BLT sounds pretty good. Now where can I get a BLT that's close to here?

The problem with a BLT is the L and the T.

Considering his ability to have direct discourse with the lord almighty it might not be the stretch you imagine.

Breakfast

Sausage McMuffin with egg, traded out the sausage for bacon
Bacon Mc Griddle

Lunch, about to bite into a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger x 2

For dinner, I may just pull the trifecta and have a pound of bacon and a beer to wash it down.

Dude, you must weigh about 400lb if that is a usual day of food.

I always eat a big breakfast.  Seems I'm WAY less hungry throughout the day whenever I do it.  And that's all I had too.  No fries, I'm really particular about 'em, and unless I'm starving, I'll pass on 'em usually.  That's 2 Jr bacon cheeseburgers (Wendy's).  Water.  Lunch. 

Did you eat less than ME for lunch? 

I do landscaping in the summer too.  It helps to keep me below 400, otherwise you'd be correct.  As it is, I lose a bunch in summer and gain it back in winter.  I'm like a bear in reverse.

Today, I ate a big lunch, but I have football practice today.  Normally my lunch is something like a cheeseburger and a fruit smoothie, or some orange chicken and white rice with diet soda.

Though, with the way the ibuprofen has been wracking my stomach over the past couple of weeks, I've been eating less healthy stuff to try and make my stomach feel better.  There's a bit of irony in there someplace.

I just got a phone call from one of my users who said:

Julie:  "Jake, I was wondering if you could come fix my database (MS Access).  I totally messed it up.  I was trying to make changes to the backend.  When Stephanie (SQL expert, database manager) made changes to it on my old computer she would go into the Linked Table Manager but when I went to Options, Database Tools, Linked Table Manager on my new computer it said that the feature wasn't installed, so I just copied and pasted the table over the top of the other one.  Now all the relationships are gone."

shmokes:  "Why are you trying to make changes to the backend of the database?  Why didn't you contact Stephanie?"

Julie:  "Well, I thought I knew how to do it."


Does anyone know how to make bacon, and would anybody be interested in some human bacon?

Try a few spicy things to help get those juices flowing and eat up that tablet quick-like.

Nah, large amounts of ibuprofen are known to cause stomach problems in many people.  Not much I can do about it if I want to be on ibuprofen.

Be on tylenol for a while.  Make your kidneys take some of the pain.

On wednesday, I had a big setback with my back.  Thursday I was in so much pain I could barely breathe, nevermind roll over in bed.  Friday I went to the doctor, with much effort, and told him the ibuprofen is uncool.  He upped the ante to Vicodin.

Also, over the past few days, while in the most pain I have ever experienced, I ate some bacon.

I haven't actually taken any of the vicodin.  I got it too late to be of use when I really needed it, and I'm saving it for another day like that one.  I have a high pain tolerance, so when I get to the point that I'm asking for the vicodin, it's because the pain is bad enough that it is crippling me.  That's how bad it was thursday.  I was lying on the bed having trouble breathing.  It subsided a good amount friday, and again Saturday, and now it's down to a dull ache in several areas.

I agree that sever back pain is no picnic. I've had back problems for almost ten years (car wreck) off and on. When it gets bad enough that I need prescription meds I tend to hoard them for a really bad day too.

The MRI showed a small herniation between L4 and L5 on the left side, with two annular tears in the same spot.

Crappy.

I have what was described to me as a sever herniation. The doctors wanted to operate and fuse some bones in my back, there were a bunch of pins and screws involved prominantly in this plan. It also involved cutting me open from the front, pulling out all of the important gooshy bits inside me and then putting all of said gooshy bits back in after they were finished. This was proposed to me by a man who couldn't manage to keep track of his appointment book. I passed.

Well, I do admit that the plan sounded scary enough that I was not interested regardless of who did the operation. Mostly I'm just a coward. What else is new?

Seriously, my back doesn't bother me very often these days, although sometimes it does. The docs told me there was an outside chance that it would heal by itself over time. I guess I got lucky.

Actually my wife and I own mountain bikes that we take out fairly regularly in nice weather. Now I'm talking very tame city park trails, and not hard core off road stuff, but most of the time my back feels good enough that biking is not out of the question. We play tennis pretty often too, which I find to be harder on my back than biking, but most of the time it's not an issue.

Right.  At this point, I'm being told no more semipro football or other high contact sports.  Different level of restriction, though I may become a kicke to get back onto the field.  Once I recover the lost strength and balance in my torso, I should be fine.

WTF are you doing?  Do not combine the bacon and the cheesecake.  They are separate for a reason.  You don't mix fire and water, do you?
