So I have been MIA lately. Sorry about that. I've been busy. Passing stuff. All sorts of stuff. You know...passing time....gas....kidney stones. Yeah, kidney stones. Hooray!
I am sure you have heard how painful these jagged little buggers can be, and I can now testify of this truth: kidney stones suck.
I won't go into the graphic, horrific details of it all, suffice it to say, that I would not wish this on Nancy Pelosi (aka my worst enemy).
Somehow though, through the writhing pain, I feel like the passing of a kidney stone means I've earned a badge of honor. A notch in my belt. I feel so much more mature now. Or maybe just old.
I don't know about you, but when I think of kidney stones, I think of Kramer from Seinfeld. Remember when he passed his?
2. Yay for all the states out there who got their elections right and got rid of their losers and baggage. So many states got it right on so many things. Unfortunately, my state was not one of them. Surprise, surprise. Washington. What in the world am I going to do with you? Beautiful, but brainless.
3. Ok, don't laugh at me, but I went to thesaurus.com for the first time today to look up a synonym for the word "liberal." And guess what came up as one of the synonyms? Intelligent. Intelligent? That is a synonym for the word "liberal?" I think not. Seriously? I mean, I'm not saying that liberals can't be intelligent--I might think they're stupid, but that doesn't necessarily make them unintelligent--but I don't think liberal = intelligent. Who's writing this thesaurus anyways? If I look up "conservative," is "dumb" going to be a synonym? Or maybe just "unintelligent" to make it sound better? Well, of course, I looked it up, and let me tell you some of the flattering words that came up as synonyms for conservative: redneck, obstinate, stick-in-the-mud, bitter-ender, fuddy-duddy, fearful, unimaginative, and--my personal favorite--fogyish. Fogyish. hahaha! Sounds like a perfect description of me if I've ever heard one.
Gee, thanks thesaurus.com.

I'm so sorry you had to experience a kidney stone!! It sounds awful and I do want to know if it really is comparable or worse than childbirth, please let us know!
Let's boycott thesaurus.com - that is rediculous - who writes these things? UGH!
Kidney stones?? I'm sorry for your suffering. On all fronts.
I've never had kidney stones, but I've heard they aren't pleasant to say the least. I've also heard they are comparable to childbirth, so you will have to let us know. (I prefer to have my babies drugged up (me, not the babies), so I don't know if I could make fair comparisons about childbirth pain vs. other types of pain). Anyway, I'm sorry you had to experience that!
Sorry to hear you had kidney stones. My Dad had kidney stones and he says it wasn't fun at all.
I have a friend who went through tons of kidney stones and people told her it was suppose to be as painful as childbirth. Then she had her first child not too long ago and she says that childbirth is much more painful then kidney stones.
Well, the night that this first hit me, I told Hamburglar that I felt like I was in labor. Horrible back ache, horrible abdominal pain. Totally felt like I was having a kid. Obviously it is all different to different people, some stones are larger than others too. Either way, it hurts like a bugger.
I still haven't totally "passed" mine...so I'll let you know once it's all done with. :)
Ohhhh....so sorry to hear that. I had kidney stones with my first two pregnancies. So not fun. They run in my family so I'm hoping I won't have another occurance. My poor mom has had to have lipthotripcy 3 times now to get rid of them and they keep coming back. She needs to change her diet, but I don't think that will happen.
Had a good laugh out loud moment at thesarus's synonym for liberal. Who the hell writes that stuff? Must be some academic who thinks grandly of his own intellect. Going to give them a good arse kicking tomorrow. Wish me luck.
PS...excuse my spelling errors please...not on fire fox and too lazy to spell check on windows.
Actually, liberal has been a positive term for over two centuries. It was only in this country in the past couple of decades that politicians used it to make it 'bad'. It just means progressive or forward thinking. Even as a self-proclaimed liberal, intelligent isn't correct. I mean, that's like saying pretty and young are synonyms, one doesn't always equal the other, just a lot of the times. ;-)
It sounds like the stones have passed. I hope you are all better. That thesaurus info is unbelievable. Shocking to be quite honest.
