Looks like my chance of an all old time Big East National Title isn't going to happen. Still a second half to go. C'mon 'Cuse!!
Maybe you Maryland morons can clue be in on who this David Trone guy is. His commercials keep popping up on TV and they are causing me macro aggressions. They are the most God awful, manipulative, smug, piles of crap, I've ever seen. I want to jump through the screen and punch him in the face.

Thanks everyone. My mother is doing fine. Her surgeon decided to send
her to a rehab facility (nursing home) for a few days of physical
therapy, but I think she'll be back home. I think she could be home now,
but he wanted to make sure.
You know, nursing homes are
really depressing to me. Hospitals aren't so much, but nursing homes
are. They transported her there right after lunch, and when I went to
see her there, it really hit me. I saw her just sitting there, and it
was if there she was, my own mother, abandoned to her fate. I wanted to
just grab her and take her home as fast as I could, digging out with
wheels spinning and dust flying. I had to tell myself not to be silly,
it's just for a few days.
But boy, with my own mother like
that, and that depressing feeling I get in nursing homes, I had some
emotion wash over me fast and furious that I'd never really experienced
before.
It really surprised me.

When CIA leadership says tacitly that diversity and friendliness to TG agents is more important than traditional fieldcraft and humint(which has already been under attack for 41 years) we are simply not going to have espionage coups.
The Farm is on board with the House of Mirrors deciding it'd rather try to spy on all Americans and then try to play "Captain Wizard" on engaging in forensic datamining of the grabs.
They have thus far not stopped ANY major event beforehand using these new sniffing regimens.
CIA wants to be able to spy on YOU through your dishwasher thanks to "smart houses"...that actual cloak and dagger shit is boring AND the few times it is exciting can get you killed.

It's funny that the media acts shocked that the Military and Civilian Intel orgs BOTH seem to have doctored the reports to minimize ISIS' gains and growth....
How in the fu*k can anyone be shocked?
The entire management structure of the Intel community is predicated on keeping the Democrat Appartchniks in the civil service happy and by extension the Democrat leadership when elected to power....so if Ogabe wants ISIS to be Jay-Vee how in the f**k will they ever be anything else?
And if your SES-3 wants to play "fuck the Bush admin" then by God any data needed to crap on the Bush admin is fed to the media.
We are an odd combination of Mandarin China and Potemkin Russia these days.

They want you to tell them that everything is gonna be "A-Okay" on the Iran Nuclear Weapons Gift policy and you are a GS-9....

They can be good or bad. If your doing time for a short stint for rehab that's good. I've had many dealings with nursing homes and rarely have I seen insurance pay. Every one in there is paying out of pocket or on Medicaid. I have a hospice pt right now in there and wife is paying 5 grand a month out of pocket. On top of that she rented a assisted living apt next door for another 2. I think I will spend my money while I can/

stump, then spit in it some more until they filled it up, then covered
it and let it ferment.
And then drank it.

As it is with my mother, Medicare will cover up to 21 days of such rehab. After that, I don't know if her secondary will cover anything, but that long term insurance would kick it if need be.
That's something for everyone to think about. Although I imagine BarkyCare has screwed it all up somehow anyway.

For example, tiny rubber tank treads that can't do what I want, $10. Gigantic over-engineered monstrosities, $800. Inbetween.... umm, err... $200 used snowmobile treads that are 8 times too wide?
Having trouble finding small motors with all the relevant specs listed (especially torque).

They make 1/10 scale truck winches for RC cars, but, unlike RC gas motors, they are grossly underpowered.
I might be able to handmake one in the 100 lb range, but ultimately that's a clumsy way of doing what I need to do.

They make 1/10 scale truck winches for RC cars, but, unlike RC gas motors, they are grossly underpowered.
I might be able to handmake one in the 100 lb range, but ultimately that's a clumsy way of doing what I need to do.

Frankly, the Kroger's private label mayo is better even than the major national brands. Just the right amount of tangy-ness, where the Duke's was virtually dull, flat and without any spark to the flavor, whatsoever. Very smooth, creamy and spreadable, but it's to mayo, what bland, unseasoned and uninspiring "cafeteria food" in an old folks home is to Cajun cuisine.
Being a bit of a mayo addict, these subtleties matter to me.
Love a good BLT with just the right amount of mayo on the perfect, lightly toasted bread. We're talking condemned prisoner's last meal kind of good here, folks.

