Ok I went to the Doctor today, I got Myself weighed, twice, the 1st is ridiculous, the 2nd was 416lbs, My ribs are ok, Doc said if they were fractured when He pushed on them I'd have hit the ceiling, so it's a mystery, I was told to just grin and bear it, then My insurance for some reason won't pay for more than 30 days of a prescription on one type of pills, terbinafine, but I did get the pills, got to talk to IEHP on that...

This Earth man's lifestyle seems to be coming together. On Tuesday, the new credit card came. Also, I got a 70% on my CPAP printout for the last 30 days, which got me my DOT card. With that in hand, I went back to the new job. They said to come back Wednesday for training. I did that, concluding with practice driving in Clearing Yard. Now I'm just waiting for the background checks. I should hear in about a week.

Some of the people here just might be able to take advantage of this. The National Park Service Life Time Senior Pass. Price goes up Monday from $10 to $80. If you are 62 this is a great deal. I have had to pay for daily passes that have cost me much more than $10 each time. Sucks being young :-) |

I've had my senior pass for years, it was possibly the biggest bargain of my life. |

Recently we had "smart" locks BRICKED by firmware/software updates (see post# 1883732).... now we can add some "smart" TV's in the SAME category too! Nasty firmware update butchers Samsung smart TVs so bad, they have to be repaired On the plus side, at least they didn't explode Owners of Samsung smart TVs say their swish sets are basically unusable after a bungled firmware update. |

Well at least they did not gold plate everything. No TRUMP on the front of the building. I think you might already know that answer. No word on a fix that I'm aware of. It is probably still on the future list. |

Got no mail yesterday, so the COBRA insurance is still pending. It's supposed to be retroactive, but I don't plan to test that unless it's an emergency. They did cash the check I sent them for the first partial month. Need to ask the new job what they offer; paying the full price for the COBRA is way too much beyond the end of this year. Got an email from the new job with an extra online training thing I had to do; did it.

Well at least they did not gold plate everything. No TRUMP on the front of the building. Yes, the tv works well enough, the led backlighting is a no worse than before, the replacement power board has not been repaired yet, I've been busy, lately with surgery, My car, the power board will get repaired and then swapped, just not today, I have the manufactured home to work on next, specifically the gas central furnace for heat, then property taxes, then 2 plumbing issues, then electrical, then I can get to the TV power board. If I were rich, everything would be solved, months ago, but I'm not, I never have been, and I never will be rich either. So I just keep plugging away at it Chris S. It's not like I can go pan for gold, the nearest river near where I live at is underground. So I'll get there, I just have many miles to go, before I sleep. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

I just got a phone call from someone, I knew it was a solicitation because of the pause after I picked up the phone. After the other person spoke I said " FBI, agent Treger" . He replied " Not a problem, I'll put you on our do not call list". One small victory for mankind. |

Zebrafish are getting themselves high — and that could help us develop new addiction treatments When given the chance, zebrafish willingly dose themselves with opioids — even putting themselves at risk in order to get their fix. |
