  1. Another day to be grateful for. Another step forward.
  2. So my first week in my convalescent I had a two bed room to myself. Two days ago I had a room mate who has been recovering from a fall. He is c9nstantly calling staff to help him up. He is capable but a majority of the time he chooses to be helpless. The last two nights his actions have distrusted my sleep. I was up 5 or 6 times last night. I am getting monumentally annoyed becuase it's making it hard for me to doing the things I need to do to go home. He needs assistance when he gets up for the fall but not at the excessive frequency he has been doing. I had to bite my tongue when I heard him ask his wife when he was going home. Don't understand how he thinks he can put no effort into getting better when he is making no effort to doing anything. Hopefully tonight will be better. Regardless there is going to be a change. It's a pain in the rear for me and the staff who have told him they have limited bandwidth. I just found out that my roommate has dementia and is not just a person who relishes being a victim. Hoping tonight is better.
  3. Some amazing fabrication work. https://youtu.be/Q9XOvOP7eW0?si=zB3gyVuMLzFgtbLw
  4. Great looking color.
  5. How many Wips are too many?it really boils down to what you are comfortable doing. Everybody's way of doing thins aree different. Just like the subject matter is ones personal preference. There are no fixed rules with m modeling.
  6. Another wonderful day. It's going to be cooler which means I can go sit in a area that is quiet. I am not used to all of the ambient noise. It is a pleasure to be able to hear the water in the fountain. I is so peaceful. As always feeling better every day.
  7. Function should.take precedence over form because that is the most important aspect of any product.
  8. Ti think that this would be for a non plug-in hybrid. With all of the stops the batteries would be charged and requiring minimal gas usage. In addition there would be no load on the grid. All ele c tric is not the ideal solution in this case.
  9. I had a thought. With the recent trend of closing sorting station requires changing the database for those changes. There are multiple issues that can be created by this. If mistakes are made in the sorting database it would cause packages to be sent to the wrong place. another issue could be some issue with the database itself. I also wonder how they implement the database for the sorting machines. Just a thought.
  10. You expect intelligent ads from insurance companies when there representatives are dinner waitresses, talking geicos,and emus. Makes as much sense as going to a brain surgeon and his got clown makeup on and oversize shows.
  11. Fiction what most people believe today becuse they don't bother to to investigate find the true facts are for themselves.
  12. Thanks for the updae.
  13. Despite the issue with the power last night(see what irked me) I managed to get some sleep last night. I got my morning exercise routine.done and am feeling really good this morning. I also expanded the distance I am waliking. I feel so blessed I've turned the corner on this.
  14. We have been experiencing temperate in the 100s the last couple of days. Yesterday the high was 104. We lost power last night at 8:30 PM because someone took out a power pole. Typical to when things go wrong the backups generator had an issue. We didn’t get power back until 3am. It was hot. Fortunately this didn’t happen earlier when it was a lot hotter.
  15. Thanks Dave. That you for all your work to.keep the site moving smoothly. Thanks to all the mods for making this a pleasant place to visit.
  16. Another glorious day. Feeling a little better everyday. Finally got my medication situation straighten out. Also got my low sodium diet in place.
  17. Is that what you really want?
  18. Yup you nailed it.
  19. Another glorious morning. Woke up a little sore this morning which tells me that my exercises are starting to strength my muscles. I am also pleased. Before my pacemaker surgery I was getting some shakiness in my hands. It started to improve and then started getting a little worst. After the surgery my right hand stopped but the left was still shaky. I realized I was having to most everything with my right arm becuase of the pacemaker surgery. I realized I needed to exercise my left hand. I looked on the web and found some exercises. I've been doing them for a couple of days and the shakiness has gone away on the left side. I have one more blessing in my life.
  20. Looks great. Nicely done. Looks like a great space.
  21. You'd think that 5000 years we would have figured it out. No I'm not of the belief that we've every had real peace in the world. There have always who seek power over others. What purpose does it serve to have billions of dollars. There are so many things that money will never buy. In the Star Trek next generation movie Picard talks about humanity being transformed and cast off the need for greed and wealth and there are better things to aspire for. Budda came from a rich family but realized that wealth was not the most important thing in life. He chose to teach others to follow that path. You cannot put a monetary value on some things. A beautiful sunset or the singing of a songbird. Being grateful for what you have is just so important. I doubt that mankind will figure this in my lifetime but there is hope that it will eventually happen.
  22. I'm talking about the world in general. Not intending this to be any political conversation. I believe that the humanity has so much potential for acting better between themselves rather than hatred for others and those are craving wealth and power.
