My birthday is this month and my wife is trying to do a lot of things to make it a very memorable birthday.
We ordered the Buffalo Wild Wings that they use in the super hot challenge, I think it's called “flaming hot”, but I'm not certain, and she ate them! Which is something I wanted to watch her do for years now (because I like watching people eat/cook).
We tried it once at the restaurant, but it's the sort of thing that's easier to do when at home.
Anyway, that was fun! She also let me buy some quail from Dartagnan, we got 4 regular size quail and 2 “European Jumbo Quail”. I'm going to cook them for her, I have a bunch of ideas! She also has a few ideas too, so we'll get 1 jumbo quail each and 2 regular quail. We also got quail eggs! Which she used to make a little cake, more for her than for me because I don't eat.
I still like that she used the quail eggs to make it and I look forward to watching her eat it.
We're also going to order soup on the actual day, I love soup! We'll be buying all the soup one of our local Asian restaurants has, they have wonderful soups!
I've been having a very good birthday-month so far, I'm so lucky!

Happy birthday month
I hope your wife survived the flaming hot challenge
Personally, when it comes to rood I don't think you're missing all that much (though I think some people would kill me for that comment!) For some people it's a passion but for me, I'm not really all that bothered. I'm certainly not going to cook for hours to make something I'll eat in minutes

That's very true! @Elfy??

And yes @kasarberang spicy is most definitely a flavor!?? I love spicy food! As for condiments, I don't really use them. Not that I don't like them. It's just that most of the time I don't see any need for them. I only use them if the food tastes bad, which doesn't happen a lot, if any. When I was in hospitals I hated being hooked up to I.Vs. I couldn't imagine having to do that everyday. Like I said, you have tremendous strength! And I think you dislike most flavors because of your gag reflex, which isn't your fault. Hell, if I was in your position, I would probably feel the same way.??? But I'm glad you at least get a lot of enjoyment out of watching people eat. Ketchup to me is only good on cheeseburgers and meatloaf. Other than that I can't really think of anything else it would be good on, besides fries. But then again it depends on the type of fries. Like curly fries for example. To me, those don't need ketchup.

I don't think covid19 rant topic was a good place to answer that question, so I'll answer it here.
My current profile pic is a picture from a program called "ArtBreeder" which allows you to use online AI to make neat avatars. It's kinda cool. I want to change it to a commissioned profile picture soon, though.

And you officially have a wife. Great job buddy!?? Not many youngsters do at that age. Usually they're off in college getting drunk and partying or having sex. Or just being stupid in general. Congratulations buddy! Like I said before, I hope you're having a happy birthday and enjoying it! Glad to see you got your life figured out at such a young age.?☺️??❤️?

@BabySpiderBoyYep! I have been married for almost 4 years! (it'll be 4 years in March). It was always one of my life goals to be married and independent, never really thought it'd happen so early, either. Things happened better than I could have ever hoped, I'm so lucky to live the life I do. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

I wanted to go see the Bob's Burgers movie in theaters again, but of course it's not playing in any nearby theater anymore. Kind of upset, not going to lie.

@DailyDiI doubt it'd be on Disney+. Disney seems to like keeping their Fox shows separate, the only exception being The Simpsons. Since they own a Majority stake in Hulu, it'd make sense to just keep the Fox shows/movies on there, but knowing Disney, it might be awhile until the movie moves to streaming. I think if they did a dual release like HBO has been doing where the movie is available on a streaming service AND in theaters, the movie would have done much better than it did.
Anyway, I like the movie theater experience, so I'm upset that I won't get that again. I should have caught it closer to its release.

Been using hand sanitizer a lot recently, and I'm starting to feel the effects of it. My hands are getting really, really dry. I found this product on Amazon, which is supposed to be a combination lotion and hand sanitizer, which is nice. So, hopefully, that will help me with my dry skin and also function as a half decent sanitizer.
I used to hate lotion when I was younger, now it's okay, so long as I get something that isn't super greasy.

