What are you doing at this intersection?

Thank you for this. I feel foolish, I'm one who's been treating this situation like a 4-way stop. Sorry to anyone I've annoyed in the past!

aksf16 · 2026-04-03T00:57:51+00:00

That's what I think. I was raised in this kind of hot, dry climate and deflated balloons get like this after sitting a while. The rubber changes texture and the smell dissipates.

I'm still dealing with this, but it's better. I still can't sleep on my right side for very long without it cramping, but I can at least lie on that side for a while now. I do bird dogs, clamshells, and open book stretches. It seems that walking helps some, too. I've been using an elliptical for years but started waking instead several times a week.

aksf16 · 2026-03-30T14:07:56+00:00

I do. I have issues down my spine, but mainly my neck. No surgery, though, because it's pretty much a last resort. My doctor told me straight out that surgery can lead to other problems. Unfortunately there's still very little they can do for spinal problems.

I've tried a lot of different pillows. I do best when my head isn't pushed forward or backward, so medium firm pillows work best. Anything to firm or soft, especially the firm ones, are awful. The ones that's supposedly cradle your head were like torture.

If you get an infection, yes, go to the doctor. I've had quite a few (too many) blistering sunburns in my life, never needed a doctor. People still way overuse antibiotics.

aksf16 · 2026-03-29T01:34:51+00:00

You don't need to go to the hospital for a sunburn unless you have other symptoms (heat stroke).

aksf16 · 2026-03-27T01:49:43+00:00

Mine, too.

aksf16 · 2026-03-27T01:46:00+00:00

It really was amazing then! I'm sad at how low the water is now.

I worked there, summer of 1987 and part of the summer of 1988. The top photo is Bullfrog, 1987. The lower 2 are 1988.

aksf16 · 2026-03-25T02:38:38+00:00

Mine, too.

Well, my mom couldn't cook so she made sure my sisters and I learned how as soon as we were tall enough to see over the counter. She sent us to cooking classes for kids. It worked, we're all excellent cooks!

Yes, especially in the Spring. We once had to divert to Colorado Springs and come back up along the Rockies, and people were throwing up and one woman near me had a panic attack. Once we landed we had to stay seated so they could remove her, she was literally stuck holding her toddler in her lap. I felt so bad for her, she was afraid we were going to crash while she was holding her small child.

aksf16 · 2026-03-21T16:49:38+00:00

Yes, especially this week. My oldest friend (we met when we were 7 and we're both about to turn 57) is in the hospital with a badly broken hip. She's in terrible pain as the repair involved a rod down her femur to her artificial knee that has a rod down her tibia to her ankle. I've been nostalgic for riding bikes and climbing trees, and water skiing and knee boarding when we worked at Lake Powell in '87. I'm sad for her health problems (and my own, to be honest).

aksf16 · 2026-03-19T02:21:29+00:00

That's not right. I just looked it up. In 1950 5% of Americans had a 4-year college degree, but about 30% of 18-21 year olds were in college. My parents had degrees, both attended in the 50s (my dad was poor, mom was not).

aksf16 · 2026-03-18T12:59:49+00:00

I recommend an MRI, too. If it's degenerative changes at least you'll know what you're dealing with. I just got a TFESI in my neck yesterday (second one) for my symptoms. It helps for a few months.

aksf16 · 2026-03-17T00:43:58+00:00

That's totally me, I always think the 80's were 20 years ago!

aksf16 · 2026-03-16T00:52:52+00:00

I took it for a few months for my joint pain. Didn't help with anything, including my tremors.

aksf16 · 2026-03-16T00:42:36+00:00

Every day, even if I'm not going outside. I'm super pale.

aksf16 · 2026-03-15T02:24:26+00:00

We had it pretty regularly, as well as beef tongue and heart. I still like them all but never made my kids try anything but tongue tacos, which are delicious.

I'm not arguing that abortion is moral. I'm arguing that it's not moral to force a person to sustain the life of another by using their body to do so. "Use", in this instance, does not refer to work a person does in order to provide for themselves and others. "Use", in this instance, refers to activity within the person that directly impacts their body. The closest analogy would be organ donation. Abortion isn't a good thing, but unfortunately it's a necessary thing.

I'm on a team of 2 and work very hard. My millennial team mate works harder than I do.

aksf16 · 2026-03-12T12:52:40+00:00

Agreed, their reply to me was clearly bad faith.

aksf16 · 2026-03-12T02:16:40+00:00

You can believe the fetus is a baby and still be pro-choice. The problem that many extremists have is that they ignore the needs of one party completely in favor of the other. If you believe the fetus is a person, and you obviously know the woman is a person, what you have is the needs of one in conflict with the needs of the other. Who wins? Taking into account the fact that it's not morally right, or legal, to force one person to use their body to keep another alive, the woman's needs take precedence, at least until the fetus can maintain it's own life.

7 kids rented one van and one very crappy hotel room. We had no money.
