Poor Emmett. Much ~ma to him.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm kind of wondering if he's got something like a hernia.

Poor baby. It kind of sounds like it, but it seems to me like they would have checked him for that manually when they tested his testicular reflex. Maybe a pinched nerve?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What's a way to say "socially liberal" without using the word "liberal"?
Compassionate? Humble? A believer in "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"?
Or you could just say "socially speaking, I'm Canadian".

That's the original theory. But I think it would've responded to the anti-inflammatories by now. But I don't really know.

Heh.
I ended up taking amych's advice and used Megan's terminology to rephrase the sentence. Hopefully that will be clear and religiously correct.

I have a pinched nerve in my neck. Sometimes anti-inflammatories help. Sometimes they don't.
It acted up within the past month (or so) and the anti-inflammatories weren't doing anything. I took an Ativan, because I remembered that when my mother had Shingles, the doctor told her to take Ativan, because it acts on the nerve endings. Long story short, I woke up a new woman. That's why I wondered if they could give him some mild sedative or something. That's got to be a traumatic pain for any guy, but particularly a young guy like Emmett.

Well, he was crying from school this morning, but last night he was mostly discomfited. He deals with pain pretty well. At least that's what I recall from him breaking his nose. He doesn't deal with anticipating pain though. I have a hard time even ripping an old band-aid off him.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Please keep me away from that David's Bridal seperates tool! I have already made a cute ensemble with a chiffon ruched top and a striped buttercream skirt with a big flower on the side of the top, a flirty pink and brown outfit and a kind of exotic green and purple thing.
STOP ME BEFORE I COORDINATE AGAIN!

Venture Brothers fans (and Emmett fans) will be glad to know that it is not testicular tortion.
They still think pinched nerve. No cup for a week.
Maybe I need to get Ativan for him. Is it over the counter?
