I had one develop starting in middle school. Hereditary component for me as my dad has one as well. Anyhow, had a food impacting during basic training, they had to do an endoscopy to clear it out. Finally got it taken care of a couple years later with another endoscopy where they actually fixed the hernia. I was on ranitidine a couple months pre-op then a couple years after. No issues since, as long as I don’t eat like a pig before bed, and generally maintain a healthy diet, I don’t get any reflux.
That’s been my struggle so far: diet. I have so many work and social dinners and cocktail parties and the worst for me is alcohol. It really hurts if I have any without Tums and Pepcid. I’d like the hernia fixed but it’s too small for the surgeon to say it’s worth it.

OK. Fuck all this BS. My director of less than two weeks called me today to give me a heads up (He was VERY cool about it) me to start using "proper" pronouns for peeps at work. Apparently I said "what's up man" to a dude that identifiers as a woman. I have NO fuckin idea who that could have been since I have met at least a dozen he/she's/them/they/cat/dog these 1st days.

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT I am pissed.

No. It’s not your responsibility to participate in someone else’s mental illness. Ask a lawyer and he/she will agree.

First day at new job. I'm clearly an old fart. I came dressed for work (slacks, collared shirt, shoes etc). These "kids" are all in fuckin pajama bottoms...have blue hair, tats etc.

Looking professional has gone the way of the dodo.

Anyone who looks down on you for not drinking or being careful with your diet at an event like that can eat a bag of dicks. “I’m trying to be healthier for my kids/grandkids/family”, easy reasons that should elicit a positive response.

So, did they happen to use any pronouns for you during your conversation? It would be a shame if you were actually owlfluidkin or whatever and they guessed wrong that day. I bet there's a civil rights lawyer somewhere praying for your call right this very second!

One of my cats is gonna lose a leg. We took him to the vet because we felt a small bump on his leg. They did a biopsy and said it was “Injection Site Sarcoma”. Very rare but it does happen when a cat’s immune system reacts poorly to either the vaccine or the needle, not sure which or even which vaccine. He’s had a few, all from the same company.

The tumor cannot be removed, we’re told, because of its shape and if they attempt it, they are certain the cancer will return aggressively. The ‘cure’ is to remove his left rear leg and that is almost 100% successful so that’s what’s happening the first week of January.

The vets and oncologists all say we are lucky. Had he received vaccines in his shoulder or scruff the diagnosis would have been a death sentence. I don’t feel lucky. It’s breaking my heart. He’ll adapt quickly I’m told but it doesn’t cheer me up any. The only good, is that the vaccine manufacturer feels bad about it, too, and is footing the bill.
