Craptactular...shit, fuck, piss and everything nice

So long as we're all trotting out medical problems... I just learned my son probably has ankylosing spondylitis, a nasty inflammatory/auto-immune disease. At best it is a PITA and in cases can be fatal, with the full range of suckitude in between. He flunked the genetic test (has the gene), and the fact that he developed symptoms so young is a baaaaad... more »
