Dialysis Schmalysis!

Ok, I'm a bit behind on things, but I meant to enter the fray about the Natalie Cole's appearance on Larry King and how it resulted in her getting numerous offers of kidneys for transplantation. Well, being brilliant-- as you all know, hehehe-- I thought I would help the rest of us non-celebrities draw attention to ourselves so that people could shower us with their un-wanted kidneys-- the "I'm famous-- give me a kidney!" blog.

The way this works is you come to the blog, post why you're famous and then people will read it and offer you their organs. It's as simple as that!    :sarcasm;   

I have gotten the ball rolling by posting why I'm famous:

Baton-twirling prodigy!

Now, you should all go to the blog and post so that you'll be in the running. Pretty soon, IHATEDIALYSIS will be a ghost town-- except for those who adamantly protest that they do NOT want a transplant. Curmudgeons!

 :rofl; Now we need some controversy about you. Like the monkey made your pilgrim outfit. Or how about you rip off mattress tags. You don't recycle! You had your toenails surgically enhanced. I'm calling The National Enquirer right now.  :2thumbsup;

I am not a curmudgeon, I am stuck on dialysis. They will not give me a transplant! Don't leave me here all by myself when you all are famous and get kidneys!

I am still here. You're stuck with me!
And unless some miraculous discovery is found, there will more dialysis patients every year.

What is Zach  doing up so early?  Or are you still up from last night?  Did you have your last  :beer1; yet?

I say forget the statistics and live as long as you want to... Be and inspiration to the rest of us.  I'm  still looking for good things about going to dialysis.  (It is cool there)  Kit, all your traveling is an inspiration to me.  Can't wait to get this cath out so I can  go somewhere.

I'm not going to shave today.  If I don't take a shower either that'll teach the tech who stuck me four times and made me bleed!!!  Of course, I couldn't stand myself either so that won't work.  But I do enjoy aggravating people who hurt me!

Come to think of it, nothing is funny anymore.

Nothing that I post here is intended for fact but rather for exploration into my personal thought processes.  Any slight, use of words with multiple connotations or other percieved insults are totally unintended.  I reserve my insults for private.
