That's good but I hope they don't turn them off or erase them like they do sometimes on dash cams
Ya.. I think the rules coming out will be that they can get fired for turning them off (Like a recent cop in the news :rolleyes:), or, make them on all the time. The batt life and capacity are there to just leave them on, so its a no-brainer.

That really does suck:(
I'm sorry to hear that.
It scares me I don't want to be disabled or in a fucking wheelchair and I honestly don't know what's causing it

Hopefully just temporary, like maybe you slept in an awkward position (?)

I think that because I know that many mouth breathers actually seem to have no choice but to be mouth breathers is why I almost feel bad or question myself when it comes to poking fun at it.

But the ones who are physically and mentally capable of actually not being a mouth breather and continue to be mouth breathers are the ones that (I'm sorry just being honest) really get under my skin and make me want to get as far away from them as possible because my skin is crawling off my bones because your mouth breathing the same general air that I'm breathing and I'm going to lose my mind if you don't shut that fucking fly trap of yours.

yeah, I'm probably a dick.
Great! Now I feel like a useless scumbag AND I'm gonna die.... Good thing I'm cleaning my guns right now.. Saves me the trip.

My husband is a mouth breather but you can only tell when he's eating or sleeping and it's really annoying

It really is. I love taking care of the horses. It's a lot of work but they are very tame and easy to manage and inspire peace. But I like the city too. I like not having to walk two miles to closest seven-eleven.
If you have a 7/11 anywhere, you are NOT in the country ;)

All the way down from my back to the back of my thighs to back of my calves to my heels it kind of feels like leg cramping

LOL, well, that may be true, but when you're on this farm you wouldn't know the difference. It's seven miles to the WalMart, two miles to the seven-eleven and about three miles to the nearest little Mexican grocery store. I don't own a car anymore, it's just too much of a hassle in the city, so when I house sit out here I have to hoof it anywhere I go. At least there is a pretty fine liquor store next to that seven-eleven and that, my friend, is my saving grace.

In other news...

Having a frustrating day. My POS HP Pavillion laptop is being a 'lil bitch and won't boot now...I reckon the HDD is finally going bye-bye.
Mint 17 booted on USB works, but the damn Broadcom 1433 chip isn't being recognized and I can't remember which driver package it uses OTTOMH. I know you have to disable the default then install the RIGHT one though...Bah.

So, I made a large Pile 'o Breakfast today....



Stuff:
Diced potato, some onion and chile peppers, couple of diced (tiny) brekky sausage patties, three smallish eggs, cheese, seasonings and some broken-up biscuits.

No, I'm not eating even a 1/4 of it today.
I prefer making a bunch and having leftovers for an EZ breakfast later on. It keeps in the fridge pretty well for a couple days.


On the good side:

My FT order is heading out of China shortly....I got one of the last Erls before they took them down cuz of S&D orders. Whew...

Oh, and I got Neat Things from the Mex store:



  • A delicious WA state Habanero Hard Cider...all organic.
  • Some new chips that are excellent. Almost like kettle chips, but not as hard and more light and crispy. Yummy.
  • They stock Chipotle Beef Sticks. Only 99 cents each and not the kind you can squeeze fat out of..it's meat. ;-)

Yeah but back in the city the distance to everything is measured in feet, so it's all relative. I literally have two different liquor stores about a hundred and fifty feet away from my house in different directions and a CVS about an eighth of a mile away, with an entire boulevard of businesses less than a half mile away. So you can see from my perspective, I'm deep in the boonies right now.

Oh, I was supposed to go with Uncle to JCP to check out the big sale they are having.
25-40% off plus we get another 25% off for my gramma's retired employee discount...fun!

Alas, I woke up to it having snowed, then sleeted than repeated a few times. It's literally a skating rink out there right now. We have a freezing rain advisory too.

He ain't gonna be driving anywhere and I don't blame him.

Well its starting to look like it may be a staph infection they did an ultrasound to check for Endocarditis and a broncoscopy. May have been caused by the tubes they put in about a year ago for the plasmapheresis. Those are now coming out. I really hate the waiting game but atleast they are working quickly to figure it all out.
