Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

An enlarged vein (varicose vein) in the testicle is called a varicocele, which is a common condition that occurs when blood pools in the veins of the scrotum. Varicoceles are caused by malfunctioning valves in the veins, which allow blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. This can lead to the veins becoming swollen and dilated, forming a complex network of vessels that can feel like a bag of worms. (Mine is on the right side.)

At least you can find yours. When I got to the doctor's, mine ran away and hid.
Thank you for the info. It eases my mind.

Wow is that something that can be resolved in the gym? Bicycling is good for circulation.

I hate it when I take my car to the mechanic and the problem has disappeared or go to the doctor and the symptoms are gone.
 
In general, there is no cure for varicose veins, but they are treatable. A varicocele is a condition where the veins that drain blood from the testicles become enlarged and twisted, similar to varicose veins in the legs. The varicocele embolization procedure involves a radiologist inserting a catheter into a vein in your groin or neck. Using coils or chemicals, the problematic vein is blocked, rerouting blood flow to healthier vessels--not recommended for most men.
 

There's hornet/wasp that crawled up behind the screen and glass. I figured the freezing weather would have killed it. But it looks like it's hunkering down. This is the second one that did the same thing. According to Google, it's a queen going dormant till summer. It's got to go.
Still bummed out over the egg crisis. I have absolutely no idea why it bothers me so much.

Tomorrow, I go for my ultrasound of my guy parts. I hope the technician is named Big Olga, has one tooth and facial growths, with hair coming out. I don't want to seem like a dirty old man, but hell, I ain't dead yet.
 
Happened to catch the end of a "Leave It To Beaver". Why would you call a kid, "The Beave"? Anyway, I didn't realize how far off reality the show was. At dinner, mom is wearing her pearls and impeccably coifed, Dad is wearing, of course, a suit. The antique silver service is on the antique sideboard. And eating on a white lace tablecloth. Both the Beave and Wally ask permission to leave the table, and then fold their napkins. Yeah, that's pretty much how I remember my family at dinner.

I've been ultrasounded, and I survived. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I DID have a lump, at one time; but now, it's gone-no pain, nothing. You feel kind of dumb showing where the lump used to be.
Also, it's getting hard to get around. There's so much construction going on. We have a brand new road map, it's called "DETOUR". It's getting to be Halloween, and instead of gremlins and witches running around, we have flagmen with stop and go signs.
 
I'm not sure but I think Daryl, the skunk, may be squished on the side of the road. And, I know it's dumb, but it bothers me about the odd eggs in the package. Before, I took two eggs out of the box, and 6 days later, the box was empty. Now, there's an egg left!!!!!!!
I used to love having everyday be unique. That's why I liked being a psych nurse- I never knew what to expect. Now, I'm a fuddy duddy whining over eggs.

No, you're not, fuzzy. I think you are magnificent, a really brave trooper! The eggs should have behaved themselves as eggs should behave!

I love cartoons. I could watch the same "Roadrunner" cartoons all day long. One of my favorites is "Futurama". Bender is my god!!! There's a lot of 'throw away' jokes in the cartoon- just tidbits, if you notice them.
one cracked me up. It was sign for a product- "Bachelor Chow" :ROFLMAO:

The cartoon line I best remember is describing an alien creature:
"Furry with a Syringe on Top" (a play on the song title: "Surrey with a Fringe on Top").

One of the things I like to do is drive around at night. I like seeing the lights on in houses. The light is a yellow glow, and it identifies that this is a human nest- a home- a nice warm bed- other "nestlings".
Somehow, the lights comfort me.

I know what you mean. I think like that when I happen to drive by a house with lights in the windows!
 
I don't usually notice birds flying around. But I keep getting days when my lawn is packed with little birds- all colors. I counted them, and there were 17 on the front lawn and a bunch more in the back yard. They don't seem like they're eating anything. like on the other days. They fly down and land, and if another bird tries to land near them, they chase and scare him away???????
I think I may know the reason, the birds aren't around on certain days, there's a huge hawk that glides around at times.

They're taking a rest period on their migration south??
 
My lawn seems to be a buffet. The other day it was birds. Today, it's deer. Got up, and there was a bunch of deer munching on my lawn. It's freezing outside 32F (0C), and the deer don't seem to mind. I guess there's not much they could do, if the cold bothered them. It's at times like this, it's apparent how pampered we are.
 
I have a TV stand/thing that's dated and made of particle board. Evey once in a while I think of getting a nice new one. There's one I like, but it costs $899. So, the miser in me says "no way". I keep getting ads from the furniture store. They will give me 10% off, so the new one will only be $899. That's a lot better than the other ad, then they would only give me $50 off, so the new one would be only $899.
