Hurlshort Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I've recently been getting stomach cramps from eating sandwiches, and I think it was from the mayo. I've switched to honey mustard and it has been better.

Oh. My. God. The plotlines and heroines were just.. No words abound. I wonder how feminism actually made it through that time period. 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

BruceVC Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I had a good and relaxing weekend, no unnecessary socialising or partying at all I worked last night and cooked lunch for some friends yesterday but apart from that I have been playing Dishonored 2 and catching up on watching some TV series I haven't watched on PVR "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Guard Dog Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I spent the whole day yesterday parked in front of my TV. Literally every waking moment. I watched sports all day. Tampa Bay Rays vs Oakland A's. USA vs Ireland in Rugby. That went about as well as you'd expect. We suck at rugby I'm sorry to say. After that is was Marlins vs Pirates and Redbirds vs Nashville. Today however, I'm going to be a bit more productive. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Of course, I had previously decided to just become left-handed (including totally re-learning how to use a mouse and keyboard) in order to not deal with it and attempt to let it heal itself over the past couple of years, but since it still hasn't, I guess I'm finally going to deal with my phobias of anesthetics, knives, and being cut open.

Hurlshort Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I spent all day yesterday moving stuff, pulled in a respectable 22000 steps. The biggest surprise was finding a flat of wedding presents at the back of the trailer we were clearing out. 14 years ago we received a full set of beautiful fine china, 24 wine glasses, and a few other nice pieces. Now when we got married, it was a 300-person wedding, so there was a ton of gifts, and over the years we had thought we had pulled everything out and made use of it. But the china and wine glasses were still hidden away, and it was a nice treat to open all the boxes up and put them on display for the first time. 4
Calax Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Am starting the process of moving myself back out to the midwest. Fed up with the management in this region, and if asked directly would basically point at the promotion that was offered, interviewed for, then heard ZERO about afterwords (and know that the position is still open). Even when directly asked, the management just ignored it. Thus I contacted my previous region's GM (who runs MN, IA, and NE) and asked if it'd be possible to swap back there. The next morning I got an email back saying yes, but you need to get your current managers approval to fill out the paperwork, and I've got three spots in Minneapolis you could work in. So... yeah, I'm doing all the notifications now, and if I have to I will strong arm my way back to that region. 1 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Azdeus Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 It was a bit windy at work yesterday, with some pretty strong gusts of wind. One of these gusts got hold of a big trailer door that I was opening and wrenched it out of my hands and hit me in the head, wich caused me to loose my balance and stumbled a few metres before I fell over. I overextended my thumb and I've got a pretty vicious headache, so I'm staying home from work today to let it clear. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

It's actually not carpal tunnel syndrome. From what I understood the doctor say, something in there is just bent out of shape, and it's causing a sort of chain reaction of pain between bones and nerves (...or at least, this is what I was told after I had xrays on it). They're actually going to put me under to fix it, which seems a little excessive, but I guess it's better than being awake through it... They said that a local anesthetic would be too risky because they apparently need it to be absolutely still. And yes, it really was totally pointless suffering, as it clearly did not heal itself. On the plus side, I'm that much closer to being ambidextrous after forcing myself to be left-dominant for the past few years...

teknoman2 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 sounds like it from the description.

Bartimaeus Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I actually looked up more about CTS last night after you mentioned it, and it actually did sound a bit like it. Maybe they just didn't tell me that was what it was. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Raithe Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Had one of those days where every 5 minute job spiralled out due to complications, the back room where we've been storing a lot of mom's stuff as we've been sorting it and getting rid has been discovered to be swarming with carpet moths, one of the Enchantica dragons I was given years ago got knocked off the side and shattered into half a dozen pieces, and I had to fill out and send off various application forms. Fun. Now I am debating whether to pick up the Cyberpunk 2020 set that Bundle of Holding are offering at the moment... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

LadyCrimson Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Today I came to the Obsidian forum. Also I'm about to head out to grab some late lunch because my stomach is rumbling. I lost 12 pounds 5-6 months ago and have kept it off, but my brain keeps wanting to eat so those last 8-10 pounds still hang around. Oh well, whatever. At least my middle (where all excess weight goes) no longer looks like a loosely packed sack of russet potatoes. Maybe a tightly packed bag of mini-red potatoes. Been pretty busy, out of town a lot, lots of time with the hubby (we read each others minds 90% of the time now, which is hilarious), the cat who never shuts up or leaves me alone for a second. Same ol' same ol', basically. 3 “Things are as they are.
