So, it wasn't yours then :p:

Plankton 12-13-2021 08:35 AM

Ooof.

It was real windy out here in the Windy City on Saturday and when I opened the door to my truck to head into Menards the dam thing almost took my arm off. I saved my arm from being pulled off by haphazardly trying to keep the door from blowing off it's hinges using only my middle and ring fingers of my left hand. They didn't fare too well and I'm now unable to make a fist as I had pulled the tendons attaching two digits to it's counterpart, which would be the rest of my hand, way out of their proper aligned seating within. Not sure when I'll be able to play guitar again, let alone open a door using that hand. Ouch.

You should be able to recover from that.

The Batlord 12-13-2021 12:41 PM

Rub some dirt on it.

Trollheart 12-13-2021 01:24 PM

DianneW 12-13-2021 02:21 PM

I just made a fist and yelled at a cloud, so I think I'm good.

Oleg Vostyakov 12-13-2021 11:42 PM

Well, I woke up, had coffee with cognac in the morning, had a walk, then I jammed with my friends (some covers of Oasis) and after lunch some "high" energy:pimp:

Mucha na Dziko 12-14-2021 02:24 AM

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

And now it’s 10am and I’m at work

Trollheart 12-14-2021 05:12 AM

You have a hat?

Actually, I don't don't

I don't usually wear a hat because my headphones are way to big, for it to be comfortable (then again, they're so bigyucould consider my headphones a hat)


When it's warmer I do wear a cap though

That seems to be the case, but I've never been to Detroit:

Quote:

I’ve been to both sides of the falls and the Canadian side is so far superior that it’s not even funny. Firstly, you DO NOT have to pay to get an excellent view of the of all 3 falls. Secondly, you cannot get a good view of the mammoth horseshoe falls from the American side, moreover, you actually get a much better view of Bridal Veil Falls as well as American Falls from the Canadian side but it’s really all about Horseshoe falls which dwarfs the other two combined. Finally I would add that the New York side is unfortunately a crime-ridden dump and looks like a slum, whereas the Canadian town of Niagara has no crime to speak of and is beautiful and clean. This article in my opinion is misleading with a heavy bias for the US side. Use Google image and google maps, Take a look on google maps, it’s not even close, the Canadian side is very busy for good reason.

Plankton 12-15-2021 09:35 AM

Kinda neat you can take a virtual tour through Google Maps:

Being late for work rules cause you're no longer on a schedule.

I make my own schedule, but I make it a point to be in when I'm needed as I'm a manager. The next in line owner really pisses me off being late, and leaving early all the time, especially since he needs to be involved in everything. I was sitting around at work waiting for champagne corks so I could finish making and bottling wassail because he insists on having it delivered to his house, forgetting, and making me wait for 4 ****ing hours so he could do whatever the **** he's doing and get them. I just want to do my goddamn job, man.

There's your ****ing problem right there. You should just want to collect a check and go home.

rubber soul 12-22-2021 05:18 AM

Not a good day yesterday. My pulse was about 40 and I ended up in the ER. They sent me home and lightened my Metoprolol to see if that does the trick and sent me home. Still feel a bit weak. Guess we'll see if it works in a few days.

Sorry to hear that, rubber soul, I hope the revised dosage does the trick. . A friend of mine also has a heart rate prone to acceleration; a very worrying condition to live with. :(

Try to take it easy and stay safe.

Marie Monday 12-22-2021 07:39 AM

I hope you'll feel better. Keep us updated and stay safe

rubber soul 12-22-2021 07:50 AM

Thanks, guys. I feel okay when I'm rested.

Lisnaholic 12-22-2021 07:59 AM

That's good, rs.
My tip: stay clear of the political threads here. Go check out the Ambient Recommendations thread instead ;)

Trollheart 12-22-2021 08:57 AM

yeah, listen to some Beatles and relax man. Hope you feel better soon.

Are you a Witcher who hadn't come out of the closet yet?

rubber soul 12-22-2021 11:59 AM

Well, my pulse is about 48 now so maybe I'm getting promoted (or demoted; I don't know how witchcraft works) :laughing:

his heart is decelerating though
The standard is 60-100 (bpm)

Witcher's have 1/4 of the standard pulse

So, I'm guessing you're getting back to normal (demoted)?

rubber soul 12-22-2021 12:12 PM

Yeah, but I'm taking Metoprolol so my heart doesn't accelerate. They're thinking I'm taking too much of it at this point, thus the Bradycardia. I'm also on lots of Potassium so that could also be a factor. Anyway, I'm fine when I'm not doing anything. It's when I exert myself when I really feel it.

I hope so Mucha, yesterday wasn't much fun, that's for sure.

Mucha na Dziko 12-22-2021 12:53 PM

It's weird living in a flat.

I lived in one all my life
But now I live on my own

And suddenly I listen much more to the "neighbours"
And the"neightbourhood noise"
And I tend to experience more, of what you could call: the feeling of "this neighbourhood is my home"

The flat solidarity or whatever

I mean, there's some serious argument going on upstairs.
I can hear through the walls that there's a couple upstairs having a fight.

A serious fight.

And, like, she's screaming and he's shouting
And I'm pretty sure he is banging his fists around the walls.
Like in a state of uncontrolled-helplessness.

It's 9pm btw

And I don't know what to do
Should I knock on their doors?
Should I call the cops?

It's coming from the same apartment that was playing techno music for 48h (Sunday/monday [at 5:00,Tuesday, I started stabbing the ceiling with a broom]) strait.

She's freaking throwing chairs around


We're at downtown capital city ffs

I thought this kind of thing only happened at the suburbs type of habitat

Plankton 12-22-2021 01:32 PM

Dam, hope you get sorted RS. Thats gotta be a little scary to say the least.

rubber soul 12-22-2021 01:41 PM

It was at first, but not quite as scary as my embolism eight years ago. I had similar symptoms at one point but, unlike the embolism, I improved a little so I thought I might be okay. Everything's still a little screwy though but the tests checked out okay.

So, I'm hanging in there :)

Thanks, GoodStuff. That is a useful piece of info.

Sorry I can't advise about your neighbours' noise, though your story reminds me of one of my own: a usually quiet young couple lived below me: one evening I heard raised voices, which was very odd, then suddenly, out of the blue came the girl's voice, crystal clear: "It's my f*cking life!" then it went quiet again.
Something tells me they were having a full and frank discussion on the topic of marriage, babies, or both.

After I discovered a new thing called a "coronary calcium scan,"
I'm now a big believer in everyone getting one - starting at 40,
but earlier if you have or had a relative with a bad heart.
You can have low cholesterol, but not even know that you
may have dangerously high coronary calcium.
The reverse can be true too: high cholesterol, but little
or no coronary plaque. People with low cholesterol think
they're in the clear until that day comes when their
heart gives out. It's a relatively new, but super easy
procedure that takes only a few minutes on a table
as the run a CT scan on you and give you a printout.
Most insurance doesn't cover it yet (too new?),
but it was the best $79 I've spent in a long time.