I can't resist.
From "Things I learn from my patients:"
"That
if you are a lieutenant colonel and you're going to shove your pager
(his military issued pager complete with the clip holder thing) up your
ass, and need to go to a hospital to have it removed, a few pointers:
a. Don't go to a military hospital
b. If you are going to go to a military hospital, remember not to go to the one on the base you work at.
c. The respiratory therapist (me) shouldn't be asking you for the pager
number, not even "because we have to have the number for the report."
d. Don't be surprised when the ER staff amuses themselves for several
hours while waiting on an OR to become available, by paging you
repeatedly and watching you jump."

We prefer Hellman's Mayonnaise at Casa H. We did the grocery shopping today and they didn't have the size jar of Hellman's that fights correctly in the refrigerator door. Mr. H said he would get Dukes instead, but I told him it's never a good idea to switch your condiments at our age, just buy the smaller size jar.

A. Dukes is less expensive.
B. The '1 Pint' Duke's is still 16 ozs., Hellman's is 15 oz.
C. 16 ounces of Duke's costs 90 cents less than 15 ounces of Hellman's
We can argue about flavor, but 'flavor' in the case of Hellman's is sugar, Duke's doesn't have it.

If it makes you feel any better, the D-Backs have lost AJ Pollock for the year with a torn elbow, the Dodgers are getting smacked hard by injuries, and the Padres suck but won't accept it just yet and go into a full rebuild.

The Kroger's private label mayo has a bit of citrus tangy-ness, but not too much. It's a crisp, sweet/sour taste of the lemon that's in a good mayonnaise.
And it's that bit of "zing" that's missing from the otherwise high-quality Duke's Mayo.
But, going to far down the "zing" path, is the perdition that is called "Miracle Whip", which aptly named, can only be enjoyed by a gastronomical masochist.

We're watching this CNN special on TV in the 70s, pretty interesting.
I remember watching Archie Bunker all the time. Once on the way back to college from taking my future wife to Chicago we had car trouble.
Walked across a field and the farmer's wife called someone for us. So we sat and waited w/ the farmer's wife and her granddaughter and watched Archie Bunker.
It was the episode where Edith's cousin revealed she was a lesbian. Very uncomfortable, fortunately the grandkid never asked what a lesbian was!

And so many had rarely been worn. I recall I had a period when I sought to enhance my appearance but because I'm so cold resistant and live in Southern CA, the number of days in any year where I can make use of a thick long sleeve shirt are very few. I admired my friend who were snappy dresser but they'd also be shivering if it got below 60F and act like they were in imminent danger.

As some of you might recall, I joined the ranks of the cyborg travesty of humanity about two years ago. So far so good, except for the one time one of the wires decided to detach.
But now it's pollen hell season here in Texas and like everyone this side of the bass and snappers I am coughing and sneezing like nobody's business.
Even with meds, the coughing got so bad that I've developed spasms in my diaphragm (the manly one under my ribs), and they have developed a new side effect: they knock my ass out. It's like turning off a switch. One or two good spasming coughs and I wake up face down on the keyboard or staring at the ceiling wondering how I got there. Last one scared the shit out of my wife: she says I just fell straight backwards with the my eyes wide open and lay there. I'm usually only out for a couple of seconds but come to thoroughly disoriented. I take my BP immediately after the events and it's usually up about 10-20 points.
I've run tests with the defrib and sent them to the monitoring company, but they haven't responded yet and didn't contact me after these started. Got calls in to my cardiologists but it's the weekend. Was wondering if this was something any of you were familiar with.

To what Molly addresses...in the last few yrs of my Mom's life my Dad spent every night in the rehab facilities she was in, sleeping in a chair in her room. He simply would not leave her.
Not everyone is capable of that, and he really shouldn't have as he had his own back issues but he just wouldn't leave her. Slept in a reclining chair for months so he could be nearby and make sure she was taken care of properly.
Which lead to some disputes, but they weren't going to mistreat/ignore her as long as he was alive.

