RichGem: What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis? Dapper: Screwed. RichGem: There you go.
Several weeks ago, I bought a fitbit and started walking regularly. I'm down about 20 lbs. from where I was 3 months ago, and this weekend I got into my old 36 inch waist jeans! I'm still a lardbutt, but I'm less of a lardbutt than I was. Kinda stoked about that.
My daughter got diagnosed with epilepsy today. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I'm not surprised. My sister has been epileptic about as long as I've been diabetic (27 yrs), and I know a seizure when I see one. And a good percentage of people with cerebral palsy are epileptic.
JoAnna, we'll keep your daughter and your entire family in our prayers that she receives the proper care, advice and encouragement she and the family needs to cope with this chronic condition.
Thankfully, at least from what little I know, the drugs these days are pretty darn good at controlling epilepsy. Prayers nonetheless.
Nearly BBS. Unfortunately, some of the older ones were a bit 'rough' and were determined to go ATG… Fortunately, the music was a soothing balm that help calm the irritation...
Managed to repair a $65 pair of gaming headphones last night with a bit of cat-5 cable and some solder. I feel all hacker-y, and more than a little proud of myself for saving some cash. I only wish I had black cat-5 on hand instead of that garish yellow. Oh well, I guess it makes it look "custom." Also, I watched "Lone Survivor." Holy carp! is that movie intense! If it's even half-way true to what those guys went through, I can't imagine the collective testosterone/adrenaline that had to have been coursing through their veins. I am clearly not a man when compared to those guys. ooc, here I come!
My day is a lot better now. I just got off the phone with my wife. She is out of recovery and in her room. Boy does she sound like she is higher than a kite. Happy Happy. I asked her if she wanted me to come and see her, she said no bring me my clothes and take me home. I think she's loaded, she said the nurse told her to push this red button and she said she got a warm fuzzy feeling. I wonder how much Morphine they have her on?
Higher than a kite, you say? Sounds to me like it's time to buy some more shave stuff! Glad she's doing better. And fyi, the little red buttons are programmed to not give you too much (there's a time and dosage lockout on them).
