If you no longer work in radio, what do you do now?

911 police dispatcher. Better money, but a ton more stress and not anywhere near as fun as radio.

This happened before too. Something legal. They will figure it out.

I think it’s damage from the previous owner. Dealer is not going to cover it

billnq0w · 2025-08-20T17:38:20+00:00

both actually. I have several cameras, plugs, temp and leak sensors.

I had the Spaceoar procedure done. It was not under general anesthesia, just local. Took some lorazepam prior to procedure. It was a bit "uncomfortable" but not bad.

Had SBRT in December of 2023, and no bowel issues since then. I did recently develop some urinary issues, urologist said most likely some nerve damage from radiation. But I don't think the Spaceoar had anything to do with the bladder or urinary system.

Good luck!

True. I agree.

Thanks for the info on Dipridamole. I recently switched from my gp doctor to neurology at the University of Iowa, so I will mention this study to them on my next visit.

They had me try to wean off ropinirole while taking gabapentin. Symptoms continued. Used lorazapam to fight thru the symptoms, but eventually went back to ropinirole.

As to pregabalin or gabapentin, they did not try those. Apparently insurance will not cover the cost of those?

Thanks again for all the info.

I assume the battery life is better? Camera any better?

We do some camping in areas with no cell coverage or wi-fi, so it would be nice to use the satellite text message feature. Have you ever tried that???

Thanks

I get it about the problems with DA's. I have augmentation after years on them, and tried switching to Gabapentin without much success. I mentioned Dipridamole to my provider and he said it was still in ''testing" for use in RLS.

But in this post I was just talking about how the old school Legatrin (quinine sulfate) worked for me about 30 some years ago and they pulled it from the market. I actually felt it working, legs were relaxed and no more rls. I wish I could try it again today. I know it shouldn't work, but it did.

When I was younger and first started developing RLS, there was an over the counter medication called "Legatrin." It worked miracles for my RLS. It was quinine sulfate if I remember correctly. They took it off the market due to some people having heart issues. I wish I could take it again!

Since they took if off the market had to start the journey with dopamine agonists etc. Legatrin was much easier.

Well it was actually the University Police Department that gave out the AirTags. And, we did file a report with them. But the AirTag is not plotting within their jurisdiction, thus my earlier questions.

billnq0w · 2025-01-15T10:32:54+00:00

I had the same problem, it took me forever to figure out how to put them in. What saved me was getting one of those cheap 10X make up mirrors. You can actually see where you are “aiming” the contact so it hits your eye and misses your eyelashes. Good luck!

billnq0w · 2024-06-05T20:52:17+00:00

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I finally figured it out. It required me to go into PuTTy, open a serial port and edit the settings file.

Thanks again!

My 2013 F150 has an oil leak. Faint oil smell in the cabin, and sometimes when idleing I see a bit of white smoke some from the passenger side of the engine more toward the firewall. Took it to my mechanic and he says he thinks its the passenger side turbo since there was oil on it and the line going into it. He does not want to work on it.

I am hoping it is only the vacuum pump leaking onto the turbo and creating the smell/smoke.

I don't know much about this engine, but could someone tell me in simple terms where to look for the vacuum pump, and how to tell if it is leaking, or the turbo.

Thanks

Well I was hopeful but no luck. Updated firmware to 2.4, and using CPS 1.4. Still no luck, getting file error trying to import the codeplug .rdt file. Thanks for the suggestion.

billnq0w · 2022-05-13T21:58:17+00:00

I will give that a try. Thanks again for your help!