@DailyDiHand Sanitizer or Hand Sanitizing lotion?

@Jesse The BabySpiderBoyI'm moving this conversation here, as I always feel bad whenever we derail a thread to talk about something unrelated.
To try and answer your question of why other with my condition did not live very long.
Because the level of care required is higher than the standards of the medical industry. They would get infection after infection caused by nurses/doctors not being careful enough. Even I have had many infections due to medical neglect.
When I was 2 I had my last site for my central line to go, you have a certain amount of viable places and all of mine were gone by the age of 2. When that happened my mom learned how to do all my medical stuff and made sure she did things really carefully and really well. She (up until my dad died) had the highest standards as far as my care was concerned. I have gotten very few infections since then. But even my younger sister died from medical neglect. The medical industry is shit, they genuinely don't care and often times do the minimum required to not get fired.
Not everyone is this way, there are a few genuinely great nurses and doctors out there, but they are the exception, not the rule.
You know that saying "Male bullies become cops, female bullies become nurses?" from my experience, that's very true.

It's often not the doctors, but the nurses. And yes, it's a matter of sterility.
Speaking frankly, it's easy for someone to say that they've received only the best of care if the care they receive does not require a whole lot of effort on a nurse's part. It's not hard to say, change a bandage, rotate a patient, give someone medication, take someone to the bathroom, or even to insert and deal with a simple arm I.V. Those things are fairly low risk and require low skill and effort on the nurse's part. I could literally do most of those things myself, no problem.
It's often those require a certain level of care, one that requires someone to actually, well, give a shit. Something that, if messed up, could literally kill the patient. It's those people who receive the shit care because nurses simply don't, they don't care. If the patient dies because they weren't careful, or didn't maintain sterile protocol, they still get their paycheck, they won't get in trouble "oh, he was going to die anyway" they'd say and because the situation was slightly more complex than average, everyone will believe that, yeah they probably would have died anyway.
I have had such a bad experience with the medical industry that I actively avoid telling my doctors things that any normal person would be worried about. I've had multiple issues where I tell the doctors the problem, so then the doctors try and "fix it", usually the "fix" causes permanent problems and doesn't actually fix the original issue. So, I've just stopped telling anyone anything, unless I, personally, deem it an emergency. The doctors aren't as bad as the nurses though, I have had better experiences with them on average (though still plenty of bad experiences.) I think it's because it's far easier to become a nurse than a doctor, so doctor's tend to be more knowledgeable and more caring in general.
-
That is EXTREMELY fucked up! No wonder you HATE the medical industry. I would too given what you've been through. Like, GOOD God!☹️?????? Those nurses should get their medical license taken away, if they do stuff like that. it goes against the hypocratic oath. Especially because a patient can die on your watch when you could've prevented it. That's JUST cold blooded murder at THAT point. LOL!???????

@Jesse The BabySpiderBoyThe fact is nurses, especially RN's which is the only level of nurse which is allowed to take care of people like me, are on short supply. They get hired and basically can do whatever they want because they graduated from nursing school. That's all it takes, they don't have to be good, and they will never get fired, and even if they are, it doesn't mean anything. Companies will snatch any RN up if they get a chance.
I had a nurse who was there when my dad had a heart attack, she was taking care of me at the time, but I was upstairs watching stuff with my wife, while she was downstairs. She watched my dad die on the stairs of our house as my sister's screamed. She did not perform CPR on my dad, which could have saved his life.
She is still at the exact nursing agency she was at when she was working with me, she didn't even get a slap on the wrist for not performing CPR which she is technically mandated to do if ever there's a situation like that.

The wife and I are going to see the new Bob's Burgers Movie. Figured it'd be a fun time, even if I'm not the biggest Bob's Burgers fan, especially when it comes to the new seasons (they're still good, just not at consistantly good as older seasons in my opinion.).

@BabySpiderBoyI'm doing well and my day was good, thank you for asking. Had a busy last couple of weeks, today I was able to just relax and chill for most of the day, which is always good.

