Housecats have absolutely no class. Thank God they can’t use the internest because we’d be all like DOOOOOMED* and stuff – the only thing you could Google would be Norsk Skogkatts, YouTube would have only one music video, and they’d likely crap all over The Overnight Open Thread.

we are doing very well. how is the mrs’s
you can hate the rap, just know FAST time is brain
@ coldwarrior:
Rap makes me feel like I’m having a stroke. But seriously. I’ve had exactly 3 migranes in my life -- the first at about age 15 and the last about 25 years ago. Each time I described the symptoms that I was experiencing, the people around me, including my parents, thought I was having a stroke. I remember that the splitting headache was on one side of my head and I felt a numbness in my arm on the opposite side. Also tunnel vision. Very strange.

Hmmm. Thanks for the link, but I’m more inclined to think that what I had were migraines as they happened at ages 15, 23 and 35. I’m not even sure about the last one but I distinctly remember the first 2. The only thing I could do was lie down until it went away. I’m not diabetic. Maybe I should drink more. Ya think?
@ huckfunn:
I very occasionally get these things called “cluster headaches” that make me feel similar. They put me on my back.
The only thing that I’ve found that helps them is ergotamine tartrate, and you have to ask for it because it’s pretty tightly controlled due to the ergot I suppose.
@ huckfunn:
The tunnel vision, was it accompanied by a strobing sensation, as if you were looking through the blades of a big slow-turning fan?
Any sense of dread or foreboding? I had a few anxiety attacks, and that’s how they played out. No headaches, though.

psylocybin works too, prolly better than the ergots

@ Bumr50:
Thanks for the info. I’m lucky that I’ve only had 2 or 3 migraines, and I’m not even sure of the last one. Regularly occurring migraines would be a helluva a think to have to deal with.

That makes sense. I can remember the 2 that I had and they were totally debilitating. Nothing to do by lie down and hope that it will go away or hope for death. Either would be acceptable.
Here is a re-post from an earlier thread. A real fast ride. Be sure and go to full screen.
And with that, I’m done for the day.
@ huckfunn:
i never had one of those. i do know two people who could see them coming and have to take the meds and just lay down and wait. i cant imagine living like that

One of my brothers had a KZ900. I think that it was the fastest production bike at the time, about 1977. I drove it a couple of times… unlimited torque. The primary reason that brother is still alive is that the bike was stolen and he had no insurance.

i desperately miss my bike.
desperately. but i wont get another because that fire breathing monster became too slow for me. that next morning i sold it.
these are like a great drug habit. until one day you either meet your maker or rational thought takes over.
see, harley owners dont have this problem.
@ coldwarrior:
When I sold the Caddie I fully intended to buy a bike. My neighbor 2 doors down is a retired full bird colonel who used to drive Cobras in Nam. He’s now about 77. About 6 years ago he bought some hotass Kawasaki, put about 8,000 miles on it and he hasn’t been on it in about 3 years. He wants to sell it. I could probably get that sucka for about $6k.

Damn near like sex. At any rate, a couple of months ago that neighbor came by when I was out at the mailbox. He was driving a canary yellow Boxter. I haven’t seen him since, so maybe I’ll wander down there and see if he still has the bike. I’ll take some pics.

he is for EKG, MRA MRI EEG and speech in the AM. with neuro workup.
i am very familiar with indian food and culture so he felt comfortable with me. before i left for the day i went into his room to check up and he was all ‘my friend’ a ‘good man here’. i was kind of embarrased by the praise. the work doenst start till tomorrow…and i wont be there.

@ coldwarrior:
Are you seriously golfing with Donnie Iris???
@ coldwarrior:
You found a way to make him feel comfortable -- he was expressing his gratitude. You will get used to it.
And, we are back to what I warned you about a few weeks ago.
In your line of work there is a very fine line between separation of church and state.

Well, the coach of my local high school team is the beer truck man at every swim meet.
I don’t like him very much. It took me six years to find his truck hidden away in the parking lot at swim meets.

Okay, that was slightly related, not on subject. Since we’re not building new nuke plants, who really gives a crap?
