My kind of thinking.Just call me Darth Chocolate.
It'll melt. I already thought of that. I'll just have to eat all of it so I won't be tempted.
Evidently I can't either!!!!
Oh! I know! I know! This is one of those 40 mm Mason's right?
That thing has the diameter of a dinner plate! I have nothing I can mount it on without overhang except my stove. Actually, I probably have saute pans smaller than that.
What did you mount it on to try it?
Got 2 boxes of dark chocolate covered cherries yesterdayI can't resist chocolate no matter how hard I try!
They cover those in chocolate now?Got 2 boxes of dark chocolate covered cherries yesterday

I love Raisinets. Chocolate covered raisins!!!!Got 2 boxes of dark chocolate covered cherries yesterday
It's not the Mason and it's 24mm wide at the base, edging out to 25mm. The 44.2mm is the height without the drip tip.
Just run out of time today and I want to do it all tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Can't stand raisins.
Grapes are good before they get old and wrinkly.
This is late because Lannie and I had to load Helen in the trailer and take her farther into the middle of nowhere to get a much-needed manicure (major hoof trimming). We're back now, but Lannie is beat and lying on the couch upstairs.
Because this was a first for me, I admit that I do not "know" what a heart attack feels like, so I don't even know for sure that I had one. You tell me... you are standing beside the bed after a hard-day of working, taking your clothes off (no Kad, not for THAT reason) and suddenly someone hits you square in the chest with a 10-pound sledge hammer. Your head goes fuzzy and you fall on the bed. As well as pain in the chest, you now also have shooting pains down the left arm. You lie there on the bed with your right hand pushing in on the chest pain, gasping for breath. You can moan a bit, but no way do you have the lung-ability to yell for help. While it feels like it lasted for an hour, likely it was barely five minutes before the pain went away enough to roll over and pull the covers up. You are way too exhausted to try to get back up. I did not even tell Lannie this happened until next morning when I could Google the symptoms and find out what it was that happened. Mayo Clinic and National Institutes of Health, WebMD, etc., all told me I had a heart attack. However...
ER at the VA (Ft. Meade, Sturgis) did X-rays, CAT scan, pee in the bottle, take more blood than I wanted to give and many hours later the ER doctor (a general practitioner - it is Friday night and the VA keeps no specialists on duty during a weekend) decided he could not interpret all this well enough, so he put my ass in an ambulance and sent me to Rapid City Regional Hospital where a real live cardiologist could check me out. They kept me Saturday, Sunday, and most of Monday. More pee in the bottle, more vampires sucking the rest of the blood out of me, more CAT scans and a special session with a heart camera (they inject you with some crap than makes your blood vessels glow then squeeze you tightly while the camera goes around you to take pictures inside of you from all angles). That was followed by a stress test, then more heart pictures. Their final analysis? There is absolutely nothing wrong with my heart - it is perfectly healthy. So if that wasn't a heart attack, what was it? They have no clue. If there is nothing wrong with my chest, why am I now out of breath, sweating and dizzy after walking only 100 yards? They don't know, but suggest I have a follow-up with my primary-care-physician ASAP and another CAT scan in six months.
After three days with no vapes, all my juices tasted terrible. Now, three days later, they are barely tolerable. Makes me kind of wish there was a cigarette somewhere in this house. Oh well...
Apparently nothing, other than to have me come in for occasional CAT scans, more blood tests, more urinalysis, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

I think I saw someone showing that. Had a 9.5 mm deep well if I remember correctly.
Now is the time to get into lung hitting on Lannie's Boreas....I know I know, is there anytime that I don't push the darkside on people, the answer is no. Those lung hits are good for youThis is late because Lannie and I had to load Helen in the trailer and take her farther into the middle of nowhere to get a much-needed manicure (major hoof trimming).

Pushing my worry aside, I make jokes, it's how I deal with shit.
Take care.

