Auto-Immune Disease(s): A Thread
In May of 2018 my legs started hurting. It was a dull aching pain that felt like they were just sore (I had played basketball several times that week) but the pain kept getting worse and worse. A few days later I was in a meeting and my hands, arms, and legs felt like they were on fire. I had no strength in my hands or extremities. I was sitting in a meeting and tried to pick up s pencil and couldn’t grip it. My boss sent me home and I had to loop my arm through the steering wheel and pull myself into my truck. I vividly remember getting home and an Amazon package being delivered. I went to open the door and couldn’t even turn the door knob (we had childproof locks on them). My wife came home and I was curled up in the fetal position on the floor. She drove me to the doctor, he did all kinds of tests and I was diagnosed with polymyositis. My arms and legs ache for the most part nonstop and I’ll occasionally get a tingling/burning sensation in my hands and feet. I take medicine for it has stayed under control for the most part. I’ve never felt the pain I did in 2018 and still don’t have any idea what brought it on or caused it.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
My grandpa saw me walking around with the book and when he saw who the author was he snatched it out of my hands thinking it was a Bond novel.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
The burgers are smaller and don’t have the same taste as before. Fries and drinks are still the same.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Learned how to play craps there about 20 years ago at a $2 table. It was slow and the dealer gave me a lot of tips and advice. Thought I was Billy Badass and blew everything I had at Caesar’s later that night.

Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
It’s actually gotten worse and looks to continue that way.

Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
TRS is the one thing that has kept me from getting out, it’s not a bad retirement plan.

Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
This may be the wrong place to ask this question, but I’m seriously considering a career change. This is my 16th year of being a public school teacher and it has gotten harder and harder to stay in each year. My salary will never be much more than it is now and when we do get a raise it’s generally offset by a rise in our insurance premiums. Reading through this thread it doesn’t seem like now is a very good time to start looking anyway but, if I were, are people even hiring former educators that may not have experience in that field but bring other useful skills to the table?

Go to “home” and the first row is titled “top picks for you” and you can see the multi view. The other way is to select the game from the guide and, if available, it will give you the option to watch live or the multi view. So far it’s only worked with 2 games at a time.

What are the essential Bond movies?
Diamonds Are Forever is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s so ridiculous but I can’t help but love it. Connery in the short pink tie is so unlike anything Bond would ever wear but I watch it anytime I come across it.

NES and SNES games were hard as hell.- Nintendo Switch
You can save it. But yes, I have to go back and reset it. I’ve found some other YouTube videos for other n64 games that make it easier to play them. I’ll save them as “goldeneye” or whatever and just select it. It’s a pain but it’s more enjoyable for me to play.- Nintendo Switch

- Random TV shows/thoughts that don’t warrant their own thread.
Alcatraz was an intriguing show about a decade ago or so.- Yellowstone
Somebody needs a ride to the train station.- Better Call Saul: Season 6
One of the most brilliant parts about that show is the first time through you root for the egomaniacal bad guy and hate all of the good people and it usually is a 180 the second time.- Bidet Meta Threas
It helps to wiggle around in a circular motion.- Even the Apocalypse Must End; The Walking Dead Finale Season
Did Rick ever return? Kind of lost interest about the time he left.- Surly #Stonks
