Surgery, Monday morning.
Friday, November 4, 2011 by Snowman | Discussion: Community
Monday morning 8AM (Real world time)
I'm having my gallbladder removed. It's been causeing me nothing but trouble the past years.
OUT!! BE GONE, YOU FOUL THING!
Nervous? Not the slightest. I'm actually looking forward to it!
The procedure is quite "simple". Can be done in one of two ways.
1. They poke 4 sticks through my belly, and cut it out that way - and I'll be released the same day. (For some serious pampering by my girlfriend) ![]()
2. They drag out the big chainsaw, slice my up and remove it the 'old style' way - 2-3 days recovering in hospital. (Fuck that.....)
I'll update my Facebook about the progress from Monday afternoon - when or if I wake up. ![]()

Alright so I take it the Karma thing is something good? And you give it to each other? (sorry but you guys will need to know I'm totally stingy and I ain't giving mines away so think twice before you give me any) hehe!

It's given as a reward for a good deed or thought you wish to recognize... what you give is not deducted from yours.. simply added to the recipient.
Say you received help from a member on a problem, or someone expressed a nice thought about you or wished something good for you - maybe just a joke when you were down. You would click the thumbs up button on the bottom left of the reply box (which helped or you approved of) and a dialog box opens, and according to your access level, could award karma. Say you are a Master Apprentice: You could award +3, +2 or +1 karma points.... doesn't do much, but it's a way of saying 'good on ya' or 'thanks'. You can also do it from the persons karma box on their page.

Great, now I'm going to turn into some kind of Karma bum standing at the corner of each thread begging w/ my Karma cup in hand...

hehe I was going to give you some Karma Wizard but you're my competition! My brain just woke up and I see snowy has not had his surgery yet but is rather going under the knife tomorrow so he's most likely been drinking up all the beer and eating up all the foods he's not suppose to drink and eat prior to surgery. I'll have to keep poking in to see how that snowman is doing. These days they have things called iPads and wifi connections in hospitals so there is no excuse for snowy to not keep us posted (unless of course they have to break out that chain saw on him)

Don't look now, but it's 7 to 1318......I don't think competition is the correct word...lol.

@ Doc: There's just so many things wrong with that picture.
1: I don't work that corner on trash day.
2: I'm in a No Parking Zone
3:Those heels don't go with that dress.

Jafoooo!!!!!!!! Come on now you've forgotten everything about me already!? You know I was hatched in Brooklyn NY but I am currently living in Cali. Nice to see you and I hope all is going good in your neck of the woods? I just wanted to come and sign Snowy's Get Well Card and now I'm already getting sucked back into the black hole that is theee message board...
(Wizard black pumps go w/ "anything" jussss lose the mustache and all is good)

Doreen you haven't been on here for 4 years. You must have been busy doing important things. Sorry you missed the Karma explosion during that time. Doesn't really matter as Doc and wiz took most of it.
Nothing too important really (just hanging out w/ a certain dutch guy over at some deserted skinning ezine) but hey look my Karma # has now jumped to 12!?
Anyways, how is that snowman doing? If it was done by Lap you're most likely doing fine and the only reason you have not posted is cuz you've got your girlfriend serving you by hand and foot! (when you know you could run a marathon by today if you had to)