Well that all sounds nasty. Glad the heart tests show everything is working fine. I'm sure it's frustrating not knowing what caused that, but it's good to hear your heart is fine. Are you still out of breath walking 100 yards?
Yes, and sweaty, and fuzzy-headed. Sounds kind of like someone who smokes too much, huh? But the butts have been gone for absolute ages and I never had that problem back then. Can I blame it on VG?
Oh well...
I usually just wipe and flush.
You can't tell they are old and wrinkly because they are covered in................CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!
Geez, that sucks. Try a lung hit like Rixy said. I hope they find out what's causing you all this grief soon.Yes, and sweaty, and fuzzy-headed. Sounds kind of like someone who smokes too much, huh? But the butts have been gone for absolute ages and I never had that problem back then. Can I blame it on VG?
Glad Helen's hoof is fixed now. That should be a load of stress off you all's shoulders.
Thanks Rixsta and everyone that commented!
Hopefully ill get internet setup soon in new place and be able to talk to you all like before once everything slows down a bit!
Got judge to order SIL put in mental hospital for 60 days.
Kinda mixed on how I feel about that....
But overall it is a winner for me and the Wife Unit.

Goobers are delicious peanuts, covered in chocolate too...
I'm sure you feel mixed, but it's probably the best thing you could do for her. At least she will get her medication and maybe they can work out some plan to make her stay on medication even when out of the hospital. Some states have programs that provide for regular visits from a nurse or social worker to assure a person is taking their medications if it's under a court order.

I know they did all kinds of scans, and probably didn't tell you what they were even testing for (what else is new). If you're still feeling lousy, do check in with your regular doctor and make them go over all the test results to be sure there's not something other than your heart that caused this.
This is exactly my plan. Plus, I have discovered I can access (via my computer) copies of all those scans and records (at least until the end of this month), so I will print them out, highlight my questions, and put them in front of the doctor's face as soon as I see him. Clearly there is something they are over-looking or ignoring. Sometimes the research I do on my own provides clues that the doctors fail to see. Time will tell...
Looks like that she will become a Ward of the State.
that means only 1 goes down instead of 3 of us.
Have to protect the wife unit.
Oh I know. I love those too!
That's great Croms!!!
It's 6:20 and All is Well.................G'evening folks hope all is well.
OK, dark chocolate covered cherries added to the list.

I'm actually not fond of either. I only had the Jingle going through my head. Did you know those were the first chocolate candy you could pour? Simpler times. I had a paper route. They were marketing directly AT me..
Absolutely no more catheters! They did that to me as a brain surgery procedure back in 1999 (tube went in femoral artery at crotch, through heart to brain) and the post-operative fountain of blood in ICU recovery sent me into another NDE. If they hadn't been watching me via CCTV and saw the blood spray in the air, I would be dead already. In any case, the glow-in-the-dark chemical they pumped in me for the heart camera shots this past weekend showed there are no clots/blocks/restrictions at all (or so says the report I took home with me).

