    Shit dude I had to cross the I10 bridge in Baton Rouge on the river every day. 30 minutes to go 2 miles. I could see BR from my office and the bridge. Lots of days it started backing up at noon. Only spot I10 from CA to FL goes to one lane is coming off that bridge.

    I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Just seemed a lot of negatives about work lately in here. I bitch a lot too, but it's just bitching. Bitch enough and I get tired of it and move on like I did the last job. I take a lot of pride in getting "stuff" done. I take a lot of pride and show people...

    I'm lucky my mom doesn't take shit from nobody and never stopped pestering. When I was diagnosed with diabetes nobody really knew anything. She didn't stop looking for better "answers" than just stuff a lot of food in a 5 year old which was their advice. We wound up at Tulane and then onto the...

    I knew I was screwed up, but it really hit home when I sat down and listed all the stuff that I've had happen in the last year to tell the doctors this week. Odd stuff. I lost all the hair on both legs but only one side - the outside of both lower legs. My heartrate has always been high...

    Diabetics aren't supposed to drink alcohol for a variety of reasons. One being it's raises your blood sugar quickly and a LOT. My friend worked in the ER as a nurse in the french quarter for years. At mardi gras they would bring in diabetics with a blood sugar of 1600. A normaly person is 70-120...

    LSU Defense caught more balls than LSU's wide receivers. 3 vs. 2. I've seen LSU be pretty run oriented for a long time, but nothing like this. With 4 complete passes last night they are still 9th in the country for yards per play.

    Can you say one dimensional. LSU threw the ball more in the first half than I've seen them throw in several years. 4 completions, none in the second half with zero passing yards in the second half. Shit is not going to fly when they meet a real team.

    I'm having squirrel for dinner. Go ahead and gag. Friend brought me some since season opened today and I can't walk right now. These will be pretty good since they came from a hardwood bottom area and not an area where they eat seeds from pine cones (blah).

    Time to bail on Adblock?

    Instead of fixing it because more people block ads, they make ads more annoying and louder and pay off content providers. Someone needs to break the cycle.

    Time to bail on Adblock?

    Ad blocking arms race I guess. Everyone got up in arms that apple allowed ad blockers in the ap store. A guy wrote one and put it on the ap store. In a few days it was in the top 10 of aps. He took it down and wrote about it because it was blocking ads on his own site. Duh. I hope it stirs up...

    I guess food truck depends on where you live. The only time I used one was on site in New Orleans building the new hospital. They had a truck come by weekly and I would eat. It was nothing more than a truck pulling a utility trailer with a couple of big cast iron pots and burners making...

    I don't know he said they could test to see if your body is absorbing it. I don't know how, maybe they give you a mass dose and compare it. It's the university medical center with both an internist and neurologist and they said prepare to stay several days if needed until they find the problem.

    CAD is a good skill to have, if you have some knowledge of what you are drawing. That's how I got started in what I do now. But guys who only know CAD are cubicle drones who don't make the greatest in pay. Someone else has to tell them what to draw. People who know what the finshed product...

    Yes. Serious abdominal pain and non stop constipation. Of course both of those are common to MS. The pain being called the MS hug, but from what I've read and been told it comes and goes and last a few days maybe a few weeks. Mine started soon after my 5 days of corticosteroid infusion. Which I...

    The problem with being a cad drafter is you have to have a background of what you are drawing. You can train a monkey to draw and dimesion shit in CAD. $20/hour is pretty low even in the south for someone that knows about what they are drawing and how it will be built. I started as a CAD...

    Anyone dealt with a B12 deficiency? That's the new "theory". I tested really low for it. Apparently B12 deficiency is known as the MS mimic. It can also produce lesions in the brain and back if it's bad enough. It's possible I guess it was low and the lesions were formed by the ADEM which is an...

    I didn't have any traffic for most of the drive. The big drawback was the I-10 bridge in town over the MS river. It would take on average 30 minutes to go 2 miles to cross it. Only part of I-10 between CA and FL where it necks down to one lane exiting the bridge to stay on I-10. If I left at...
