Dusty Chalk Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Uh...what? No! Need to talk to you all about Lasik, too. She seemed to say some outdated things in that area, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I did get my eyes dilated in a test in preparation for my lasik. I forget why, off the top of my head, and don't care to delve deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Today's lesson kids - Nate did not successfully find and/or close the bat entrance to his bedroom. Results: 1. The NH bat population has been reduced by one assuming another spawn of satan has not already sprung free from the clutches of hell. 2. I will now sleep with a tennis racket under the bed. 3. It's 2:45est and I'm drinking. It's noon somewhere, right? FML 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sorry Nate. Good luck with the sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudeWolf Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I once got bitten by a bat when I was little. Don't think that I bacame rabbid or batman. Then again many things bit me when I was little - starting from a hornet to my granma who had the nasty habbit of tickling me to death and biting me in the ass. Maybe I'm bathornetgrannyman. The old gramps was an ambulance driver and she's documented as the holder of the land speed record for one of them old soviet "Latvija" ambulances. If im not mistaken she pushed 147km/h with one of these rockets- It had a 2.13 liter inline 4 cilinder engine with 95hp and whopping 19Nm of torque at around 2000rpm. The oficial declared top speed was 120km/h, but alas - the guy who was making the engine at the factory probably was in a good mood that day. Funnily enough her husband worked in such a factory.

n_maher Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 On the advice of counsel I'm at the ER waiting to get the first in a series of rabbits shots instead of going for a nice bike ride. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Just preventative. If I'd had any actual contact I would have been in last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 What they said, good luck with the bats. Don't use a bat to whack-a-bat. It's probably a bat idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 The preventative shots suck, but glad you were not bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Home already...because they've had so many bat incidents lately that they ran out of some of the shots. So back I go tomorrow in the late afternoon for 3 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpelg Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 That sucks Nate.

jvlgato Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ugh. Sorry Nate, that's awful. Those are some freaky ass creatures. Cool to watch from a distance. Scary up close. Downright creepy inside your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Sorry for the pain and hassle, Nate. Better safe than sorry though. Sorry that you felt ill, Jacob. If you like naps, you'll love retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Good luck Nate, hopefully no further visits will be required after this (last?) one. Regarding naps: many years ago we were implementing a new Finance system in our Japanese subsidiary. The Controller there was a smart and nice gent Yanaga-san. EVERY day of the 2 weeks I was there - and I was told it was basically every day - he would stop work at pretty much precisely noon, eat a brown bag lunch for 5-10 minutes, and then simply fold his arms on the table, rest his head, and nap for the remainder of lunch hour. Always back up by 1:00. I can still picture him to this day.....certainly one of the more relaxed and easygoing people with whom I've worked.

acidbasement Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Playing the headline slot with my original band at the Harvest Sun Music Festival tonight. Gonna be 2.5 hours of awesome, followed by no more rehearsals for quite awhile (I need a break!). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
