RITA'S XXXVII: Habits Old and New

[Ronald Bryan]

Apparently, my neighbor thought it was OK to throw a loud party last night at 1 AM. The slamming doors and yelling seemed to suggest otherwise.

[Paul McEnery]

Now you've learned:

I'll never change, nor will you miss anything at all by ignoring what I say

Except someone else's highly amusing cartoons!

[Ronald Bryan]

Now you've learned:

I'll never change, nor will you miss anything at all by ignoring what I say
I change daily. Shower daily, too.

[Guapo Méndez]

He's how old?

Almost 7.
He told us that he doesn't like to be named Marco because, in spanish that's the word for picture and door frames. One time her teacher said "oh, what a nice frame (marco)" and Marco stood up and hugged her in thanks. Classmates laughed at this, so he's going for a name that does not mean common household items.

[Athena Bast]

Now you've learned:

I'll never change, nor will you miss anything at all by ignoring what I say

but but... Viggo is so sexy when he's a dark and brooding and dirty... but when he's his normal blond self I find him wholly unattractive.

[Guapo Méndez]

I'm just imagining it's real hard to take your mum seriously when she's doing the whole name scold.

Mark Anthony Méndez, you go to your room!
But ma, I'm the Emperor of Rome!
You'll still do as you're told!

"No, you got killed because you were trying to shag a foreign princess with an appaling family life! Go to your room!"

[thespianphryne]

Apparently, my neighbor thought it was OK to throw a loud party last night at 1 AM. The slamming doors and yelling seemed to suggest otherwise.

Should've invited the door slammers and yellers.

My downstairs neighbour at one of my old places used to complain because we had no carpeting. One day (halloween) he comes up to complain, ostensibly because we're being loud. My roomie and I had decided to do drag that year: he was a Pink lady and I was a T-Bird. The guy takes one look at us and the rest of the party. "Never mind," he says. "Enjoy your party. See you later." And leaves.

Best complaint to my face ever.

You didn't cycle off? You went cold-turkey off buproprion? You're lucky you didn't have a seizure. I have issues with ob-gyns prescribing psychotropic substances, particularly if they were the sample packs handed out like candy by the big pharmaceuticals. I hate to sound like a nay-sayer but there are dark days coming in this regard.

I think it will be a bright day when physicians stop prescribing outside their areas of competence. I'm a strong believer that physicians should have specialty certification in order to prescribe various sorts of meds. A lot of unnecessary prescription addiction occurs because of GPs inappropriately prescribing and dosing pain meds, tranquilizers and the like.

I also look forward to when docs of all stripes start getting dinged for not following the AMA/American Psychiatric Association protocols about referring people for therapy along with most psychiatric meds, rather than just prescribing the meds - something that happens way too often.

[Ray R.]

Hmmm...I'm surprised then that we haven't already seen suits relating to this. Maybe it's right there, bubbling under the threshold mark. It would be a real riot and not in the fun way.


-Das

Well, Vioxx was on the market for five years, until the company voluntarily pulled it. That's when the roof caved in and every class action lawyer in every state in the country started lining up class plaintiffs. It's now a cottage legal industry like phenphen and certain diet drugs.

If that happens for any of the recent SSRIs and/or other anti-depressant/anxiety meds, it's going to be massive and ugly. I've heard about suits involving Prozac, Zoloft, and a few others, but they were generally limited in scope and didn't have widespread implications. Yet.

On a separate note, I'm wondering what happens when the twenty-year studies come back on laser eye surgeries, and what kind of long term impacts they have.

[K'Nort]

On a separate note, I'm wondering what happens when the twenty-year studies come back on laser eye surgeries, and what kind of long term impacts they have.

Exactly why I've never considered getting it.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Actually, that's really interesting to me: how are ObG's allowed to prescribe psych drugs?


In the US, with a few exceptions, pretty much any MD or DO can prescribe pretty much any medication. This makes about as much sense as having a podiatrist perform neurosurgery. There is the assumption that an ethical physician will not prescribe outside his/her competency area, but this is often a false assumption. The biggest practical limitation is that many malpractice policies dictate that people prescribe only within specific limits of practice,

[Athena Bast]

Almost 7.
He told us that he doesn't like to be named Marco because, in spanish that's the word for picture and door frames. One time her teacher said "oh, what a nice frame (marco)" and Marco stood up and hugged her in thanks. Classmates laughed at this, so he's going for a name that does not mean common household items.

