- Thread starter strawman

Ravenpoe should have duct out of the thread earlier
I dunno..puns and wordplay just grind some people the wrong way. I just go with the flow.

Girlfriend hurt her ankle a few days back. Took a bath with scented epsom salts. Used the jets in my tub for MAX relaxation.
Three days later the epsom salts in the air are making my eyes sting in my bedroom or bathroom.
And yes, I've had the aforementioned exhaust fan going 24/7 to try to deal with it.

I had my procedure today and I’m sore and freezing as I’m sitting on an ice pack.
The procedure itself went well, but the porter parked my wheelchair to sit across from me and lecture me. I guess based on us meeting five minutes earlier he knows my body and condition better than me or my doctor.
I am used to people being weird with me and I can usually handle that. Today I was sedated, exhausted and in no position to tell him off and walk away.
Why would this guy think I care what he thinks? What would possess him to prolong things to lecture me about my condition and then think I’d possibly consider taking his medical advice.
A healthy diet is never a bad thing. However, it can’t fix decades of joint damage. I also don’t want to be lectured about being more active when I’ve just had some of the nerves at the base of my spine burned out so I can sit and walk without crippling pain. These procedures allow me to work and walk without a cane.
Oh and fish oil pills. I am still sedated, but I’m sure I will be super angry tomorrow.

My download speed is currently half that of my upload speed.

Who the heck is your ISP?
Just to make sure you feel exceptionally bad, here's my connection in rural Florida.
Local outfit. They said that particular speed test wasn't reliable but I get the same numbers from their recommended site. According to trata on their end, it appears to be our modem or router. We have a Google mesh router, so I'm betting it isn't that. Imma reboot everything though.

Dang, that's sweet. I rarely beat 800 on my gigabit fiber.
I hate when an injury is ALMOST all the way healed, because for hours you'll go without pain, and then you'll be like "OH, I'll lift this bottle of whatever" and then BAM pain in the wrist!
My D&D Adventurers League party is finishing up their campaign tonight. We've spent months building up to this finale. I missed last week due to the wife's birthday and I was happy to do that. This morning, my nephew was born. That means the whole family will be spending the evening at the hospital. I guess I'll be missing tonight's gaming session too. This is their third kid, btw. It's not like we haven't done this before.
Yes, I know this is some petulant whining.

I would stop by earlier, make polite noises about new noisemaker, tell family I had a previous commitment for that evening that was scheduled weeks ago and go play D&D. Kids don’t become interesting for a few years, babies are the ultimate narcissists.

I just found out an aunt I was very fond of died a last week of a heart attack. I won't be able to make the memorial, because I didn't find out about it in time to make arrangements to get there (she and my uncle lived in New Jersey). Probably because she was one of two people on that side of the family older than me that I haven't alienated with my politics in the last few years.
The uncle in question has been going downhill so fast that it was a big surprise that she preceded him. From what I hear, the plan is to wrap up all their loose ends up there and then put him in an assisted living center here in BCS. The dementia is hitting him pretty hard, such that he remembers who I am, but I was told that if I DID drop everything to go up to the memorial, he might not remember the day after that I had been there.

It’s not a full evening, but it’s right during game night. And I’m already getting the “you think a game is more important than your new nephew!” lecture from the wife. Southern girls can be weird about family. No, I don’t care if this is the last full month of pre-pre-K for the oldest nephew but the wife certainly does.
I’m thinking I’m the type of person that ‘80s PSAs were meant for. Yes, it is 10 pm. No, I have no idea where my children are.

By and large, it's all a lot of them have going on.
