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

    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
