  1. When I had flair ups (squats, picking up my kid, sometimes bending over wrong) I was in extreme pain trying to tie my shoes. When it was good it was still tight. Not tightness this morning. I’m hoping I can get back in PT and keep it away since I know the shot is 12 months at best, 6 months on average, and only 2-3 weeks for some poor souls.
  2. Has anyone had a cortisone shot in their lumbar for lower back pain? I had one yesterday. Don’t feel any back pain, which is nice, but I also haven’t tried to pick anything up. I am however having some muscle…weakness? I’m not sure how to describe. Started with my thighs yesterday. After walking around a bit, I felt like I had done squats, and my legs were getting crampy. Last night and this morning my shoulders, tris, and back are doing it too from the pushing to roll over. Just a very weird sensation.
  3. Please tell me they get Russel Crowe to play Wellington.
  4. I wasn’t meaning to say don’t also get the gym membership. He said he’d been having trouble being active due to the heat.
  5. If you’ve got the room, get a bike, treadmill, or elliptical for your home. You can probably even find a very good condition one that was only used as a clothes hanger in FB or Nextdoor or OfferUp. Even if you’re motivated, having to take the time get to and from gym can kill your enthusiasm.
  6. I love Galveston in November and December. I wish I could send my kids to their normal school (in seabrook) but live in Galveston for those months. It’s a bit too cold for me, but the kids still love swimming December/January. We’re going to leave next Thursday and stay at a place on the beach for a week. Will be a nice get away
  7. It is how I say fuck in my head now
  8. FAFO? Doesn’t seem like there were any consequences. Iranian ship just fled. No shots fired by US. Why don’t we scramble a few jets and sink them? Seems like we sink a few and maybe they don’t capture 20 ships since 2021
  9. I have to actually defend Cruz here because for some stupid fucking reason this has taken over all the sites. Doesn’t matter what genre it’s in, just toss step in the title. Don’t even bother feeding the titles. Step is probably there. And lol at tatted up 35 year old step-whatevers.
  10. What do you mean by 1/1 vs 2/1 buy down, and how is seller able to pay that?
  11. Well I finally decided I don’t like seeing my family that much anyway and bought this last night. It’s been a decade, but I don’t remember an internet connection being mandatory for d3. Started with necro. Only to lvl 10. I get much more enjoyment than I should from spamming corpse explosion
  12. No pre stain treatment. Didn’t even know that was a thing. So I wonder if I shouldn’t just paint over it at this point? If I do paint with latex, do I have to use and oil based primer first? like this? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_022_PRIMERS-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Multi_PLALIA&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_022_PRIMERS-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Multi_PLALIA-71700000075826637-58700006498654198-92700058683659550&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UcRAv3DG-04fC3_qek1RgLcA&gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVkeQKJQ2pNm1ozUoV9TILkkZUKbrfMAu5Nrk4gES7KGttiNpUFEjBxoChsUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
  13. Help me out so I don’t lose my man card. Started with sanded pine for stair treads. I wanted a more grey stain but this is what wife picked. The stain does not look…even? Just not what I was expecting. Will a second coat fix this? Do I need to lightly sand first? Heavily sand?
  14. Mariah Carey should be at the top of your comparisons and I’ll cut anyone who disagrees
  15. And sometimes people for a “small gathering” get in a fight with each other and use an SUV to ram a truck through your garage door, and when the cops show up people are just streaming out of the house. Got a quite a few fun stories. It’s a pain sometimes, but if you can just get through it you realize you have something to laugh at later on.
  16. Our fees are actually less than what the cleaning crew charges us. People bitch about cleaning fees and wonder how it can be expensive then come your home and leave cigarette butts and beer cans everywhere outside, track sand in by the truckload from the beach, spill shit everywhere, let their kids draw in the doors, etc.
  17. Yep. And I don’t think the air handler on the wall looks bad, but they make handlers to put in the ceiling that look like normal registers
  18. We put a different brand in our master bedroom when our main unit died and we were waiting on new central unit. We’ve added several to rentals we bought, and I will never again install central AC if the duct isn’t already run. May not install it anyway. I like being able to control each room. I think it saves money.
  19. Yeah. And it’s going on 70+ years. Possible the cedar siding was doing some of the load bearing? All the old plumbing was to ~500 gallon septic tanks made out of concrete. Sturdy as fuck but I think only about 1/4 to 1/3 of what code would require for size now. And the drainfield wasn’t much either. Of course, 2-3 generations later, the crack head family members just ran the main line to the ditch when the line to the tank broke and they couldn’t figure out how to fix it.
  20. Weird. I've heard of blocking in specific spots for specific things, but never seen this. I’m not saying it is right. I think it is done to save a few bucks by people who don’t know what they’re doing and/or don’t think anyone will notice. I’ll see if I can find pictures of the one we gutted. The 1950s home as we were taking it down
  21. Wait...runs wall studs horizontal? Say more about this... They’re not holding anything up. It’s just framing to hold up drywall. I think it saves a handful of 2x4s. They did this on our house built in about 2000. I also recently found it on a house we are redoing built in about 1950
  22. My room where my wife hung up a picture. ETA fuck any builder that runs wall studs horizontals to save a few bucks. Just making the wife problem worse
  23. It’s the opening credits. Who gives a shit. People need to put the phone down and go outside.
