GoCommiesGo Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I had ACL & LCL reconstruction done end of January this year, 14 years ago I had ACL reconstruction and some meniscus repair on my other knee. I was 26 the first time and 40 now. It's crazy how far medical recovery has come in that 14 years. I'm 8 weeks out and walking with a limp without crutches, the first time I was still on crutches and working on weight bearing. I'm floored with how fast and how much smoother this has been especially at an older age and being less active prior to surgery. I'll be able to resume light cardio in another four weeks and back to full activity six months from surgery. The first time it was one year to full activity, medical improvements are neat to see in places you don't really think of them. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank has to issue another card, and my Chewy and phone bill were in the mix. I ****ing hate this. Time to be creative, get cash and a "gift card" to pay **** by phone. It's just a little humiliating. I'm normally flawless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with gift cards. The info on the card is easily stolen while it's still hanging in the store. Then when it's activated by you the card is available to the peeps with the card info. My SIL got my wife one for Christmas last year. When my wife went to use it it had $0.28 on it out of $50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also may be the most financially literate people I know, and their PenFed card got compromised like 4 times in the span of six months. It happens, it's just super inconvenient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This tweet is hilarious and the preview here doesn't do the photo justice. 20 hours ago, The Evil Genius said: I'm old but I've never gotten back into vinyl. Nor do I really care too. For those who do/are...what am I missing? Vinyl is fun. I've got my collection to a point where I'm pretty satisfied with where it is, I've got most of my favorite albums and don't really need anything else. People love to talk about how it sounds better. I'm not an audiophile but they do sound really nice. But for me, a large part of it is being able to listen to a whole album completely without skipping around from track to track. Yes, you CAN skip tracks but it's kind of annoying to do so, I'd rather just listen to the whole thing instead. Plus the albums themselves are like pieces of art, it's nice to have something big and tangible to look at. While my collection is pretty strong, it's also nice to go flipping through records to see what else is out there. I bought a used John Lee Hooker album for like 7 bucks on a whim last year, turns out it was fantastic. I wouldn't have come across it any other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of amazing an old technology seeing a renaissance. Vinyl outsold cds last year, for the first time since the late 80’s. Also, think today’s vinyl are better made.

abdcskins Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Well it has taken me almost 5 years, but I finally saw my first client for a session yesterday. Felt good. He's an 8 year old kid in South LA. Hoping this internship goes well and I can earn all my hours somewhat quickly and without any drama. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 And after all the bank card hoopla, now I've got a very big nail in my left rear tire. The tire store across from the job has free air and I got home, but I see a new set of tires in my near future...that's a grand I didn't plan on spending this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbyrwock Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 In the settings menu of my android messaging app there is an option to "enable delivery toast". I could google it, or even make an edumucated guess, but I will choose to believe that if I click to enable an amazon drone will fly by my house and shoot pieces of toast at me. ...given that belief, I am now looking for the "enable delivery rum" setting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will assume that Amazon will deliver me a glass of bourbon, and the driver will also have one,* and when he hands me mine, he’ll clink my glass and say “to PB!” *I’m not saying it’s a good idea.

Max Edward Hartley — an Ohio resident visiting the Fort Lauderdale area — was arrested and charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and a count of abusing an elderly or disabled adult after lunging at the musician “at a full run” while outside of the Four Seasons hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
