I see him every night.

He's in my dreams. When I close my eyes I can see him dancing as a silhouette against the sunset.

What a sensual man, and a generous lover.

Now that is quote-able, thanks noisy :)

Lol "generous lover"

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I pooped today!

I peed blood!

That's probably not normal!

Definitely not, the one time I peed blood led to me finding out I was only born with one kidney.

I wasn't either, but it's okay because you can live just fine with 1 kidney, that is unless you **** it up.  So when I found out that I had stage 4 kidney disease a few years ago that was a less than pleasant surprise, the good news though is that I have since discovered the cause of it and now have it controlled so I have moved out of stage 4 and I'm close to moving out of stage 3 as well :)

Thanks, me too!  Realistically, I probably won't get past ~75 GFR (GFR being the 1-100 scale that is used to determine kidney function) and that is perfectly fine with me, since when I found out about everything I was at 20 which is at the bottom end of stage 4 and the only option once you drop out of stage 4 is dialysis.  I've since recovered to around 50-55 when even my nephrologist didn't think I would get past 40, so as long as I monitor my blood pressure I will be able to live a normal life just like the people with two good kidneys :)

I have been looking at the recent medical advances pretty optimistically too, as if there was an option to have another kidney grown for me that would ease my mind a little.

What does it take to get that number climbing upwards?

In my case, it was just controlling my blood pressure at first and more recently, having a surgery that removed my adrenal gland as it had a growth on it that was causing problems. 

The blood pressure was the first and most important part, as I was hospitalized almost 3 years ago because I went into see a specialist for a routine visit but my blood pressure was a tad high at 270/140.  For those not familiar with blood pressure levels, you are supposed to be around 120/80 and the level I was at was easily within stroke territory.  Apparently my body had just gotten used to running at higher levels, and it took almost 6 days along with a daily dose of 25 pills for them to get it down and under control.  Once it was under control my kidney function slowly recovered but I really wanted to get off of the myriad of medication so I ran with some information that the original specialist had given me and went to see an endocrinologist.  The endocrinologist was great and got a surgery set up for me, and since that happened in November of 2015 I have dropped down to 10 pills a day and will likely drop to even less at my next visit.

Overall, I'm very happy with how things have turned around but I do have one major gripe about this whole process: the ****ing medical bills.  That hospital stay where I laid in bed for 5-6 days and just got pumped full of pills ran me almost $70K before insurance ($5k after) and the recent surgery that took about 30 minutes with another 12 hours laying in a bed to let the drugs wear off before I was discharged ran another $35K before insurance ($3k after).  That doesn't include my ~$150 monthly prescription cost (after co-pays) which I have happily reduced to around $50 since I'm not taking as much as before.

What's the deal with CC??

Does he need some medical marijuana for his back pains or something??

Everyone send Demik $5 so he can call his cartel to deliver the goods and get Clackorama back on GH.

In my case, it was just controlling my blood pressure at first and more recently, having a surgery that removed my adrenal gland as it had a growth on it that was causing problems. 

The blood pressure was the first and most important part, as I was hospitalized almost 3 years ago because I went into see a specialist for a routine visit but my blood pressure was a tad high at 270/140.  For those not familiar with blood pressure levels, you are supposed to be around 120/80 and the level I was at was easily within stroke territory.  Apparently my body had just gotten used to running at higher levels, and it took almost 6 days along with a daily dose of 25 pills for them to get it down and under control.  Once it was under control my kidney function slowly recovered but I really wanted to get off of the myriad of medication so I ran with some information that the original specialist had given me and went to see an endocrinologist.  The endocrinologist was great and got a surgery set up for me, and since that happened in November of 2015 I have dropped down to 10 pills a day and will likely drop to even less at my next visit.

Overall, I'm very happy with how things have turned around but I do have one major gripe about this whole process: the ****ing medical bills.  That hospital stay where I laid in bed for 5-6 days and just got pumped full of pills ran me almost $70K before insurance ($5k after) and the recent surgery that took about 30 minutes with another 12 hours laying in a bed to let the drugs wear off before I was discharged ran another $35K before insurance ($3k after).  That doesn't include my ~$150 monthly prescription cost (after co-pays) which I have happily reduced to around $50 since I'm not taking as much as before.

That's ****in awesome man! Kudos to you!

What's the deal with CC??

Does he need some medical marijuana for his back pains or something??

Everyone send Demik $5 so he can call his cartel to deliver the goods and get Clackorama back on GH.

Seems like a wise investment to me. 2K for a keycap is a no brainier, that's 2 months of rent for a chunk of plastic bird.

Emotional attachment or artist integrity aside, it would be foolish not to indulge that offer

You know there's better ways to get clacks ;)

seriously though, private trading is the way to go. i'll never make the mistake again of having another public clack sale.
