I am definitely hoping they will fix my foot today. I would hate to have to go back in but will do so, an happily for it anyway. That thing is a pain to work with. I don't let it slow me down and it hurts a great deal for it. My mother suggests that she has to go in every three to six months for her foot growths. I am hoping I won't need it that often. I will be watching them, seeing what tools they use, how they proceed, any precautions they take. DIY isn't for fearful. Perhaps, though, it is out of my skill level. Still, I would like to watch them at least once, but perhaps several times, and see if using the right tools I might diy this. What was that, intelligence is knowing and wisdom is knowing better, and prayers help discern? Yeah, but it would be nice to not need an appointment to stop severe pain.
I have started working on adding labels to my posts. I made it through 25, then nearly 50, then decided to look at how many posts I had. Surely hundreds. Nope, I have been whining and fantasizing through 1966 (67 now) posts. I have... a little project ahead of me. I do hope to look through them. Perhaps I will see something interesting? Sure, lots of whining:) Well, maybe some progress. Maybe I will get a firmer look at the improvements. I have improved, even before medication (if too only before edema set in).
Yea, I think heading out extra early and getting some food in me before my appointment, and some coffee, would be a kindness. No blood work today so I don't have to fast. That is nice for a change. Medicine, another shower, grooming, driving, and all the rest. It is a cool day, so it should be even better. I really don't mind these trips, now that I am doing better. But they do eat up some serious time. Then again, for the moment, it is time that would most likely otherwise simply be wasted. I just can't get going quite yet. It's coming though, just not right now.
I didn't get to the bike. Ah well, not a surprise if a minor disappointment. I have been trying to place an order for the rocket stove and water pasteurizer, but there seems to be some kind of a problem. I'll try one more time before I head into the shower. If I have problems, sometimes taking a break (six hours in this case, to several days) often yields success somehow. Well, I best get that tried so I can head out.
Good day.
Aha! I finally got the order to go through. Just a minor misreading of what was required regarding their information fields. Fixed, ordered, and just received confirmation with intent to deliver. One less thing on my mind. Oh, if you are curious, the rocket stove, and the the water pasteurizer.
They've improved the design since I ordered mine. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteThe top door on mine slides into place and the brick is inserted separately. Then again I got mine for about $50, IIRC. Latest and greatest newfagled has it's price I suppose.
Yeah, but $50 you sent was well worth the "$15" you paid at the time. *insane laughs*
ReplyDeleteI am pleased with the upgrades. But to be honest with you, I think the makers seem a bit peeved that they have had to "improve" things because of asshole Americans. Why can't we just be happy. They started out left, turned capitalist, and aren't happy about the situation. But damn it, those I-Pads and I-Pods are to die for, or kill. Even if they still are a "charity" (for whatever that means today), they are a capitalist one, and use "volunteers" to their financial goals and ends, without thought. (While probably bitching a storm about the capitalism that is the only thing funding it and the improvements it required to keep it in "business").
I don't mind an out-and-out capitalist bitching about serving. They ARE in it for the money, or I mean are honest about it. But people who say they are here to serve? Who say they despise capitalism? I have absolutely no sympathy or empathy or any of that. *fuck, pig* (or a crossover of what I used to say while doing feminists... never... mind...)
I am envious of the upgrades. I would probably have chosen to pay the extra for the better quality version if I had a choice at the time.
ReplyDeleteA little *latch* on the doors even! I intended to find a spring style wood heater door handle to attach to the little slidey door on mine, because it is a real pain (literally) to adjust it when hot.
Nothing cures communism so fast as going into business for oneself. Let 'em bitch. It's good for them.
I keep thinking about the looks on their faces when they pay taxes, and realize they used to try to figure out how to get those tax dollars for themselves. It's a slow evolution but it does occur, even to pot smokers, when Uncle Sam muscles in on some of their goodies for more goodies to people they know shouldn't be receiving them.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy my little mentalgrams. I surely do. I can just see a doobie dropping out of one of their mouths when they realize how much they are being bilked. "Like, dude, that's 10 kilos of pot, man! Or coke? I can't think right now." "Ruh-rho! No more Shaggy treats for us!"
See, they aren't upgrades for me, mostly. Since I am starting with them. But, yeah, I did choose to pay. More for longevity. Then again, and not being cute, it was you and people like you who got the thing going by buying what was available and asking for more (those who did). Then, getting people like me to buy.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember how long ago I had asked about this stove, and on several occasions? You must have thought, 'What is this lame-ass doing? Is he ever going to buy one or is he just dicking around reverse-trolling?'
Actually, all that I have done, if it might not be what you would have done (even in my shoes or exactly), has to be some kind of a testament to what you "preach" though. I do lay a lot of credit at your feet. So, thanks for a bunch of things.
