I have had an Atrial Fibrillation problem for about 10 years or so. I had been in the hospital six different times. The fifth time, they couldn't slow it down, so I had a cardioversion (not really a surgery) where they put big magnetic pads on your back and chest, and shut you off, and turn you back on.
The sixth time, I had an Atrial Fibrillation Ablation done. Inserted a heart cath in my leg, up to my heart, and an electrophysiocardiologist cauterized some electrical spots in my heart. A 6 hour $50,000 operation. Haven't been back in the Hospital since though.

4012. When was the last time you did something and later asked yourself 'did I do the right thing?'?

About 2 months ago, when I made a life altering decision. Can't really say what it was though.

About a week back. An ex of a friend of mine (who I know he is trying to get back with), invited herself over to mine with a bottle of rum... which had predictable results.
Feel a bit shit about the whole thing. But she's sweet and I really like her.
I vacillate between thinking that either; I've stolen my friend's girl; or; I've let her chose for herself and it is wrong of me to think of her as 'belonging' to my friend.
I guess I'm not a particularly moral person...

No. An immoral person would have considered what they were going to do before the event and then carried out the act anyway. You're just a bloke who got offered no-stings sex on a plate and couldn't get past possibly the billion years of evolutionary success that preceded you. |

Dragon, no question. Have you ever read any of the Dragon Riders of Pern books by Anne McCaffery? They are excellent fantasy adventures. |

I have to have to have to pick the unicorn. I remember the first time I saw Legend and saw the white unicorn I fell in love with it. Then when I was in New York I had the amazing chance to view the Unicorn Tapestries HERE. A most wonderful of museums! |

A dragon as long as it's comfy: flying would be cool and all, but I think having spikey scales digging into my bum cheeks would ruin the experience. Unless you're talking about a komodo, then I'd rather ride a unicorn, those komodos have a nasty mouth (their mouths are also filled with all sorts of bacteria). |

Dragon, hands down. I have had an obsession with Dragons since I was a preteen. My next tattoo will be a dragon and I decorated my desk at work with dragons. (^_^) |

Speaking as a dragon, you are all welcome to ride on my back any time.
