Re: Musings on Random Musings

Brrrr Damn it's cold tonight. We might get ice, but it already got people to cancel a meeting tomorrow, so it will probably wait a bit.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Several milestones in post counts today.

Re: The cranky thread Ah yes, from the book of Von D-Man.

Re: The cranky thread Good luck with that.

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Re: The cranky thread So I burned myself a couple days ago being clumsy with the oven. That wasn't too bad. Today as I'm toweling myself off I went right over the burn area and peeled the skin off. owie! A hour later, it's still sending signals.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Whoops.

Re: The cranky thread Hmm, that's putting my crankiness at Comcast in perspective.

Re: The cranky thread The screendoor came off it's hinge. Why? Because the wood is not in good shape in the door or frame. Gah. Just what I needed to learn how to do or spend money we don't have. grumble.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings More paperclips & gum needed.

Re: Musings on Random Musings The freaky part was "This is so and so from the FBI calling for Mark Morgan" I did have the thought "How do I know you're from the FBI?", but since he never asked anything that I found dodgy I didn't worry too much. Hmm, now that I can't find that Net Central board, maybe I shouldn't of given him your name?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Ok. That was wierd. Just got off the phone with the FBI. Apparently someone with my name@yahoo.com is also a moderator for a board that had some rather inflammatory comments on it. At least they called instead of visiting.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I suspect that Court Fool has more Neg Rep than everyone else added up.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Congrats!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I thought I had gotten rid of that bitterness, but it's still there. Stuff keeps coming up and reminding me especially at this time of the year.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Hmm. This comic just needs to be linked to. http://www.punksandnerds.com/d/0017.html This one should be work safe, but if you go through the archives, there are some I wouldn't recommend for work view.

Re: Musings on Random Musings That would really be a question for Ben & Steve. I'd frown on it, but it's not my board. I actually sold all my cards Thursday Night. I had ~10,000 cards and dumped them for $1500. These were Antiquities - ~5th edition. The Moxies & Lotus had already been sold sometime ago (full set for $800). When I looked over on Blackborder.com the prices made it look like I got a good deal and the guy that bought them should be able to make money off them all. The nice thing was that I had a printout of all my cards seperated by set & edition from when I was into playing. And doing a check for the valuable cards showed they were all there which was cool. I found my buyer thru a nickel ad paper.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I grew up with visual site of SF Bay and if I walked up to the top of the driveway, I'd see the Pacific. And Jenn grew up 3 blocks from the beach... Hot Dry is preferable to Humid Hot.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I'll look, but we're intending on keeping the place here. Jenn would stay in Portland while I would rent a room or studio if it's outside commute distance. We've done it before, it's just not ideal. (Though Spokane is even further from the ocean. I still have that dependance... ) Though if I recall, one of the Kenpo studios is in the Spokane area.

Re: Musings on Random Musings My insurance at the time covered it. Something I found out later was that surgery isn't always effective. I think they're pretty good at not doing it then. And weight is a big factor in the problem. I had wound up gaining weight just before hand as well which made the problem worse, etc... Pap (?) machines are prescribed often if they don't think surgery is the viable option. My process for getting the surgery: 1) Bouncing between doctors for several years who didn't have time to realize my constantly being tired and worsening immune was that I wasn't sleeping well. (The company I was at bounced thru six plans in one year during this time and most of this I had to switch doctors. ) 2) Started living with my wife. She noticed my snoring getting worse and my sleep pattern. 3) Switched to a better job, better health plan, same doctor. 4) My wife started pushing for this to be looked into and came with me to the doctor (a GP) and described my sleeping behavior. 5) My doctor has me see a specialist. 6) My doctor prescribed a sleep study. This consisted of one night being wired up with monitors all over the place on me and one of those finger thingies that can tell how much oxygen is in your blood. 7) Turned that in the next day. Less than a week later, the specialist says he'd like to schedule surgery 8) Surgery happens about one month before our honeymoon. They take my uvela, shave the palette, and take out my tonsils. I lose 30 lbs just becuase it's incredibly painful to eat. (Jello, canned peaches, soup) for two weeks. I also get six packs of vicodin liquid. 9) I get to learn how to drink again. Having a more wide open area back there means I sometimes would have stuff come out my nose if I gulp the wrong way. Between steps 4 & 8, a coworker in another office woke up with her husband dead beside her. Apnea.
