    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...

    What do you do?

    Is there a site that caters to your field? There's one just for steel detailers, designers, project managers and estimators and I've had really good luck with it thru the years both on job leads and hiring people.

    The Fast Food Thread

    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...

    Health Problems

    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.

    What do you do?

    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...

    Health Problems

    I haven't been tested yet. I go to have the other B12 related test Tuesday. Just went ahead and took a B12 shot since it's cheap when they mentioned it. Lab that does them right here.

    Health Problems

    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...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Keep supporting VW. Without support the Germans won't be able to prop up thousands of Syrians flooding to their country. That's what Jeremy Clarkson said yesterday.

    What do you do?

    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...

    Health Problems

    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...

    What do you do?

    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...

    I didn't know anyone who commuted less than 30 minutes except the shop foreman. His mother in law died and left him a house around the corner. He could have walked to work but he said he was afraid a guy from the shop would run over him lol. I commuted 1-1/2 hours and I would say on average...

    The industry I work in is pretty tight knit. I wouldn't even put by request tho. I just leave it off until they ask. There's a 99% chance anybody they put down they will know or know someone pretty close to them. I've asked for a few of them. I don't really call and ask about soandso. It...

    Glad you are headed in the right direction on that now anyway. I don't think you had any chance of being accused as a Dr. shopper with something like MS. People who shop doctors for disability do so with the disability of the month type of stuff I would think. People with actual debilitating...

    I wouldn't ever stop to eat Mexican food while in the state of MS, which I believe is where he is from. Just like I would never eat "cajun" food while in San Antonio.
