I have been trying to build up the courage to get mine done. I looked it up on the net thinking that might help and clicked on a vid, that was not the thing to do. Can you feel anything down there when they do it? Im sure its like going to the dentist sucks going in but walking out saying that wasnt so bad. Im I right?

I had mine done about 18 years ago. Took the guy about 10 minutes. Bought a bag of frozen peas for the ride home, took a couple of days off and was good to go after that (had an office job at the time). I didn't have any pain, no problems. The doc was a 'specialist' in that, that's all he did. He only worked weekends and used/rented office space from another doc. His wife did his office work.

There is a doc around here who advertises 6 minutes, no scapels, no needles, no metal clips. www.pollockclinics.com

One of the smartest things I ever did.

No kidding, and he was probably videoed and they have his junk on display at several schools, Eddie you could be famous and didn't even know it. Royalties? I had a intern chick do one side and the doc do the other. Hindsight, that was not cool, during the moment, I was so high on the Valium they gave me, I didn't care who watched. Do remember the burnt flesh smell when they cauterized me and the smoke. At the time, it was pretty cool looking.
BTW Eddie, its Pepsi, not iced tea. But yes, I must resist my crack in a can. 12 pack a day, maybe a little much.

Considering pepsi/coke can be used as a rust remover, I'd hate to see what it's doing to the lining of your stomach.

So, while all you faggots are having fun thinking about each other's nutz I've been trying to come up with a Christmas gift for the wifey. I know she has an event coming up that requires some new stockings and undergarments and stuff so I was thinking about a gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. Will that come off as too much of a gift for myself or will I be heralded as the loving husband who saw a need and filled it?

The Victoria's Secret idea isn't so bad, its the gift certificate that's the problem. IMHO, you would be better to go in and buy some 'items' and give them to her, knowing that you will have chosen the wrong things and have to return them. If you are going to do the gift certif, then use it as the #2 item.

But she likes hockey games...

A week at a cheap Mexican all inclusive resort would be score you so many more points.

The op isn't the issue. Most have issues with the pain after. Me? No pain whatsoever. I was Christmas shopping 3 hours later and then laying sod the next day. But don't jog or run anywhere!!! NO NO NO!!!

Hey Blakes, would it be too much and out of line to ask what event is coming up that your wife "needs" new stockings and undergarments?

BTW, Back to tree work, I removed a decent sized cherry, it was frozen, like stabbing spikes into concrete. Once I was down to bigger meat it was ok, but up on the 8" spars. Not so much. Thing was over a fence of course, so I had a fun day of getting blasted in the face with high winds snow, snow caking up on the back side and freezing my but off. Freakin weathermen, supposed to be sunny and 37......butface.

Formal event. Needs a strapless bra and black stockings for her little black dress.

This morning was finishing a job and chipping what we cut yesterday. Wanted to get that done before the blizzard tonight. This afternoon was two small emergency jobs. One cracked balsam leaning into another tree and across the street a small balsam was on the roof. The afternoon jobs took about two hours. Just down, branched, bucked up, and goodbye. Sweet!

And if I may vent, and not to sound mean about elderly people, but why do they insist on standing in the work danger zone? Yesterday and this morning we had a lady, about 70 or so, and getting her to stay more than 30' away from us was an ongoing battle. I ran the chipper for two-hours this morning - I wear earplugs and helmet muffs - and she just stood 30' away, in the snow, for the whole two-hours and watched. And the chipper is still plenty loud at that distance. Maybe they're lonely and just like the action, I don't know. But on the whole we have far more problems with elderly people getting in our way than anyone else. Maybe four or five jobs at least we're had to stop working, and tell them straight off - go away or we're leaving. Vent ended. Apologies.

I only planned on one job before Thanksgiving so yesterday I took 4 trees apart and today I took the bobcat back and dragged the brush out by the driveway. Planned on chipping tomorrow. It's a shared driveway and I kept my truck and trailer on the homeowner's half. The homeowner warned me that the guy next door would want to come out and talk and he came out yesterday and we had a rambling disconnected conversation. Parked in the same spot today and he went kind of nuts on me about blocking the drive. I know he's had a stroke so I just sucked it up and didn't say much but it didn't end well. I've seen crazy before and this guy looks crazy. He's a retired cop so I know there are guns around. Can't imagine that a few hours of Morbark music is going to improve things tomorrow. Some fun.