@DailyDisorry to hear that Mikey, hope things get better for you, will be sending good vibes your way!

Forgot that daylight savings time was today, it's especially interesting that it seemed to change at 2am instead of at midnight.
I went and did something at 1:47am and the 3am alarm to feed the cat went off really early, I had thought I took over an hour doing something that should have taken like 10 minutes.
The only reason I figured out the time had changed is our microwave clock (the only non-internet connected clock we have plugged in at the moment) was an hour behind.

What's everyone planning for Christmas? my wife and I are most likely going to just hang out and watch some Christmas movies. Hopefully you can make your Christmas special too, even with this whole pandemic thing going on, even if it is a smaller stay-at-home type of event.

Got tickets for the 2nd Sonic The Hedgehog Movie, turns out my theater has tickets at only $6/ticket on a specific weekday, so we're paying half what we would otherwise be paying.
It'll be nice to go see a movie again.
-
-
@BabySpiderBoyI'm sure I'll enjoy it. I'm fairly easy to please when it comes to movies. Even movies that are largely considered bad, I'll usually enjoy. Heck, even if I dislike a movie, or realise it's objectively bad, I usually enjoy watching it the first time around.

Bought something online and they're withholding it because the shipper didn't provide enough details, hopefully the company I bought it from will resolve it. It's near impossible to get a hold of FedEx and sort it out myself it seems.
First time I had this issue when importing from Japan. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, at least it's not customs asking for money to clear the package.
-
Good Luck with that Bud - Never dealt with many shipments from overseas, but when I did, they seemed to take a hell of a lot LONGER to get here, and even when they are here, seems to take AGES to get something, especially from china......

@~Brian~It's here, due to the pandemic all the sites are offering a far more limited selection of shipping options, so it's here, like in my county. They're just withholding it because the company didn't provide a good enough description, hoping it will be resolved by the company, or I can get a hold of FedEx next time to handle it myself.

Work on Chapter 14 of My Time At The Everland Farms is being worked on.
This is my longest story yet and I'm very happy with it so far.
Once the story is complete I'll be going through the whole thing, fixing various grammar/spelling mistakes that I missed while writing and release the story in various file formats such as EPUB alongside the current formats of PDF, TXT and ODT.

Wife noticed I have a Stye on my right eye today. Going to have to deal with treating that now, happy she caught it before it got really bad, I've been hospitalized for those before.
Luckily, it was in my blind eye, so my vision won't be affected by it.
-

@BabySpiderBoyIt's a bacterial infection on the lid of your eye that can progress into being pretty bad. It needs to be treated with hot compresses every day, along with being extra careful not to touch the eye with unclean hands.

For those of you who haven't already you should check out Weird Ways Life Hits You It only has 4 chapters at the moment but it's very well written. It's written by our very own @markfrangioniIf you get a chance I'd highly recommend checking it out and ofcourse show it some love if you enjoy it.

Do I need to upgrade my system from 32GB of ram to 128GB? No. Am I thinking about it? Yes.
Will I actually ever go through with such a silly thing? Probably not.

Writers block is the worst, it's like I have ideas but no idea how to turn those ideas into actual content.
Chapter 15 might take a little longer than expected. :/

Don't worry man: I know how hard that can be: You have an idea or a premise and you are not able to come up with a way to make everything make sense....Its like having a salad...You have all the INGREDIENTS, but you have a hard time deciding what you could make to go **with the salad**
Take your time Man.....I KNOW the feeling.....having Ideas on the tip of your brain, and not being able to turn them to words......You are NOT alone
Good Luck!

