OT Just got home from the hospital

[Lanny]

They should do a remake of the 6 million dollar man starring lanny. Heck, i have only had 2 surgeries in my life. First my tonsils in the 8th grade and detached retina surgery about 5 years ago.

Glad to hear it went well buddy.

Before my recent spate I had only one surgery for repair of my cartilage in my right knee and before that nothing. I can only blame agent orange which was illegal to use in the United States at the time it was used in Vietnam. Okay, I've no bone to pick about being injured in combat but it really pisses me off to think that they condemned me to a life of living hell when they knew what it would do. I'm convinced that somebody put thousands of Vets through hell just to line their pockets with enough for a couple more vacation homes. I hope they choke on their steak dinners.

My father was a dialysis patient for 7 years.

And then what? I've already been doing it for 4 1/2 years. Have I only got 2 1/2 years to go?

I feel for you, dad, and the rest of the veterans having health problems because of that shit. I also feel for the Vietnamese people having that shit sprayed all of their country and dealing with the health ramifications because of it.

Whew

Are you Norwegian?
My mother in law is full blooded 96 years old has a IPhone and will text up a storm.
She was riding my bike a couple years ago tougher than nails. She was that welder lady at the shipyards. She keeps telling me it’s that Norwegian blood in her that’s keeps her going even after numerous episodes where we thought we may lose her.

No, but I had an uncle by marriage who was of Swedish descent. He did love his lutfisk.
I worked with a bunch of factory mechanics who were of Norwegian descent building jumbo jets for Boeing who used to often say "uff da".
