It's good to talk to a doctor about this kind of thing, especially as you get older. It's usually nothing, but it might be a vitamin deficiency or something. A good family practitioner will know what questions to ask you.
Yo, Nehla deserves an Incomplete at least... Its tough to work when you got a medical procedure the next day, let alone surgery.
I once went to a cousin's house in the midwest, and we went to find something in the basement. Fam, it was like the last scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark: stacks and stacks of Stuff as far as the eye could see... To their credit, it was all in bins and shelves with aisle space and fairly well organized...
That is freakin awesome.
I think Jon was being presented as a lovable but clueless dork. Though his harassment (and forced kissing) of the vet has aged poorly.

I subscribe to non-news, non-politics, and non-tech communities only. My front page is great and I can browse "new" and "subscribed" for several hours a day. If I do run out, only then do I look at "all".

If you're asking about your cognitive state, it's like a process or event that ends. Like if you roll a ball down a hill and the ball stops bc it's at the bottom of the hill. The ball's still there but the process of the ball rolling is over.
what scares me is if my agony would be slow and painful.
To some people it's helpful if they read up on things like palliative care and hospice care. To other people it makes things worse to think about it, but personally I found it comforting to know that there are options and procedures to handle that.

The Wannsee Conference (1984 720p) - Nazi bureaucracy
...a 1984 West German - Austrian TV film portraying the events of the Wannsee Conference, held in Berlin in January 1942. The script is derived from the minutes of the meeting.[1] Since no verbatim transcription of the meeting exists, the dialogue is necessarily fictionalised. The main theme of the film is the bureaucratic nature of the genocide. ... Die Wannseekonferenz opens with the arrival of a group of high-ranking Nazi officials at a luxurious villa on the shores of Lake Wannsee.[3] ... the conference is convened ostensibly to discuss administrative matters related to the Jewish population under Nazi control. However, it soon becomes apparent that the true purpose of the meeting is to coordinate the systematic extermination of European Jews. ... The attendees engage in chillingly pragmatic discussions about the most efficient methods of mass murder, referring to Jews in dehumanizing terms.

The Sack of Rome, then part of the Papal States, followed the capture of Rome on 6 May 1527 by the mutinous troops of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, during the War of the League of Cognac. Charles V only intended to threaten military action to make Pope Clement VII come to his terms. However, most of the Imperial army (14,000 Germans, including Lutherans, 6,000 Spaniards and some Italians) were largely unpaid. Despite being ordered not to storm the city, they broke into the scarcely defended city and began looting, killing, and holding citizens for ransom without any restraint.[3] Clement VII took refuge in Castel Sant'Angelo after the Swiss Guard were annihilated in a delaying rear guard action; he remained there until a ransom was paid to the pillagers.
Benvenuto Cellini, eyewitness to the events, described the sack in his works. It was not until February 1528 that the spread of a plague and the approach of the League forces under Odet de Foix forced the army to withdraw towar

Bloodfist (1989 360p) - martial arts b-movie
Bloodfist is a 1989 American martial arts film directed by Terence H. Winkless, starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson (in his first feature starring role), Rob Kaman, Billy Blanks and Cris Aguilar. The plot sees an American former kickboxer travel to Manila, where he re-enters competition to avenge the murder of his brother and fellow fighter.[5]
The film takes the template established by previous tournament fighting films, especially the recent Bloodsport, and adds a whodunnit element to it.[6] While negatively received, it generated record profits for Concorde Pictures,[7] and kickstarted a long running franchise of increasingly unrelated sequels and spinoffs.[8] To bolster its credibility, Bloodfist listed the real-life martial arts credentials of its stars, not only on the poster but in the credits as well...
