Vic - Be prepared for an uncomfortable few hours after the "camera stuffing up you waste pipe" - I can assure you it is far from the most pleasant experience, and may involve a general anesthetic if he decides to go beyond the bladder :-( It sounds as if you have a number of issues, not only with your kidneys but also potentially with your urinary tract and bladder. I really hope they get to the root of your problems. re:- Your previous note about the chest scan - I guess they were looking to see how much distortion and displacement of your lungs and heart has resulted from your stomach penetrating your diaphragm. The outcome of this scan could well affect how they go about sorting out your other problems. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Kidney cysts treatment requires a needle to drain them, and then fill them with some alcohol, to make them harden and scar over, they can make fevers, and , pain, not to mention bleeding in the urine, at least from what WebMD says.

I am not often aware of my dreams, but I have been the last three nights/mornings. Strangely, Monday morning I was dreaming partially about my mother riding in my car with me, and Tuesday morning about my father riding in my car. They were not both the same dream, they just had that comment element. Strangely, my mother was in my current car, which she could not have gotten into even if I'd owned it while she was alive. My father was in a previous car, or possibly one I never owned. Today my dreams were less vivid and I don't remember them.

What is causing the ice in my plastic ice cube trays to be stuck? It's maddening. I twist and twist, and only a few pop out. I'm about ready to rub butter on them! The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Something like Pam would be better, since ice cubes go into drinks... I doubt silicone spray is meant to go inside a human being Mark... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Mostly fish oil after all. No, really all they need is cleaning with warm water and a little vinegar. Over time, plastic trays build up minerals naturally found in water, such as calcium, which collect in the nooks and crannies of trays. The deposits cling to water molecules in the ice cubes and cause them to shatter rather than come out cleanly. Vinegar will remove any hard water build up. Just a little and warm water is all you need. |

LOL, I'm not spraying WD40 on my ice cube trays, that's for sure. Thank you for the tip about vinegar, though. I never wash the trays. I just fill them up everyday. We do have rather hard water here.

Hi Carlos, According to the Wiki entry I read, I don't think I'd like to ingest the cocktail that it describes, especially as the manufacturers reccommend the wearing of nitrile gloves for extended use, due to the problems with petroleum products on the skin... :-O Happy Crunching, Graham |

I was kidding about the WD-40. The vinegar and water on the other hand will work. |

For a few minutes I had two almost identical FB friends, he/she tried to reel Me in about USAID(.gov), and that to get help from them I'd only have to PAY UPS some amount to get it, well I knew about USAID(.gov), it's a part of government, government doesn't charge money to get legally entitled benefits, and they don't as far as I've ever known deliver via UPS, and that I already get SSI, USAID I think is for foreign aid(though if I'm wrong, I'm ok with that too), once I mentioned that 'government doesn't charge', the fake friend vanished, so if you get a new friend, and then it looks like someone you already know in a pm, do a friend search... The new friend could be a scammer... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

sinp... so if you get a new (Facebook) friend, and then it looks like someone you already know in a pm, do a friend search... This is an old con trick that is still widely used. Most people are not that "computer savvy" and go for the click-bait. Scammers clone Facebook accounts to con your friends Scammers are cloning Facebook profiles in an attempt to con your friends. |
