Woo! Another reminder that Toni exists~! I feel like Greg could milk a lot out of “early newlywed years” in addition to the “Luann and her weird college classmates” stuff.
That 6-8 glasses per day of water is probably the worst “health” advice anyone ever came up with. Really hard on the kidneys. And people still listen to it! (plus no, all the liquid in food plus coffee and more does count toward your liquid intake, despite what they said).
Not saying much but The Count is sure Ann Eiffel’s pillow talk is a LOT better >:9 OH… and Toni could do a hella lot better than that dork. He must have money.
The last time I remodeled the bathroom, I installed a urinal. (It was supposed to be an antique claw-foot tub). My Wife is disabled, so we decided on a shower-stall instead of the old bathtub….. but I didn’t want a home without a tub, so I moved a wall three feet, (which made the “laundry room” a bit smaller), and made a rather large shower unit. Unfortunately, the shower took up more room than I thought and the claw-foot tub wouldn’t fit the way I wanted it to,……… so I installed a urinal, instead.
……… Makes my dark walks and business in the bathroom much more convenient.
Brad – no one cares about how much water you drank or that you stubbed your toe. Quit whining, stop chugging so much water, buy a pair of slippers and pay attention to the cues your wife is giving you.
Having caught up with Luann strips for the last 2 weeks, all I can say is Luann is such a prude. No wonder Nancy and Bernice tried to hide their shared interests from her. She is such a simpleton while Nancy and Bernice are complicated women. I loved to read those books – they were my escape. Yeah, I used the past tense. I got bored with them They became repetitious and has a formula romantic writers tend to follow. Too predictable. A nice read for a boring day up in the mountains – perhaps one day I will do just that.
true story, my b.i.l. stubbed his big toe a month or so ago real bad and never had it checked. Right before Christmas he notices the skin was rubbed off and was showing the bare flesh, and oozing gunk. Finally went to his doctor. He said “get to an E.R. immediately!” They admitted him for testing, found infection deep into the bone. Toe had to be amputated and he is now on 6 weeks of I.V. antibiotics.
I know a lot of people are posting their surgical war stories, and I really feel for them, as a nurse, an Army vet, or just a dude who hasn’t endured what you have. And forgive me if I say I hope I never do. However, 2 1/2 years ago—July 13, 2020—I went under the knife to have two valves in my heart replaced, and to repair an aortic aneurysm. I was lights out for about 8 hours. And yes, since they had to stop my heart, technically I was dead. I spent close to a month in the hospital (and COVID was in full swing back then), and two months on disability. My heart is fine now, but I have to take warfarin (aka Coumadin) for the rest of my life, as well as periodic blood draws.

Well, in cold weather some people feel more like going to the bathroom, and drinking plenty even more.

I try to find a balance between being hydrated enough to not get leg cramps & not having to get up to use the bathroom.

The smarter toes should have told the dumb one to be careful. When all else fails, blame in the intelligence of the toe.

Wait about twenty-five years and it’ll happen whether you hydrate or not.

After all, toes are for finding things in the dark. The subsequent yelling is for warning others that a hazard is present.

RolloTheGrouch over 1 year ago
How long have these two lovebirds been married?
Their wedding was well after Luann started Junior College, and she’s not past her second year yet (apparently).
18 months is a mighty short time for a marriage to a hottie to go stale.
Sisyphos over 1 year ago
Ouch! I sympathize with Brad. Even having a nightlight, I still can manage to stub one toe or another sometimes!
But he does have the consolation of sleeping with Toni!
