Re: 46,000 year old worm
It sure is! And their some other amazing things I've seen. A fly in a vacuum chamber was unharmed and flew off when the air was let back in. Another, a fly again, in a microwave oven for two minutes few away unharmed. That one really surprised me. My dad left a box of night-crawlers in the fridge, a...

Re: 46,000 year old worm
WOW, but I can believe it!
I've seen fish frozen in ice in the winter and they managed to survive come the spring thaw.
They usually swim down deep so they don't freeze, but sometimes they get caught in shallow pools around the edge of the pond.

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
You probably felt cold when you came back inside since your clothes were damp from the humidity. Inside my office, over the past 24 hours, my humidity high was 73 wet, low 62 normal range. Don't know outside. Doctors who do accept medicare, you get a quarterly statement showing how much medicare pai...

Re: Joke of the Day
Sometimes I do have trouble typing, but if I take a pause and regroup, I manage to do it. Shaking when trying to write is different than typing also. The hand tremors are always there now, but the big shaking not there all the time. Sudoku is actually very easy, unless you get into the really hard o...

Re: Joke of the Day
Well, I know one thing for sure, I'm going downhill a lot faster than I had hoped. Some things are driving me nuts trying to figure out. Even so, I still do a crossword or two, and sudoku or two every night after I'm in bed. Helps me to stay sharp, even if I shake so bad I can't read my own writing,...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
Whatever you get we get three days or less later. It is so hot here today, I'm having trouble breathing, but at least the humidity came down 2% is all. I'm having trouble keeping my heart rate down. I was late getting up here this morning because of that too. Along with this heat, I'm shaking like a...

Re: Excess Deaths
I pay for my drug plan, and for my supplemental insurance plan, and naturally Medicare takes out the cost of Medicare from my SS check before they send me any money. So we ARE funding the insurance programs ourselves already. I could start talking about my friend in the UK, who has found almost noth...

Re: Joke of the Day
They have me do all kinds of things on the annual, like draw a clock at the time they want it to show, memorize four items to tell them back near the end of the interview, as much as I shake now, my drawing of the clock is getting rather bazaar, hi hi. I guess I could get depressed as I get closer t...

Re: Joke of the Day
A couple of the jobs I had over the years were very stressful, one to the point I would get sick and have to run to the bathroom to throw up. I also had migraine headaches quite often back then too. So I know what stress feels like. And thankfully, I don't feel those kinds of feelings anymore. My do...

Re: Excess Deaths
I'm glad to hear they were able to nip your issue in the bud before it caused any major problems. I just got my 3-month listing of drugs my drug plan paid for, and which ones they didn't. Sad, only two of my drugs are partially covered, but none of the rest of them now. You go through there list to ...

Re: Excess Deaths
I guess I'll have to digress and stop complaining about lil ole me, when you have those kinds of life threatening issues.
My goal of making it to my office each day, is sorta like a child running to his mother for comfort.
So, instead of stress, I see it as getting to relief.

Re: Joke of the Day
When I had my heart doctors visit, I really expected him to give me a pill to slow my heart back down to normal. He basically said the same things as you did, except for stress. My lungs are not functioning properly of course, so the heart does speed up to get more O2 to the vital organs, and the re...

Re: Joke of the Day
There were a couple of kids parked on our street a few days ago, and they had the deep base cranked way up. A girl was in the passenger seat, and she opened the window for some reason and when she did, her hair just went all over the place like she was electrocuted, hi hi. I honestly do much better ...

Re: Excess Deaths
Wow, what you have seems to be more scary than what I have. I have these bright red splotches show up, sometimes with blood fluid under them in a small bubble. I've shown them to the doctor a few times, and he ruled out any type of psoriasis. I had small splotches which actually bled last year, whic...

Re: Excess Deaths
Due to my heart, my feet are always ice cold, most of the time so are my hands, perfusion index 0.2 or lower, unless I can warm them up enough to get it a little higher so the pulse oximeters will read right. All year round, I have an electric heating pad at the foot of the bed, draped over the edge...

Re: Joke of the Day
I've had tinnitus since I was in my 20s, a long way from old age. It has only gotten worse over the years. These kids with the billion watt base speakers in their cars are going to be sorry in a few years! If you can hear them shake your windows as mile away, you know inside that car all their cells...

Re: Joke of the Day
It could be, I never liked overly loud music. Albeit, I was near an explosion once that left me not hearing for nearly a day and a half. Also, back when we had little cap guns, my crazy brother took a sledge hammer and slammed an entire roll of caps. We were in the basement so it was loud, and I mea...

Re: Excess Deaths
Odd medical things in this world, that's for sure. Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you about compression socks. I wear mine during the day, but will often skip a day or two. Never wear them at night. How long and often do you wear yours? I like Google Chrome and don't see it using any more memory...

Re: Excess Deaths
Women don't have the same signs of a heart attack that men do, and it is possible she's had more than one and never knew it. My grandma on my mom's side is said to have had several small heart attacks as she got older, but none of them ever sent her to the hospital until she was up in her 90s. After...

Re: Joke of the Day
When I lived in Creve Coeur, it actually wasn't Creve Coeur yet, it was an unincorporated area within St. Louis County. We had Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, and Creve Coeur all trying to annex us every year. Which meant having to go vote NO three times each year. At our local twin-subdivision meet...