OMG.. think of the beautiful metaphors and other such poetic devices...

But he's also 7... at least he doesn't want to be called Captain Underpants or something.

[Paul McEnery]

"No, you got killed because you were trying to shag a foreign princess with an appaling family life! Go to your room!"

"Ah, go hug an asp!"

[Paul McEnery]

So, what did Cleopatra say when she tried on a new outfit?

Does my ...

Oh never mind.

[Chris Nowlin]

I change daily. Shower daily, too.

I showered yesterday. I would've today but by leaving as soon as I woke up, I got a ride to school.

[Athena Bast]

My blacksmithing at stuck in 302. I do have nice stacks of Fel Iron, Adamantite and a growing pile of Eternium.

I'm currently making cash on the Thorium Shield Spikes. Essences of Earth plummeted to less than a gold apiece and what, 10 gold for a stack of Thorium?

I sell each for 24g, easy.

my lvl 52 pally has 300 blacksmithing and I was trying to get her into Dire Maul to pass in her Armoursmithing books.

[Guapo Méndez]

"Ah, go hug an asp!"

"Dad doesn't come home until 9, you know that."

[Athena Bast]

Exactly why I've never considered getting it.

I'm too chicken to know someone is going to slice open my eye and I'm not supposed to wince or think about it.

If there's a lasering without the slicing I'm all for it otherwise there's no slicing and I'll see about contacts.

And now that I have health insurance I don't have to pay for the glasses or the contacts. Or at least 80% of them.

[Deathstroke]

Damn, this is what I hate about Rita's. I didn't have time to get online at work today and I get here now and there's 60 new pages of replies.

My gawd Joe Rice! And I thought I was hairy.

[Chris Nowlin]

Damn, this is what I hate about Rita's. I didn't have time to get online at work today and I get here now and there's 60 new pages of replies.

My gawd Joe Rice! And I thought I was hairy.

You missed little.

In other news, pizza is at 7.

I'm sure I have work to be doing but what...

oh, yeah. Grading.

But you remember me finishing grading earlier today, you say? Well, I have more as another assignment was due today

[Ronald Bryan]

Lucky. I want pizza.

I mean, not right now. I'm about to make some chicken soft tacos which will be quite good (fingers crossed). I just mean in general, I want pizza.

[Guapo Méndez]

my lvl 52 pally has 300 blacksmithing and I was trying to get her into Dire Maul to pass in her Armoursmithing books.

I got books 1 and 2 and the bottom half of 3. Top half of 3 is hard to come by in Silver Hand.

I don't know if I'm keeping Armorsmithing, though. The top maces in Hammersmithing looks pretty good.

[K'Nort]

I also picked up two Lawrence Bloch books on Nate C.'s suggestion, and two Walter Mosley books because Lone Ranger reminded me of him.

The only Mosley I have is Fearless Jones but I enjoyed it.

[Athena Bast]

I got books 1 and 2 and the bottom half of 3. Top half of 3 is hard to come by in Silver Hand.

I didn't have any other plans for her really.

My dran warrior is going swordsmith.

[Athena Bast]

Eeeee....

TLC is replaying the series premiere of LA Ink before showing the new ep tonight.

*squee*

[Ray R.]

Is it a sign of mid-life crisis that, as age 40 approaches in October, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo....specifically, the Japanese symbols for peace - heiwa -- put on my shoulder?

Someone tell me I'm either crazy or not crazy at this point.

[Paul McEnery]

Is it a sign of mid-life crisis that, as age 40 approaches in October, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo....specifically, the Japanese symbols for peace - heiwa -- put on my shoulder?

You're hella late to the party, I can tell you that much.


















Yes. The use of the word "hella" is intentional.

That actually sounds kind of cool.

And there are far worse things to do when you turn 40.

Go big or go home.

[Ray R.]

You're hella late to the party, I can tell you that much.


Yes. The use of the word "hella" is intentional.

That's a fair criticism, no doubt. I guess I'm looking at it as sort of a physical manifestation of a rite of passage -- the death of my marriage, the growth of my new life, my embracing of a new inner peace.

