Had the in-laws’ party yesterday. It started at 2pm. We finished cleanup and left the venue around 5:00. They never heard anything from my brother-in-law until 7:30 last night when he texted he was on his way over. Never heard anything else from him. We DID get to hear “where’s Ethan?” From every single person in attendance, however. The worst thing is how his parents just accept his behavior and make excuses for him. At least they’ve finally learned not to wait on him to start anything. We used to just sit around waiting for him at gatherings. So maddeningly frustrating.

Ethan is dead. Pass the potato salad.

[wease]

That’s my position for sure.

Sounds like a perfect candidate to interview for one of the positions at your clinic

Back to work after the long weekend in Minnesota.

Sustained a bloody nose last night and again this morning on the way to the office.

I've dealt with these my entire life. It runs in the family. Super annoying. 45 minutes to recover/get the bleeding to stop, but recover I did.

Dang! I get bloody noses sometimes but they never take that long to clog back up again. What method do you use to stop the bleeding? When I was a kid they used to make me tilt my head back and I swallowed a shit load of blood. I later learned it's best not to swallow a shit load of blood and to keep your head up right, but then it seems it takes longer to clog. Also, it probably helps to stop fingering your nose, Coach. You're not gonna find gold in there!

Sometimes they are caused by cold, dry air, so I'm wondering if all the air conditioning (and plane ride) triggered this latest round.

It's odd, if I tilt my head down at a certain angle that can trigger one too.

My dad gets them like this, as does, my little kiddo.

They tested my blood and it's definitely the type of blood that doesn't tend to clot all that well, too, so there's that.

Finally, it's said that stress and anxiety can make the bleeds worse and I have general anxiety disorder so that's probably plays a part, too.

To make them stop, I shove a paper towel (I bleed right through tissue like a faucet) up my nose and keep my head level.

I typically need to go through half a paper towel roll to get it to stop but it usually does within 30-45 min.

Good times, indeed.

[Coach]

I probably get about six really bad ones a year and a handful of minor ones.

What paper towel brand do you use? You should be their Jared, like in Subway's Jared. But not the criminal part.

Bounty Essentials are great. They are pretty strong and I like the look and feel of them.

Whether I am just wiping the kitchen table down after dinner, or, absorbing an unhealthy amount of my blood pouring from my face, I really enjoy the product.

You've convinced me. I'll give them a try next time wife makes me pick some up at the store on the way home from work. If they're good enough for your blood-faucet nose, they're surely good enough for me.

Excellent, I love paper towels!

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

[Coach]

Coach I had that problem as a teenager. They cauterized a vein and the problem went away.

Yep, I've talked to my doc about it before. I'll go months without any trouble, so the motivation to do it wanes. Probably will bring it up again at my next doc appt.

10 a.m. on the first tuesday of the month is test time for the emergency response system (read: loud sirens going off outside). i've heard it a thousand times, yet it's still unnerving.
