The runs

the runs

I was down with a serious case of The runs (TM) yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s something I ate that didn’t quite agree with me but I’m glad it has run its course. I’m still feeling dehydrated today from the intensity of the experience. πŸ˜‰

  1. Dude, the old Sixseal would have shown us the evidence, live picture of the stinking run…with undigested corn pieces from Ice Kacang floating on the brownish concoction.

  3. Truth is stranger than fiction,sometimes, hb. I was having a lazy pm sunday, in fact just put some chicken in the oven, about 3:45 est, when the phone rings. It is an old friend, ( lately I consider any one still sucking air and we went to the same schools a friend – Shit in the past several years, I have put 3 in the dirt, and I was supposed to be here myself but may hap I am hardheaded that way) It is friend traveling to Knowxille TN. I said, Don, whats your eta. He says about 5. Wtf, Don, I would have cleaned the place up for you, had I known. He said, that is exactly why I did not tell you, did not want you to go to any trouble. ( well,I said, you are welcome to one of spare beds, but all I am gonna do is give you the sheets, on 5 min notice. No prob, tom, he said, just did not give you any advance notice, cause I cannnot stay but an hour or two. He left a while ago. Uhg I -40 from Asheville NC to Knowxville, TN, is very trecherous in the day, much less at night. ( divided 4 lane, no stops at all, 35 degree grades, 400 meter tunnels.) He is going there to meet the family of his ( hopefully ) wife. Don is kinda like me , HB. He was a senior nco, and I was a junior officer, but we both served honoralbly, and we both know that there is alot of stuipid shit going on, by persons who think they are tough, but the closest they have come to a grenade is a avacodo. Or pommegantite. Anyways, HB, that night I was looking up on google, in the midst of a boring shift, several years ago, Camel meat!!! So I acessesd your website. My desk was right in the middle of the production area. Don was watching over my back, ( every one HAD to wear earplugs – dont beleve it? – work in a 4000 sq ft space, with 8 injection molders going off all at the same time ( 4 cd , 2 DVD) and 2 rotary Kamman print presss, and on top of it all, if you were the one leading this three ring circus, you were tasked with being the plant safty officer. Yeah the used to call me “Safety tom” Anyways, we found out that Don, Oz, Trey, and Jimmy ( and me) all watch your site HB. Take care, My ( our ) friend. may God enrich your life as musch as you have blessed ours. Now excuse me HB, A friend gave me a copy of Gran Torino. I am gonna pop a top and watch that sucker. Bless, you my friend.

  4. seeing the doctor would be good as he would give you sachets of something to rehydrate your body and replenish your salt. he would also supply you with some med to let you hold the urge of running to the toilet.
    i’d been in your shoe, twice every month, so you can imagine how many times i have to see the doc.

  5. Sorry for the long long blue diatribe, HB. I and many others wish you well. I wont say get better. That would be hard to do. I guess you are at the top of your Game, right now. But when you fall, (and you will) dont be too proud to let others help you up. God knows, this is the third time for me. ( carrer wise; change, when I thought every thing was ok- gone are the days when you cand expect one company to look out for your interests). But also, it is a good time to reevaluate your personel life. What I was at your age ( 29?- a tech quality control guy in open pit minning is not what I am today. Right now, an unemployed mid level manager, whith seciality in DVD , CD, and some VHS manufacture. That industry is dead as a dinosour, HB. I personally think all movies, music, etc… will be on flash drives or something similar, in the furture. Dont belive it? I was around when 8 track tapes were the new thing. ( about 12) then cassesttes and VHS (remember, ther was a big battle between vhs and betta. Now cds vs ipod for music, and DVD vs blue ray. But even blue ray will be dead in the water in a decade, I bet. Why do I say this? Cause I know from hard and bitter experience. The best machines I have ever worked with are marubine, from japan. To make dvd 9, ( dual layer) is incredibly complex. Just aside from the physical scrap rate of raw pcm ( polycarbonate) once you get every thing running, and are producing discs, THEN you gotta test them. We had, just in our little companym probably 3 million worth of test equipment. Shit, HB, It was more detailed than most of the read out from you Doc. It took me 6 years to learn it all. Which I Hope you don’t think I am pussying out, by this, but I am gonna go get my certificatin as a CNA( Certfied nursing assistant) I think I will be of more value there ( Having been there on the other end, soto speack, myself) Take care, HB.

  6. Sorry, HB but your photos are evoctive ( yeah, not eroticive, learn the differnce; shit like that is what got us into two world wars, ya know. Chevous and Chevrous) But I liked that photo of the paper on the tank. Cause once it goes in, there is no choice but to fish it out. No matter what is in there with it. ( ps, that is why plumbers keep their fingernails cut close, and don’t bite them either Cheers, my friend, wishing you well form a half a world away

    tom robinson: I used to drop TP into the toilet very often when I was a kid. I don’t know why, butterfingers probably. My dad would give me hell for it. Worst thing was, once my sister did it and told my dad I did it. I was probably 8-9 years old then and I STILL remember that.
    shaoweii: Not really. I remember my ass hurts after that. :S
    Shirley Snow: Thanks Shirley! πŸ™‚
    Jac: Thanks Jac! I will! πŸ™‚
    e: Haha! Nice one. I was on Serious Opiates (TM) at that time – dihydrocodeine, heroin and methadone (at the same time) and I could go for WEEKS without taking a dump due to the constipation.
    It got to the point that I had to shoot up meth just to go to the toilet – not that uncommon with poly drug users.