If all it boils down to is a miserable attempt to put some symbolism in place, which I'll end up regretting when I get older, well, that's something different entirely. That's why I'm unsure whether I'm not looking at this objectively enough......

[K'Nort]

My mother recently got up the nerve to get a tattoo and she's 58. I think it's Chinese.

And rants about authenticity are impolite.

[Deathstroke]

You just go to the last page and pretend everything else was stupid.

OHHHHHH that's the secret. :D

[Athena Bast]

That's a fair criticism, no doubt. I guess I'm looking at it as sort of a physical manifestation of a rite of passage -- the death of my marriage, the growth of my new life, my embracing of a new inner peace.

I could make an analogy towards marriage and tattoos but I don't want to be cruel at this sensitive time.

[Paul McEnery]

which I'll end up regretting when I get older.

Heh.

Write your own goddamn punchline.







Oh, and go for it.

As I understand kids these days are wont to say.

Dude.

[Deathstroke]

Any Firefly/Serenity fans ever see this A Man Called Jayne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x390egmJCg%20) video clip?

I laughed my butt off.

[Athena Bast]

My mother recently got up the nerve to get a tattoo and she's 58. I think it's Chinese.

And rants about authenticity are impolite.

On Miami Ink, an 80 year old woman came in an got a nice script capital "A" on her shoulder. She wanted something nice and dignified because the ladies in her building were quite the gossips but she didn't give a <bleep>.

The looks on Ami's and Nunez's faces were priceless hearing an 80 year old granny curse.

[Ray R.]

My mother recently got up the nerve to get a tattoo and she's 58. I think it's Chinese.

And rants about authenticity are impolite.

I figured it would be on my shoulder, so it wouldn't really be noticeable at work or anywhere but the pool or the shower, so it's not about being "show-offy" at all. I will never pass for a hipster hanging with the kids no matter what I do....

I guess I just never made the mind/body symbolism connection until recently. Thanks for sharing the story of your mom. That's actually inspiring. And the Japanese kanji are originally of Chinese origin, so I'd be doing basically the same as your mom.

[Ray R.]

I could make an analogy towards marriage and tattoos but I don't want to be cruel at this sensitive time.

Oh hit me. Believe you me, I'm about as thick-skinned as you can get at this point.

[Paul McEnery]

I figured it would be on my shoulder, so it wouldn't really be noticeable at work or anywhere but the pool or the shower, so it's not about being "show-offy" at all. I will never pass for a hipster hanging with the kids no matter what I do....

None of the really cool kids do.

I now recommend you read the new Warren Ellis book.

[Chris Nowlin]

Yes. The use of the word "hella" is intentional.

Far as I can tell, it pegs you as a San Franciscan.

Do others use this word?

[Paul McEnery]

I could make an analogy towards marriage and tattoos but I don't want to be cruel at this sensitive time.

It costs you an arm and a leg to get rid of them?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!




I've been married. I'm allowed.

[Ray R.]

None of the really cool kids do.

I now recommend you read the new Warren Ellis book.

I'm intrigued, but also haven't bought comics in a while. What's the title?

She a big Captain America fan?

[Athena Bast]

Oh hit me. Believe you me, I'm about as thick-skinned as you can get at this point.

It's just basically if you're not careful it's going to be expensive to get it removed.

[StarsAndGarters]

My mother recently got up the nerve to get a tattoo and she's 58. I think it's Chinese.

And rants about authenticity are impolite.

Wow... that really doesn't sound like your mom.

Not the rebellious tattoo part. That's totally up her alley. It's the Chinese character might or might not actually mean what she thinks it means that really doesn't compute for me.

And by rebellious, I mean rebelling against being 58.

[Athena Bast]

It costs you an arm and a leg to get rid of them?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!




I've been married. I'm allowed.

Who was crazy enough to do something like that?

[Paul McEnery]

Far as I can tell, it pegs you as a San Franciscan.

Do others use this word?

Valley, actually.

I believe the current ironic usage is "hecka".

And you've heard me speak, and I think you would understand how much I enjoy using it.

[Athena Bast]

I'm intrigued, but also haven't bought comics in a while. What's the title?

