Funnily enough, since I have used it so many times, but I have never been sure: Linux. Is the "i" like in city, or like in child?

I pronounce it like lie.  Leenux like Kleenex would sound bizarre.  Charlie Brown's friend is Lie-nus, not Lee-nus.

He's born!

Now.. pertinent info? Weight, height, hair color (if any), name, etc. :)
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Fucked up the quotes there. :P


PS. I take Adalimumab for mine.

I take Pentasa for mine. Keeps the more severe symptoms in check most of the time. I don't have it nearly as bad as most people with it, it seems. Every time I talk to someone else who has it, I feel guilty for bitching about my symptoms.

My bro's now on something called remicade (?) It's an injection thing he gives himself once or twice a month. It's the only thing that has seemed to work. He hasn't had a major outbreak in years.

That's what one of my friends takes for hers, with the same results. She's actually gained weight since she's been on it, which has her doctor doing cartwheels.

Humira, which Iorm mentioned, is also an injection. Though I believe that Humira is typically taken more frequently.

So I can't eat anything today because I have a colonoscopy tomorrow.  So naturally this was the night Tommy demanded we get pizza.  The smell is killing me.

My sawbones told me men don't need to start getting the anal probe until age 50.
Sometimes you have to think about what you want, not just what you need.

He cant always get what he wants.  Sometimes he just gets what he needs.

But city isn't pronounced "ceety".

I say "Linux" like "city".

Canada is rolling back some of its hate-speech laws, which means I'm more free to talk about my hate for things on the internet.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
