Tom Geiger Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 My friggin bank. They send me a new Visa debit card, telling me my card "may have been compromised" and my old card is void immediately and I need to register this one right away. So now I need to figure out how many accounts of mine depend on this card so I can change them all!
Tom Geiger Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 My most recent McD story... when I'm hungry and I want to eat something cheap and quick, I get a couple of those $1 chicken sandwiches. Sunday I was on the wrong side of the highway and there was a Wendys. So I got two of their $1 chicken sandwiches.... much, much better than McDonalds. Where were these all my life!?!

Ah Grasshopper...you have just taken your first step into a far, far larger world than you ever dreamed existed... Or, "Why did the Tom cross the road? To get to the chicken on the other side".

chunkypeanutbutter Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Where were these all my life!?! Sounds like they were across the other side of the highway.
cobraman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I have a question to everyone suffering from the annoying peep in the head. What do you do when trying to sleep or when it's quiet, how do you try to live with it? It's slowly getting me down and sleeping with radio on won't help my much needed nightrest. I have a visit to the doctor planned on 15th of april. Way to long. White noise machine ???
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) White noise machine ??? Or move really close to the interstate and sleep with the windows open. Seriously, I know it sucks. That's why I joke about it. It's been a part of me so long I don't notice it much, very often, unless I think about it. The white-noise machine is a good suggestion though. A friend gave me one that does surf, rain, and a bunch of others. Quite realistic. Edited March 24, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy
FASTBACK340 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 The year started off with me having some health issues again. As I loose weight and age it's raising hell with my medications. I get in shape and feel sick. Go figure…. My Wife's Mom is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and lately has been having issues with her eyes and one of her legs. Multiple doctors visits a week. And two weeks ago my Wife lost her Father. He was ill and finally succumbed. She just got back from Arizona yesterday. The up-side is I'm looking forward to working a full week this week for the first time this year…….. Me build a model? I barely have time to look at yours….
slusher Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 John, i hate to hear you having a bad time. i use to love to work and be around my coworkers. Life can be so hard at times but your alive and have your wife. I Take 23 to 25 pills a day and seems they all have a side affect. Please hang in there it will get better.
High octane Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I take a low dose sleeping pill and have no problems. I did get off the sleeping pills for awhile, and then my tinnitus really "kicked up" and I had to go back on them.

I did get off the sleeping pills for awhile, and then my tinnitus really "kicked up" and I had to go back on them. I've had to take prescription sleeping pills for 20 years for my insomnia.. I've traveled before and forgotten to pack them and was miserable. I can use Tylenol PM or Alieve PM in a pinch, but they aren't as affective as 500mg of the heavy stuff...I crave good sleep, it ruins my day if don't get at least 7 hours uninterrupted (which is hard to get).

chunkypeanutbutter Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 So I decided to crank out some programming on the Dino 200. Dusted it off and went out to the living room with it. Started it and was greeted with a screen full of black pixels. Batteries? Pulled em and replaced em. Same thing. Finally, I got it to turn on. All of my programs were gone, gone forever. Well, I only spent 7 hours on one of them debugging... So I pulled it apart, took off the screen, cleaned a few connections around the internal clock battery. Seems to be working fine. Just plunked in a simple piano prog for a test and it works disco. Time will tell.
Tom Geiger Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Sorry to hear John! My wife lost her mother last month too. Hope to see you in a few weeks!
atomicholiday Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 My most recent McD story... I do like their bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and coffee once in a while. One morning last week, I was going through the drive through at 6am..two young women were at the drive through window, one taking orders and one making coffee..they bumped into each other and started fighting--screaming obsenities at each other and pulling hair...like something from the Jerry Springer show. The shift manager broke it up and got me my sandwich and coffee.... Dinner and a show!
disabled modeler Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I take a low dose sleeping pill and have no problems. I did get off the sleeping pills for awhile, and then my tinnitus really "kicked up" and I had to go back on them. I have to take meds to be able to sleep or it wont happen....pain,nerve damage keeps me awake no matter how long its been since I have slept.
Roadrunner Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I'm darned lucky not to have any hearing issues. I've played the drums for eons, wearing headphones while the receiver was cranked up all the time.
atomicholiday Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I've got tinnitus too. Too many years of listening to music at paint pealing levels. Being in a band didn't help. And neither do all the shop-air leaks where I work. I used to sleep with a fan to drown it out, but about a year ago, the fan started keeping me awake. Not sure why. I slept with a fan for about 30 years and now all of the sudden it keeps me awake?

So now I need to figure out how many accounts of mine depend on this card so I can change them all! Same has happened to me, more than once. It's a hassle to reconfigure all your on-line accounts... but it's better than having the bad guys run up huge tabs on your card. I'm glad my bank is vigilant in that regard.
slusher Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Not Irked but sad. Lost a good friend i have known for 30 years. We married best friends out of high school and we became good friends. We as couples plaid cards and went out on weekends. My first wife and i divorced we still stayed friends. Then he was divorced by his wife because she met some one else. He lost his job because his diabetes, he lost his mother, then his brother, less the a year later his life. He never remarried or had a girlfriend. i feel so bad for him. i was his best man at his wedding. He was 49 years old. Very young....Thanks for listening guys
Lucas van H Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I have the day off today, so I thought I could sleep a litle longer. Well, nope, I woke up at 6AM and couldn't get back to sleep...
oldnslow Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well, good morning, Lucas, I usually sleep to 6:30 or 7, but am up at 5 to take my granddaughter to the bus stop today.
