The last time my Pop drove (which I was epically against) he was on 2 or 3 kinds of pain meds - he had a huge bubble in the artery going to his heart (aneurism). I grabbed the wheel once or twice on the way to the hospital, really frightening. Hope his staph infection clears up, nature is certainly turning against us, and our slipshot methods of germ control.

Wow, I imagine that's certainly a story. I hope he turned out alright!
Yeah, you're right. I've heard more about staph infections than I did lice and pink eye in elementary. Considering my entire 2013 graduating class barring literally 6 kids had both at 2 or 3 occasions a piece, that's a lot -- and don't get me started on ebola, haha.
Nah, they replaced the artery with some synthetic tubing, which got infected, then they took his leg off to scavenge some real artery...
Really, that many cases of lice and pink eye? 1/3 of a senior class in one town over, in the early 90's, all had the clap :| They tracked it back to one bi sexual guy, and a few orgies :| Rich parents sometimes raise feral kids I guess
My response to this must not have gone through. Damn dodgy campus internet.
That's a crazy story, both of those. I guess it's true what mom told me: "Be careful who you have sex with. It's like doing everyone they've ever done." Do the math, and with one sexually irresponsible guy, you can end up with a case of that senior class in the nineties.
Been a while since we've chatted, perhaps due to my incompetent keeping up of times. How have you been?
I've completely fallen out of love with this site, but I'm sticking around because of people like you :)
After 14 years, I'd have hoped this place would've been a lot more fun, but a lot of what made this place cool got cut a long time ago, and has been getting worse - it's the structure, not the remaining members :\
Yeah, AIDS and HPV were really scary back then (still are), and when Ronnie Reagan pretty much ignored AIDS, us hetero folk got even more scared. Took a lot of brainwaves to be able to go bareback, even with the sponge at work lol
I definitely feel you. A lot has changed since I signed up in '06, and not all of it good. Most of the things that drew me to NG, like the funny voting buttons and level icons have been overhauled completely. I'll admit though, at least the audio portal has improved a bit. New genres to fit the times, etc.
I can imagine. There was virtually no education on it -- just abstinence. Condoms weren't even all that effective, and no one really knew who had the disease and who didn't because people didn't just go and get checkups or treatments.
It's the little things I miss that made this place great... now it feels like an old car: radio stolen, a/c broken, pulls to one side, and smells nasty :p
The problem with AIDS was testing for it, since it was a really small virus... takes time for money to do its thing, builds a better mousetrap or something. And scarier still was doctors not knowing the signs of the disease or anything... But wow, it's sure scarier now, and you don't even get sex out of it lol Measles from Mickey? Say it ain't so!
Yeah, it's certainly taken a few hits. The car you described reminds me of my dad's old Plymouth Reliant, after it got the ass end of it taken off by a truck. Dad almost died. Happened in my front yard essentially as he was driving to come pick me up from mom's house.
Today it's very underground, especially with people's medical records being confidential. That's what scares me. Never know who has a disease and who doesn't. I think if people can possibly transmit deadly diseases like that, others should know about it.

Hm, I almost died in a rip tide when I was about 9 or 10, barely made it back to shore... My father lost 3 of his sisters in Florida in 2 separate car accidents down there :\ I guess I don't need the details, but what almost ended you?

Wow, that's maddening -- the sisters bit -- and having nearly drowned a few times myself, I can imagine the riptide was terrifying. But what nearly killed me (and my roommate) was that mom's best friend had a staph infection in his leg and took pain medication, which we were unaware of until he started falling asleep at the wheel, at night, trying to take us to Walmart, Pensacola beach, and Hardees at the same time, and yelling at Mom in the front seat. Thankfully, before we went into the bike lane another 15 times or into oncoming traffic again, Mom took the wheel. After that, I had a hypoglycemic episode from not eating all day (we couldn't), and then we ate at Hardees and went home, and all was well... aside from Mom pulling evasion maneuvers before exits because her nerves were shot, lol. The next day we actually did hit the beach, and Mom drove, so that made up for it.
