    Health Problems

    FWIW, its doing quite a bit better. Although sitting much of day was rough at times, it did give the back a chance to rest. Ended up picking up some Tylenol on the way home and that was a big help, haven't had any pain once i took some of those mid afternoon. Been a long time since I've taken...

    Health Problems

    This could probably go in the Jimmy Rustle thread, but it works here too: Tweaked my back yesterday at work and it’s fucking infuriating. About 20 years ago, working a job at Lowe’s and I slightly compressed a disk loading appliances. Being 20 years old I just walked it off and things healed...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    So, just to update, the tech did come back. Ended up taking out the heating elements which did have some buildup on them. Put new ones in and they still wouldn't turn on even though they had power; so he traced that and discovered when the installer put it in, they badly spliced the wires from...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    First real issue I'm dealing with my new home. It is a new construction, April will be 2 years since I've been in the house; and the water heater stopped heating yesterday. Draining the tank like the recommend and cleared out any debris, but still nothing. Called plumber and they couldn't...

    Health Problems

    I'm usually pretty good about missing all of these yearly, but I think I caught one as well. Have had an upset stomach since yesterday; thought it was just something I ate but im thinking it must be one of these. Guess I'll be downing Pepto and water for the next few days till it works its way...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    So, just got to the 5th zone. Enjoying the story so far, but I enjoy seeing the different cultures and locations, plus I'm always down for character driven stories. Definitely more of a Stormblood expansion where its more about the other characters than the WoL but I've been ok with that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've been enjoying it as well; the WoL is on vacation and the Scions are playing Mentor Roulette with the Dawnservants kids. The WoL gets to relax and if things really go pear-shaped we get to go remind everyone why we get to put Godslayer on our business card. I'm only into the 3rd zone but...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Thus far I'm only up to level 92/93 stage and the last time it came up was Erenvale asking you when they were about to start the Succession challenges. And alot of that is coming from his perspective and hang ups on being back in his homeland; he hasd alot of baggage about home and I think he...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Yeah, the caller sounded Indian but he did say it was a Level 2 escalation. I’m willing to give them some time to see if they decide to expand. Worse case they decline and I just order Starlink. I give it decent odds that they might, there’s a lot of building going on in the area and the...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I’ll take a look and see. Had an interesting call today from Xfinity, seems like they have escalated the issue and told me to give them 2-3weeks and they will get back to me. I’m guessing they must be looking at possibly running lines down into my area of the neighborhoods. There’s enough...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Bumping this thread since I finally got into my new home. Turns out there is no cable or fiber service at the moment out here. Closest Xfinity junction is 3/4 of a mile away and it seems like none of the providers want to run the cables through until more homes are built so that may take 2-3...

    Home buying thread

    No problem, it is an open floor plan style home: I would have gone for the next model up which had a garage but it was another $30k and that was just way too much to justify especially at today's interest rates. But yeah, good luck finding anything smaller like a 2br/2ba. Even mobile homes...

    Home buying thread

    House is 1000sqft, 3 bedroom / 2 bath; mortgage including property came out to $197k, which was still less than buying some 40 year old house in the area. And really, that was just me having a first world moment. I meal prep every week, so i really don't need a bigger kitchen, it was just me...
