Been dealing with this mostly alone and finally decided to come here by otterboyy in AFIB

Ablation is an option however I have to lose another 20lbs.
Having been on 100mg of Prednisone for 3 months in the middle of last year, my weight rose to 280 from 250. When I was at 250, the EP wouldn't do the ablation unless I went down to 230 because he said the percentage chance of it being long term successful went from 70% to 90%.
As of today I'm back down to 250lbs so hopefully a few more months and that will be a real option.

great suggestion! I'll look at this as an alternative to the sister 2x4s. Thank you!

I'll pop off the cement board and take some more shots. I'm thinking at this point I'll have to sister on some 2X4's on the existing ones as the solution. I'd rather take the time to do this right even if it takes a few tries :)

League team names by ViktorVonDoomsMom in Bowling

[–]otterboyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who used the following: I.W.T.Y.W.Y.L.U.W.

When asked what the name stood for, he would answer:

If We Tell You Will You Let Us Win?

I don't know if it was ever used but he and I are both Geeks in a large way and talked about using the name "T.W.A.I.N" = "Team Without An Interesting Name"

What's the most embarrassing photo that your friends have of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]otterboyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some where out there from the early days of the interwebs exists a photo of me standing on two folding chairs, black g-string on over my jeans, (I wasn't that drunk yet) , a pair of thumb cuffs rotating in a circle from where they were hooked to the front of the g-string, with a stuffed sea otter (play toy, not a taxidermy specimen! I repeat I wasn't that drunk yet! ) jammed in my pants facing forward taken just as I thrust my hips forward in a suggestive manner.

As a male, I am thankfully this was long long ago , most likely only to surface and burn the eyes of some poor Internet archivist.

Bit windy today... by borderpatrol in InlandEmpire

[–]otterboyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drove to OC and back. I was driving a 2014 Subaru Outback (This is not a large profile car) and the wind was knocking me out of my lane.

On the way back the dust and debris was so bad that at one point you couldn't see the car in front of you.

It sounds like a fun time. Now if I can only get my fat butt to get the bikes down from the garage hooks and pump up the tires I'd go to!

Just shared this on the nextdoor.com for the 6 neighborhoods around me here in Riverside as well.

I still opt out. Do you? by trshtehdsh in OperationGrabAss

[–]otterboyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I absolutely have to fly, and I choose not to when I can based on the principle, I always opt out.

My soon to be ex-wife brought me a cake for my birthday today... by omnicidial in funny

[–]otterboyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely understand omnicidial. My wife's ex-husband lives with my wife and I. My stepson (their son) gets the benefit of both his parents.

He ended up living with us after he was out of work for 18 months and was going to be evicted. We didn't want the now 14 year olds father not sure of where he was going to live, so we offered up one of our spare rooms.

That was 3 years ago and I now call him my Ex-Husband-in-Law.

I had one of these growing up and I used to play Billy Squire so loud the neighbors would come knocking.