It's a hardcover, regular book, mostly print, no pictures.

[Paul McEnery]

Who was crazy enough to do something like that?

Me.
..............

[Guapo Méndez]

I'm intrigued, but also haven't bought comics in a while. What's the title?

Probably "Me bleeding arse hates comics". By comics writer Warren Ellis.

[Ray R.]

It's just basically if you're not careful it's going to be expensive to get it removed.

That actually made me laugh out loud. Dark humor rules.

[Athena Bast]

She a big Captain America fan?

Yeah, it was her tribute to the big guy.. that and her name was Anne I think.

[K'Nort]

I figured it would be on my shoulder, so it wouldn't really be noticeable at work or anywhere but the pool or the shower, so it's not about being "show-offy" at all. I will never pass for a hipster hanging with the kids no matter what I do....

She picked 'laugh.' As a reminder. She sometimes needs it.

It's only visible with very low-cut tops.

Or when she's visiting and comes out of the bathroom post-shower in a towel and stands around chatting until I notice it.

[Chris Nowlin]

Valley, actually.

I believe the current ironic usage is "hecka".

And you've heard me speak, and I think you would understand how much I enjoy using it.

I've been using "hecka" for almost 20 years now.

[Paul McEnery]

Crooked Little Vein.

Best midlife crisis book I've read in a while.

IIRC, Warren's turning 40.

[K'Nort]

It's just basically if you're not careful it's going to be expensive to get it removed.

I've been saying for years that if I were an investor, that's where I'd put my money.

[Athena Bast]

Alrighty.. time to switch from soda to water and put another incense stick on the burner to cover up the Mary Jane stench from somewhere in this damn building.

[darkhanamaru]

Be black. get a brand.



...and before anyone gets on me, this is something black frats do commonly, 'cause only white boys get tattoos.

[Paul McEnery]

Probably "Me bleeding arse hates comics". By comics writer Warren Ellis.

"Then stop stuffing them up there!"

I miss the old absorbent paper.

[Ray R.]

I've been told that 40 is the new 30 though, so I shouldn't worry about it.:rolleyes:

I hope you mean the silicon valley for hella is staight up bay area.

[Paul McEnery]

I've been using "hecka" for almost 20 years now.

And now you're hip again!

Ain't fashion cool?

[darkhanamaru]

Thanks.

I've been told that 40 is the new 30 though, so I shouldn't worry about it.:rolleyes:

you know you are firmly in the demographic for a second marriage and another set of kids.

[K'Nort]

Not the rebellious tattoo part. That's totally up her alley. It's the Chinese character might or might not actually mean what she thinks it means that really doesn't compute for me.

It means the right thing to her. Beyond that, people get way too uptight and in other people's business. Especially for some reason regarding anything Asian. Like how to eat sushi.

[Ray R.]

Be black. get a brand.



...and before anyone gets on me, this is something black frats do commonly, 'cause only white boys get tattoos.

I had hallmates who were Omegas. Those were some bad-ass brands.

Oh, that's easy.

On someone else's nickel.

Christ!

Let the man get out of the shark pool before you throw him back in.

:eek:

[K'Nort]

Thanks.

I've been told that 40 is the new 30 though, so I shouldn't worry about it.:rolleyes:

And 60 is the new 40.

Damn boomers.

[darkhanamaru]

Christ!

Let the man get out of the shark pool before you throw him back in.

he was the one who brought up his age...:P

[Chris Nowlin]

Off to pizza.

Then home at last.

I realise I've only been here 8 hours, and to many an 8 hour workday seems par for the course, but... well, I'm not used to it and frankly already sick of it.

And this was day 4...

[Paul McEnery]

And 60 is the new 40.

Damn boomers.

60 is the new one and three quarters.

Mind, so is Republican, from what I hear.

[Ray R.]

you know you are firmly in the demographic for a second marriage and another set of kids.

Not a chance. No more kids. No more marriage. I may be selfish about this, but I just worked almost twenty years of my life to get to this point, and now I'm back to square one financially.

Screw law, screw suburbia, screw Starbucks, screw two-hour commutes, screw minivans, and screw needy people who attach themself to you like parasites, and screw corporate taskmasters who would rather consider you part of an actuarial table or statistic bell curve than as a human being. Yes, I'm at manifesto stage.....

