I'd like to avoid an invasive procedure if I could but it's completely hereditary; my mother and grandmother both have had severe gastrointestinal issues. My mom tried to put off the surgery when her's wouldn't contract but it ended up just messing up her digestive system more. It sucks because I'm all about improving my health without pills or procedures but I'm afraid I'll just end up worse in the long run if I don't get it removed.elmagicochrisg wrote:That's too bad.

But if the gallbladder doesn't contract, then it's of no use...
Ask why it doesn't contract, and see if there are other less invasive solutions before opting for surgery...

Just googled it and it seems a lot of people feel better right after surgery. So that should make you feel more at ease... ^^
Maybe drink a little apple cider vinegar with water after every meal from now on.
It's not only healthy, but it should help you digest your food better...

Smilies: 4-Day Weekend (MEA Weekend).
Frownsies: The chill in the air has hindered my motivation to dive into any meaningful projects (that need to be done) and i'll probably just bum around and watch movies w/the kids and play games. <<<< In some ways thats a smile too though I suppose.

Smile: Oh, only seeing George Watsky...and meeting him.

He was at my university to do a show for us, which was really cool, even if he only got 50 people max. He's a super down-to-earth guy, really plays off the audience and is ridiculously funny.
More smile: Got in this promo for Video Game TV's special on Star Worlds Arcade.
I'm the guy in the Blackhawks sweatshirt and Keith Apicary shirt at 0:28.
The show will be airing starting on Friday, and I was interviewed for it (talking about Donkey Kong Jr.) if anyone's interested in watching. Some really big names will be on it, like Walter Day, Tim McVey, and Todd Rogers.

Ticked: People in business should not send corporate wide emails about their political or religious views. Not to be a jerk, but if you run customer service lines, you're probably not smart enough to form a correct opinion on occupancy of a Nation.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
In my experience, people in customer service despise about every caller, and every person in general. Their job seems to be more of getting rid of customers so they don't have to put in effort rather than actually making the customer happy. There is a very "Ugh, everyone is an idiot except for me" attitude associated with everyone I've worked with in customer service. People with this attitude aren't smart enough to know when they make their own mistakes, and not qualified to run a Nation.noiseredux wrote:how is this not being a jerk?Luke wrote:Not to be a jerk, but if you run customer service lines, you're probably not smart enough to form a correct opinion on occupancy of a Nation.
I don't think that's being jerky. And not to say there may one day be someone in customer service who can run a country, I haven't met that person yet though.
