Thank you. However, you've got your facts wrong. It seems that you are mixing 2 separate events years apart. Nothing to hide or worry about as the details were mentioned on both the hospital & PTSD thread. However to clear the air, I gave up driving to provide full time care for my partner as advised by her neurological consultant. I returned to working several years ago only to have that stopped due to a couple of strokes over the Xmas period 2015.

Statistically speaking (according to the neurological consultant that dealt with me), lefties recover much better & faster from strokes with little effects (those that do recover of course). Even now, I often wonder as to why that is.

As for a training role, too long in the tooth for that, besides happy with what I'm doing now.

I wonder how lefties compare to those who are ambi's?

They were referring to left/right brain hemispheres not hands.

They are not separate, since brains control the hands, eyes, etc, etc, etc...

In that case speak to neurologists, they believe differently.

"In general, the left and right hemispheres of our brain process information in different ways. While we have a natural tendency towards one way of thinking, the two sides of our brain work together in our everyday lives."

Guess this fits in this thread/topic quite well...... Just saw it on the news and said to my self "really?????"

Sweaters for chickens: Retirees knit clothes for chilly poultry

Sweaters for chickens? It sounds like a joke, but a plucky group of retirees in suburban Boston has hatched a plan to keep poultry warm during the New England winter.

The unusual project began after members of a knitting club at Fuller Village, a retirement home in Milton, Massachusetts, heard about the hardships that some chickens suffer this time of year.

.... "I don't think in my wildest dreams I ever thought anybody made sweaters for chickens," said Barbara Widmayer, 76, who started knitting when she was 15 years old.

The brain's right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the human body. When you wink your right eye, that's the left side of your brain at work

That is why a stroke on the left side of the brain will sometimes paralyse the right side of the body, and vice versa.

We were told by the stroke Unit at Exeter hospital that once someone has had the first stroke it is quite common to have a second within two or three years, which can often be severer. Happened to my mum 3 years later almost to the month. sadly it was the other side this time which eventually saw her off. The neighbours wife had a stroke and when examined in hospital they found evidence of a minor stroke 2 years before. The husband had just put his wife's behaviour down to old age.

My aunt had a stroke, then less than a few months later the 2nd stroke came and finished Her off. :(

She was 88, and had a pacemaker for Her heart installed years ago by Kaiser.

I wish My mom could have had one, She needed it the Hospital said, then they put Her in a room with no heart monitoring equipment, Her heart stopped, they revived Her, but no one was home anymore. :(

Truck Drivers Win Overtime Pay Dispute Because Of A Missing Comma

A group of dairy truck drivers won a case over about $10 million of overtime back pay in federal appeals court Monday because of one missing comma in Maine’s laws.

The case of truck drivers against their dairy distribution company came down to whether the drivers fell under an exemption written in Maine’s wage and overtime law that says companies don’t owe overtime to certain employees delivering agricultural products.

---

Lmao, further proof that truck drivers are not as dumb as many make them out to be!

That's why legal writing can be so much fun. I had a 2 day trial that turn on a comma. It can really change the meaning of something.

Agreed!

Didn't there used to be something called "within the spirit of the law"

Is this an astounding coincidence or the trial you were involved in?
(You're in Cali; this is about as far as one can get in the same country (Maine) but would have been heard in the appellate court in Boston, so I am guessing the former.)

A class-action lawsuit about overtime pay for truck drivers hinged entirely on a debate that has bitterly divided friends, families and foes: The dreaded — or totally necessary — Oxford comma, perhaps the most polarizing of punctuation marks.

What ensued in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and in a 29-page court decision handed down on Monday, was an exercise in high-stakes grammar pedantry that could cost a dairy company in Portland, Me., an estimated $10 million.

Not related, my case had to do with a house remodel. The terms call for cedar siding and other woods. It was back in about 1983 so I don't recall exactly how it was written, but the builder used pine for the siding and argued that it was allowed under the terms of the contract as other wood. I represented the homeowner and argued that cedar was called out as the primary wood and that "other woods" was intended to allow for trim, door frames, eves, etc. I won.

Nice... and definitely seems like the correct judgment based on your summary. So it was an astounding coincidence after all. (Well at least to me.) :^)

Steinway baby grand found in tip.

Steinway pianos cost up to $80,000 new and $20,000 second-hand.
Musician Wil Thomas said he was "shocked and stupefied" when he took his garden waste to the dump on Sunday and found 16-year-old Tui Warihana playing the baby grand piano.
"It was quite surreal. It was like something out of a Tom Waits video clip," he said.
"There was this very competent musician who was sitting on a pile of rubbish playing what appeared to me out of the corner of my eye to be a broken piano."
Mr Thomas said the Steinway baby grand piano sounded in perfect tune.
"This beautiful sound was coming out this beautiful piano in the tropical hell of the Broome tip," he said.
"I expected to hear this tinkling sound of a broken piano.
"This young guy was playing Moonlight Sonata on this piano, which just sounded heavenly."

Might as well start the weekend with a laugh.

A few years ago we had newspaper headlines stating that a glass of red wine a day prevented heart attacks. Then next year we read that drinking red wine causes heart attacks. Then we had, don't drink coffee it causes stomach cancer, then it was do drink coffee it stimulates the brain. So today we have the down market tabloid UK Daily Express proclaiming all over it's front page that drinking 3 cups of tea a day wards off dementia. You couldn't make it up if you tried!!!

Oh but of course they have covered themselves by saying "COULD cut the risk of dementia, research SUGGESTS". Then we find out that the report assessed 957 Chinese by the National University of Singapore. Hardly likely to be the same for Europeans then is it.

Move on folks, nothing to see here.

Research suggests that drinking a half a bottle of whiskey a day on weekends keeps the spiders away.
I dunno, I was never very scared of spiders and only see them late at night.
I suppose I should let them go upon their way.
Of course, some other research suggests that spiders kill you in your sleep.
So, I gave up sleeping some years ago.
