Dream of Lavender, Mr. Filmore, and ornaments / Colon Explosion!

Got a weird phone call from Florida: 1-321-735-9691, anybody? I had a weird dream which involved my going to a house with light brown carpet. It turned out to be my friend Elizabeth's house, and it was around Christmastime. Turns out her dad was a bit abusive, but everyone just lay down on the floor surrounded by ornaments and the tree, and did their own thing. There were other people around who were reincarnated time travelers - a little boy named Nick used to be a schoolteacher named Mr. Filmore, and he recognized someone named Lavender from that previous life. She was now named Christina, and remembered stuff for sure. Around mid-September in dream time (so almost a year later), Angela V. said that we could all go into an IRC channel on our personal computers, so we did. The display was grey with black LCD text, and some channels were only available during a church's official opening hours... once the church was closed, so was the chatroom! I mentioned that I needed to do laundry even on my birthday, so I did. After that, the dream just ended. Weird... no idea why I had that one!

P.S. I WAS EPIC TODAY! :D :D :D


Poo nugget for Tuesday, October 27: Dr. Stool Says - Colon Explosion - In the early days of colonoscopy (before the widespread use of colon cleansing), several patients suffered internal burns when attempts to burn colonic polyps triggered an explosion. Polyps are usually removed by putting a noose (or snare) around the polyp base and burning through the tissue with electric cautery. It seems that feces and gas present in the colon sometimes became ignited when the electric current was applied. This theoretical risk is no longer an issue as patients purge their colon of fecal material with laxatives prior to undergoing the procedure.
