Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

When I was entering high school that was the time I had to decide what I might be doing with the rest of my entire life. The choice seemed overwhelming at the time, but in retrospect it was just one of many life changing decisions ahead of me. I had to think about going to college to get a degree or...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

The movers we used also stored our furniture for a couple weeks. We packed enough in the car to hold us over and stayed in a hotel a day or two until closing was complete. We bought a new mattress the day we arrived and they were nice enough to deliver it the next day; for a price of course. So we h...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

The movers that brought our stuff down here to Missouri charged us by the number and size of boxes. I think weight might have also been a factor, but I don't recall. Also not very clear eight years after the fact, I believe we had to agree to pay extra per box that exceeded the estimated limit. That...

Re: They can't put a good man down - but they had a damn good try!

True enough. Nobody makes it out of this place alive. I've done the Harry Houdini thing with a couple people now on the other side. Harry promised to communicate with his best friend from the other side just to verify that there is another side. Last I read his friend never heard back, and I too hav...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

It makes a lot of sense to use an Electronics Moving specialist when you are transporting sensitive computerized equipment. Personally I would never trust those guys. When we moved down here to Missouri the moving company told me that they could move all my computer equipment safely. They had insura...

I had to look up A Bientot. I'm not familiar with the German language, but as it turns out the phrase is a French term. :lol: I think COVID is now a permanent part of the earth's atmosphere. It seems to be be the kind of bug that quickly mutates into different variations, which means the immune syst...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

Well, you never know what the government might be hauling around, or have YOU haul for them. I would hope that if there is any danger of explosion or other toxic contamination, they would at least warn you of that danger. But, for all you know it could have been a truckload of gold being transported...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

Motorola was non-union for the same reasons your florists didn't go that route. Motorola paid union scale or better when you consider all the benefits that came with the job. They did try to establish a union a few times, but never were successful. The guys working for Motorola and who wanted a unio...

Re: Flight MH370

This is a story that seems to never end. A recently published research paper involving amateur radio technology has some very credible evidence which pinpoints the final resting place of this mysterious flight. Weak signal propagation reporter (WSPR) is something new to amateur radio, and I can say ...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

The concept of unionized labor always was foreign to me. Union shops did pretty well as far as pay and benefits go, but the work rules sucked. You could not help out a buddy, for example, if he wasn't in your union or at your grade level. The shops were ruled by a union overlord, who was no differen...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

I know about Hydrocodone. I had such pills after the hernia repair surgery a couple years ago. The pain was not sharp but it did make me very uncomfortable which is why I took the pills. Normally I try to tough it out. As I recall there was a limit to what I should take and the single dose did not l...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

Two good things came to my attention with your last post. The length and detail of it has returned to a somewhat normal level which suggests to me that your state of being has improved somewhat. The other good notation was your mention of all the attention you are receiving from hospice. It can be a...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

I'm convinced that relocating your office is the best logical solution. However, the best psychological solution is to stay right where you are in your custom made office. You know, I'm sure, that the body and mind work in unison so that if your psychological state is comfortable your physical state...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

Thank you for that lengthy and detailed description of how you get to your comfort zone. It was a bit more detail than I had expected, but it did give me some idea of what you do on your way to the office. To say it's an exceptional effort is an understatement. I doubt that many people in a similar ...

i must confess that it was surprising to see you post here twice in one day. It's not the first time you have done that, but it certainly has been a long time since it happened previously.

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

You are making me think hard about doctors and hospice. I know for sure mom saw her pulmonologist while she was in hospice care. She had a problem with fluid accumulating in her lungs and around her heart all of which got her admitted to a hospital prior to hospice care. The problem continued after ...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

The problem with computer operating systems is that they take some time to learn how to use them efficiently. That is true for any one of them. Most of the negative comments from you and many others arise when a switch is made from one OS to another. Doesn''t matter which way you are going because t...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now

I'd take a guess that a person's favorite cell phone OS depends on what they grew up with. It's much like the Windows/Linux users. If you switch to the other system after you spent years learning the first one, the second system just doesn't seem as good. Now, I know what you are going to say about ...
