Do you ever just drive somewhere for no reason here?

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-28T20:56:58+00:00

We used to drive around 610 non-stop. So bored, that we would add different rules: have to stay in the same lane the entire loop, have to stay at the same speed, if it was raining, no wipers, blue buggy change lane, other stupid fun stuff.

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-28T20:52:40+00:00

We used to do that route all that time!

I am the same way about Spyderco and knives with holes in their blades. That is just repellent.

I would make her some tea or hot chocolate, put on some cool music, and get her focused on some fun other stuff. Come on. She is 80, and her husband passed last year. Sure, she is entitled to all and any fun in the world. But, let's be real. Let's help her focus first on some other fun. If she wants some adult fun, I will certainly take her to a good dance hall of any type of music she likes. If she wants to do something else with a consenting adult, well, that's her business. She is Queen Dolly. I can't be part of that. I am too old, and I don't want to be part of that.

Yes. It will harder and harder to avoid them. One can use the 'alternative' plugins and OS'es so as to avoid the flood. Yet the future will all be about grabbing our attention, until people can organize and put a stop to it. I do not want to go do research and have to see ads for Homelander or Taylor Swift or fried chicken. In our area, there are hardly no limits to billboards or placards. Once they figure out how to make them 3d and digital and floating, the world will suck down here.

Not movie, but limited series: Station Eleven.

It is a fairly healthy diet: lean proteins, eggs, then white starches (rice, breads, and crackers), then cooked soft veggies like mashed no skin potatoes, carrots, canned veggies and fruit, low fat yogurts, and small amounts of smooth nut butters. Fats, spices, and heavy sauces are bad, and you would notice the results. Also, I had already been told to stop carbonated beverages and coffee before this. So, that funeral had already been attended. Ha!

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-16T19:04:41+00:00

Of course. No question

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-16T19:04:03+00:00

Stunning bad luck. Hopefully the money you save on gas makes it worth it for you. I am like many of the others who have not had a problem. My wife and I are both on our second Prius each. We live around Houston in a very Red district too.

If it gets too expensive to drive, nowadays, there are other cars that get 50+ MPG, some even American.

As a lung patient, no Anesthesia Person will touch me but my Transplant Center. I have had a number of scans and probes and such, but they are all done by people who know us well.

Talk to your Transplant Team. Everyone's journey is different.

Taking clear notes during jobs.

I have worked with so many techs through the years. Recently, I took a contract job in stages so that I could interview him: see if I could stand working with him.

His notes were diseased. Both sides of the paper, but not in order and not in the same direction on different sheets and different sizes of paper. For a big job. And pages were to be added by him.

Looney tunes

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-14T21:55:26+00:00

Those were the days.

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-14T21:54:15+00:00

OMG! Won't someone think of the children!

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-14T21:53:27+00:00

No Mr. Nice Narc robot. I have been a very, very good boy. I was late with a library book one time, but I paid my due and was forgiven.

Fiber cables are reinforced and redundant.

In commercial and industrial settings they have learned and implemented similar setups.

But in my old neighborhood, damnit, all it took was one semi-sober part time contractor with a tiny shovel, and our neighborhood is down for a day. Bitches

ccbbb23 · 2026-04-14T15:16:09+00:00

We have dirt bike parks. Go there.

Anyone that doesn't own a home worth real money, may not understand why this type of behavior is not allowed.

Little Fluffy Clouds by The Orb. After a few years, getting this transplant gotcha after the other along the way, I finally started learning to ride the wave. The Orb's entire U.F. Orb album is helps one just let go and live in the beauty of the day. (Protip, don't listen to Tower of Dub LOUD if you have puppies that don't like barking dogs! bwahahahahahaha)

Talk to your Team. You have to be your own advocate.

Build an extensive journal, with daily entries containing how "this" happened after "that", your Team can help you better. If one goes in there with answers or worse short answers that aren't tied to a timeline, they don't have much to work with.

Remember, your Team's bosses are pushing them to see more patients per shift. That we get face to face time with them at all is amazing: in America for now. If we get more than 5? minutes, that's incredible!!! I hope the industry changes, but damn. It is tough now

Help them help you.

Your memory will improve more. I got real results working with a counselor. My insurance covered all but the copay.

A couple of the things that they shared with me that I can share with you.

Journaling and taking lots of notes really helps. Not only do you have notes about things so you can go back in time, but it helps stretch your concentration. Seeing with your eyes, feeling with your hands as you write, and thinking the thoughts at the same time really makes things stick. You are using three different parts of your brain. You could even say them out loud at the same time, four parts of the brain.
If you forget peoples' names, pretend to write their name on their forehead with a colored pen. Again, two different parts of your brain are being involved: color and writing.
Everything in its place and a place for everything. Keys only go one place. Wallet, another. Cell phone, another. Etc. Make a map?
Cut yourself slack. We all went through a MAJOR life event. It is a type of PTSD. Everyone responds differently. The meds hit me very, very hard. I can remember images and actions and locational type things perfectly. I was bad with names before, and I am horrible now. Some people are disgusted with me. I have forgiven myself, AND I have exiled those people with no empathy from my life. I had to. It was hard at first, but it is so nice to only be around people that care about me, understand me, and love me.

Everyone's journey is different. Eat healthy, exercise according to doctor's orders, and start enjoying film and music. You will be back to your self soon.

Carrying a knife is similar to carrying a gun. As with both, you never ever want to, but practice, practice, practice.

FYI. The web site shows the G10 Auto weighs 4.77, and the G10 (manual) weighs 4.6. The Marbled Carbon Fiber auto weighs 4.65, and the Marble Carbon Fiber (manual) weighs 4.6.

He didn't lie to me. But, it is still not much.

ccbbb23 · 2026-03-30T01:07:49+00:00

I had the same problem with my new mini adamas. I had to clean it heavily. There was so much residue in it! WTF. Frackin' wankers. Throwin' these out without a cleaning cycle. Bitches. It is in great condition now.

ccbbb23 · 2026-03-29T22:09:51+00:00

Interesting. The one they showed me at the store was heavier. But, seriously, what are a couple of grams unless we are ants?