5. Used his awesome powers of persuasion to bamboozle Steve Wynn into giving him a ride home in his solid gold 747
4. Dressed up in drag and showed some leg hitchhiking on Interstate 40; got Bubba to give him a ride home in his big rig in exchange for a few "favors" better left undetailed here
3. Kept playing nickel slots until he made himself enough money to buy a Lamborghini Countach to drive home in
2. Knit together a magic carpet from dozens of discarded beach towels left behind on the shores of the Colorado River

I've run tests with the defrib and sent them to the monitoring company, but they haven't responded yet and didn't contact me after these started. Got calls in to my cardiologists but it's the weekend. Was wondering if this was something any of you were familiar with.
Posted by: richard mcenroe at April 03, 2016 12:17 AM (Kucy5)
I don't think they see jack on those tests. They saw nothing after that lightning *right* outside my window damn near knocked me out of my chair.
Sneezing changes the rhythm of your heart, which may affect the device (but shouldn't), and that could knock you out.
It also constricts blood flow, which, if you're a bit marginal, could knock you out in a few seconds, especially if you have a sneezing fit.
I have an ICD and had a horrible sneezing fit today, but I didn't pass out. Damn thing itches and aches, though.
You definitely need to go in and get tested. Maybe they can hook you up and blow pepper at you.

A. Dukes is less expensive.
B. The '1 Pint' Duke's is still 16 ozs., Hellman's is 15 oz.
C. 16 ounces of Duke's costs 90 cents less than 15 ounces of Hellman's
We can argue about flavor, but 'flavor' in the case of Hellman's is sugar, Duke's doesn't have it.
To each his own.
Deborah says Duke's tastes like the local mayo she used to buy when deployed to Germany. She makes me buy it exclusively now.

Harrah's is still my fave, Aquarius is overall good, the River Lodge has fantastic rooms and is the nearest to brand-new but stuck with a dinky casino.
Then there's Colorado Belle. Not saying it was horrible, it wasn't, but it wouldn't surprise me if a sequel to The Shining gets made there someday.

I'd be reluctant to even broach the subject with a woman of the female persuasion.
The storage locker is shared with my mother and getting her to winnow down stuff has been torturous. So much of what I've had to pressure her about is not even her stuff. It's other people's stuff she somehow took possession of when they died or somebody tried to throw something out without driving to a dumpster ten miles away from the house.
I used to get tons of weird promotional items from tech and gaming companies who had me on their mailing list. I've lost count of the number of time I've come across one of these items years after I thought I'd thrown it away. Among the stuff I came across today was yet another collection of shoulder bags from shows like E3 and CES. Whenever a company like Nintendo had a press event to tout the latest product lineup the press lit materials would usually come in one of these nice bags with the company logo and perhaps some other goodies. It was great at the time but after a few years I had a lifetime supply of these things. Probably five for each one that got a lot of use and wore out. If I had need of such a bag on a daily basis it would be fine. I'd probably use up the lot within a decade, assuming I didn't continue to receive more of them.
But that isn't likely. Instead they're bulky items taking up room in a rented storage space. Whatever portion of the cost that can be attributed to them has long since negated the free aspect of them. They really have to go but I'll probably have to do it in secret because my mother is convinced somebody is going to pay me more than my time is worth to put them on Ebay.
I understand the hoarding problem because I have it too. But it is so much worse in her.

You'd think at some point, people would figure out that the more you charge, the less business you get. I eat fast food maybe twice a month now because it's a ten dollar trip regardless of where you go. Better to just bring my lunch to work.
I used to think beef prices were driving this but it's been this way for two years now. I think they raised prices because stock prices are more important. McDonald's is going to go under from from it. More will follow.

I'm 60. I'd guess you in your 40's, am I correct?

When I retired from the Navy I decided that I was never going to run another step unless something really bad was happening. So if you ever see me running, shoot whatever is behind me, if I don't stop...try to keep up. Keeping in mind it probably has 15 or so .45 caliber holes in it already.

He started a company called Total Wine and Beverage and made a fortune off the wages of sin. Now he feels he can confiscate your guns for the betterment of mankind.
Doubtless he'll get elected because, Maryland.

Ah, thank you (if your still up). He's been clogging up the airwaves with truly awful commercials. I like Total Wine but I don't go there much. I can easily not go at all. He's an awful person. You can tell by the commercials. The more self righteous they are, the more a monster the politician is.

