Good Morning or whatever time applies...
Last night was hell for Lady K! You see she has thyroid issues, COPD, severe scoliosis, with a kyphosis. I
She was in excruciating pain all day and her meds weren't as effective probably because of the weather.
She has a lot of such days, but some are more painful than others
I feel helpless because there is nothing I can do to alleviate her pain. It's the worst torture imaginable. She turned down a medication that contains fentayl because she doesn't want to get addicted..
I know I can speak freely here, but I'm sorry to say all this. Thanks for being here for me.

So sorry to hear this. Please remember you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Must not have had Coffman Starters on those.

(Coffman starter is the type of starter we got the phrase "Shotgun Start" from. Literally starting an engine with a shotgun shell).
https://www.theautopian.com/some-pl...s-and-its-exactly-as-cool-as-you-think-it-is/

I'm familiar with those! They're cool!

I've also used the hand-crank inertia starters. You crank em up to speed by hand, then you pull a T handle to engage the starter....
I fkn LOVED working on those old radial engines!

Matter of fact, right now, I wish I was working on an old round engine...
...instead, I'm chasing some electronics gremlin, somewhere between these 3 panels and hundreds of feet of wiring...View attachment 2523384View attachment 2523385View attachment 2523386

Happy Saturday... I'm caught up for the moment
know it won't last
quick catch up
Pulled a Brittany...
looks like this will need to be
Catch Up Part 1

Week two of training in the books. My cat is insanely happy to see me. Time to go to sleep in my own bed.

Remember how you said day 1 felt like sipping from a fire hose? And look at you now!!!

Thank you, Lilianna! This thread is so warm and everyone is so nice. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Friday and winding down nicely for the weekend!

Thanks, QQ. We like it. Nice oasis in the middle of Lit.
It's why we're so protective of the vibe.
Anyone's welcome, but if we're not a good fit, there's eleventy-billion other threads on Lit. Surely one of them will be your true match.

Get a life Greylag!

Case in Point - putting this one on Ignore
Hope you find a thread more to your liking as this one is clearly not a good match for you. Bye now.

West coast US. Where's everyone else from?

Midwest (one word, no spaces)

That's KTITN... pronounced "kitten"?? Yeah, I can work with that

There was a “smoking room” where of course my mom was.

I will always miss my mom, but will never miss the smoking section!!

Not really. It’s so overgrown and mature that it makes a million tiny cherries, like the size of your pinky nail.

Good thing it's so pretty... helps balance all that mess

Wretched cocksuckers!!!

They don't deserve you.
The commune does . . . .

Right? And you'd have help, too!! We would all be pitching in with set up, cooking, cleaning, tear down. It wouldn't be a Potassium Solo.

Of course - she thinks so, too.
She took my spot on the bed where my shoulders go.
It's what she does.

30+ years ago when I had 2 kitties, my boy cat would do the same with my pillow. Once we sorted that out, he'd end up sleeping across my neck. Mind you, he was a 30 pound cat.
(That's a titch over 2 stone or 13 kilos for our UK & European friends)

Wat is better at guiding the missiles than fueling them with want-to.

I'm hearing this from so many people these days!!

In the summer we go play bingo every other week: fundraiser for the animal rescue my wife volunteers for. I've won a few free drinks and food mostly lol

I do that w/ the charity fundraiser Meat Raffle. It's for a good cause. Friends and family love when I win - b/c one of them wins, too, as the winnings are almost never anything I can eat.

I watch my co workers run into traffic all the time.... I used to try to stop them now I am like...good luck

HKU.... Hard Knocks University
EXACTLY!

Situational Awareness

do you offer a remedial class? and is there a discount for café members? asking for a friend... who is me
pays to stay sharp... right, OM?

What if many of us want to watch???

Sign me up! I like to watch.

Yes, I believe some of us are packing cats.

