May 27, 201313 yr (waves in a generally Northerly direction at Mike) Sympathies, Nate. You know it's a crystal, and some success has been had with soundwaves tuned to the resonant frequency? Might be worth a DIY shot, it should be completely harmless, since there are no natural crystals as part of the human makeup.
May 27, 201313 yr Oww absolutely terrible! Nate, my sincerest wishes to you for a speedy, smooth, and painless recovery! edit: water everyone water! Edited May 27, 201313 yr by Nanoha
May 27, 201313 yr Oh, Nate, I don't even have words for how awful that sounds. Good luck and less pain. Looks like fun, Mike, except your facial expression in the first pic made me think the kid might have just farted on you. Enjoy your trip.
May 28, 201313 yr Nate: So so so sorry. Tim had a kidney stone a few years ago (the day before our vacation to San Francisco) and it did not look fun. I remember very vividly taking him to the ER, his blood pressure around 185/? and throwing up from the pain. Did you get any Flomax? Hope it passes quickly and as painless as possible. Love Mike's facial expression in the first pic. Tim and I did some work on the house (installed a new light fixture on our porch... seems easy enough but these rarely are). Then went for a walk in the park nearby.
May 28, 201313 yr Feel better Nate! Dropped ~1L of fish sauce in my kitchen while cleaning. Now my kitchen smells strongly of concentrated fermented anchovies. I should probably just move.

I should probably just move. wow, you should go to jail for that, that's a superfund violation. Of course, it would have been worse if you'd done it in hoboken in an apartment without air conditioning.
May 28, 201313 yr Nate - wow,awful. Feel better soon! I've known people who put their 'souvenir' in acrylic to be saved as a paperweight memento. Colin - that smell doesn't give you warm feelings of childhood, like it does for me?

Tim and I did some work on the house (installed a new light fixture on our porch... seems easy enough but these rarely are). Then went for a walk in the park nearby. Shelly, somehow my BP remained pretty reasonable despite normally being on the high side. The worst it got was around 150/90 and once I got comfortable was back down in the 130s. And yes, they prescribed Flomax, hopefully that allows the stone to pass more easily although there's limited (if no) science behind that. Looks like you had a nice walk in the park, the weather here today is gorgeous so I'm hoping to get outside for a little while since I've been pain free for about 12hrs. sorry, Nate! did they not offer ultrasound lithotripsy? 4mm is the typical threshold. Their opinion was that anything up to 6mm should pass on its own. I don't know that I support that assumption but we'll see what happens over the next day or so.
May 28, 201313 yr Nate,.. good to hear your pain has subsided! (pain bad!) Pass that sucker and flush it down.
May 28, 201313 yr Tried to build a doll house that we'd gotten for our daughter for her birthday, only to find the damn thing is missing integral parts. This is pissing me off as we had saved this gift (her birthday party was this past weekend) so she'll have something to open/see on her actual birthday (tomorrow). Now I have to pack everything back up into box somehow to either get a whole replacement or have missing parts shipped. Grrrrr.
May 30, 201313 yr Road out this earthquake on the john. I live less than 10 mi from the epicenter. /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ Are you sure it wasn't the jalapeno pepper enchiladas and chili?
May 30, 201313 yr Road out this earthquake on the john. I live less than 10 mi from the epicenter. Shit!
May 30, 201313 yr Totally missed the news. Glad ta hear you didn't tip over Ken! After the Loma Prieta quake (ha ha,.. almost typed quack), I helped some friends up in the mountains cleaning up their mess (they were about 5 miles from the epicenter). It was an old house and the toilet hoped off the floor (water and all) and into the tub. A buddy that was there noted what a convenient set up that was!
May 31, 201313 yr Jacob, I am still waiting for the Rolex and Shigefusa you promised to send me as a birthday present yesterday............jus' sayin' Feel better soon.
June 2, 201313 yr Spent couple of hours tonight building our daughter's dollhouse. Waaay bigger than I'd anticipated and missus was slightly perturbed about the size (I'd picked the dollhouse to buy).
June 2, 201313 yr Helped my son with his Eagle Scout project today, rejuvenating the playground and gardens at the local Ronald McDonald House Charity. We spread 10 tons of pea gravel and 4 yards of mulch, after replacing all the edging. We also painted the railings along the porch and wheelchair ramp. My wife and I feel like we died and don't know it yet. Zombies...
June 2, 201313 yr Went to a farm and daughter heard her first non-mechanical 'BAAAAAAAAAHH.' Face-off
June 3, 201313 yr Gotta love Logitech's awesome customer service: Me: "So I was an idiot and spilled a drink over my keyboard and now a few of my keys no longer work, can I possibly get a discount for a replacement keyboard or something?" CSR: "So you are saying your some of your keys no longer work, is that correct? Let's see if you've done some initial trouble shooting steps, like pressing the keys harder and plugging it into a different machine. Still doesn't work? It sounds like you may have malfunctioning keys. Let's get your product info and a replacement keyboard sent out to you..." Edited June 3, 201313 yr by Nebby
