I was assuming your cholesterol would be high just judging by posts you make.

Oooh, results from your physical?

Hey I was cleaning the BBQ this past weekend because I hadn't used it for years. I cut my thumb with the wire brush and immediately thought of you and the tetanus shot :rofl:

Brush and BBQ was filthy. I'm not sure what all of the crap was I cleaned out of it as I'm the only one who's used it :-k

Now you need a tetanus shot :shock:

Yeah, it was a bit high when he took it at the visit last week. Not horribly high, but high enough to be concerning. He's going to re-evaluate in 3 to 6 months and maybe then prescribe something if it's still high.

I looked up the symptoms...:lol:

Some advice - A doctor royally pissed my Dad off once. So my Dad put himself on a no sugar diet. He had high blood pressure, fast heartbeat and high cholesterol for most of his adult life. It runs in our family I guess.

After three months he lost 29 pounds, his blood pressure and cholesterol dropped without medication :thumbsup:

What he did was drastic, but it can work. He also limited fats etc but for the most part it was just substituting things like sugar free cookies and ice cream.

[Hal-9000]

Haven't had a blood test yet.

Because of 18 years of dental/jaw pain, my diet is horrible.

My sister and brother both take medication for high cholesterol. Apparently mine was fine this year :dance:

Not trying to make a joke here. For DGX's situation wouldn't it make sense to have an inflatable raft? If the water level climbs during a storm I couldn't imagine how serious flooding would affect him.

I guess with hurricanes it's flying debris, water and electricity outages that are the main worries :-k

Person would need a few gallons of water and some easy to eat food.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

A raft might be a good idea if you are near enough to the coast where major flooding could be an issue.

[Hal-9000]

Georgia has a major SE coast right above Flow-rida :-k

I saw a news piece last night that said some people who live in New Orleans/Florida don't prepare for storms. They don't even have storm shutters and the windows are the first thing to go.

I've considered on multiple occasions moving to northwest Georgia. I prefer mountains to the coast anyway. It's just not feasible right now.

Generally speaking, if you look at the east coast of the US and go all the way down an east coast map and find the part of the coast line that's furthest in compared to the rest of the coast line, that's where I'm at. That offers us some protection from hurricanes as they generally don't come straight in at our latitude. Because of weather systems, storms usually move up the coastline in my general area in a curved fashion. In addition to our position on the coast line, we have barrier islands that protect the coast too. Subsequently, we usually only get glancing blows from outer wind bands of the storms. If we see any eyewall action, the storm has to travel over land to get to us, and that weakens storms significantly. In short, my location is usually really fucking lucky every year. The Carolinas and Florida always get torn up and we rarely see damage.

Where I'm at, I don't worry much about flooding. I'm a bit inland and I'm on higher ground comparatively speaking when considering the rest of the county. I suppose it could happen if it rained torrentially for several days, but it barely ever rains that much. I mean it would have to be like The Great Flood. Granted, I am in the southeastern most county in Georgia, but the barrier islands usually bare the brunt of any coastal flooding.

Pine trees are a consideration because they're shallow rooted. High winds can blow them over into a house really easily. Oak trees are deeper and stronger so they're better to have around than the pines. As long as there's nothing left out on people's lawns, then the only debris I'd be concerned about is that coming from foliage and that type of stuff. Houses are generally built to withstand hurricanes up to Category 3 so the only major damage I'd be concerned about is roofing tiles being blown off the house. I've never heard of anyone's windows being blown out. Home builders take their construction seriously down here.

Electricity and water would be a consideration. It seems like the water company's a joke around here. The water cuts off for an hour for no reason, and then we have a boil warning for 3 days after. It was better before I moved and was on a well. I could always just stock up on water throughout the year to be prepared for hurricane season. Electricity will go out too, but I could cook on a charcoal grill if it came to that. What I really need is one of those whole house generators that kick on when the power goes out, if I really wanted to mitigate that issue. But those are kind of ridiculously expensive.

[Hal-9000]

Weird about the windows. News report said those were the first to go usually.

