What's a little sin to see us through?

Bio oil. It;s f*cking expensive but you only need to use a tiny, tiny amount of it cos it's extremely powerful. That should do the trick
Is there any cream or lotion or something that might be able to hide one of my scars?
i feel sort of all right about most of them. But i feel very embarrassed and self-conscious about one of them.

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!
When I was in Newquay earlier this month I choked on a steak at the Wetherspoons, then went off to hospital for the most awesome operation of my life.
They sprayed me with a "throat spray" to numb my throat but I could still feel the tubes sliding down my gullet and eventually, after a lot of pushing and shoving, into my stomach. It took longer than an hour and I pretty much spent that entire time alternating between retching and burping
But it was okay, a lovely machine sucked up all that excess saliva and at one point (the final push) there were four doctors holding me down 
Anyway, just got this in the post:
"Dear Mr Yearley
I now have the results of the biopsies taken at your recent gastroscopy. These so show evidence of increased eosinophils. There is an unusual condition called eosinophilic oesophagitis, which can sometimes cause intermittent obstruction of food and there are various treatments that can be tried for this. I understand that you normally live in Manchester and so it would be worth visiting your GP to discuss this further. Various stratergies that have shown to be helpful include dietary exclusions and topical steroids. I will leave this in the hands of you and your GP to take further."
Rare disease GET!

His name is George. Also, he started Spam.
Rayanne Graff:
i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc:
Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff:
Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck:
I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff:
No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck:
Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck:
Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire:
It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
