I do charge mine all night, I wonder if that shortens the battery... Plug it in as I go to bed on the nightstand

Good luck sunshine.

I don't think plugging it up all night hurts the batt..it only takes so much of a charge and the chip in the phone plus the charger itself won't let it overcharge..
I've been charging my phones overnight for years without any issues at all

I charge mine sporadically, which I'm certain is not good for it, but other people who do that seem to still get more battery life than I do.
Good to hear from you. I just hope you are doing ok.Agreed and agreed, @JERUS. Though I came from a wonderful, loving ethnic family who wouldn't let us speak Abruzzese (an Italian dialect, from my ancestors home in the Abuzzo Mountains, in a province called Aquila) around our Irish-Catholic and otherwise American descendants from Jamestown and The Mayflower - you see, my parents grew up during the Great Depression and World War II - when many people were immigrants with polysyllabic last names that ended in vowels. Racism against any Middle-European who wasn't born Stateside was de rigueur at that time. So, that was passed down to myself, and my younger brother from both of our parents of Italian descent. "You're born American, figlio mio. Be one."
The reading of your post, though I'm going-on 26 years your senior, really brought out many truths about my traditional upbringing. From a cat that knows mathematical formulae in Physics. My father had begun his college days as a math-magician at Northeastern. However, he was a super athlete - he eventually became property to the Detroit Tigers, and later, the Chicago White Sox - while serving in the National Guard, he switched his major to Business. With a hefty dose of Baseball. He completed OCS, and went to Germany during Korea as a Lieutenant doing what?
Playing Baseball. He was an XO in Athletics and Recreation, and played for the overseas Army baseball team. He claimed to have fired an M1 carbine at least SIX times during his commission - after all, he was a .397 average switch hitter, who'd been influenced by the keen interest of Ted Williams, who scouted him. He passed in 2006 - cancer. I'm a cancer survivior, too; luckily, they caught mine early. After creating a son and daughter - no more kids, for my marriage that imploded, as my ex remains an alcoholic. I had other bad habits, but was diagnosed a type-1 diabetic around the age of four. More about that later. To @Whiskey, and all here at #2 - my surgery was completed, but, I now have a drain, and lots of antibiotics. I got home just before one. I said, "AMA means two things - the American Medical Association, or 'Against Medical Advice.' My blood sugar is stable. You removed my catheter, while I was still under anesthesia; so, what do I have to do to get dicharged?"
The doctors said that I still had moderate-to-heavy bleeding, and a fair amount of kidney damage, which was irreversible. So - they got some fluids for me to drink, and a light meal to eat, gluten-free, and tasteless. I drank, and ate, didn't get sick, and had a blood transfusion. Vitals were good. They wanted to keep me, but, I gave them all the charm that I could muster:
"I'll rest, take it easy, and after I do my late-night dinnertime insulin, I'll use my lactulose prescription so I won't have have to bear down when I go #2." (That stuff makes laxatives look really weak, though I had to add sliding scale U-100 to keep my BGC in-line.)
I'm here, smiling that I'm home, and grateful to have made it through yesterday's kidney surgery... unfortunately, lithotripsy won't work on three large 8 mm calculi, with more lodged in the ureter. So, out came the fiber-optic cameras, and a robot with very narrow lasers and extractors. According to the operating urologist:
"Between the next kidney, and your gallbladder - on your current diet, you're going to need lots of supplements, because you will lose weight, in a big way. For a man your age, your body mass is average. You can still see your feet, among other things (we laughed). You are disharged, but if bleeding gets worse, go the ER ASAP."
We shook hands, and he laughed. He turned out to a decent person, after all. Oh yes, fellow readers - I've digressed, just to bring everyone up to LW speed
My mother's major was English, at Vassar; then, at U Mass (my alma mater); I majored in English Literature, and minored in Music - yet, I became interested (in the closet; authors like Darrell Huff got my musical math major musical buddies off on finite, to chaos mathematics - so, @JERUS - I'm glad to have met you, albeit in an online setting! My tired left brain may have some hope, yet).
My family had prideful secrets. My mother, an educator, basically (my father's wishes) hid my diabetes from everyone - even though I was in and out of the nurse's office at school.
It was hidden from external family, as well. Many bathroom trips with my mother, until I was old enough to care for things, myself.
Getting molested? It wasn't permitted to be discussed. When I was raped at sixteen, once again - no discussion.
My relative's prison time - not discussed, but he was visited by my mother. I just didn't know about it, and when it happened to me, as a child - those 'kid filters' kicked in.
At the age of 36, my mother's youngest half-sister divulged information about my mother, and the family she had before ours - to my soon-to-be ex-wife, in ten years. I had two half-sisters, and a half-brother - whom I've never met, ever. She gave them up to their father, who was a 'Tony Soprano' in his day. That's how my mother's college tuition was paid. He later died, or was whacked, according to family sources.
My aunt died, in 2000. I didn't go the funeral for her, or her husband (a man from the Western Shore of Virginia, he was in the maritime trades, and he looked like Captain Quint in the 1975 film "Jaws." He was no saint, but he was nice to my brother and I). He passed in 2002.
What my maternal (forgive me) half-aunt did to me - through my wife at the time, who held it over my head to belittle my family was the beginning of my unraveling. Mid-life crisis, my @$$.
For you, @JERUS. You hit the nail, right on the head. I'm so grateful to have @Liz Wonder, as she loves me - warts, and all.
I'm grateful for my psychiatrist, and therapist. I'm grateful for my medical coverage, and chance for a brighter future.
I'm grateful.
LW & Liz

Mornin peeps.
Took the balrog apart to give her a good cleanin. And while I was in there hell, why not tint the screen blue? So I did. And it looks nice. I just wish I could have gotten the board all out of the way. But I didn't want to fuck with the wires that connect to the 510 to much.

They look 100 Times better in person tho.
Lookin good
It's not that hard eaither. The tint is just see through blue battery wrap. Small piece of tape to hold it in place while you screw the cover back on. Then it's just held in place by the screen.
Alright, ima get out of here for a bit. Cya all later
Pete darlin can you send the coffee in an IV? Lol this weather has me all kinds of sleepy

Morning everyone, hope your day has started off well for you.
Morning boys, how are ya?Good Morning my corner family I
California emissions test, ugh!
My sister's Corolla failed a smog test required for re-registration due to a bad catalytic converter..
Can get a direct bolt-in replacement for $375 or get a one for $125 in which I'd have to cut the old header pipe and weld it to the new unit..I need to refill a bottle of Argon to run my MIG gun to weld it..Midas wants $750 to do this job (including new converter)..But I would like to save my youngest sister some money doing it myself as she's on a tight budget going to college looking to become a RN..see how it goes, lol

Look at Rock Auto, good prices on direct fit converters.

Hi Always my friend,I am doing pretty good, How are you today? I sure hope you are feeling much better!!!Morning boys, how are ya?
Big problem is that Cali has different standards and a lot of the converters that work fine in any other state simply won't pass the test in California. Going through the same issue right now.
Wavin back Whis are you back from the Dr.?Waves at Vapin & Jimi
Hi Hank my friend, cheer up it will get better
Crazy rules out here state converters have to be CA approved, meaning sold here locally..Pepboys has the cheapest bolt-in at $375 so far..they also have the one I'd have to weld at $125...

The guy that plowed into my friend's van this past Monday......He dropped his phone on the floor of his car. He took his eyes off the road for a couple of seconds to look down to get it
That's how I had a car crash when I was 18, except I was looking for a lighter.
See, it's true, smoking really CAN kill you,. (no humans were harmed... just a Chevy Nova and a Dodge Dart... both totalled.)Andria