I would agree: nice avatar change! Every once in a while I like to change mine also, and the last time I changed it was prior to our old posture being reassigned to a new church. He took that picture, of me surveying the outside during an outside sail, after I came upstairs to check on what was going on, after being in the thrift store.
It's always good to change stuff up after a while. I've even changed my cover photo: as you see, both of you can see how happy I am, however you may not be able to see my eyes, because they seem to be closed regardless of how hard I try to keep them open, because I'm trying to make it look like I'm not a dork: during this photograph the new pastor had simply asked me for a picture because he wanted to place it on the website: little did I know that he next turned around and asked me to become the associate Webmaster for the church's website! When he told me that, it made me feel so good that I was showing both thumbs up I was giving it all I had, and I felt like somebody had just said I had won $1,000,000: it's almost like when you get exactly what you want, or when you eat something that is so awesome, that you cannot get enough of it and you just let it envelope your entire body
another way to put that is if you are in a situation where you really like the situation that you're in, and somebody really really wants to take real good care of you, and tells you to let her handle you or handle it, then she ends up giving you the most exciting interaction, where she takes care of your every need, very gently very lovingly very calculated, hitting every single one of your sensors, making it feel real good, placing you in a position where you feel like you're on cloud 9 and nothing could hurt you, similar to how it feels when they pump you full of pain medication and you feel like your body just wants to go ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Well, in that picture I felt like I was on cloud 9: I felt I deserved it because over the last six to nine months, it just seems like everything at work had been taken away from me slowly, and I misunderstood the church's intention: I knew that they liked what I did, and I knew that I do a good job, and I knew that they would take care of me, some way, but when you are in charge and have been since 2017, and they come in like a steamroller, and tell you that you can't open yet, and they're trying to figure out what they wanna do, that made me nervous: thanks to this new pastor, and his new approach, it makes me feel like we are both on the same page, and that the site that we are building over there, is the same type of site I would build with my own two hands on my own website domain, and I'm so glad that I stuck it out: because now I got what I want, and me being happy in that picture above, says about all I have to say without even opening my mouth other than to smile!
I hope you are doing well my friend: I know that sometimes it can be hard, but sometimes as they say good things come to those who wait, and I wish you all the best! May you always be in the best possible health you can be, and hopefully you will be able to be happy whatever you're doing, wherever you are: it is always the best policy to try to be the best you can be, and now that I have been given the responsibility I have, I feel like I have earned the respect the admiration and I have earned the right to proudly state I made it! Throughout all of the tough times and all of the things that I have gone through, I know that life is hard, but I don't try to look at the positive as a negative, but I also try not to always think everything is negative: there are always a positive in every negative, you just have to find it. I think I just did!
Take care my friend!

The wife made a Monte Cristo Bake off of a Canadian website dedicated to recipes involving lots of eggs. Looks yummy.
-
-
she enjoyed it, used half a carton of eggs just for a Monte Cristo Bake. that site wasn't kidding when they said all recipes require eggs. I've never seen that many eggs in a single recipe before. Which is good, cause we always have eggs (usually we need them for this or that) but it leaves a lot left over and we never know what to do with the rest. lol.

Why is it whenever I see GBP I think "German British Pounds" instead of "Great British Pounds"? I know objectively it's "Great British Pounds" but for some reason my brain instantly reads it every single time as "German British Pounds".
-
So my package did manage to get it's way through Customs Clearance, I have no idea how though, I wasn't contacted back by the company I bought it from and the likelihood of them silently fixing it seems slim to none. I guess FedEx could have just released the package spontaneously but that too seems unlikely.
Oh well either way, everything seems fine now, saves me a day of headache trying to get in contact with FedEx to clear it up.

There are 2 types of cough medicine.
The kind that makes it so you don't have a need to cough and the kind that makes you still have the strong need to cough, but makes it impossible to do so no matter how hard you try.
My question is why does the second one exist?
-
One type of cough med is a suppressant, which means that it will calm your coughing if it is causing you issues, like being unable to sleep, or do normal activities.
The other, is an expectorant, which means that it will make it easier for you to cough up stuff in your lungs. This is helpful so if there is anything in your lungs (Mucus, etc) you can cough it up, so it (hopefully) won't cause pneumonia or other issues.
Have a Great Day!
