That would last for a bit and then go up a bit...

Seems they were rolling the power so it wouldnt go out for everyone completly. I had an important phone call to make and was in such a panic to make it... got thru... then that Bitch went back to sleep instead of working anyways... so much for stress, hehehe...

After about 8 hours of this... eating a frozen pizza that had thawed but not cooked... UGH... washing dishes in near blackness... UGH... deciding I was gonna have a beer for the first time in three years... UGH...

The lights finally came on and lasted half an hour so I felt comfortable all was right with the world again... plugged in the whole house and had fingers crossed that the internet/old desktop didnt blow a gaskit... mind you, this was already 4am and I had my first beer in three years...

Yeah, everything worked perfectly and within 10 mins had a PING from the matey... Oh, how nice to be comforted by such perfect timing... Too bad we couldnt finish the "quickie"

[fjp999]

Ugh, had a doc appt today... he suggests that I have a liver biopsy... he is probably right but...THEY ARE SOOOOOO PAINFUL!!! And worse pain when you laugh...

Oh dear !! Babe I'm sorry :frown: xx.

May I ask why ? Or would you rather not discuss it ? I don't want to pry ...

!?!?! Shadow !?!?!

since Shadz couldnt remember if his question was posted to me... and since others have asked about the liver biopsy... I will try to bring some light to my condition...

I was diagnosed with Hep C for my 40th birthday (when all good men should have a full medical work up). This was in San Francisco and I had three pages of PERFECT health. The very handsome and gay doc couldnt believe that I had hep C and was even more shocked that I had been living with it for 20+ years (probably)... He said that due to the high cost of pre-testing and then the incredably high cost of the treatment I probably wouldnt be treated in SF and probably didnt need to either with just a few life style changes. I immediatly made those changes... and nearly just forgot about the C.

My parents needed me in Pennsylvania so I moved back there - biggest mistake in my life! OK, stay positive... Mom pushed me to treat even though I had no symptoms and was healthy as a horse!

The medical games began and I was put thru the system to the hilt. All tests showed that I had a pretty healthy liver and a low viral count as well as a geno type that doesnt treat very well... 30% or under "cure" with my geno type... I expected the liver guru to say that I should just come back next year and see if anything had gotten worse to warrent therapy.

Instead the doc said they had seen patients in my condition get very bad within the 23rd year (I still have not seen this data after searching six years) and even suggested death - As*H*le!!!

So I treated. It wasnt until 3 months into treatment that I discovered the weekly injection I was giving myself was ChemoTherapy (and I didnt have cancer, WTF)... The five daily pills have been used for decades and little is known why they work - what is know is that they boost the Chemo & if you take them alone they can kill you!

I was on treatment for 72 weeks. Usually it last 48 weeks... another story...

And I "cured"! Everyone was shocked but they believe it was due to my healthy life style before and my continued efforts to keep healthy with a good diet and exercise even with full body cramps.

So three months go by and all the poisons are suppose to be out of my system - except I am getting sicker and sicker... jump to more than two years of being "cured" and I am disabled from what the chemicals did to my system. Basically we dont know what is really going on but have some hypothesis from some very educated docs...

Probably some cellular damage was done and maybe even some genetic changes were made... whatever that means... Seems all the meds they feed us are not exactly studied for those concerns until after the fact...

So, it is not exactly know how to reverse cellular damage at this level... maybe just time... like decades... And lets not get started on repairing genetic code... hehehe... And, yes, I have tried every imaginable alt medical concept out there... Seems that LOVE is something that actually does heal! I highly recommend it!

If anyone doesnt know, and I certainly didnt... EVERYTHING goes thru the liver. And the liver has an amazing ability to heal itself. But if there is a slight problem with any one process of the liver it can create chaos in the body - That is ME!

Seems that Estrogen is not being processed properly which is throwing off other systems. My doc would like a PET scan which would actually show how my system is processing chemicals thru the liver but the insurance company refuses to pay for it until two other very expensive scans are done - go figure!!!

We are considering a test with Testosterone to reverse the Estrogen but since my Testosterone is fine it would be prescribed outside normal usage so, again, will not be covered by insurance and a monthly dose would cost me about 1/6 my disability check... I think it is worth a try!

On the liver biopsy... As my GP was initially a research scientest I am guessing he is hoping to find some answer as to why certain systems are not working and the liver is a first good place to start...

My biggest hope is that I get into the NIH (National Institutes of Health) which is THE Federal branch of where all health issues start in the USA. A new program just started this year and my docs think I am exactly what they are looking for... will probably hear in about three weeks or so if I am accepted... If I am I will become a Federal Lab Rat = VERY EXCITING!

Now, everybody can go take a nap if you read thru all that...

Hey Udabar !
Glad you are soound and well and hope to see you more often Oh yeah you left and your your top poster place was taken ,even i had it at some point lol. The competition is on then ?

Ash78 (Andy) doesnt login often but if you message him to tell him you are back in the forum...!

Ah.. those were the days, me and Spotz fighting over who was going to have more free time out of their useless lives to post more on this site

lol! Regardless what you may think my life isnt as useless or little as you may think

[Udabar]

It's ok spotz. I know your life is useful... It's good to be back and I will have to work hard to get back up there in the top poster area. What are the limits on posts to get another ranking? I know it was pretty low back in the day. Maybe one day I will get back into being a moderator again. Who knows, we will have to see what happens.
