Here's some ammo for you for your "love" of union leaders. I was reading one of the railroad union facebook pages last night and they were complaining about the union President and how he settled for a deal.

The Union President makes $237,514 a year; out of union dues. In the union bylaws, it states that the President gets the same raise he negotiates for the union members, but I believe gets the full amount the first year on. So in this case, he would get the full 24% raise which was something like $57,000 which they complained about. Then the union President doesn't work anywhere near union HQ, so anytime he needs to go there his airfare, hotel, etc. are paid for by union dues just like his trips to Washington D.C. or the Democratic National Convention. And they made sure to mention he's probably staying in a lot nicer hotels that what the railroads put them in.

Sounds like a nice cushy job.

And yet she complains about me being gone.

I shut her done pretty quick today. She messaged me and said she doesn't think I should go on anymore trips until I take her back to the Bahamas like we were supposed to for our 10th wedding anniversary. I told her that doesn't work because we can never go to the Bahamas because we have no one to watch our Son.

she only does that to make you think she is upset

the real reason she is upset is because each time you go...you come back

Had another treatment Wednesday. Fever got to 102.6 Wednesday night, Still think I have some king of infection as I have urinated more than 100 times in the last 48 hours. And I'm a Red Sox fan. Double whammy.

And Aaron Judge is your MVP. Can't give it to someone 30 games out of 1st place,

God Bless

Here is what treatment days entail for me.
2 prescription pills when I wake up (I have a slight reaction to the immunotherapy.
2 hours before treatment another 2 of the allergy pills.
Nothing to drink after those pills.

Treatment- Piss in a cup to be tested to make sure no infections so I can have treatment.

Treatment- Nurse comes in dressed in basically a hazmat suit.
Disinfects my junk, squeezes numbing gel into the tip.
Waits about 2 minutes and installs the catheter and draws out any urine in the bladder.
Then injects 50ml of BCG which is basically live TB virus,

I have to hold the BCG in my bladder for 2 hours if I can. Only once I have't been able to.

Hospital is 70 miles from my house so usually I make it home in less than 2 hours. If I don't then I stop and piss into a plastic urinal.

Now the "fun" starts. Once I piss for the 1st time my bladder starts to spasm.
So basically I feel like I have to piss non stop for the next 12 to 15 hours.

I also need to drink at least a gallon of liquid to get everything out of my system.

For the 1st 6 hours after the 1st pee after I go I have to add 1 to 2 cups of bleach into the bowl. Close the lid and wait 15 minutes. Then flush.
Then clean the seat and lid with bleach.

We have 1 bathroom so I have to be extra careful to make sure everything is sanitized so my wife doesn't get in contact with with anything nasty (Softball for Glen)

So since 5:15 today I have urinated 20 times. I will piss another 20 times before I can even think about sleep

I have a fever of 101. If it hits 103 I head to ER.

By the time I fall asleep it will be 4-5AM.

I do this for 3 weeks in a row every 3 months.

And it's much better than the alternative.

Well my son and I went to the GameStop and the Chinese buffet. I overstuffed myself but managed to make it home before I got sick and had a Vomshitting experience happen. I guess it made me sick because I haven’t had it in so long.

I didn’t get what I normally get at the buffet I usually get general Tao’s chicken some sushi with wasabi and a couple of egg rolls. I got a shrimp and crab mixture fried dumplings and sushi just goes to show stick with the old favorites.

Used to happen to my daughter all the time when she was younger.

Hope you feel better brother!

My rule of thumb with Covid Buffet is Appetizers and rice only. Things they swap out most often

Have some sugar free gummy bears. You’ll be cleared out in no time.

There's never a wrong time to revisit the greatest product review Amazon has ever had, has, or will have.

Why would I spring for that when a Best Western has beds?

Excellent read. I was enjoying the political thread masquerading as a Brett Favre overrated thread but seems to be losing steam.

Yeah but you are building up immunity to future germs you encounter.
Before long you will be raw dogging Golden Corral without any gastrointestinal issues.
