bandit king of lunch and string

Jeez, surgeon sounds like a grade-A douchecanoe. >:/ I’m so glad your back specialist is understanding and genuinely helpful, though!

 

[whispers]

Spoiler: explanation of thing

quotes usually either look like this

Code:

[QUOTE]text[/QUOTE]

or

Code:

[QUOTE="person quoted, post ID: number, member: number"]text[/QUOTE] 

you can fix it by replacing [xQUOTE="
with

Code:

[QUOTE="jumpingjacktrash"]

i REALLY hope that these display correctly

anyway, wow that's terrible >:( model spine sounds like a v good christmas gift tho

EDITED TO ADD: wow that broke HILARIOUSLY. i'll try again.
ETA2: FIXED IT! :D by adding x's to the broken quote tags.

 

it's [ quote=name] words words words [ / quote] without the spaces in the square brackets if you're doing it manually

ETA: automatic quote tags also work

also i accidentally wrote spare instead of square up there so it's fixed now

 

An odd question but. Why are you a bandit king and not a regular one?

 

I have no idea if this is what was intended but i had a gorgeously illustrated version of The Snow Queen as a kid and when Gerda meets the little Robber Girl, her father is introduced as the Bandit King. My mental image when I read the phrase is always of that illustration: short, stocky, holding a horse, furry hat.

 

Doctors who don't listen to you are the worse. :\ I had/have similar problems with a few of my doctors about my weight and illnesses which are allegedly solely because of same. (sleep apnea and asthma)

 

I am def banking on not seeing some people till after xmas myself.

 

i've even seen things that suggest that sleep apnea causes weight gain

 

Wait, I thought sleep apnea was only a thing to worry about if you sleep on your back and that sleeping on your stomach won't cause it. I don't know why I thought this, but it was a thing I sure believed.

 

all i know about sleep apnea is that there's two kinds, one of which is caused by like something being wrong with your nasal passages/sinuses, and the other being a thing where your brain just forgets to breathe sometimes when you're asleep. the first is the kind that develops later in life, the second is something you're born with/develop young. i know with the second kind, literally nothing other than a cpap helps because there's no physical problem, it's neurological, but the first can be impacted by weight.

if you've had it since you were a baby, i'm assuming you have the neurological based one, in which case... your weight... has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with it?

here is webmd, super sorry if you've already looked it over, but:

it lists obstructive and central sleep apnea. obstructive is where the soft tissue collapses, and where weight can impact things. but central is just. the brain doesn't work right. which like. if it doesn't work right, it just doesn't work right.

i was under the impression but may be mistaken that to be diagnosed with sleep apnea as a child, you almost exclusively are a case of central sleep apnea
