    Going to College as an Adult

    I went to a directional school nearby for 3 semesters part time. When I went to school out of state and needed to transfer my credits I had to interview with the dean of the college at the university. They probably don't do that anymore. It's been 25 years. He had a list of the courses and...

    I thought he mean dark mode, where it's just dark like a PC darkmod. Could be wrong.

    Health Problems

    I've had multipe of those ultrasounds I guess they are called. Nothing. The pain has been in the same spot now for 5.5 years and has been growing the last few weeks. I'm not sure if the spinal MRI would catch it or not. I've had multiple of those. It moves back and forth in that area. It's not...

    EVE Online

    The only in game drama is the damn red dot that pops up on everything to let you know something. Move something from one can to another, red dot. Loot something, red dot. It's supposed to help new players. Annoying and reddit fired the mods and now it's the red dot sub.

    The Fast Food Thread

    BK here has a manager lady that is almost too wide in the butt to walk between the grille and the wall or whatever, same for the front counter. But she gets shit done and whips the workers into shape.

    Health Problems

    I was on it for almost 2 years. I couldn't tell it did anything. Started at 300mg, then 600mg and finally 900mg 3 times a day. Taper off over a few months. The only thing I noticed is it made my hands somewhat numb.

    Health Problems

    I have all those listed except for hydromorphene. The tramadol really isn't so much of a big pain releif it kind of knocks the edge off so I concentrate on doing something. I'm starting to move up the scale now and I really didn't want to jump two spots at once. I can see why so many people get...

    A virgin that rented a car and let a guy drive it while she was in it. Yeah she's a virgin, right.... For Amanda, her trouble started in October 2018 when the 18-year-old rented a car that was being driven by a friend. When he wanted to stop he spotted a parking space, but mixed up the...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Get near death ill will take the weight off. When it first happened 6 years ago I went from 195 to 175 pretty quickly. I gained most of it back pretty quickly as well. I'm down to just over 160 now pretty quickly again.

    I think that's about what I have experienced as as well. Nothing ever knocks me out. The less pain the more likely I am to stay up forever.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm a big fan. I played all the games and expansions forever and still do from time to time. I'm not sold on the storyline as of yet. I don't know much about it, may be great once it gets more filled out. Let's just say hopefull. So much stuff has been redone, added to and such lately that sucks.

    Does anyone have a scale of the effectiveness of pain medication. I have a multitude of prescriptions. Tramadol, Oxycodone, Hyrdocodene, Percocet just to name a few I have handy here right now. Some I've never taken. The pain is kind of moving up the scale. Not a fan of the number scale by the way.

    Grim Dawn

    I'm kind of burnt out on PoE as well. I was never hardcore end game player. Once I got shaper down a few times it lost it's appeal. I don't craft much and once I crafted a few usable items that was the end of it really. I didn't go past act 3 the current league.

    Grim Dawn

    Started looking for a beginner build again today. The few I had saved I lost when the forum was down and changed over. I seem to recall it was some 2 handed mace build but the class escapes me. It really doesn't matter. I know I don't want a pet build, never cared for them.

    I don't have that many and I'm big on the "just in case". I went back to the endocrinologist that changed my insulin. I got a good grade. For the last 30 days my glucose has been in the target zone of between 80 and 160 95% of the time. It was higher but I went without a sensor for 2 days and...

    The river right across the road within eyesight of their house got nothing. The lake they are on nothing. They mentioned how bad the flooding was in Jackson an hour away and they were really surprised compared to them getting nothing.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I used to like LinkedIn because a lot of the hiring (not in the tech industry by far) was tied to trust in people you had worked with on projects. I do get some really random "headhunter" emails at times. For a long time my job title was steel detailer and is still listed on my resume. I got an...

    Any experience with the painkiller Tramadol. I have precsriptons for a variety of pain medicines. I'm scared to death of them and avoid them if I can. I've had prescriptions for hydrocodene, oxycontin, and possibly some others. I never took them. Most times in the past the pain was more what I...

    Those cold zones things I wonder about at times. In Baton Rouge which is near the gulf an hour north of New Orleans it's "always" hot. I remember in 1989 it got down to 2 degrees for 2 days.

    At least Coach O enjoys coaching at LSU. Besides winning and having the national championship he's having the time of his life. He threw the first pitch out last night to start the LSU baseball game/season which at LSU is nothing like football but still a pretty big deal. They draw about 10k per...

    I'm off to the ER in just a few. This has never really been about pain. The lymph nodes are killing me. It also at times feels like bone pain. I'm not real sure it's hard to define. Just in my arms and my legs "real" pain not really discomfort. Looking back at the last few labs. My red blood...
