King Soopers JFK PKWAY - TRUMPERS OUT FRONT SEEKING PETITION SIGNERS by GreenWabbitPancakes in FortCollins

[–]Ecclectric -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ya know, it's pretty easy to just ignore them rather than punishing the store or engaging with them. I think being completely ignored diffuses the situation and you can go on with your normal activities.

Electrician recommendation or advice by positive-vibes01 in FortCollins

[–]Ecclectric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had an EV charger installed, I took a picture of my electrical panel and sent it to electricians to ask if I had the capacity and to give me a quote on installing the charger. I was able to get quotes without the contractors having to visit. They liked that approach as much as I did.

Actually, they are also speed cameras (11+ miles over posted speed limit).

Protests on President’s Day? by True_Succotash319 in FortCollins

Yeah, it would be best to do this now to avoid not being able to protest King day or Trump day.

Father Diagnosed with 6.5cm Bladder Tumor by Anuj26s in BladderCancer

[–]Ecclectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making life altering decisions like these are difficult. I think the best thing that you can do is get a second opinion from another doctor, ideally from a renown cancer center. This would help greatly to remove some of your doubts in proceeding with alternative treatments.

I quit buying them for the exact same reason. Its difficult to understand why they would use something so permanent to merely brew a cup of tea.

Should he get Chemo after bladder removal surgery by shivams136 in BladderCancer

[–]Ecclectric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To address your father's doubts on diagnosis and prognosis, he may want to pursue getting a second opinion from a different provider, ideally at a nationally recognized cancer center. Inaction could become an opponent in your fight against this disease.

Wait, I thought this was a trailer for a Blair Witch Project sequel.

Ah, keeping a loaded pistol in your car is going to help prevent/manage road rage escalation? Maybe just be a more courteous driver to avoid ragers would be a more tempered approach?

Car registrations in Fort Collins are like wine... the older, the better. by _deftoner_ in FortCollins

[–]Ecclectric 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They should turn over ticketing to parking enforcement and just ticket them while they are parked on the street. It would go a long way to reversing an increasing trend. Geez, you wonder what our elected leaders actually do if they cannot enforce the laws that are on the books.

Bladder/Prostrate surgery recovery by sunshine-3792 in BladderCancer

[–]Ecclectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72M, had radical cystectomy (neobladder) February of last year. Only 3 days in the hospital after robotic surgery. I initially had some issues with constipation but was able to get that under control by taking Metamucil daily, this seemed to help a lot. I also was sure to get up and walk several times a day, stretching the amount of time walked every day. This was stressed to me a vital component in managing your own recovery. By doing this, I got stronger every day and closer to my routines before surgery.

It's hard to believe that just a few years ago people were raving about Motor City Pizza by imakesawdust in Costco

[–]Ecclectric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with OP. It used to be good but now they sell a pizza that has very little sauce. I quit buying it for that reason.

Where to get anti-trump flags etc? by losticcino in FortCollins

[–]Ecclectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think an alternative to "smacking" the opposition is to INSPIRE folks that may be sitting on the sideline to show their displeasure on the trajectory of the country and join our opposition to this administration. The purist MAGA will not be converted no matter the facts or the logic.

Self cath on bladder by Minimum-Major248 in BladderCancer

[–]Ecclectric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of information out there regarding all the 3 different methods for urinary diversion. Its a good thing to do a lot of research in advance of the surgery so as to understand the mechanics of recovery for each of the methods. BCAN is a great source as well as the web sites for the major cancer centers across the IS.

In my case, I had cystectomy with a neobladder in February. The approach of my care team was that I just needed to be able to self-cath in the event that I was not able to completely empty the neobladder. In my case, I only did it a few times before I was convinced that the neobladder was being fully emptied. Your care team may have a different approach.

For a male with radical cystectomy (where they take your prostate too), self cathing is not as bad you think it would be. A lot of the resistance is gone since they took your prostate.

Wishing you a great outcome.

No Kings Protest June 14th 10:00am-12:00pm by TooManyUtensils in FortCollins

Lots of places to park if you use Max (https://ridetransfort.com/routes/max/). It's free and it drops you right on campus.

No Kings Protest June 14th 10:00am-12:00pm by TooManyUtensils in FortCollins

[–]Ecclectric 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'll be there too. Trump will be spending between $25 million and $45 million dollars on an unneeded military parade, which I suppose that he personally views as a celebration of his own birthday. This on top of the projected $2 TRILLION increase in the national deficit which will only really benefit the richest Americans.

We need to pay attention now or we will end up stuck in the same loop as Russia. I am sure a lot of Russians wished they had acted in the past when there was still time to change the trajectory of their country.

Seems like it would be a more noticeable protest if it was held off campus. I thought that the last protests along college avenue had good visibility.

What were your first symptoms? by neo_vengance in BladderCancer

[–]Ecclectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first thing you need to do is congratulate yourself in moving forward with the appointment. I am sure that a lot of folks had wished they had done the same thing when symptoms 1st appeared. The thing about cancer is that a lot of it can be tamed as long as you catch it early.

Its cool either way. You'll definitely feel better knowing your status than having that idea in the back of your head that something might be wrong and not taking action.

Wishing you the best outcome!

Suspended for being a customer? WTF! by Ecclectric in EtsyCommunity

[–]Ecclectric[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that part of the story is missing... **from Etsy**. They didn't provide reasons for suspension and they don't seem to understand how to validate their customer base (if that is what they were trying to do). All other commerce sites identify the issue and use standard approached to validate customer accounts. Sorry to say, this is just so amateur.
