FWIW, Scottsdale AZ has a Museum of Musical Instruments that spans the globe and time for musical instruments. From rock to jazz, to primitive cultures, it has it all.
Has special exhibits from time to time, when I was there, it was rock guitars from classic groups--Beatles, Stones, Who, etc. Upstairs was Keith Moon's Pictures of Lily Drumset on permanent (I think) exhibition.

Posted by: fd ====== Check out the Weezer remake video of Africa (Toto song). Weird Al is lead singer and has his accordion strapped on at one point.

It finally thawed out here, and I had the day off, so I went hiking on a nearby hill. It was muddy as heck, but I managed to retain my shoes despite the ground's best efforts to pull them off. I got my second SOTA activation of the year - 13 contacts, including one with a guy in Japan. Came back and took care of a bunch of chores. Not a bad day, all in all.

Posted by: Ben Had ===== If I still have a right arm. Keeps getting worse and orthopedists, pt therapist, rheumatologists, and pain doc have different opinions. Two say it is back joint deterioration, rheumatologist says non radiographic anklylosing spondylitis, one says shoulder damage as I do have some tearing of the rotator cuff but neuralgia is not a typical symptom of it. Recent nerve block pain/steroid shot in shoulder worked about a day. Bunch of diagnoses but all that means is more money on tests and specialist visits. So I do the best I can while I can.

118 You do plasma, not blood. You can do plasma more often. When I lived and worked in Spokane, you'd usually see a few of your co-workers at the plasma center. The businesses paid crappy wages..
Posted by: Notsothoreau at February 20, 2025 08:25 PM (o5+a9) I typically do the "power red," which is opposite of plasma. They take the red cells and put the plasma back. I'm not sure if the plasma centers do this--I'll have to check. The reason I do this is that they use the red to make the Rh injections for women who have a baby with incompatible blood type.

Bonus points...the ADA el jeffe pissed of LTG Gainey by not personally inviting him. Even worse...i was told that I was the easiest WO any of them have ever worked with.

Posted by: Bulg ===== Aw shucks, as I said, mine is largely pain, stiffness, and limitations in what I can do: there are people here with much graver life threatening emergencies that need praying for. I need prayers for forgiveness more than anything. A person can learn to cope over the years. Widening doorways, levers on doors instead of knobs, ice packs, etc. using a jar opening device, and so on. Biggest annoyance is not able to go shooting between surgeries to free up nerve channels etc. All I can do is dry fire. With a bum right shoulder, I am tentatively trying dry firing rifles via my left shoulder. I shot pool with my left arm and can hammer, open a door with it, shoot handguns with it, etc. Just poorer coordination for fine motor skills like handwriting.

Basically std. testing for nerve damage does not work well if the baseline is already affected. They are basically poking me with a facet injection first which did nothing, now a shoulder one, which the nerve block portion lasted a day, the steroid part is doing nothing. There is also that damn vagus nerve system and deterorating upper thoracic disks aka herniated. May have to have those nerves ablated like in my lumbar (which is slowly becoming a problem again).

Posted by: Scarymary at February 20, 2025 08:41 PM (Q8SAm) It is a negative thing. If mama has negative blood, and has a baby with positive blood, one or both of them may need the injections. I had to have it during my first pregnancy. This is why they used to make people get a blood test before they married, because it can be deadly for mom and baby to have incompatible blood. But now they can make the Rh antibody from blood and counteract incompatibility. Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at February 20, 2025 08:57 PM (OX9vb) 216

This is why they used to make people get a blood test before they married, because it can be deadly for mom and baby to have incompatible blood. But now they can make the Rh antibody from blood and counteract incompatibility. Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at February I had to do this with my ex husband.

Any tips on what to do for my wife. She started antivirals today and today was her first day of symptoms.
I have soup, yogurt, electrolytes, etc. in stock along with milk, OJ, vitamin C with Zinc megadoses, etc. If I missed anything, let me know before I get down myself. I picked up a a/b flu test this evening at Walgreens and have a televisit with my GP tomorrow just in case I will need it. Starting to cough a bit but both fireplaces are going full tilt so it could be a whiff or two of woodsmoke plus low humidity. Posted by: whig at February 20, 2025 08:51 PM (ctrM5) Hydration / Pain Meds / I got a late start with the Ivermectin. Food may not be appealing in the least. Hot soups would be appropriate. It's more about handling the body ache ... it's exquisite in its penetrating depth and being non responsive to massage Best wishes to your bride, and fingers crossed that you don't run afoul of this.

Statement from Leland Dudek, SSA fraud investigator who knows runs the SSA. His bosses tried to fire him for cooperating with DOGE. They got fired when Trump found out (quickly), and Dudek is now acting head of SSA: "I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to DOGE. I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices." "I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done" Well done, Mr. Dudek.

That happened here with that snow we had a few weeks ago. That's a rare thing here to see. Dew point was very low with a little cover of snow on the ground. Sun came out, and all the ground snow just disappeared. No melting to liquid water at all. There was a little melting on the roof, dripping down the gutters, but very little.

Also, I'd recommend not overdoing it with the OJ as the high sugar content will negate any benefit of the vitamin C. Although, it sure tastes good. Especially with vodka. Mmmmmm....

Now that I've got this little weather station, I've been having fun. That snow event a few weeks ago. When it started, radar was painting blue all over here, but none was getting to the ground. Now, looking at the graph for temp and dew point, I could see what was happening. Temp drops, dew point rises. That's the snow falling into the dry surface layer of air. Heat of vaporization pulls heat out of air, temp drops, and dew point rises. And then, as the difference gets smaller, at some point the flakes start appearing, making it all the way down.

225 Have we bombed Gaza yet? Posted by: tcn in AK at February 20, 2025 08:59 PM (K2hug) Events today suddenly made that a whole lot more likely. The Bibas family outrage - the family was mudered, didn’t die in a bomb blast - and then the failed bus bomb attack is a sign that Hamas wants to go back to total war. Reminds of a line from Cool Hand Luke: “They wants it; they gets it.” ------ Bomb them again, and use MOABs this time. Cave in the tunnels and make the rubble bounce. "Old Uncle Sam is getting pretty hot. Time to turn the Gaza into a parking lot!"

Posted by: Scarymary at February 20, 2025 09:36 PM (Q8SAm) I’m not one of those smart guys but he had written something over a decade ago basically giving the opinion that it would be viable to control a nuclear Iran rather the actions to keep them non-nuclear. Cotton simply raised concerns about that position and was going to meet with him to discuss because that position is contrary to Trump’s. I think he has since advised he would support the position of his boss. Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at February 20, 2025 09:44 PM (VofaG) 341
