Pretty sure that is a crime.Quote:

Seriously? Like where? I've never heard of that. Ever.Quote:

If you buy something at a sale price, you pay tax on the sale price.
If you buy something with the manufacturers rebate coupon, you pay tax on the rebate.

Better hope they don't start predicting criminals with AI and locking them up as kids. Or maybe better for you if they did.Quote:

She's made 3 boys her age cry already due to how incredibly vocal she is (she screeches at people). Bet it's not gonna get any easier :DQuote:

Latest example of puppy annoyance: she discovered the ground cloth that we laid out under the wood chips in various areas around the yard. She's dug out giant strips and entertains herself by shredding them to pieces which blow around in the wind. Looks super classy...
You're at the beginning of the ride. Enjoy your chaos monkey. Make sure she gets a balanced diet or all that cheese is gonna plug her up.Quote:

Sounds like my house. The previous owner went to town hanging shelves in the garage. Every one is crooked and fastened with mismatched screws. Also did a lot of really bad hardscaping work around the yard and house. The deck is pretty f'd too. A lot of the work he did is straight up comical, like on the deck where he put a hand railing on a hand railing. Keeps me busy.Quote:

Doc referred me for a 48 hr Holter monitor. Good thing it wasn't an emergency because they scheduled two and a half months out. So here I am. Wondering exactly what I need to write down. What the tech said to log and what the log book says to log are vastly different. I'll be damned if I'm gonna log each time I fart or scratch my nuts. I would need a while forest of paper for that.Quote:

BP was higher than usual as well.
What's probably more troubling is finding out about my early stage NAFLD with mild steatosis. I always knew it was a good thing I didn't drink a lot of alcohol. Now I know not to start.
Write down every time you feel your heart suddenly beating faster than it was for no reason. (Or significantly slower for that matter.) Note the rate and especially if it's regular or irregular and how long it lasts. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia and some other rhythms are very regular--the heart may be very fast but the interval between each beat is the same. Atrial fibrillation is what is described as irregularly irregular--some beats are fast, some slow and there's no pattern. Then there's rhythms where the rate varies but in a predictable pattern. Example is bigemminy--2 quick beats, then a pause. Then the pattern repeats. Trigemminy--3 beats, then a pause. Quadrigemminy--you probably get the idea. Note whether you feel any other symptoms--lightheaded, chest pain, shortness of breath. (If you see a long tunnel, then a light, then all your dead relatives, don't bother writing it down because you just died and it doesn't matter.)
The different rhythms matter--afib is worrisome because blood clots form in the quivering atrium and can break loose and cause strokes etc. PAT is usually (not always) harmless because the atrium is beating so no blood clots. There are dozens of other rhythms of varying degrees of significance. It takes an EKG to tell a lot of them apart but noting the things I mentioned above can give a pretty good clue.
I have no idea how reliable an apple watch is at telling rapid heart rates apart.
Foxtail/barbed grass seed season annoys me and my dogs.
Well, I think the collective would appreciate if you posted the details here.Quote:

I feel like that movie didn’t age well and it’s one I expected would.
That annoys me a little.
Huh I thought it held up really well -especially given it’s like what 25 years old? The acting, the plot, the music - I think it’s still all great IMHO
Agreed. Chance of inhaling one is a worry. When folks from the south come out to Oregon to train they are super paranoid, when my friends go to the south they are freaked out about Water Mocs. Interesting what we get used to.Quote:

I would watch it again, but couldn’t get my kids to watch it and I can’t say I know anybody who’s gone out of their way to watch it in the last decade or so. Longer probably.Quote:
