"Rock Your Baby" was interesting in that it was actually a proto-KC & The Sunshine band track, but KC couldn't hit the high notes he himself had written, so little-known nightclub singer George McRae, who did session backup vocals for the same label, was recruited in to sing it, and ended up with a #1 hit.

I thought by the time I typed this we'd be over 100 comments.
I missed the baby formula thread. But just chiming in as I currently have a little one on formula right now: there is no baby formula shortage in Europe. We order formula from Germany. Yes prices have gone up because of fuel costs, but no FDA and no shortages there. The reason we get formula that way is there is no soy or corn syrup in German formula. Even very expensive brands of US formula contain soy and usually some form of corn syrup. I might be a crazy health nut, but I'd rather not give my baby food additives that are in everything just because of farm subsidies. There's actually a whole market for this for American parents. You have to promise it's only for "personal use" to not get the FDA involved if you order in bulk. So yeah, the formula shortage is a US govt problem.

That's been called the very first disco song. (Full disclosure: I like disco. That rolling beat is attractive and fun to sing along with, and it gave rise to some exciting and "dangerous"-sounding songs like "Stayin' Alive" and "She Works Hard for the Money.")
Disco was the last time dance music had a live drummer and a live bass player. You can't beat that feel, no matter how many times you push the "random imperfections" button that modern DAWs have. Posted by: Ian S. at May 12, 2022 09:53 AM (ZGrMX) 121

There IS a code for that: ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N35.9 Urethral stricture, unspecified Posted by: Muldoon at May 12, 2022 09:43 AM (kXYt5) I had a kidney stone attack yesterday. The 2nd in my life. It wasn't great. The emergency room gave me some !!FLOOOOWMAX!! some antibiotics and some anti nausea. They were supposed to order me 1) CT scan and 2) a meeting with a urologist. The urologist called and said, " Hey, we can't do jack until we get a CT " I said, " Yeah, dude, I know". So I had to call the emergency room back and get them to schedule the scan. Meanwhile, I haven't passed the boulder yet, I don't think, and the only thing keeping me from being doubled over in pain is the !!FLOOOOWMAX!! and ibuprofen. It hasn't been a great few days.

The reason we get formula that way is there is no soy or corn syrup in German formula. Even very expensive brands of US formula contain soy and usually some form of corn syrup. I might be a crazy health nut, but I'd rather not give my baby food additives that are in everything just because of farm subsidies.

"Rock Your Baby" was interesting in that it was actually a proto-KC & The Sunshine band track, but KC couldn't hit the high notes he himself had written, so little-known nightclub singer George McRae, who did session backup vocals for the same label, was recruited in to sing it, and ended up with a #1 hit. . . .
Posted by: Guy Smiley at May 12, 2022 *** I did not know that. KC was already a charting artist in '74? The Wiki article says their first real hit was "Get Down Tonight" in '75. I remember "I'm Your Boogie Man" playing on AM radio the spring Mrs. Wolfus No. 1 bought her Ford Maverick (it only had an AM radio, so Top 40 was it) in '76.

Put that on some bumper stickers and slap them on Democrat cars...
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at May 12, 2022 *** Q: How can you tell it's a Democrat car? A: The "Biden-Harris" or "Obama-Biden" stickers, or ones that say "Somewhere in Texas a Village Is Missing Its Idiot" and "If You're Not Completely Appalled, You're Not Paying Attention" (remnants of the W. Bush days). Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at May 12, 2022 10:02 AM (txdEq) --- They aren't that hard to find.

== CT guides treatment. If the stone is too big to pass, they need to keep you and do a procedure. If not then you get discharged and wait for it to pass while you strain your pee and then get the stone analyzed. I assume you are not febrile? Get your CT as soon as possible.

But that ended when I started the meds. But I'm still getting cycles of spasming moderate pain.

Posted by: J.J.

I'd read one of his memoirs within the past year, and he was really a sharp, interesting man with an amazing life story. Anyway, I was so overwhelmed with sorrow after having briefly been taken back to such a more innocent, better, & hopeful time during the first 10 minutes of the film that I just broke down and couldn't continue. Even woke up the poor wifey down the hall in the bedroom, who heard me and thought there had been a death in the family.

But good Lord, the comments show what a cesspool part of America and most of Twitter is. Samuels, as I understand it, had the nerve to say things like if you're a guy who doesn't have a job, you should work on that before trying to get a woman. And girls, if you're a fat chick, Prince Charming ain't coming through that door. As Samuels was black, most of this was directed at the black community. So most of Twitter was celebrating his death.

This time is different something feels wrong.
== If you have doubts go to another ER. I am sure their discharge instructions say, if you aren't feeling better, feeling worse or get a fever return to ER. I don't recall the exact size, but at some point the stone is too big to pass and they have to do a procedure to get it out. Lithotripsy or something. If it stuck there a while you can get septic (bacteria in your blood) which can make you very sick and eventually kill you. If you get a high fever Not 99.8 but like 100.9 - go the ER. One that is attached to a hospital - not an freaking urgent care. Because you will get scanned and depending on that may need admission.

Their message not "Why can't we all live together?", but rather-

Posted by: Zombie Robbo the Llama Butcher at May 12, 2022 10:40 AM (906pl) I think the message of "Ghost Ship" is - Why can't we all get cut into bite-sized chunks by a runaway snapped cable, and then all live together as killer ghosts?

Stay alert for the next few days! DU is all atwitter about this short little speech by Rep Jeffries, and is trying to make it a "thing":
Hakeem Jeffries A simple question for Justice Clarence Thomas. Why are you such a hater? https://tinyurl.com/2p9b3nxe Yes...he calls Justice Thomas a hater, and his wife an insurrectionist. What does DU say? He s high on my Speaker shortlist Saying stuff as dumb as he did, he's probably high alright. Oh, he's black, so saying that probably makes me racist. Thank you, sir. Those of us who remember the Hill vs. Thomas hearings were shocked that he made it on the court. Ginny's actions add a whole new level of outrage. Lamenting the Thomas hearings not going far enough shouldn't be surprising. Dems have always backed lynching uppity black men. We need more Dems like him to bring the righteous fury! Should be a TV commercial. Posted by: Intrepid Democratic Underground AoS Liaison at May 12, 2022 10:46 AM (V7BOC) 353

Kidney stones are actually small dwarves, or homunculi, living in the kidneys. They do not like a potion of mugwort and foxglove, so drink this 8 times per day, under the open night sky, and they will leave in a fortnight.

"To Sir With Love" (1967) the ending
https://tinyurl.com/2ywtu7sd Posted by: m at May 12, 2022 *** I'm not sure I've ever seen the entire movie. The Reader's Digest Condensed Books ran the novel in one of its volumes in '65 or so, and I read it then. Lilies of the Field ran on my local PBS station some years ago, when they would present a classic movie on Saturday night without commercials. Really well done. William Barrett, the author of the novel, also wrote the novel that became the film The Left Hand of God w/ Humphrey Bogart. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at May 12, 2022 10:59 AM (txdEq) 391

At one point in the Aubrey/Maturin series, Jack Aubrey reflected on his first service-related wound. As a midshipman he'd been part of a press gang (forced recruitment), and a woman who disagreed with her man being drafted into the Navy laid him out with a flat iron.
