yeah i gave up mid book 2

btw I don't recall that being a particularly BAD movie , but I did have a hard time accepting Wallace from the wire as bad ass John Clark.

Assuming you are in a country and can find them (or the high seas!) , this really and it's a murder mystery series set in a retirement home. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/richard-osman-the-thursday-murder-club.14660/

Been a few years but mine was 'sum of all fears'. I'm going to reread it after I finish the new Elon book (ok so far). This is the book version, with jihadis not the butchered to fuck movie with nazis. That's really all I remember. I also recall thinking Rainbow 6 book was a fantastic way to...

To be clear, I meant if it was a viable option, try the shots. They suck , a needle is stuck in your spine and it feels worse than it sounds but it's not as bad (and as non-reversible) as surgery. Also I've had them and it didn't help at all and/or made it worse. If I had it to do all over...

BTW most of what you described is true of everyone you see that's over 25 to some degree or another. In my case, the central canal was too narrow genetically (thanks Obama dad!) so it was a matter of time. There are OTC and script medications that can help , life style changes, yoga, etc. I...

Stomach started giving me problems last Thursday , spent Friday in constant agony , could not move without going into painful cramps. Saturday I was going to suffer through it some more to see if things would get better and remembered this post and went to the ER. Long story short I spent 3 days...

Don't know how it works in Houston but my brother has been an electrician since I hired him green in 1996. Never missed a day of work due to layoffs. I did fire his ass a few times until he learned we were not relatives at work but that was for less than a day each time. I list him instead of me...

Yeah the resistant to roundup thing is why I use a company that has a year no-grow back warranty. It becomes their problem. Also my wife said today she saw something green in the yard this morning and was calling them if it gets worse. I do so love that woman.

oh yeah it's pure kindling

that's sort of a generic term for the type of plants not a specific plant. At least according to wikipedia. I just know they are a PITA. I have 3-4 on my fence line now. I had the yard sprayed to kill vegetation so I don't have to worry about them taking root.

@lurkingdirk so imagine before they all died and blew on top of each other, those were a lush green but thorny. I do not know what they are called but that is exactly the bush I was trying (poorly) to describe.

My 1st full year here I had zero experience and everything was 2 years dead anyway so I did nothing yard wise. We were also trying to get the house renovated as I bought this place from Freddie Mack as-is. Anyhow we started getting all these weird bugs outside and I found out they thrived in...

how to say you don't have experience with tumbleweeds without saying it. Now I'm going to have to find a lot and take pictures.....

My next door neighbor just had theirs removed or I would take a pic. I don't know what it's called but it's a bush that gets GIGANTIC and thick with needles like rose bushes, and live 2-3 years then die and become tumbleweeds. Also in the spring we typically get some rain and everything...

no biggie. Whomever I originally replied to said AZ. Ironically the place had lush grass in the back, a whole garden , bushes, multiple bushes, and a lot of trees. Then it sat empty for 2 years and everything died. I spent as much getting that dead shit out and I did putting the stone in.

No maintenance and my worsening back. I had 2 lawnmowers and 2 weed wackers when we left the south and moved to NV. I gave them all away to our moving guys as I was done with fucking with a yard. Also here in the middle of the mojave desert, it's harder to GROW that leave native. I only spray to...

no HOA no subdivision, I am on an acre and a half of decorative stone. Once a year I pay a company to spray weed killer on the entire property with a year bond if anything grows back and it's worth every cent.

I read 'the stand' while I had a mild flu case and it fucked with me. We didn't know any better at the time but my mother had a 1st edition of that book. Of course it's gone now but still 'it' scared the ever living fuck out of me to the point where I was scared to open doors afraid of a red...

Finished 'Holly' last night. Reading it through I thought it was a rehash but it's King and they all roll together & it's at least easy reading. Then at the end King has author notes basically stating that it's a rehash of a story 'if it bleeds' redone to reflect COVID. There are pages and...

Well another D+ show that makes zero sense , guess it's hate watch time again. Wasn't this episode supposed to be so 'important' that they wanted to show it on big screens? So wtf did I just watch? Me and the wife discussed if we want to renew D+ and both were a firm no.

I have one of their wireless keyboards. Solid build, aluminum slab full keyboard. Like it but charging was PITA. Sometimes it would say it was fully charged then drop to 60% the instant you unplugged it, or if you swapped cables enough it would stay charged for an hour and drop. Got tired of...

Way better game than I thought it would be. Hell of a lot better game than last night's stinkfest

yeah now that you mention it , sure did. Perhaps that is it.

And I've lived in multiple 2 story house/apartments/condos in the US South (Humidity is not your friend) that only had 1 AC unit. In fact, I've never had 2 units that one of them wasn't sticking out a window

I recommend you don't , it's pretty sad and dysfunctional/blamey. I'll probably take another run at it one day. It just didn't 'click' for whatever reason. Hell it took me 3-4 tries to get into Breaking Bad , so that should give you some idea of how stupid I am! LOL

This is me 100%. I'm in the middle of treatment myself. Hope it works out for your sister. Learning the hard way that it makes a lot of things 'make sense' that didn't before and there are kinds that can be treated and you move on (looking more and more like that's what I have). Also, FWIW if...

I'm guessing its the age of the home. Split AC systems for large homes isn't something I remember seeing when I started in the electrical trade. Didn't do a lot of homes though bth.

Problem is the Tylenol, it's in everything. Any source max 3000mg. Don't play with this, Tylenol is no joke at high doses. If her only source of Tylenol is these tablets, she can take 1/2 of one every 6 hours. Hope this helps and hope it gives your grandma some relief.

I bought it at release and have started a game a good half dozen times and just cannot get into it.

/cries in Carolina Panthers another long season. At least the whole division sucks ....... yeah I'll go with that!

Getting weirdly high CPU readings on my gaming rig so I decided to reapply thermal paste this weekend. Now I know why, one of the AIO support bolts sheared off at the nub. Amazon to the rescue at least, new ones will be here Tuesday but I guess BG3 will have to wait. Time to fire up the PS5...

I totally absorbed Seveneves right up to that ending. Then I was Got S8 levels of dissapoint.

yep , for me this will be a dlc + new new game so win/win/win

I bought it at release on PC and played it with a 2080ti w/ no issues. Played it again a few months ago in a more polished state and still fine. Looking forward to the new DLC for a 3rd go round. After Starfield and Armored Core and BG3 and.......

Mom was a huge SK fan and turned me onto him. Think I've read all the fiction books he's pumped out. I do like the Holly character and the detective books she's been in. The TV shows they made from them, not so much. I do realize I'm forcing myself to read through his political BS but I do like...

Stephen King released another Holly Gibney novel yesterday, called simply 'Holly'. Started it last night, guy cannot help himself with his liberal mask/covid/trump shit so warning about that. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Holly/Stephen-King/9781668016138

EEG came back normal so I guess that means the tumor removal = no more seizures? Last Radiation/Chemo is Oct 10th then I can start putting things back to normal health wise and HOPEFULLY stop taking all these damn pills. My days are ruled by my phone alarm telling me what to take when and with...

Mark of a SW show, the dark side is better organized, disciplined than the 'good' guys.

Yeah I'm 3-4 episodes in season 3 now. I have honeydo chores to take care of today that didn't get done as I'm sitting on the couch watching this show. I'll blame the chemo, it worked last time! Lol