I saw something that said there was a city in Florida that rarely gets hit by hurricanes. I think it may have been Orlando :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

Orlando's in the dead center of the peninsula of Florida. Hurricanes have to travel over land to get to it. It'll get hit, but generally it won't suffer as much damage as the coastal towns do. Most hurricanes will span Florida, except for the panhandle. So when we're talking Florida hits, either it's hitting the main peninsula or it's hitting the panhandle. A hurricane will generally hit one or the other, but not both.

Maybe a dude decided to go streaking in the packed store. Maybe some moron brought a cougar to the party and it went berserk. It could be anything.

Cortizone into the shoulder muscle, it lasts weeks. Should be enough to get me through Ragweed season. (severely allergic)

I really can't commit to the seasonal shots because I would need three shots every week for two years then three shots every two weeks for the rest of my life. The rest of the year I tolerate allergens ok with no meds or the occasional nasal spray or pill off the shelf.

Okay, the guy killed behind the apartment was apparently the only shooter. As of now, 21 victims, including 5 dead. Apparently this started at a traffic stop, where first officer was shot. Then the perp went on a rampage for unknown reasons. White Male, mid 30s. I'm sure you'll all see it on your local nightly/evening news, since so the perp was white.

Depending on your symptoms Benedryl works ok for a quick relief but makes me loopy, Zyrtec works well as a once a day solution with near zero groggyness (for me at least) Nasocort or flonase nasal spray works a bit for mild symptoms in sinuses.

Typically after cutting grass/spending the day outside I'll shower or at least wash my face/eyes out and blow my nose, Even on cool nights I keep windows closed and ac on. I sleep better with a fan on in the room but it really hits my sinuses bad the next morning.

If you're suffering in the morning you're either allergic to house dust/dustmites/dander or you're just delayed reacting to stuff you picked up the day before. Try rinsing off in the shower before bed and wash the bedding more frequently & get a new pillow with a hypoallergenic cover.

I was gonna say it's right next to the socks and 10mm sockets.

Good news is I finally got the liquid cooler installed, and everything cleaned out, and it's got the cpu temps down to 40°C, which is better than it was before. I guess it'll drop down further after some burn in. I might add an extra 120 mm fan in the case just for the hell of it.

Bad news is the forecast for the hurricane keeps getting worse for my area. It's like fucking Matthew all over again.

I'm gonna shut this down and let it cool off for a bit. I'll be on the laptop in a few.

Thanks. I find the chemical approach very effective, but only for acute. But good for those days when it's really unbearable ( which seems to coincide with wind, humidity and other factors - don't have an exact understanding yet).

[DemonGeminiX]

If you're dealing with headaches due to sinus congestion, I find that when I eat hot sauce, it usually dislodges all the gunk caught up in my sinuses. That's my go to for that sort of thing. Pick up a bottle of Tabasco or another hot sauce. It doesn't take a lot, maybe a quarter of a teaspoon or slightly less. Put it on your tongue and hold it there for a few minutes. You'll know it's working when you can feel your sinuses start to drain and the headache dissipates.

[Godfather]

The videos out of the Bahamas are fucked. Dorian just sat right on top of them overnight moving slow. I hope things take a turn for the better for when this thing hits the US.

[DemonGeminiX]

It's still on top of the Bahamas. It's moving 1 mph west. It's weakened slightly, but nothing significant. When you get wind speeds above 150 mph, categorizations don't really matter. My neighbors are all gonna ride it out. Nobody's leaving. I'm playing with the idea of sticking around myself.

[Pony]

Yea, I saw it's kinda parked there on top of the Bahamas. Real bad for them but possibly good for you if it continues to weaken before it starts heading up the coast.

That's one thing I will say about Vermont (at least when I lived there), they knew how to take care of the roads in the winter.

Why is everything two steps forward and three steps backwards?

It could be worse. It could be 1 step forward and 5 steps back off of a cliff to a horrible death. :idk:


I'm home, btw.