Personally, I've been by myself for fifteen months now, and I've never been happier.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Any day now, you're going to make the headlines. And I'm going to be able to proudly point and say "I knew him way back when".

[Ray R.]

I am joking, joking...thought i would have fun pointing out the stats.

Oh, I know. I'm just venting at your expense. Enjoy your youth (or at least your youthful attitude) while you still have it, young lady.....

And stay out of my yard!

[Athena Bast]

I want to get a recording of an angry dog barking and play it everytime some dunderhead runs up or down the bloody stairs. Scare them straight or fall and twist their ankle.

[darkhanamaru]

ok i am off to watch football. remember to save me from all those british men paul...:D

[darkhanamaru]

Oh, I know. I'm just venting at your expense. Enjoy your youth (or at least your youthful attitude) while you still have it, young lady.....

And stay out of my yard!

I am 33 ray. do i qualify as youthful?

[Paul McEnery]

you know you are firmly in the demographic for a second marriage and another set of kids.

And I'd just like to point out that my nipples are tight with fear.

[StarsAndGarters]

She picked 'laugh.' As a reminder. She sometimes needs it.

It's only visible with very low-cut tops.

Or when she's visiting and comes out of the bathroom post-shower in a towel and stands around chatting until I notice it.

Now I've got a weird feeling that she's actually there and showing you right now. You told me they were coming to visit but you didn't say when!

Which really couldn't be since you said the trains are all full, but I'll put all the meat on the grill for dinner anyway anyway. Starting... now.

It means the right thing to her. Beyond that, people get way too uptight and in other people's business. Especially for some reason regarding anything Asian. Like how to eat sushi.

That's true. I would assume it's a very personal thing, and I certainly wouldn't knock the idea at all. I just hope she double checked. Your brother would have some knowledge in that field, right? Wasn't he in the Far East when he was in the navy?

[darkhanamaru]

And I'd just like to point out that my nipples are tight with fear.

just remember to wear a tight shirt when i see you honey ...

[Ray R.]

Any day now, you're going to make the headlines. And I'm going to be able to proudly point and say "I knew him way back when".

For some reason I see this as a set-up to a Unabomber joke.

I'll have you know, my dilapidated shack will have a unique feng shui aspect to it, plus I'll have the cool tat. I'm no cultureless Luddite.

[Paul McEnery]

I want to get a recording of an angry dog barking and play it everytime some dunderhead runs up or down the bloody stairs. Scare them straight or fall and twist their ankle.

Razorwire.

He was stationed in Tokyo for six years, yes.

[Ray R.]

I am 33 ray. do i qualify as youthful?

Well, you fall into the younger demographic for a new woman for me to marry and have kids with.

Whoops. I've said too much.

[ragnarok_2012]

Thanks.

I've been told that 40 is the new 30 though, so I shouldn't worry about it.:rolleyes:

According to JLU, 65 is the new 30.

So I'm going with that.

[Paul McEnery]

For some reason I see this as a set-up to a Unabomber joke.

I'll have you know, my dilapidated shack will have a unique feng shui aspect to it, plus I'll have the cool tat. I'm no cultureless Luddite.

I've seen that shack. Can't remember where, but they showed it off as part of an art exhibit or something.

Looked just like a shack.

[Paul McEnery]

According to JLU, 65 is the new 30.

So I'm going with that.

Yeah, but that's in comic book years.

[Ray R.]

According to JLU, 65 is the new 30.

So I'm going with that.

Good thinking. Wildcat is like what, eighty by now? Green Lantern predates the vulcanization of rubber. The Golden Age flash had grey hair in 1942.

I'm only as old as Geoff Johns writes me.

[Paul McEnery]

Well, you fall into the younger demographic for a new woman for me to marry and have kids with.

Whoops. I've said too much.

Sheesh. I turn my back for a minute...

[Athena Bast]

Razorwire.

Naw... then they can say I did it on purpose.

The recording lends itself to an alibi.

[Paul McEnery]

Good thinking. Wildcat is like what, eighty by now? Green Lantern predates the vulcanization of rubber. The Golden Age flash had grey hair in 1942.

I'm only as old as Geoff Johns writes me.

Or as raped, or burnt alive, or...














