did you car get tow due to your parking?

no, thankfully! Oncee i got into hospital i gave the nurse my keys and she had security move my car....

when i say gave her my keys... i literally dropped them on the ground and mumbled my car needs to be moved

Something very similar happened to me yesterday...

I was with my friend.. an unstable one, to say the least. I go in to Popeye's to get some food. Come back... has a needle in her arm and is unresponsive. After freaking out for a minute and not successfully waking her up. I decide to drive to the hospital. I figured I could get their faster than the cops could get to me... so I turned on my emergency blinkers and speed through about 20 red lights on a major road in Baltimore County... It was one of the scariest things I've ever been through..

mmm in spain you can wave a white cloth outside the window to do that. but of course you can't drive and wave things out the window!

Ive seen cops here escorting cars in emergencies!

Damn I never hope I get kidney stones. Ugh. Isn't there a procedure where they use lasers to break up the stone? You still gotta pass it though :/

Well, glad you're ok. :doctor:

yes, but thats a last resort...and to get to the stone they go threw your pee hole :o

How big are we talking (the stone)

my stone was 6mm...seems small...but it comes down a very small tube and out a very small hole1 :cry:

What happened with the interview?

The actually called me today to see how i was doing..the interview was/is with Wells Fargo, I am calling them on wed to rescheudle the interview

i had a kidney stone a few months back. i learned that the pain occurs while the stone travels thru the narrow tube between your kidney and your bladder, and not what I originally thought (passing from your bladder to the outside world)

painful thing without a doubt

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
