    ...[embarrasing LG blather ] SNIP...

    I think you mean McGuyver.  I miss his madness, too. 

    You're right.blush  See, he's been gone so long that my dementia has kicked in.  But that other guy (George McGovern) still floats around in my head, I mourned him when he departed the scene too, after he'd lost the election (a half century ago).frown

     

    Words, words, I forget and confuse words, especially names.  I know what I'm saying, I just booger the words.sad   So far the only advantage, I've found, to senility, is the ability to watch two-year old movies again as if they were fresh.indecision  That, and the convenience of excusing my not doing things for other people that I'd promised to do.devil

    And now I even boogered up the SNIPing too.  (*sigh*)  I give up.  Just pretend y'all knew what I meant, and forgive this old brain.

    Can you hide your own Easter Eggs?

    ...wow, what browser do you use? 

    Chrome. 

    ...interesting, as I have Chrome and with Adblock Ultimate I see no adverts whatsoever. Then again I am still on Windows 7 which Chrome ceased supporting a in January of 2023 so I have not received any updates of the Browser since. ..

    Looking it up.  Is there an iOS version? 

    ...that I am not sure of.  I would go to the App Store and check.

    My therapist dropped me off at Walmart.  I got a bunch of stuff.  I checked out with my new health innsurance benefit card.  Not everything was accepted.  I noticed that I got cereal but no milk.

     

    So I went back to get milk and a few snacks.  I also got batteries for my wireless mouse.  I ended up getting more stuff. I went back to check out and some items weren't accepted so they got canceled off.

    I probably spent too much, but I won't need much for later.  I ordered an uber right before the prices went up.  That driver cancled probably due to that.  also they didn't want to help me with my groceries unless I pay extra.  I finally got a nice uber driver.  He helped take my groceries out of his car to my door step.  I probably should tip him and i tipped him $5.

    The only food that I got that didn't look delicous was the BettaMin.  I bet it smells like fish food.

    I've to say I've literally never heard of this happening here. I mean a therapist or a health care professional interacting with you outside their work. I think it's even highly discouraged in the same way that if you have a friend who is a therapist they refer you to someone else. I think this applies to most service professions here (unless driving people around is actually their job or they, like, run a B&B or something)... though maybe some kids might luck with a teacher driving them home but even that would be highly exceptional. Very nice of your therapist!

    That, and some of us were busy trying to figure out what color the inside of their stomachs were while they're embarrased.

    When I was very young, the person assigned to me would pick me up and drive me places while explaining what I needed to do. But I don't know if it was ever really social. Maybe he just wanted to speak to me outside of the presence of the people I was stuck with at that time.

    Finally, with the help of a CPAP 

    I'm on a Bipap now that monitors my breathing and will breathe for me for as long as I'm not breathing which is usually about 8-10 sec. I have complex sleep apnea which is obstructive and central. Central is where the brain doesn't tell the body to breathe, and when you hear of deaths due to sleep apnea it's usually because of central. I stop breathing 128 times an hour and more than half is central. I'm in bad shape if I fall asleep for even a half hour. I end up lethargic, delirious, can't speak, mumble, and can't walk, I at times will see things or talk to invisible people, it is messed up. We had to install security cameras in all the rooms in our house to be able to watch me 24 / 7. I've passed out several times because my oxygen levels dropped so low. All of this was the result of pain meds for 2 decades. I also now have short-term memory loss due to the oxygen levels dropping all the time and I forget most things within 14-16 hours. It is pretty much suffering from the effects of hypoxia and there isn't anything they can do about it. All of this is why I was MIA for almost 2 yrs several yrs back. Been dealing with this for 5 yrs now. I've had sleep apnea for over a decade now but most of this has been in the last 5 yrs

    I never see her in her office.  She always go meet me somewhere.  This office lets some of their staff drive the clients around.

    The layout of the Daz forums have been messed up for a long time, but the addition of the AI subforum seems to have fixed it. It used to be, at least on my computer, that the first row of every set of subforums only contained one, with subsequent rows containing two. Even though everything makes more sense now, it's still frustrating because I'm so used to things being wrong.

    Apparently the ad blocker thing that was suggested for Chrome works great!  I no longer see the ads on this page.

    Whom are you responding to?

  • NylonGirlNylonGirl Posts: 1,808

    Perhaps the people whose stomach linings I've been looking at.

    I need to do a German leson and then turn my light off and go to bed.  I was playing a MMORPG gamea nd I accidentally destroyed the thing I was trying to make to sell in the game's exchange.  I am so tired.

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,260

    I get a lot of ads on various sites for something called DAZ.  I would try it but I prefer DS4.20 or is it DS 4.21 or something else?

     

    okay bed tIne and time to ignore facebook and the internet

    I've suddenly remembered why I'm hardly active on this forum.

    I am moving Sunday afternoon.  I am so excited.  Now it is bed time.

    Came by to see if an ad blocker works here on my iPad...

    It don't.

    Saw the AI thing...

    While I was writing about tulips and bright ideas in the AI thread we experienced an earthquake...

    Well, I'm going back into obscurity and to pick up some things that fell over.

    Bye-bye.

    LG shouts out at McGyver (not McGovernblush)  Hey ho, McGyver.yes

    I get it.  DAZ forum is no fun anymore with all these ads.   Also, long ago I gave up the masochistic tendency to buy DAZ things I don't use.  And AI has taken over my image fetish.  And even McGyver is gone from the forums.  So, I say to DAZ;  "Oh, you're no fun anymore."cheeky

     

    Non-complaint:  Friends took me to Easter lunch at Red Lobster last Sunday.  Mmmm... tolerable seafood.yes

    Complaint:  Monday eclipse weather here is now expected to be partly cloudy.frown  I hope there is a blue part visible at the right time and in the right spot.​

    Non-complaint:  Symphony with my symphony buddy, still scheduled for this month.  Sibelius: Symphony #2, in Buffalo at Kleinhans Music Hall.heart  (ticket pricy, but transportation free. Wheee...)

    Complaint:  But also this month are appointments for Urologist, Dentist, Cardiologist, and GP.  All in a two week period and each require at least one Uber trip.  Oh, my aching bank account.crying
