Technology and my Crack
I went for an x-ray yesterday, thinking I would have to carry the film from the radiologist to the doctor, who would then say, “Hmm,” and charge me R200 for the privilege.
I got the second part right.
The first part? Totally wrong. It’s all electronic now, and any doctor anywhere in the country can log into some fancy software and see my bits. And in case the doctor forgets his password, he gets given a CD, which displays the x-ray on any old pc.
I have mixed feelings. Brilliantly convenient, but disturbingly un-private. Big Brother is getting very close.

On a serious note. You had a cast on for a bit now and the break has not knitted? Was it worse before or have you been so active that it has not had a chance to heal young lady?
Dr Flutter
I was hoping no-one would pick up on that.
The cast has been on for two weeks, and I was expecting to see more progress. But I guess that's why it has to be on for 6 weeks, hey?
Your second question: I fear the latter may be closer to the truth. But I've been less active this week. Promise.
Patient Muffin
You remind me of my mom. Can't sit still for 2 minutes. If you carry on like this the same thing will happen to her. She wore her cast for an extra 6 weeks!!
Take it easy One-armed Muffin.
It's bad enough you have cooties you can't scratch.
Eep
Will definitely maybe be more stationary.
But off to ENT oke now - to see why I've been croaking for two months. If I ask nicely, maybe he'll scratch my cooties too.
Jeez Muffin
First the mind.
Then the crack .. I mean arm.
Then the cooties.
Now the croaking!
You like be falling apart at the seams lady.
Good luck with the humanoid tree guy (the ENT).
I hope he be barking up the wrong tree and nothing is vout.
Dusty - your crack is big.
Err...
Arbie
Was that meant to be a wisecrack?
Goodness no Dust
That would be a terrible cheek, now wouldn't it.
Butt the bottom line is - your crack does look rather large.
Flamin' arseholes Arb
You used up all the butt/crack puns in one comment.
yeah!
I'm greedy like that!
Damn it Arb
Nothing else to say here.
Except - hope the gap in your crack mend well Dust. And soon too.
Dusts
Makes a lot of sense to have a central database for this purpose, but yes, its frightening the sheer amount and detail of info that's out there about us if anyone had a mind to look!
Lily
Ever googled your own name? Or address, or cellphone number? That can also be scary.
Dusts
Yeah, I have. To my dismay, I find I have an extremely common name and I have heaps of namesakes all over the frigging world. Mind you, I can hide quite effectively in the crowd!
good god dusty!
i can even see your crack!
marijayn
I'm not sure how to respond to this. All depends on the position of your tongue.
!
my donner.
Dex, shame on you.
The position of her tongue in relation to her cheek.
Oy. Some children.
*rolls eyes*
Duthty
that smacks (can you hear the sound? smacks!) of a justification thought out while typing the comment.
Nice try. But we both know that you meant exactly what you said.
yes dear.
Smacks
of the sea.
Sounds
fishy
Smells fishy too
Forgot to wash again Kwatty?
oiy!
this ain't my crack we're talking about.
Mine sparkles.
I just knew it
You're one of those body glitter okes aren't you?
Making it all so inviting like. Eish.
And Dusty. You know what you said.
You want Marijayn to tongue your crack.
You know that licking of wounds thing only works with animals right?
Ja Flutts
The stuff strippers apply between their boobs. And let me tell you something - it makes the simple act of walking quite a fun, squishy experience.
As for you, Dusty - sies.
Hmm..Dex
Must make fun getting it all the way up there too!
Bugger, Dusty has left us behind. She's tired of being the butt of our jokes. No more crack up laughter from her. Bummer!
haha
That is just wrong on so many levels.
Maybe she went to a casting session or something...
*ahem* you two
I'm still here. Had to take some phone calls.
And Dex. Your puns crack me up. Side-splitting stuff. Really.
As for you Flutter: Your butt jokes are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Ja Dusty
in a slinging match, you'd clearly be the winner.
Only if
the other guy was plastered.
er dusty...
just er...!
*grin*
