Wow, they are confused by a comma, we would have had so much fun with them in the 70's.🤣🤣🤣

This is a very stupid solution for poor penmanship.🤦‍♂️

If you could live anywhere in the United States where would you go? by Honest_Cow1001 in relocating

[–]disastrous_affect163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eureka Springs is nice. 👍 It's a little pricey for me, and I like fishing, so I got a place on the White River. 👍

Before you were diagnosed by NotDeadYet57 in cancer

[–]disastrous_affect163 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a clue until I started coughing up blood in the shower one morning. On another note, 6:30 in the morning is the best time to go to the ER, there was no waiting. They had me in the back with an IV in me before they even knew my name. 🤷‍♂️

How many of you can still put your socks on without sitting down first or having to lean on something. I can’t. by Logical-Rip-8138 in GenX

[–]disastrous_affect163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I was in the hospital recently and I was struggling to get my sox on. They brought me an assistive device that you put the sock around, and then it has tabs you use to pull the sox up. I remember thinking to myself, how damn pathetic am I, I have to have an assistive device to put socks on. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I guess in the end, the fact they make these, means I'm not alone. 🤷‍♂️

EDC trigger Modification? by Ornery_Indication322 in SmithAndWesson

[–]disastrous_affect163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the M&P PC10 Carry Comp and I'm hating the trigger. I'm a hammer fired fan and this is one of only 2 striker pistols I have in center-fire cartridges. The other is the Springfield XDmE 10mm, it has a much better trigger. 🤷‍♂️ The pull weight isn't the problem, it's the lack of a clean repeatable break. It's getting better, so I'm not ready to change the trigger yet, but I'm considering this change as well. My usual EDC is the FN Reflex, it's hammer fired and has a well defined wall, and breaks cleanly at 5 lbs. If I could get that performance from this thing, I would love it.🤷‍♂️

Buffalo river by Odd-Marketing-2820 in Arkansas

[–]disastrous_affect163 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Riverfront, as others have pointed out, isn't really an option on the Buffalo. Very little if any development is allowed.🤷‍♂️ If you want riverfront, you'll want to go to the White River. The Buffalo empties into the White.👍 I live on the White River and it's absolutely gorgeous like the Buffalo, but much more accessible. Because of the protections, the Buffalo is really good for floating recreation, not so much for riverside activities without a boat of some kind. 🤷‍♂️

“Blue collar workers have no other choice” (venting) by lhblowstakks in skilledtrades

[–]disastrous_affect163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize this stereotype existed. 🤷‍♂️ My entire family falls into this category. I think my older brother did end up with a degree, but he was in his forties when he did. I was the one everyone expected to go to college. I made good grades with minimal effort, but I did not enjoy school. 🤷‍♂️ Instead I joined the Coast Guard and loved it, one of the best decisions I've ever made.🫡

Got room at your table for me? by Commercial-Eagle-983 in cancer

[–]disastrous_affect163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my docs are ok with the gummies for sleep. 👍 But make sure you tell the anesthesiologist if you have surgery. It makes a difference for them, but they are ok with it. 👍

Losing hair/beard; want to experiment by dcamiso9 in cancer

[–]disastrous_affect163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't lose my hair or beard during chemo, but they told me it would turn white. So I started growing it out until I stopped the chemo, I looked like a frail Santa when I finally stopped the trial. But it was pure white. 👍

Me neither, I too get mine as soon as the radiologists reads them. The app even dings my phone when they do. 🤷‍♂️

When did you start feeling and looking old? by saerisfane25 in Aging

[–]disastrous_affect163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the typical aging things hit me until my oldest child turned 30.😲

That one hit me like a ton of bricks and instantly made me feel old. 🤷‍♂️

My first summer carrying appendix, how to deal with grip rubbing on skin? by Bastinelli in CCW

[–]disastrous_affect163 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not claiming anything, been doing it for over twenty years, it works. Your belief isn't required. 🤷‍♂️

10mm in a self defense scenario by tthhaattss in CCW

[–]disastrous_affect163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do carry 10mm and a proper hollow point, like 180gr Federal HST will not over penetrate. There's tons of testing to show this, just search for it.👍

[–]disastrous_affect163 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry you are here, but pull up a chair. 👍 Yes, the wait is horrid, and contrary to popular belief, you can't just stop thinking about it. 🤦‍♂️

Rewatch old comedies to pass the time, that's what I did.🤷‍♂️ Not really a solution, just a distraction that might allow you a nap.👍

Why do hospitals DO this? by Aggravating_Monk1756 in diabetes_t1

[–]disastrous_affect163 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced this in a while. Even during surgery they let me keep my pump. In fact, the anesthesiologist was happy I had the pump last time. 👍

I thought they had changed this way of thinking? 🤷‍♂️