If we're not, we should be
more cats before more cowbell IMO

All of that stuff is much better for the soul than working…
It doesn’t pay the bills as good tho. But maybe we could all live on less…

I can get onboard with minimalism

And today they're like, "What's a clutch?"

They really need to include and in the reaction emojis.

Youth and enthusiasm rarely is a match for age and experience.

Love this story!
Reminds me of:

 

[likes2watchU]

Catch up Part 2

My father told me he saw one of those motorcycles that are an automatic. He was morally offended.

never occurred to me that a motorcycle could be an automatic... I mean, why?
(Factual Note: Never have I ever ridden, much less driven a motorcycle. Had the chance when I was 19 but the driver balked at taking a virgin for a ride )

Hey all! Guess what?
It's fucking snowing again!

*sigh* Of course it is
anyone else subbing "snowing" for "raining" in that Supertramp song? storyline's a bit off track for the post but...

Reminds me of learning to drive and stalling…
My dad: (look of disgust) more gas, less clutch. (This was his stock reply whenever I stalked, which was often in the beginning)

My dad said he wanted me to practice stalling... so I would know what to do when (not if) it happens IRL in the middle of traffic. Wise move, dad. Thanks.

Drove a load to Memphis this morning. Lots of tornado watching going on here.
Headed back to the sticks.

Glad you arrived safely... hoping for safe travels to your next destination, too.

I also like this one (credit to my Lovely Wife)

Indeed! High five and to your Lovely Wife

Always and forever for you Rj... You and Lady K and always in our thoughts and prayers hun.

Don't stress sharing. It's kinda what this thread is for. Good and bad. You have empathetic ears here that aren't judging or rolling eyes.
Keep us informed so we can keep you in our thoughts.

So sorry to hear this. Please remember you are in our thoughts and prayers!

RJ - love and healing thoughts to you and Mrs RJ.
I'll echo the rest - always reach out when you need. That's part of what we're here for at the café like an unwritten rule of the café.

You just reminded me of an old timer (aircraft mechanic) WWII Vet, who pull started a DC-3 engine.
He threw a loop over a prop blade, wrapped the rope around the hub, tied it to a jeep and took off!

They didn't ask "how to" or listen to "you can't"... they just saw the problem and tried a solution, sometimes more than one, to get the job done. We could use a bit more of that POV these days IMO

Must not have had Coffman Starters on those.

I'm familiar with those! They're cool!

I've also used the hand-crank inertia starters. You crank em up to speed by hand, then you pull a T handle to engage the starter....
I fkn LOVED working on those old radial engines!

Turns out I'm familiar, too (from movies and documentaries) - just never knew the name for it.

I'm partial to the classic movies... erm, I guess they're both considered classic now, technically?

And a bit of an info clip on them, too

So, all you nurses out here. What or how do you treat what I'm guessing is Achilles tendonitis.
Trying gentile stretching, light walking right now.

Rest ice compress elevate. Take it easy when painful. Ibuprofen if you can tolerate.... gentle stretching and massage if not painful... I would say if it goes on or worsens make appt with doc to .make sure

I'm not one of the medical members at the café, but I have Achilles Tendonitis and this is exactly what I was going to say b/c it's exactly what my doctors tell me, too. Except I need to self-care without the NSAIDS b/c of other medical stuff I have going on.

My only add... do anything to avoid surgery. I don't want to fear monger, so check w/ your doctor regarding surgery, but IMO PT has much higher odds for success.

Best of luck to you!!

The management was traumatised by bloody Bingo.

People in the US talk about how serious folks take their Bingo. Then I pipe up and say, "Serious Bingo? The US has nothing on Scotland!!" ... and I only played a couple times while I was there. Enough to learn you zip your lip when the game resumes!! That includes whispers... save it for the next break or you may get a special break all your own.

Looks like grey and I have reached out.....
See...we mean it

Thank you @Greylag and @Missk_2022 for taking care of door duty at the café

@missk_ I think our posts crossed!

Good thing we're not working with proton beams

You are the sweet cuppity cake we all love
