Not to mention the drugs. I've been informed recently that the treatment that works best for me (Remicaid and Imuran combination) has been found to cause a nasty form of cancer in a small percentage of those taking it. I tried going with other options, but then the usual Crohn's symptoms flared and I was back to being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've gone back to the original set and will take the gamble.

It seems like rather a lot of people have Crohn's. A dude from AG that was here briefly before being banned also has Crohn's. And my ex-brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend also. I mean, it doesn't seem very rare, unless I just coincedentally know all these people.

It's the new "in" disease.

Actually, it was only "discovered" in 1932 by an Israeli doctor, Dr. Burrill B. Crohn. Since then, diseases that went under the general term gastroenteritis have been properly diagnosed.

Totally wolves.
"I know two things: One, I'm going down. Two, I'm taking a bunch of you with me."

Plus, I could use the exercise.

It figures that you above all others would want to die with your boots on.

How would you rather die?
 

Figuratively. ;)

:biggrin:

I need a none of the above option, man.

These are the stuff my bad dreams are made of.

Although the burning at the stake may actually be a past life recall ...

Pack of wolves sounded intriguing. Running for your life with a pack of these carnivous canines on you heels just sounded... really cool!

Damn near gave me an erection!

:eyebrow: ???

Wolf, please report to admissions. There is someone for you to see.

No, she probably WAS burned at the stake. I can believe it. Do I have to report to admissions, too? :)

Before you decide, I suggest you read this. :eyebrow:

I'm one of those go not gentle into that good night people ...

just a few thoughts on death being the Ultimate Pleasure:

Freud believed that humans were driven by two conflicting central desires: the life drive (libido) (survival, propagation, hunger, thirst, and sex) and the death drive (Thanatos). Freud's description of Cathexis, whose energy is known as libido, included all creative, life-producing drives. The death drive (or death instinct), whose energy is known as anticathexis, represented an urge inherent in all living things to return to a state of calm: in other words, an inorganic or dead state. Freud recognized Thanatos only in his later years and developed his theory on the death drive in Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Freud approached the paradox between the life drives and the death drives by defining pleasure and unpleasure. According to Freud, unpleasure refers to stimulus that the body receives. (For example, excessive friction on the skin's surface produces a burning sensation; or, the bombardment of visual stimuli amidst rush hour traffic produces anxiety.) Conversely, pleasure is a result of a decrease in stimuli (for example, a calm environment the body enters after having been subjected to a hectic environment). If pleasure increases as stimuli decreases, then the ultimate experience of pleasure for Freud would be zero stimulus, or death.

Interesting at least.

Yeah, first they had to catch you and off you went on your magic broomstick
