    So, I finally passed a kidney stone on Sunday morning. Managed to save it and dropped it off to the Urologist office today. Hope to god they don't lose it because I need to figure out what type they are. From my own limited experience, itlookslike a uric acid stone, at least from the shape...

    I think it depends on where you are. Down here in Florida, after all the crap that has gone on about the pill mills here, doctors are still willing to prescribe, but refills are difficult due to all the abuse.

    Sorry to see that Tred. Sprained one of my fingers when I was a kid, which hurt quite a bit too. Hope they can set it back for you and it will heal over time, i guess. As for myself, in my on going saga with my Kidney Stones. Had a followup with the urologist today, after they did a follow...

    Funeral arrangements?

    As someone in the funeral profession, this is what I try to impress on folks the most. It doesn't matter what you want done, but make sure you know, let others know, and get arrangements made when you are able to. Costs are always going to go up, and if you pre-arrange early, you lock in that...

    So, after finally getting a CT scan done for my abdominal pain back on Jan 22, it showed I have Kidney stones. 1 was moving through my ureter and has already passed by now, 5 in my left Kidney and 1 in my right kidney. Most are 3mm with 1 or 2 up around 5mm. Pretty small and non-obstructive...

    Well, I had one 4 years ago that they did find with an X-ray.... so may not be Uric Acid after all.

    Health Problems

    So, CT scans confirmed that I've got Kidney stones. One is down in the left ureter working its way through, with 1 more still in right kidney and 5 in the left, all between 3-5mm. I don't think the one in the left ureter has passed yet, but I hope so soon. Going to try and save it so I can get...

    I guess so, still seems weird that I've been pounding down water for the past month and the stone hasn't passed by now..... just hoping the pills will help. Felt one or two pings this morning on the left side so I'm really hoping the stone is moving. Been able to just take 1 pain pill every 6...

    So, got in to the family medicine clinic Friday and got them to squeeze me in for CT scan, but they wouldn't be able to give me results till Mon/Tues. Did not feel good the rest of the day and ended up going to the ER Friday night just to try and get some answers and to get some help. They did...

    So, to update from my post about a month ago.... Got prescribed a week of Cipro from the Walk in clinic back just after Christmas, took that then had a followup. Nausea and such had cleared up but still had aches and discomfort in abdomen, not severe but enough that I can feel it at times...

    So, to preface this, I'm 33 years old, 5'6, 240lbs. Back on the 20th, had a burst of pain in my left side. Thought it was a kidney stone (Had one 4 years ago, haven't had any since). But, took some aspirin and pain went away and nothing after that. Then, Christmas Eve night, just...

    You'll want to go to Makeb. The Rise of the Hutt Cartel is Chapter 4, after that is done, then go to the small kiosk in your ship and pick up the Forged Alliances - Prelude to Shadow of Revan to start the next storyline. You can skip Ilum.

    To get to Pandaria, I'd first check your cities announcement boards. Should be a breadcrumb quest to get you to who you need to talk to. As far as pet battles go, if your just starting out levelling pets, I'd look for a pet that is strong against beasts and one strong against critters, as...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Last 3 bosses require some amount of tactics and can often have wipes even on LFR. So tanks/healers will often bail and just hop to the next raid hoping it will be easier than the last group. Leading to a lot of DPS standing around and waiting while the limited amount of tanks/healers just get...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Meh, its all damage control right now. They were all up in the guys nuts until today, now they have to run like rats and pray no one remembers all the crap they were saying just a few days ago, on camera. I expect Stewart and Colbert to have fun with this latest little episode, especially since...

    Well, considering most 'Responsible Citizens' would be running away rather than trying to get in a gunfight in the middle of a mall ( which has many avenues of escape ). Also, I do hope that our subject has made sure, in the precious few seconds she has to aim at her target with adrenaline...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Ah yes, that's just what we need isn't it. More people with shitty 'causes' running around with guns trying to dick meas.... have a show of force. Because rather than follow laws and come to understandings, we just reject reality, substitute our own and threaten anyone we don't like. 'MERICCA!!!

    At least in the early Exile zones, there's areas with the blue crystals. Being near to the crystals gives you the low gravity buff which lets you do the crazy high jumps, pretty fun as theres often high areas you need to climb using the buff. Not sure in the later levels, tho I assume its there too.

    As of right now, servers are not up. I'm guessing they are seeing how many of the new invites sighup, then maybe send invite to the previous beta testers, then probably bring servers up once they have a good sized group to test with.

    Does anyone know if housing will be account based or per character? Checking the videos but it didn't specify. Hoping for account based myself, would hate to have to build and equip multiple houses.

    First kill of the day per character has best chance for the rare loot for most mobs. After that, you have a smaller chance for loot. But you still have a shot at it, was how I got the thundering onyx mount, just kept killing the serpent all day till it finally dropped. Most of the time you'll...

    2013 NFL Season

    Yes. While Morris and Schiano were/are not perfect coaches , Freeman has always been inconsistant as fuck. He is like the Anti-Romo, he sucks balls for 95% of the game, then in the last quarter he suddenly thinks he's Keanu Reeves in The Replacements and is suddenly making throws you can't...

    Meh, Freeman was also mediocre for the Bucs. Though, after all the drama he caused down here, I'm secretly hoping one of the Giants drives his face into the ground.

    Well, that was because things didn't go according to plan, for either side (humans or aliens). It falls like this: World govt has given up on jaegers, has people constructing the wall. Pentecost knows its bullshit but can't get any traction, so he tells em he will use the last jaegers to...

    Pacific Rim

    The point wasn't to hold it back for a glory shot, it was that they were facing an enemy that was learning and adapting to them. The battle in the harbor showed as much, the two kaiju had specific weapons to take out the jaegers. Using the sword meant the aliens now knew about it and that was...

    Well, the trouble with Freeman was that he was just never consistent. There were times he'd be on fire and you would think 'Wow, he's got some talent in there" and then other times he would go full Romo and you would just shake your head. Some people blame the changing of coaches, players, etc...

    Yeah, if it is the next WoW expac, it will deal with Azshara and N'Zoth. Maybe even have the other Old Gods make one last hurrah in the final battle. Then the last xpac will be Burning Legion / Titan throwdown.

    See, i don't think so. Rosalind only got enough funding through Comstock, otherwise she would only have been able to manipulate the atoms like she and Robert were up till then. I do think, that while the Lutece's will not disappear even though we stopped the Comstock timelines from happening...

    Bought this at half price during the Steam sale. Fantastic game, makes me wish i had played Bioshock 1&2, but still a great ride. Reading up on things it sounds like there supposed to be some DLC coming out with more lore gameplay, which would be great. Really hoping we get:
