Not much better up north.

I have a friend who blew two tires, wrecked two rims, and did a several thousand dollars worth of suspension damage in in about 0.345 seconds!

Is there any way to get recompense when this happens?

 

[Lilianna23]

Had to take more pain meds..... then a coughed... thank god i splinted the area..... ouch

That coughing will hurt. Uses all those stretched out muscles.

 

[Lilianna23]

Ok no more coughing . Hope you get more rest and feel better

Oh, no. Coughing is good for the lungs. We MAKE patients cough post surgery!

My dad and brother tried that on me. Called me back outside after I had been asked to run some errand.

Got me all nervous when they asked if I knew what I hit. Then had me come around to the front and look at the grill.

I took one look and almost puked.

Me: Really?!?
Dad and brother start laughing

I hit a pigeon

With a 3/4 ton passenger van

I walked away and left them with the cleanup

I jad a cardinal sticking out of my grill... while i was lookin for something to detach it. My mom ruched down grabbed it pulled it out bare handed... like a boss she is

 

[Missk_2022]

This dude is every stereotype known to man…

You betcha

 

[Missk_2022]

You're a brave soul! There's only one of my sisters I would trust with my wallet!

I'm glad you're getting up and dressed. Walking a bit in the house will be good for you. Until that gas gets absorbed, you're gonna feel a bit tender.

She wouldnt take from me. She is honest. Just sort of a selfish flake

Wife did that once. It was the carcass on the road I had been avoiding all week. Ont trip to town she had a flat.

Her: "I don't know what I hit"
Me: (while plugging tire) "I do".

She is the most amazing woman I've ever met. However she's not good at avoiding road hazards. Take the good with the bad, I guess...

We're to the point we can laugh about her inability to dodge anything on the road.

My late wife and I felt the same way about each other. We both had our faults. When you have respect and love you laugh and hug when the other messes up.

You two have something special.

 

[Missk_2022]

Night all
I was feeling better now i dont

 

[Lilianna23]

I am fine .. it was in the dark and wet road so just didn’t see it on an unlit country road

It must have been a shock to hit it!

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Not a fan of waking at this hour. The dog had to go out but I was already feeling the need to wake and walk around. I have and waiting for both of us to get sleepy again. And we will.

Is there an old age meme about waking at strange hours?

 

[Lilianna23]

Actually... it's SOP for the human brain...
Not marriage related
Not gender related
However YMMV applies

The gist:
The brain is focused on execution and sequencing of actions to interact with the environment effectively.

When you hear a negated statement (e.g., "Don't touch the stove"), your brain initially imagines the positive action ("touching the stove") and then has to deliberately suppress or reverse that idea. This extra "reversal process" takes more time and cognitive effort compared to processing an affirmative statement ("Touch the handle").

Maybe the affirmative statement is causing her to overcorrect, thus missing the pothole?

Or I could be full of and

You're not wrong, Likes! When you say or write "don't" or "not," the brain tends to negate the "not." It’s why ppl are less likely to contact if "Do NOT hesitate to call..." is written or said. They see or hear, "DO hesitate to call..."

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Well the old dog is snoring. My body got the hint. See you in the diner later.

 

[Wonderer67]

She wouldnt take from me. She is honest. Just sort of a selfish flake

But also as reliable as a rain dance.

 

[Wonderer67]

Arright. Gonna try to seal some zzzzzs.

Just finished a book: Gods Lonely Men.

 

[dkak001]

Do you get the blood letting?

Not yet. It varies seasonally.

We're trying to sort everything out still, but for me it's a really good proxy for inflammation. The root cause is suspected to be reactions to things.

 

[dkak001]

Is there any way to get recompense when this happens?

Usually not. In this case the insurance did kick in.

 

[Boat1]

Hiccups are weird too makes my shoulder hurt... i need to stop whining... there are a lot of others that have worse pain than i do... and i can walk around and take care of myself

You're NOT whining, you're sharing how you're feeling, post-op, which I care about and wanted to know.

 

[Boat1]

What a week.

I feel like I earned my paycheck. I usually do. Maybe I feel like they worked me like a rented mule.

I fell asleep at 8 and woke up at 1030.

—————

Mrs wonderer is everything I am not when driving: kind, patient… I guess I am too… I just hate all other drivers.

She taught me the the art of fellowship on the road.
———
Tons to do this tomorrow. Picking up a trailer, then cleaning out all of our pumpkins for pumpkin smooshing and shooting over Christmas or for deer bait.

Shotgun season starts next week. Then muzzleloader. (Can’t use rifles in NJ)

Then I gotta help a friend cut up and move a tree.

I gotta do some Christmas shopping
Take care of a few lingering chores

I'm somewhat of a "passive driver" but I still get lots of cramps in my middle finger.

Yeah, the recliner in the lounge does that to me, after my shift and a meal.

That's beautiful and spot on!

New Band Name: Slay the Weasels
I would go to see them play.
Prolly at some dive bar over near @Wonderer67 's stomping grounds

Do you know when they're playing? I'd go with you!

 

[Lilianna23]

Coughing is the WORST!... I remember it after my hernia surgeries...

It hurts but it's really necessary.

 

[Missk_2022]

Me too...

 

[Missk_2022]

Well 3am club stricjs again. Up to go to bathroom.....

 

[Lilianna23]

She is the most amazing woman I've ever met.

I love this, DKA!
