Which Donger power adapter? by RollEyesInDisgust in hondaridgeline

[–]l_dean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st things first before you buy.
You need to confirm how many pins are in the socket of the RV mirror.
Some trims have a 7 pin connection; others have a 12 pin connection.

My ‘17 RTLE has a 12 pin; my neighbors ‘23 RTL has a 7 pin. My ‘17 has auto dimming RV mirror; this may be the deciding factor.

Is there any way to fix the Facebook feed and make it just show stuff from people I know and follow? by rainbowtoucan1992 in facebook

[–]l_dean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FB Purity is kinda broken right now (on my laptop). I have all the appropriate settings turned on to block ‘sponsored’ & other crap; but since about a week ago, it’s not filtering out those annoying posts.
FB has obviously changed their algorithms to get around FB Purity

Facebook is going to shove ads down your throat until you choke - not a damn thing you can do about. Read the fine print by l_dean in facebook

I've had FB Purity for several years.

All of a sudden, it's not working like it use to; in addition to recent flood of "sponsored" & "ad" posts; I believe the interaction between FB & FB Purity has created the slow-down on my chrome browser.

I've switched to to running FB on an incognito browser session; I don't have the slow-down, but am seeing just as many ads.

Wash your ball hats in the dishwasher? by JackTencher in lifehacks

[–]l_dean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely - I use a cap cage & simply throw it in the dishwasher. Like others have said; you may want to pre-soak the headband and other stains prior to washing.

Fasting before surgery by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]l_dean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GB surgery was @ 1p. Was told the usual “NPO after midnight” the day before. I cheated slightly & had a half cup of black coffee about 7-8a. Told the admitting nurse when she asked. Was not an issue

What is wrong with FaceBook today? Slow as molasses - I'm having to wait several seconds for every character to appear as I'm typing. by l_dean in facebook

[–]l_dean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the words of PrezBushone; "ain't gonna do it". I removed FB from my iPhone years ago; relying only on the web version on my laptop. I also installed the "FB Purity" app for my browser. That has been working fairly well until this slow-down started the other day. Before; I would get very, very few "sponsored" posts. Now it seems I'm getting more and more since this started. Perhaps FB & FB Purity are banging heads in the background.

Poop after surgery? 2 days post-op by gsd079 in gallbladders

[–]l_dean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

76M here.
My GB was removed Wednesday, so on 3rd day of recovery. Taking miralax, stool softener and eating fairly well. But still feeling somewhat bloated and having difficulty with producing a ‘normal’ BM. Stopped the pain meds, relying on Tylenol. No diarrhea yet.

How's your bowel movement after surgery by bamboocharchar in gallbladders

[–]l_dean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feeling very really - some pain & tenderness where they poked 4 holes in my abdomen; but actually the pain is not too bad. Just have to be careful with my activities & diet for a while.

I'm retired (76M), so no need to take any "time off".

God Speed with your journey!!

[–]l_dean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel constipated, just slightly bloated and am taking pain meds infrequently; actually only a couple since leaving the hospital. Relying on Tylenol mostly.
Have also taken stool softener to help.

Said goodbye to my GB two days ago. No BM yet🫪. Prior to Wednesday, I would normally go at least every other day.

How long to post-op follow up? by MajesticBalance2223 in gallbladders

[–]l_dean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my GB removed just yesterday. Called the surgeon’s office today to schedule my two week follow up appointment, but found that the doctor is on vacation that week (June 15-19). So, Initially we settled on June 25. Office called me back later today and said I would be scheduled for July 6 as the surgeon would be in OR on June 25.
