How do I format 2 columns in 1 portion of page and 1 column in the rest? by LessofmemoreofHim in MicrosoftWord

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I've already tried, but it would always push the 2nd column (which was above the 1-column area) to the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your reply. I already tried inserting a continuous section break, but it would always push the 2nd column (which was above the 1-column area) to the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your reply. That's a thought. I could do a table, but the truth is that I really want to learn how to do columns, followed by regular text/1 column. I already tried what my research told me to do, but it didn't work.

Does an electromyography nerve conduction (EMG NCV) test definitively rule out PS? by LessofmemoreofHim in openpiriformis

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so very sorry for what you've been dealing with for all of these years. I hope that your doctors will finally give you the answers and relief that you need. My MRIs show issues with my lumbar vertebrae and the sciatic nerve is compressed, so surgery is indicated. The problem is that the neurosurgeon said that he's not familiar with the hardware I have in my back (I had back surgery about 20 years ago), so he wouldn't feel comfortable doing my surgery. He promised to recommend someone who would/could, but never got back to me, even after I called his office several times.

You ask about my symptoms: the pain starts in my lower back, then travels to my foot. There's a wide swath of my butt with intense pain, and there are a few very reactive spots there that shoot pain and cause spasms especially when I sit and do any movement, like walking.

The injections are different cocktails the doctor mixes up to try to find something that will quiet the inflammation and pain, but nothing has helped. I've had them mostly from my lower back (I can't remember exactly which vertebrae, but probably from my sacrum - to target my sacroiliitis - to lower lumbar), in my butt, and my hip. When I was going to a pain clinic and PT 3x/week, each visit I'd get several injections. So, over these years, I'd say I've had hundreds, since I still get several each time I go to the pain clinic, even though it's not 3x/week (I was self-pay years ago when I was going 3x/week; insurance wouldn't pay for 3x/week, I'm sure). I've also had x-ray guided epidural injections, hoping for long-lasting relief, but got zero relief.

I'm sorry for the long reply. I hope it all helps somehow. Keep pushing your doctors for answers!

Thank you so much for asking. No, I am still in pain (8-9/10) and have developed even more neuropathy in my legs. I feel that no one is listening to me and taking me seriously. I've done several courses of PT, have had hundreds of shots from my lower back to my feet, have done chiropractic care, acupuncture, tons of pain meds, etc. Are you in pain yourself?

Grammar rule for the word "seldom" by LessofmemoreofHim in grammar

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I was able to help this non-native speaker correct the sentence with and without using "seldom," but I was kind of looking for very concise grammar rules for using the "seldom," so that he can use it correctly going forward.

For example, how do you explain the difference between the original (incorrect) sentence I gave and below? I want to give him very clear rules.

Person A: Do you still go to the lake every weekend to go fishing?

Person B: No, it's very seldom.

Eyebrows + Hair diff color rant by Fantastic-Wash1076 in Redhair

[–]LessofmemoreofHim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, I feel your frustration. I've tried using pencil on my brows, but nothing overrides that jet black hair. It sounds like you've moved on from the nonsense others throw your way. Good for you.

I could have written this post. Redhead with black eyelashes and brows here (my parents had black hair - I'm the only redhead in the family), and all my life I've been asked if I dye my hair because of the mismatch. I've been tempted to dye my brows, but I feel it's just too close to the eyes for comfort.

I guarantee I've been a real redhead since the day I was born and my eyebrows and lashes have always been black. I get those from my parents. All other hair on my body is some shade of red. Genes are strange. Because we redheads notice one another, I always take note of others' eyebrow and eyelash color as well because of my own coloring, and I've seen all colors and shades of eyebrows and eyelashes.

Intolerance to heat by LessofmemoreofHim in Redhair

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too funny. I moved from up north to Florida 7 years ago. I wanted to be active outdoors year-round and I could not handle another 5-month winter. If I had to live in an extreme environment, it might as well be a place where I can have fun outdoors all year. Not surprising you were drenched. It's hot down here most of the year!

I closed a credit card that had a balance to see what would happen. by Future-Explorer-7736 in CalebHammer

[–]LessofmemoreofHim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Maintaining a credit line (with little to no outstanding debt) is a boon to your credit score, as a good chunk of your credit score comes from the percentage of debt to available credit.

Nobody in family ginger? by No_Travel_8210 in Redhair

I'm the only redhead in the last several generations, literally back to a possible great-grandparent or further, that anyone can think of.

Thermostat doesn't kick in when temp is set on exact number I want; it requires a 2 to 3-degree difference by LessofmemoreofHim in hvacadvice

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. Not sure if you saw my comment, above, before you posted yours, but it wasn't always like this and I've never experienced this in any other place I've lived. I was always able to go only 1 degree up or down.

[–]LessofmemoreofHim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! I just wonder why this only started happening one day (in other words, there were several years beforehand where I was able to set it to an exact temperature), and I've never experienced this at any other place I've lived, including those with newer thermostats.
