SSgt Baloo Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: The cranky thread I don't like to complain. I really don't. I prefer to be zen and just let life bebop along. However life has been most unkind to me lately. To whit, last friday (the 8th) was my birthday. In the span of time from then to now, I have: Been diagnosed with an Umbilical hernia Burned the bottoms of both feet (blisters are slowly recovering) gotten an eviction notice (Newly moved into a place, this was the first month they took rent out, it turned out to be a computer glitch) Slowly drowning in debt with GenCon still looming And the capper of it all is... tomorrow morning is my divorce trial date. I don't normally drink, but in the past week I've drained a bottle of rum and a bottle of whiskey..... Having gone through and not-quite-exited my own wringer of similar events, you have my deepest sympathy. If things get bad, remember you have friends who are praying (or similar) on your behalf. That and (VOE), if you find yourself mentally asking if you need professional help, you probably do. Treatment helps, and sometimes they can recommend services that can help you reduce some of your expenses. PM me if you want commiseration.

Drhoz Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Developments in Mum's hit-and-run case : A woman has come forward claiming responsibility. She *says* she thought she'd hit a speed bump or curb. It's only total co-incidence that she went to have her car crushed the very next day. She further claims that it was her boyfriend - the one the police are after for parole violation and giving a false address - who suggested getting the car crushed, but she doesn't know where he is, since they broke up. She's pleading not guilty. I don't think that's going to work, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you might want to check with a doctor -- there are lots of things besides arthritis that might cause knee stiffness/pain, and fortunately some of them aren't as bad as arthritis.

They hurt especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. I get Restless Leg Syndrome where my ankle doesn't hurt, it itches inside and I have to keep moving it and therefore can't sleep. I was on a med to stop it but it was a Narcotic and it made my eyes look tired and drugged. I am now taking a similar med which leaves my eyes clear but does not stop RLS. Between the two things I'm not sure which is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're right but with my cough it's like I'm 85 years old with all the Doctors I'm seeing.[/quote'] Well, I'd normally just say keep the brace on and load up on Alleve (5 or 6 a day) like I do, and see what happens... but I know from your posts here you're on a few other meds already, and unexpected interactions can be dangerous, so I'm reluctant to give off-hand advice. Asking a doctor who's got your medical history and knows what he's doing is probably the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here, "bad power" isn't a computer issue, it's a fact of life. The infrastructure stinks. I mean, a lightning bug farts in the general direction of a transformer and half the grid goes down.