Yes, I know that was Meltzer. Thank you.

[Ray R.]

Sheesh. I turn my back for a minute...

I can't compete with your nipples and absence of ass. I concede defeat.

[Paul McEnery]

Naw... then they can say I did it on purpose.

The recording lends itself to an alibi.

You can't leave fingerprints on razorwire.

And it's so funny when the momentum keeps them going for five or ten yards before they realize they're running on stumps. It's just like Wile E. Coyote.

[Athena Bast]

Only 34 pieces of seafood to go

[Ray R.]

Or as raped, or burnt alive, or...


Yes, I know that was Meltzer. Thank you.

It will all make sense if you pay for the "Director's Cut."

[Athena Bast]

You can't leave fingerprints on razorwire.

And it's so funny when the momentum keeps them going for five or ten yards before they realize they're running on stumps. It's just like Wile E. Coyote.

What about epitheli-thingies?

I was thinking along the lines of barbed wire earlier.

It will all make sense if you pay for the "Director's Cut."

And in fifteen to twenty years, the story that "changed the face of the universe" will be obsolete, as a baker's dozen of other books have done the same since.

Is it a sign of mid-life crisis that, as age 40 approaches in October, I'm thinking of getting a tatto
o....specifically, the Japanese symbols for peace - heiwa -- put on my shoulder?

Someone tell me I'm either crazy or not crazy at this point.

Nope, not crazy. I wanted one on my 40th but as I am married I had to do some negotiating, on my 41st I got one on my right shoulder in memory of my cat Murphy. It is a very sweet kitty face, I want to get another on the other shoulder in the same style but of a tough alley cat to balance the yin yang.

For the record, it's cool for you folks to fight and all that. I don't expect people to be all hugs and kisses all the time. And it's cool to not like everyone, and even say you don't like another poster.

Just do not let it devolve into insults and nonsense like that.

That's both a deevolution AND an escalation, and it just isn't gonna fly, so just putting that warning out there - do not seriously start calling other posters "assholes" or "douchebags" or whatever.

I will hand out some bans, so be forewarned for when I get, "What? Why did ____ get banned?," etc.

Strangely enough, they used the codename of one of my characters as the name of an even villain (The Winter King).

For the sake of simplicity, you can only visit one place and you only have a few moments to choose.

You are awesome by the way. Even though you have some inner desire to see Hal and Buddy make out.

Have you ever considered naming your dog "Paw"?

It would go quite nicely with your username.

Fair enough.

I really dig Strange Days, and I happened to catch it on tv (watching it now, in fact).

No worries.

I don't bother with the descriptions. I have one that's a Mastermind on CoV "Forefinger 2", and his description is "Insane killer. With Ninja!" That's about as creative as I get with it. Oh, do I need to tell you what my battle cry is?

Otherwise yeah, that was a bleak time.

I'm going back to bed now. Have fun.

[Forefinger]

Dear Forefinger,

The Big Lebowski. The whole thing is just great. I never realized how many other people dug it as much, or more than I do until I saw that there is a Lebowskifest or something like that in some town every year. Other than that my favorites are always Fight Club, Fistfull of Dollors, and others with kickass quasi-heroes.

Is it a sign of mid-life crisis that, as age 40 approaches in October, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo....specifically, the Japanese symbols for peace - heiwa -- put on my shoulder?

Someone tell me I'm either crazy or not crazy at this point.Yes, it's a sign of mid-life crisis. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You should, however, resist the urge to put cliches on your person. Come up with something unusual and personal, and then don't explain it to everybody who comments on it.

I don't understand why some people drink Pepsi. It's because we're smarter.

If it were me - I wouldn't do it. Watching the way my body has shifted over the last 15 years makes me glad that I didn't get a tatoo when everyone I knew was getting them circa 1990.

If you are going to do it - make sure you know want to see it there in 10 years, 20 years etc...

Personally, I think you should get a CCA stamp tatoo.

I dunno I think Ray would look good with a Mike Tyson type tattoo.

I love the smell of Airplane in the morning.


I'm heading off to meet Kat at the Doctor's for a check-up. We are now in week 33 - aka the home strectch. I hope that everything is fine. The baby is a kicking machine, so I think that's a good sign.
