  1. I'm listening to a pretty girl play a gotdang Bosendorfer.
  2. 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.
  3. What's the opinion of Gold Eagles vs Gold Buffalos? I know Eagles are less prone to scratching, etc., but I don't really handle my coins so wear and tear isn't really a factor imho. But they seem to be the gold standard...see what I did there?
  4. Came last week, signature required, which I suppose is understandable, but I'm never home when the mail is delivered, so it requires a trip to the post office...which makes me cranky. Looks exactly like the photo on the web page, which is pretty spare. If the wife turns her nose up at birthday time I'll give her some other trinket with a fraction of the gold. At least I'll have another oz. I'll get out my gram scale at some point and post again.
  5. Email today says tracking number created.
  6. If not Ferguson, who do you recommend for installs?
  7. So far, it's taken them 33 days to cash my check. The waiting continues.
  8. Why do all clothing catalogue models look irked? I'm not spending time in your catalogue looking at pictures of people who seem to want to tell me to fuck off. You trying to sell clothes or not?
  9. That really is a very nice looking hole.
  10. Brother, you were never gross or disgusting.
  11. Woman, why are you crying?
  12. But they shouted, all the louder. "Crucify Him!"
  13. ISWYDT
  14. Keith Reid, lyricist. I loved his lyrics back when I was "An angry young man".
  15. Tuck your shirt in...or don't, but this shit of tucking everything but just above the belt buckle is stupid. It's stupid. Fuck you.
  16. "Talk to your doctor or medical practitioner". Actually you can buy these on Amazon, but medical advice wouldn't hurt. When geting out of bed, "dangle", hang your feet and legs over the edge of the bed for 30 seconds until your blood has a chance to equalize. Getting out of a chair, stand by the chair for 30 seconds to see if you are going to need to sit back down. I'm going to be a merciless, obnoxious "I told you so" if you fall and bust a bone. https://hillcrestsouth.com/news/when-should-you-wear-ted-hose-or-compression-socks
  17. Okay, not a big deal from an overall health standpoint…it does not indicate that you have some additional illness or condition. But I still maintain it is a big deal from a safety standpoint. Semantics I guess. Cheers.
  18. Okay, I know I'm starting to be a nag...but yes it is a big deal. If you fall and break a bone your exercise plans go to hell in the proverbial handbasket. There goes your diet plan for months while your bone heals. Nag. Nag. Nag.
  19. I'm not trying to diagnose, but if that's what it is the main thing is to be conscious of it, know you are going to be dizzy when you stand up and prepare for it. Slow and easy.
  20. Old Woman and The Sea?
  21. I'll be the guinea pig on the bullion bracelet. Probably going to be 3-4 weeks before it gets here. If the wife doesn't like the dull color, I'll just throw it in the drawer with the old wedding rings, broken gold glasses frames and pulled crowns.
  22. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/orthostatic-hypotension/symptoms-causes/syc-20352548
  23. Call the county mental health services. MHMR in some counties but go by different names. Better than you’d think, especially in a crisis.
