Are cassette Tapes worth anything? At all? Going through a bunch of my parents old ones to see what they got. They were going to throw them out. I have no tape player...so I don't know why I really wanted to go through them.
Cassettes are making a hipster nostalgic comeback. I still have a ton, lots long out of print. Cant throw away whats still usable music. I bring them to tents only and jam a boombox.
So anyone here have experience with kidney stones? I've had them twice before in my life, but this past week, starting on Monday, has been by far the worst. Pain increased to a 10 on Thursday so I went to an urgent care facility and the doc said absolutely kidney stones, blood in urine, yada yada, prescribed me the happy pills, which of course did wonders, and I have had some pretty severe attacks, where I think the stone(s) are moving. Been doing the urine straining and took the "findings" into the doc yesterday: she only saw under the microscope some calcium "shards." What I have been able to catch with the strainer hasn't shown stones but I may have passed it already.
My question is, for those who could help me (please!), my pain has dropped of considerably last night and today, I am feeling much better, but I still have some side, lower back pain from time to time (managing it well with just motrin), so I'm wondering if this is just residual pain now? Like, "my kidney just went through hell so it's healing" pain or could I still have worse pain yet to come? Anyone have aftershock pain after the stone has passed?
i had four attacks in two years (2010-2012). in april of 2012, i had two in one week, so they made me have a cat-scan. turns out i had one HUGE stone that had tried to come out several times (hence the multiple attacks) but it was too big, so it just rolled back up and continued to get larger. it looked like a small white marble on the scans. i had to have lithotripsy (the sonic waves up the pee hole) and was in the hospital for two days. luckily, i have been ok since then.
my urologist actually says it doesn't matter what you drink, as long as you drink a TON every day. he said obviously i'm going to tell you water is best for you, but as long as you are drinking around 100oz of liquid a day, that should help. he said there is no evidence that certain things such as soda give you kidney stones and that most everyone gets them for different reasons.
haha that probably doesn't make you feel any better.
Well, it was a repeat tonight, from September 14th, if I remember right. P.O.S. did for for sure ruin The Current. Tonight's replay was "Epic Songs". Queen, Guns and Roses, Big Boi, The Mars Volta, Outkast, and Yes, plus more. Public radio works.
Is it weird I have watched nearly 2 hours of Sponge Bob this morning?
That is a rhetorical question and the answer is obviously no.
Man those are the best kind of mornings. I love Sundays. Make myself a big breakfast, drink a bunch of coffee, and watch cartoons all mornings. And there is never anything weird about Spongebob, it's the best.

Yeah, I'm thinking that I'll be getting the c-scan done here as soon as I a) can afford it on my own or b) get my insurance figured out (thanks Obama! and Highmark for making everything an utter mess right now). My pain is gone today but still...

OMG THIS!!!
I have no affiliation with these people and today is the first I'd heard of it. It's a pen that can draw working circuit traces on regular paper. Oh my inner nerd! It's like the first time I knew I was gonna "Get lucky"!! The creative artistic possibilities and seriously cool shit that can be dreamed up are mind boggling! Just watch the short video demo. I'M SO HAPPY!!

So today I was stretching after my run and I got made fun of... by 7 high school kids sitting on each others laps in a Geo Metro smoking a joint and blasting Drake.
INGREDIENTS: 1 gallon snow 1 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups milk
DIRECTIONS: 1. When it starts to snow, place a large, clean bowl outside to collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste, then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency. Serve at once.

The perks of being a culinary student: Cake for breakfast. Because your baking class made like 10 different kinds of cake this morning and all were delicious.
Snow cream was a nice treat when I went to school in New Hampshire. Unfortunately the necessary ingredients are in short supply here; however, my uncle was in the Snowy Mountains last week and said there's still snow on top of the mountains, mere weeks away from summer.
I swear, the only reason Mark Twain made his famous quote about the weather in New England is because he never travelled to Australia.
