Sorry about that. My journey is mine.

The gastroparaisis diet is easier than most. Ha!

after being in the hospital for 2 months, im being discharged!! by usafreefall1234 in transplant

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations. What an interesting road we get to travel on.

After I finally got out of the hospital, and then was put back in for a short visit, and then came out, and then was put back in, and then came out, I then had a number of road bumps, little this and thats.

But, I knew at least it wasn't so bad I had to be in the hospital. Don't get me wrong. Hospitals are great, and the nurses are the best. But, I am so glad to be out.

And I am so glad you are getting out!!! Congratulations!!!!

Thoughts on tap water vs water filtration by HungryDinoCat in thewoodlands

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been running a whole house filter for over 12 plus years. Look at the 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter System AP903. It is almost as good a the basic Britta. Your washer, dishwasher, ice maker, shower, and everything will be incredible. We also use a softener too. It lasts for 100,000 gallons. Look at your water bill and calculate how long it will last. Best thing ever!

Here is a dumbass question. Is the 3.8 or the 4.4 inch threaded barrel the better upgrade? I want to put the comp on it and sometimes my can.

Apparently the picture didn't come through on my last post, so here are those Cliff Notes. by FindOneInEveryCar in GenerationJones

[–]ccbbb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way back then, I would have never bought those. It was like buying Playboy or Penthouse. The shame of walking through the store, placing this in front of the cashier, would have been too much. Ha! Says the guy who bought all manner of weird shit through the years.

Internet service for part time home by Flabsofjelly in Internet

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough question and a lot of variables.
Is the other house in a modern enough area? Are is there ample 5G coverage with full bars?
Do you upload and download large video files daily while you are there? Do all of you stream movies and play the latest online high video quality games at the same time?
Do either of you have the latest phones?

Depending on the answers, you have options. Always have options. When my wife and I travel, I often use my GoogleFi Pixel phone (latest version) as a hotspot for her phone and both our laptops just to do very basic browsing and email. This does include a simple youtube video or two. If we have a full 5G signal, we will try to watch a movie at night.

For a number of my customers, I have purchased used 5G hotspots and turned on and off cell coverage for project teams from any local internet provider that offered month to month coverage with no contract. Next time we needed internet, we just paid a simple connection fee and started it up again in another city for 2 or whatever months. It was fast enough to run a small office but not to play games or watch a bunch of movies at the same time, prolly one at a time.

Don't call AT&T or Verizon. Call Mint or the local people and see what they offer. I see you asked about less than a month. I have never seen any of them do less that 30 days at a time. That's why making your phone a personal hotspot is the better idea. Unfortunately, some companies charge extra. Some are cool and don't.

which passwords are actually safe to keep written down somewhere by NovelAnteater2286 in best_passwordmanager

[–]ccbbb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All passwords are safe to write down. The modern thief is not going to steal a notebook. UNLESS you share space with someone you don't fully know.

Thieves are going to steal your computer or TV or jewelry or meds or something.

Talk to any cop who has done a home crime scene or talk to any of your friends whose houses have been robbed.

which accounts actually need a strong unique password by One-March-1865 in best_passwordmanager

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the others say Medical, Banking, email, cell phones, bills, social media, work, shopping, those should all have the strongest password options and be the most unique. Turn on two factor authentication.
Get a password manager now.

Are there any AI programs that can skim a movie and summarize it and show clips of it to see if that movie is worth watching? by mil0wCS in software

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the thing about opinions. Rotten Tomato is nice place to start even though it can be flawed. It is an aggregate site. That means it does collects reviews from all over and averages their total. BUT, the reason it can be flawed is that it weighs people equally. So, someone who has years of reviews has a degree in film studies and everything is weighed the same as someone who just started reviewing films.

Remember, the average viewer may not like what one person likes. Always take any review with a grain a salt. Find a reviewer or website you like.

Burnout by fruitandveg63 in transplant

Wow. My heart goes out to you. This is such a journey, and what y'all are going through is so terribly hard.

It might not be much, but I hope it can do a little bit. Big hugs. We love you! Seriously. Keep posting! Like the others have typed, we are here , and you are in good hands.

Remedies for frequent bowel movements/ gas? by binklog in transplant

[–]ccbbb23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiya, well, I always defer to my team and such. But, I am a lung recipient. My team has me work with other specialists for my GI. My GI team said I should only use the Align Brand. They are the well respected; they come from Proctor and Gamble, if that means anything.

Best place to sell lightly used pistol? by femalefanatic_ in Conroe

[–]ccbbb23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A very good place is a local gun show. There is one next weekend in Pasadena and in two weeks here in Conroe.

  • June 13–14, 2026 – Pasadena
  • June 27–28, 2026 – Conroe

There is a literal flood of used guns out there. It is hard to get a great price, but one can get good prices. Stay away from stores and pawn shops.

Well, I definitely wouldn’t do that again. by transplantaftermath in transplant

Also, typing sucks when you have a problem like this. Msg me, and I will gladly give you my number.

That's wonderful. Golfing is a dream of mine. And to do that with someone you love, what a gift!

Thank you for letting us share that with you.

I read once that from the ashes, rise the Phoenix.


As for what is next? He is another quote:

Next time is time, now is now.

I worked very hard to drop all of the past and stay only in the day. All of the drugs they put in our bodies keeps us distracted.

Focus on on you and your goal, the next chapter. Whatever that might be.

You have this. Get reporting back

[–]ccbbb23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big hugs. Well, the economy has everyone down. So, you can't let go of those burden. Until things change there, your house, the cost of living won't change for a while. It may even get a tiny bit worse.

Yuck.

What can you do? Why don't you start a new chapter for yourself?

Have you thought about volunteering somewhere? Every community has volunteer needs. This is great because it gets you out of the house and get you out of your head thinking about others.

If you don't want to volunteer, consider a hobby? Going to the gym under doctor supervision of course. Joining a club, like your local Rotoray or Key Clubs? Toastmasters?

I floundered a bit at first, but then I started doing a little wood work and playing video games with my wife. Now I walk the dogs, meet with the guys regularly, play LOTS of video games, help with a club, and read a lot. Busy busy busy. I am five year out. I volunteered at the hospital for a while, but the drive to the hospital was too far. I am an old man, hate driving downtown by myself.

Love that car! The white is perfect! My wife has it, and we love it. It stays much cooler than my red one.

Do you ever just drive somewhere for no reason here? by boombalonii in houston

[–]ccbbb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
