  1. Any recs for Austin person/company to fix/install/throw in the trash a Pentaire Screen Logic? I've tried. Two other guys have tried and none of the above can make it work consistently.
  2. Contentment is a gift hard won.
  3. I'm two days in to trying to take of 10 lbs and I'm a complete bitch. 10,000 steps and my back is killing me. I don't know how you do it.
  4. So, do you just go stand at 24th and San Antonio and ask all the passers by, "Got any shrooms?"
  5. Well, I'm behind the times. When I think flashing I think sheet metal.
  6. Can someone give me a tutorial, or a vid link, to the proper way to flash a window/door. Emphasis on "proper way".
  7. If you've seen some of my other posts, you know that I think MD Anderson is the best in the world. Try to not rush it. Take more days off than you may think you will need. Take a "leisurely" walk around the place. Get familiar so you don't add the anxiety of having to find an office at the last minute. IOW make a dry run if possible. Take someone with you to act as a secretary or scribe. You will get hit with much more information than you will be able to remember without someone being with you to take notes. If your initial consultation says, "Get an x-ray tomorrow", go at that moment and see where the x-ray department is. It's a big place. Become at least somewhat familiar. Take a deep breath. There is plenty of art work and other stuff to see which is not sickness related. See the sights. Let some of the tension come out of your shoulders. You are at the right place.
  8. Looks like two Dual Showmen, a Bassman, and maybe a Tremolux. Oh Baby! This was loud!
  9. The frisbee golf goal really ties the room together.
  10. NB, don't sell that 12 string. At some point in your life you will want what it does. Even my nice Martin is a bear to play. The neck is big. Push down the low string of the pair and you still have to push harder to sound the high string of the pair, and you have to do that without pushing so hard that you pull it out of pitch. It is a different animal. I look at as "exercise". My hands are stronger and better on a 6 string because of the strength the 12 string has "forced" me to have. I played with a pick all my life, I still have a drawer full of blue Wabash, but I have started using my bare fingers. Not really finger picking, but sort of using my fingers the same as I would a pick...sort of...I'm still developing my "style". Anyhow, the fleshy part of your finger may calm some of the "noise" as you call it. Let me be redundant...do not sell that Martin. Some day you will want to hear that "Chorus of Angels".
  11. Wulaw's body says..."I was told there would be no maths".
  12. That's a pretty good looking mantle. Don't cover it up with a big rectangle of plastic.
  13. Looking at the Jamie Foxx thread over there. We won't know for sure until if/when they release an autopsy. I wouldn't be surprised if blood pressure is a major culprit. Some folks whistle past the graveyard when it comes to hypertension. Go to the doctor. Take the damn pill. Don't forget, you're not a 6 year old leaving his lunch money on the table. Take the pill. Treat your damn blood pressure. If the pill gives you boner problems, try a different one. There are hundreds of options. Treat your damn blood pressure.
  14. Prostate Cancer is relatively common in men, 13%, and very slow growing. My dad used to say, "We've all got it. It's just a matter of whether or not we live long enough for it to show itself."
  15. Good point. I thought sometimes companies did mass sales of information, without regard to the type of business. I don't do twitter or facebook, but your point stands.
  16. I've just started to get mailings from other metals and coin companies, which leads me to believe that SD has sold my information...which pisses me off.
  17. You really want Prostate biopsy horror stories? Really?? OK...so I had 3 before they finally found the Big C. Biopsy is bad but not as bad as you're fearing. For me it was the trocar or whatever they call the instrument that introduces the needle gun that was the most painful part. Must not be much nerve sensitivity in the Prostate cause that part was minimal, but that rod up my ass was not good. Each time I was just about to tell him to abort the procedure when the last needle was shot. Is that what you were wanting? I could talk about the bleeding if you want more. Then I can talk about a catheter hanging out of your dick for two weeks after the surgery. Fucking catheter was my biggest fear, but like the biopsy it wasn't as bad as anticipated. Plus you don't have to get up and pee all the time so there's that. But actually, the worst part was in the hospital trying to get my bowels moving since that's the requirement to go home. Trying to take a shit with a catheter hanging out of your dick and an IV stuck in your hand, and trying to not dip your hospital gown in the toilet, that right there was probably the worst part. Oh, and trying to wipe your ass with IV and catheter and flowing hospital gown. Yeah. Fuck that.
  18. Comment on getting it started. How much soil amendment is needed? I'm not good at starting grass from seed.
  19. Sounds like a keeper who doesn't get wrapped around the axle too often. That right there, man, that right there is a blessing.
  20. I'm listening to a pretty girl play a gotdang Bosendorfer.
  21. I'm a Rick Steves fan, too. I have this back pack and about a dozen of his packing cubes. In an effort to force myself to "pack light" I used the back pack as my carry on last week. Putting it in the overhead was a hassle. It was like trying to lift a plastic bag full of water. No stability or shape. Love the packing cubes, though.