They remind me just a little of the grown-ups hamburgers we used to have just everywhere before the toy imitation kid-burgers came in. Lunch for 2, $23.
And that was all right, except driving home, we see that the classic country drive-in must have just opened up today (in the snow). The service is slow, and they make you enjoy it. Could have gone there and liked it better for half as much. The prettiest girls in this little town work there; it's been that way for 50 years.

That is the thing about getting on in years, the list of things you either don't care to do or no longer CAN do starts to grow.
For me, things that I suppose I COULD do, once upon a time (but no longer care to do them) is getting pretty long.
Here is a sample of things that I used to do that now, f. it.
a) Move a piano. Must have moved about 20 back in the day. All kinds. Today, no way
b) Install a garbage disposal or a garage door or a hot water heater or hang a main door. Had my fill of those too.
c) Drive for 10 or 12 hours straight. Now I am good for about 6, maybe 8, tops.
d) Drink for days on end. Now, I can't take the punishment. Plus it's good to wake up in the morning and not have to pull a spike out of my head.

Hillary won the most delegates to the county conventions on a non-binding vote at the caucuses. The delegates were chosen by those who openly voted for one candidate or the other in porportion to the vote in each precint... NOT by who actually supports who in the long run.
At the county conventions of Washoe (Reno area) and Clarck (Vegas area), Bernie won the county level non-binding vote and again sends delegates chosen by those who openly voted for one candidate or the other in porportion to the vote in each precint... NOT by who actually supports who in the long run.
The rural counties all hate Democrats and don't mean jack in the Dem race.

The Fed is into "throwing the kitchen sink at the wall to see what sticks" mode to introduce mild, controlled inflation into the economy in order to fund government deficit spending and interest.....but pushing the "minimum wage" button is likely to be a catastrophic failure.
Although it has translated directly into inflation in the past, it will likely ramp offshoring and automation today, because the infrastructure and technology readily exists to do so. Furthermore, those displaced have few options for new jobs.

Once I grokked "pink slime", I turned off most fast-food burgers or supermarket ground beef -- not because I objected to the concept, but because it didn't seem likely to exclude or adequately sterilize vCJD material. The relevant prions weren't inactivated at normal cooking temperatures.
I suspect that we'll have an "echo-bump" of vCJD a couple of decades after the USDA approved it for human consumption in 2001.

i can still do pretty much everything I used to do. The difference, now, is that it takes me 4 times as long to recover .... and I most certainly have to stretch before I do anything. When I was young I never stretched. In swimming, I used to prefer to race totally cold. Nowadays ... that's not even an option.
This is where the steroids would come into play. The cheating pros proved that steroids are excellent at bringing old man recovery times back down to those of a 20-something. Frankly, the senior citizen sports pros are the best advertisement for steroids and other cheating drugs that many in the regular population could get some decent use out of. They should just stop with the hypocritical self-righteous smugness in the pro sports leagues and get on the train to demonstrate the effectiveness and use of various drugs to help old guys be young, again. After all, the search for the fountain of youth is one of the greatest pursuits man has ever sought after, and they do have some very effective stuff out there.

So it shall be.

So it won't be too bad. The dismaying part is how many of them are still in the factory shrink wrap and were never opened. These tend to have Circuit City price tags, so they were probably acquired when CC was going under but circumstances prevented me from ever giving them any time. Ah well, likely far from the worse bargain failure I've had. OTOH, if I had the right finances I'd keep them forever, along with every book I've had and had to give up.

Yes, really... "
Good song but every time I see her I wonder where that 1000 yard stare comes from.

Random Thought. If you want someone to accept your imperfections. You have to accept theirs.
Second Random thought , I am having trouble putting into words. I wish I had my old brain back.
The one I have after my last stroke doesn't work too good.

The ones I can remember:
2001: A Space Odyssey (my older brother recently insisted that I was the only one in the family who understood it, which is baffling to me as I know I slept through much of it)
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I think this was for my birthday but the blueberry girl terrified me and I think I cried, IIRC.)
For Pete's Sake (Another one with a lot of material that went over my very young head.)
Later, as a teenager:
Yellowbeard
The Perils of Gwendolyn in the Land of the Yik Yak (hey, it had Tawny Kitaen in a wet to transparency dress)
And the last one I can recall was Jake Speed, which wanted to be a semi-satire of action hero movies but was seen but scarcely anyone. I don't even remember it turning up on cable. Ever. How I remembered the title suggest I badly misallocate neurons.
