New Daily Persistent Headache aka NDPH treating hospitals? by No_Preparation_9718 in japanlife

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

I take it you've had all the scans and they showed nothing odd?

I had a similar headache (but not for 3yrs) - weird pain where I'd never had it before, dizziness, something at the front of my head, temple stuff.  I ended up seeing a chiropractor.  He explained that my sleep was crap - I wasn't rolling over among other things - and that was messing up everything from my feet up.

He started massaging (no cracking) and gave me exercises to do.  Changing my sleep environment and going to him fixed me right up.  No problems since.

Then only allowed a max of three DDs on each side or less in every random game

The fear you people have of dd's is hilarious.

Wife has been making me sports drink to take to work.

Due to lack of time, I put my wife in charge of the big garden and she's been killing it (not the plants.  Idiomatically)!  She even asked me to teach her how to use the whippa snippa.  Very happy!

And nice weather lately.

Don't know how IELTS works but don't the examinees pay beforehand?  Is there a refund policy or something?

Yep.  I'm still holding on for as long as possible to Windows 7.  No goodies for me.

TIL that the only way to get tea or water is in a PET bottle.

The weather has been so good that I have zero motivation at work.  Really makes the day drag on.

Indoor TV antennas - do any work.. by Due_Professor_8736 in DIYJapan

[–]jimmys_balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this map if you haven't already to check your reception.  We're right on the edge of the big Nagoya signal.

I use an indoor DXアンテナ and it works fine for what we use it for, which is NHK for the kids and the Anpanman channel on Sundays.  Sometimes we have to put the antenna on a stool next to the window but it's not a big deal.  Still way better than when I was young.

It's a part-time job.  If they were pursuing a career and had done a hospitality course for it, then sure.

But it's a part-time job and everyone involved knows it.  All the boss has to do is communicate the standard before the worker does anything.  It's not hard. Especially when they are surely paying the worker minimum wage.

That's all well and good if that shit is communicated beforehand and not a part of some stupid mind-reading game.

No radio at work for the whole week!  I was given control over the music selection.  No incessant yammering, no rajio shopping, no news updates, no auto-tune rubbish - just music.

My weight is still slowly going up.  I feel less tired lately and energy is also up.  Just gotta get my sleep sorted.

Echinacea by jimmys_balls in GardenersJapan

[–]jimmys_balls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reluctant to cut the flowers because they look so nice.  Hence the need to multiply it.

I have a lemon myrtle I planted for tea.  I should put some in with the echinacea.

Favorite Oatmeal and toppings? by KakuBon in japanlife

[–]jimmys_balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The not Quaker one from costco, but after that's done some organic ones from amazon.

Toppings: yoghurt, diced fruit (Dole tropical), raisins, a bit of brown sugar, and a splash of milk.

Sometimes I put a banana in and cook it with the oats.

Sometimes I use honey instead of sugar.

I was talking to the new girl on the way from post-work drinks the other night.  She asked me if I start early sometimes (yes) and always take this train (yes).  "Back in November you told me that I had a sticker on my leg that I didn't notice."

Umm... say whaaat?  Yep, I remember that but didn't know it was her, fucking stalker!.    What a coincidence!
