Hi, all. As you may have already seen, our mod carey is a bit under the weather this week. Considering everything he does for the site, I thought we ought to have a "carey appreciation thread" to acknowledge his awesomeness and wish him well.
Carey, I really appreciate all of the links and posts you make to keep lots of interesting content flowing into this board. You are a great citizen of this little community and you improve it noticeably for all the rest of us. You're a good Suns fan and a good friend. I know I speak for all of us when I say that we're wishing you well and hoping you feel better very soon. (Please reply in this thread if you feel the same!)
In case you haven't met carey, here are a few photos of him. He looks a lot different depending on the angle:
Get well soon, buddy.

In honor of Carey, a slightly edited monologue from the TV show, M*A*S*H* ...
"I will not carey a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carey your books, I'll carey a torch, I'll carey a tune, I'll carey on, carey over, carey forward, Carey Grant, cash and carey, carey me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-carey' if you show me how, but I will not carey a gun!"

What happened bud? I'm out, but I can't see out of either eye well yet. Thank god you can just zoom in on a macbook and read everything blown up. I just can't do it for long because it starts to hurt.

Hope that the vision clears up pretty soon. I had some work done on my nose to alleviate sinus problems and rhinitis, and I'm getting seepage from my nose that would make a field surgeon blush!

I had a septioplasty done when I was a bit younger to correct a deviated septum and some chronic breathing / sinus infection problems. It was a surprisingly difficult and long recovery. I remember when they finally pulled those strips of gauze out of my nostrils and I could finally breathe again after a few weeks of total pluggage. It was amazing.

Septoplasty + turbinoplasty. Technology must have improved quite a bit, I'm breathing semi normal less than 36 hours in, just lots of "gunk" coming down my nostrils.
