And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Ever Have A Kidney Stone?

If only having a kidney stone were as fun as the picture below depicts it to be. Granted the picture provided by www.hiddendingbat.co.uk is to help kids understand the concept behind having a kidney stone or stones.  I've never had one, and hope I never will.

I've had friends and family describe it as the most painful thing you can experience as a man.  Women have even said, the pain is far worse than having baby - they would know.

Yes and they are horrible! Do you have one?

No, never have, but I've heard women say the pain is worse than the pain they go through when birthing a child.

All I know is that I was totally down for the count and I have an extremely high pain tolerance. I left work in an ambulance because I couldn't walk it hurt so bad.

Damn, that sounds horrible! Glad both of you got through it. I was reading on this, because fear of getting stones. I read that it comes back or that it runs in the family, has the doctor suggested anything for you guys, to help prevent it?

You know that's Dad's problem Peteroo. He doesn't drink water and he puts salt on EVERYTHING !!!! LoL !! He collects his kidney stones. I know I need to cut back on salt but that's what i'm craving lately. So Bad !!! With Lemons too. And pickles. and Koolaid and those sour patch candies. Meh !!

Unknown said...

oh yeah, but I don't remember him ever going to the hospital, so I didn't think it was as bad. I eat too much salt too. I drink lots of tea, i can't stand water.

That's cause Pops is a big ol stud! Every 6 months you can also drink a glass of straight lemon juice every hour for 24 hours and that will dissolve anything in your kidneys.
