    You should be happy because we live in a time where it's treatable.

  • Treatable doesn't always mean curable.


    You ever hear how they used to treat syphilis and gonorrhea?  It wasn't pretty.

  • I think I would have just let VD take me if it meant urethra sounders that injected mercury.  That's as brutal as it gets.

    BTW, I know what you meant in your original response to me about it.  Those days prior to penicillin ... SHEESH!  Makes my stomach drop and lurch every time I think about it.

    I guess that's part of the creepy stuff you collect that we talked about a few days ago?  Very cool.  I wish I had a room I could use to put creepy & weird stuff on display.  

    One day you will find that shrunken head you've always wanted my friend.

    Did you pick up Hepatitis too?  I hope not.  Years ago I knew a guy that did.  Not good.  Better off getting a VD.

    I'm really very sorry to hear that.  My friend went through a very rough time with those treatments.  His was so advanced that the treatments were only a band aid.  He finally got a liver transplant literally just in time.