My heart attack was relatively easy to diagnose...they took blood every hour which showed the cardiac enzymes were decreasing, plus the strip from the EKG and the heart monitor they put me on showed I had a classic case of afib. My heart, even now when I'm really stressed will race, then it will skip beats, slow beats, skip beats and then back to racing. As long as I try to stay calm and not allow myself to get really stressed out and take my meds, I'm good. I've gone almost 9 years without a major episode. Lately though, I've noticed that my chest will hurt and I'll get a little short of breath but it doesn't happen often.
They took so much blood that I thought I might be dry before they released me. They also had me on a portable heart monitor 24-hours a day all the time I was there (I assume it was a wireless transmitter - I dropped it while in the bathroom and the battery fell out and an alarm went off at the nurses' station). I have no Afib issues, though I have long had a slight murmur, but they do not consider that significant. I still have a slight chest pain (like someone wrapped a belt around my chest and tightened it too much) which might account for my shortness of breath from any exertion whatsoever (guess I just have to do everything a tad bit slower). They prescribed no drugs of any kind, which goes well with their claim that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my heart. So why do I still have pain? Dunno... more research to be done...
Infection in the sternum?
I still had to do the proprietary stress test afterward and some other kind of test in which I had to lie on a table while they did ultrasounds of my heart. After that was done, I had to get on a treadmill like I was doing another stress test. When I reached the point that the doctor wanted, I had to jump off the treadmill and quickly lie back down on the table for another ultrasound. That test, whatever they were looking for, was fine too.
Well, they pumped three different kinds of antibiotics in me while I was there, which apparently did nothing, though over the three days of my captivity, my fever did come down from 104.0 to 97.4 ("normal," for me, is 97.8 - not the traditional 98.6).
Yeah, they did that to me too (minus the ultrasound - just tons of wires), which seemed to be the clincher that my heart is OK. How is it, I wonder, that I had no [additional] pain from the stress test but can't walk to the barn without pain? This is just way too weird....
That is odd that you're still having pain but nothing wrong with your heart. They sent me home with a prescription for nitroglycerin pills if I needed them but I never did and actually wound up throwing them away. I was given 4 on entrance to the ER and boy did they give me a massive headache.
It really is! Up until recently, I hadn't had any pain at all and I'm convinced that mine was nothing more than slight indigestion.
They gave me two nitros while I was there and neither one of them did anything at all. But then again, I rarely respond to homeopathics...
Well, time to check for wayward kitties, then put my tired old butt to bed. G'night all...
that is my absolute favorite candy/cake flavor combo.......Cept I prefer milk chocolate. well at least I think I do......never had dark chocolate ones. I couldn't stand dark chocolate up til a couple years ago.
no yur not!! heheheh
Rich, I really hope they can figure out what is wrong! I'm assuming some of what they did is = to or better than an EKG?? The cardiac enzymes from blood work taken at the 2nd place, likely wouldn't be all that accurate as the ones at the VA that the guy couldn't read. And I'm sorry, they have woken up specialists when needed when daniel's gone to the ER at the VA and it was necessary.
((((((((Mikey))))))))) so sorry bout your cousin!! Hope you get the net set up soon........miss ya!
It's a good thing hun!! She's not able to maintain herself. It will be a blessing for her to be a ward of the state. She'll definitely get her meds everyday which will make her feel better! She might even get to a place where she truly realizes she needs em and never wants to be off em again. I think this finally happened with my nephew. He was so far gone, that he got very belligerent and unsafe. At one point they had to do a take down on him.......he's such a sweet gentle guy and that really freaked him out. He remembers it, and when he came home, we were able this time to help him see that the reason it happens is when he goes off his meds. That one scared him enough, and he finally believed us about the meds that he's been taking them faithfully on his own for awhile now! Even when he's sleepin, he gets up and takes em now when the alarm goes off. Praise God! Hope it stays that way
Is this part of why you've been feeling very out of sorts? Please take care hun.......get checked if you need to.
Jup Nitro does give horrible headaches.
Howdy darlin!!!
I am glad for your son, but hope you don't lose yours unless something better is waiting in the wings! Or perhaps your health depends on it.
well of course you did!! Would have been a horrible waste to buy it and never eat it. I asked Daniel to check out the marked down chocolate.........he said nawwwww faith has a huge bucket of candy and it's got chocolate in it, and she'll never eat it so you can have it. (I have yet to see this bucket)
Meeeeeeeeeeee Either!!!!!!! If it's here, I'll eat it all!
you want a broken window???
Just over at her folk's house. But..........my puppy is home!! yay!! Imma happy debadoo again.
He's snuggled up with me, sleepin with his head on my leg

Very nice!Not forgot about the RDA ......So much to get through today ..

I remember those commercials. They had them at drive-ins too!
Postless deck is so easy to build on, beautiful NI80 Alien Claptons, these would never fit in the normal deck, not a chance.

Delay with the RDA as when I got home, I had the two post design (with two holes) but I wanted the velocity style deck version. Apart from that they are the same.......Just makes it a little more of a pain to build on. So when you see it, remember you can get the velocity style deck if you prefer it.
Build and review later.....Back to the supreme now.
Busy day lol

Nice gunmetal finish (or at least it looks like that in the photo). I never had a postless deck, but seeing that Alien Clapton build on it makes me see the benefit. In that box of goodies that came with it, it looks like there.s a single coil adapter plug in there. Do they supply one? I'm not sure this is the kind of tank where that would be something you would even want to use one.
And stop holding back on that RDA! There are enquiring minds here!
Morning Lynn, what am I chopped liver?Morning Rixy, Atcha and Deb!
Morning everyone else to follow!