And not even a twig. Some leaves and some pine needles, and that's it.

I could very easily avoid all of this just by moving away from the coast.

When you take the back roads, the scenic route away from the Interstate (which is longer but a helluva lot less boring, btw), you see peach, peanut, and onion stands all over the place. And cotton farms. And cow farms. With a lot of brown cows. No chocolate milk signs anywhere to be found though, so I think those farmers are hording all the chocolate milk they get from those cows.

You should see some of the houses though. They've got huge estates with dirt road driveways... houses that if they were built in suburbia they would probably cost $650,000+, but in the back country, probably only cost them $50,000. Probably been passed down from generation to generation over the years. And a bunch of them have huge land with lakes and full forests surrounding them...

Never heard of it. I think the most that's on tv down here now is Battlebots.

Factorio is pc game on Steam. It's like a basic gathering resource game where you mine iron and copper ore. Then you refine them into plates, then you use plates to build C&C-like structures that open technology trees.

Right now I'm using conveyor belts but through the tech advancements you can built programmable circuits into robots and other machines.

The main premise in that you're on a planet looking for resources to build a rocket ship and leave the planet. There are alien attacks, day and night cycles but I turn those off.

I've probably put in 20 hours and am just at the stage where I can build railroad tracks and coal burning trains that haul shit.

It's really an amazing piece of software in terms of depth. I estimate I'm at the 7% complete level :lol:

Oh my God, did they ever! Fogo de Chao, the Brazilian Steakhouse. Holy shit, was it good! I did the full churrasco experience. If you haven't tried it you should.


Like....what was restricted or required?

They asked for business casual, and I hate going any further than jeans and a t-shirt for anything. I'm just that laid back in my choice of clothing styles. So I get there, and apparently the "requirement" was more like a suggestion, or probably more like wishful thinking on their part, cause every other diner looked like beach bums, hardcore sports fans, and a few that looked like they were in a biker gang. So not only did I dress up according to the "requirement", which I despise, but I felt a tad bit overdressed when I got there.

I guess it made sense for the beach bummy people, since it was already up into the low 90s and forecast to get up to 98° outside. I was actually happy I had the lightweight summer business casual attire on by the time I got home.

'Seeing this image today – the kids that see this image the people who see this image – are going to think about all the times in their life that they were made fun of, that they were hurt…that they were insulted, that they were made to feel less, because of who they are,' said Singh, the first non-white leader of a major federal party.

'Please reach out to loved ones. Please reach out to people who are suffering in silence right now. Please let them know they are loved. And they are celebrated for who they are.'

Trudeau has already said he's begging forgiveness from his supporters so to answer I'd say - If it doesn't kill his career it's going to at least lose him the election.

He did the Day-O thing too in high school (wearing an afro wig) so now it's all coming out :facepalm:

Yeah, the Day-O thing is in the thread I started :lol:

Yeah, for Singh, the fact that Trudeau is wearing a turban in one of the photos is like a gift from god right to him. I'm sure he's going to ride this horse right up to election day. I'm telling you, the people that feel guilty for being white are going to dump Trudeau and climb aboard Singh's wagon. :lol:

The interview on his plane is embarrassing. No kidding man it's 20 minutes of him repeatedly apologizing when facing the same question in different forms..over and over. He evens sounds frustrated at times - "I didn't know it was a bad thing to do at the time, I do now". "I didn't think it was harmful".

Exactly the wrong things to say in our country :lol:

Singh is no fool. Listen to him milk this and it's only the first shot...

Hey Hal, in case you missed it, there's gonna be a BSG reboot/sequel/new series existing within the reimagined Moore storyline.

The mayor of Denver is holding a presser righgt now about how he wants to raise the city of Denver's minimum wage to $15/hour (the state already has a minimum wage index IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION NOW that makes it significantly higher than the Federal minimum - state of Colorado is $11.10/hour right now). I guess all the businesses in cities that have already tried this complaining about how they are either having to lay off workers or completely close down isn't proof enough for this ass clown. :facepalm:
