Torture

Yesterday's free lunch: pasta in assorted sauces, with bread and butter.
Today: someone brought in Krispy Kremes and left them by the microwave.

I don't for one minute think other people should have to change what they're doing for my comfort, but my God, I never knew how AWFUL this sort of thing could be. I am getting a major education here.

edit: AND there's an Enforced Fun at the office tomorrow! Guess what we're having! Pizza and ice cream! I think I feel an attack of bubonic plague coming on. *eyeroll*

when i was a kid, i had severe tonsil infections, and couldn't eat icecream. my sympathy is therefore everything it should be!

Ow!

Do you still have your tonsils? I'm just curious, as the subject came up the other night. I was trying to explain what a tonsillith was, and it's kind of hard to explain to someone who doesn't have any memory of having tonsils. :-)

nope, got taken out when i was 5, to everyone's great relief. (srsly, by that time, they spent more time infected than not)

*nodding* That seems to be how it goes, for folks who have 'em out. I think rfrench was much the same.

all i miss out on now is tonsil hockey (:

I hear it's just as fun with virtual goalposts. :-)

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

true, as long as you score :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

That is, truly, what is important! ;-)

A la the old SportsCenter comment during baseball coverage: "That's been ruled a hit for those of you scoring at home...or even if you're alone."

beautiful :) kudos to the commentator

I still have mine. And I've never heard of tonsillith before. Yucko.

Pretty disgusting, isn't it? :-)

Someone trying to explain this to me recently made a typo and called them "tonsilsloths". So now I call them "tonsil sloths" all the time. (And, yes, this is relevant since I am getting them every 1-2 weeks at this point. Saw doctor about this friday. Hopefully tests he did say this is something curable with antibiotics).

Huh. I had a period of time when I was getting them every week or so, too. I have no idea what I did differently -- got Lyme, maybe? -- but except for the one I had the other day, tiny and easily dislodged, I haven't had one in easily ten years.
