Random Rants ΠΓ': Parental guidance required

[Kyriakos]

From the stupid https://www.in.gr/2019/12/13/plus/eteoklis-poios-itan-pou-edose-onoma-tou-sti-nea-kakokairia/

"
Στην ελληνική μυθολογία ο Ετεοκλής ήταν γιος του Οιδίποδα και της Ιοκάστης, πατέρας του Λαοδάμαντα.

Όταν ο Οιδίποδας παραιτήθηκε από το θρόνο της Θήβας, παρέδωσε την πόλη στους δυο γιους του, Ετεοκλή και Πολυνείκη, που συμφώνησαν να παίρνουν το βασίλειο εναλλάξ κάθε χρόνο.

Μετά τον πρώτο χρόνο, ο Ετεοκλής αρνήθηκε να παραδώσει το θρόνο και ο Πολυνείκης επιτέθηκε στην πόλη των Θηβών με τους συμμάχους του (Επτά επί Θήβας).

Και τα δυο αδέρφια, όπως αναφέρει η wikipedia, σκοτώθηκαν στη μάχη.

It is an article explaining to illiterate plebs who Eteokles was, given the latest wave of bad weather here was (for some reason) named after him. And ok, it would be fine to have an article presenting that Eteokles was one of the two sons of Oedipous who fought for the throne of Thebes and both died (due to the family curse and other stuff). But it is not ok that the stupid writer of the article concludes with "both brothers, AS MENTIONED IN WIKIPEDIA, died in battle". Trying to cover your base? Why not just read a book It is the story of (eg) the play "Seven at Thebes". Aeschylos wrote one such play, not sure if others did too.
Furthermore, they didn't just both die in battle, but died fighting each other in front of one of the seven gates. Later the state of Thebes (under Kreon) refused to bury the body of Polyneikes, which is the foundation of the plot in the play Antigone.

My back is starting to feel very sensitive from where my doctor cut off my growth.

Fortunately I'm living with an ER nurse. He says it looks fine, but he's really surprised my doctor just cut it out right there in an ordinary exam room, lol.

Speaking of Mr KB, he made fun of me again this morning (for not wearing socks) He says I look really silly coming in from outside after taking my boots off, wearing a big parka coat, hood/scarf wrapped around my head, mittens, then a flowy [calf length] skirt with bare legs and feet.

My cough is pretty bad, but luckily my doctor gave me medicine for it with codeine and I'm sleeping well

I just realized next week I booked my allergy appointment at the same time as my massage, dangit!

"oh! it's located just under your bra? ... Hum don't worry I'll take care of this now..."

Surprisingly it was, he had to lift my bra strap up to get at it. I'm pretty sure he's gay though.

Oh and it bled over my bra strap yesterday, it's probably ruined.

Today I've ingested large amounts of pickled herrings, beets, onions, gummybears, liquorice and coffee. My digestion has every right to protest. I'm not even going to complain. Let the storm wash over me and my stupidity and cleanse me. See you on the other side.

Party in Snerk's stomach!

 

[Snerk]

I might even throw back a shot of liqueur just to see far I can take this mess.

 

[The_J]

Do liquorice liquer, to make the abomination perfect ^^.


Motherf .
I thought the end of this party was set, but her logistics got in the way . Wish I'd have that figured out before 2 AM *picard*.

Ibuprofen is your friend.

Ibuprofen is your friend.

Ibuprofen is the friend who comes over to help you rearrange your furniture, the friend who owns a truck and brings a crew with them when you are moving across town is CBD oil.

Asteroid hunting (Hubble Asteroid Hunter project on Zooniverse platform) starts to become addiction! (this week almost 10 hrs spent and near 900 images checked and now I see trails everywhere I look ) And I love it!
(Rant because I already had small moment of "is it over? at some five/six hundred mark; all images done? (as I see "you have seen this" for multiple images?) Nope, was just tiny glitch and could resume searching few hrs later. Felt so happy again )

I've tried CBD oil as a pain reliever and unfortunately it's had no effect on me.

Hmmmm...various possibilities...junk oil, wrong kind of pain, under dosed. There are some unscrupulous sorts in the world selling oils that are more snake than CBD. Anecdotally it is not very useful for acute pain. I've known people who "wanted to try it" and then tried to sneak up on it like they were accustomed to taking a low dosage aspirin and having it eliminate a migraine instantaneously. Any of those three a possibility in the Snerk world?

Percocet is the friend who gets revenge on your ex-boyfriend for you.
