re: Restless leg syndrome RLS
Posted by done dancing on 7/2/25 at 2:07 pm to profdillweed
Gabapentin is used to treat nerve disorders. What I thought was RLS was nerve issues stemming from a bulging disc. It was exacerbated by dehydration and fatigue. Prolonged sitting or lying down is not good. Physical activity and general movement helps. I'm not a big fan of taking medicines so I try to manage it.
re: Sage Sure Insurance? UPDATE page 3
Posted by done dancing on 7/1/25 at 1:29 pm to LSUFanHouston
I've had Sage Sure, writing Occidental, since 2018. Policy price actually went down prior to Ida in 2021. I had roof and interior water damage. They were easy to deal with and paid on time with no haggling over damage estimates. They have gone up naturally since Ida but they are still reasonable compared to the others writing in South Louisiana on the coast.

Don't limit the location. Sierra Nevadas are every bit as spectacular as the Rockies, especially from the eastern side. If politics are the deciding factor then eastern Tennesse every day. PoliticL board?
re: Trey Holly's July 7 court date was cancelled...will be rescheduled

Canceled/postponed is basically the same thing. If the defense wanted this issue to go to trial they would have filed a motion to force the trial. No matter the outcome, most people will question the final disposition. People lose faith in the judicial system because of delays.

So what your saying is that there's a chance it's destroyed? I appreciate your logic and don't want a science face off with you but the damage is enough to shut it down. Let's see what happens next. With Trump, he's always measured in the 24 hour news cycle.
re: Tell me about the journaling you do
Posted by done dancing on 6/21/25 at 7:08 pm to athenslife101
If it works for you absolutely do it. I have a day planner for work and personal life for years to.make sure I take care of important tasks because Im OCD. I pray while performing regular tasks like grass cutting and ask my deceased friends and loved ones for their prayers. No wrong way to cope and improve.

Good words. We've always adopted abused or pound dogs. As much as it hurts when they pass, OP saved a pup.and gave her a great life. We should all be so lucky for that unconditional love..
re: Home refrigerator help

That's funny. I took my 25 year old Amana and made a beer fridge in the outdoor utility room and replaced it with the Whirpool. The Amana is going strong still....knock on wood.

I have the Whirlpool in this configuration and it has been a good fridge so far. The dealer I bought from sells Whirlpool, GE and Frigidaire as his entry lines and Bosch for higher end units. He backs and services these brands and has for a long time. I avoid water/ice door dispensers as they routinely break on every brand owned by people I know.

re: Someone explain Disney obsessed adults to me
Posted by done dancing on 6/5/25 at 10:17 pm to Tiger1242
Had my only child at 43. I had never been to Disney. Started taking her when she was 3 and outside of covid we went regularly. Mostly stayed in the RV section of Fort Wilderness. I'm a people watcher and between that and the parks themselves I had a great time. Daughter is 20 now but I'd go back just to hang out. Always had a good time.
re: Venting dryer vent
Posted by done dancing on 6/5/25 at 3:21 pm to armsdealer
Neighbor bought a vent bucket from Home Depot for his garage. Vents into a closed bucket which he cleans once a week. Easiest solution. The distance to pipe to an outside wall was too far. Piping into attic causes humidity issues depending on your insulation and ventilation.

Young guy under 40, first head coaching job although he got it in a crappy way with Schloss bailing on them. A&M is reeling from the Jimbo contract and money is probably an issue. But I agree, if given a chance with real support he'll be successful. Or as successful as a coach can be at A&M.
re: What is your favorite revolver?
Posted by done dancing on 5/26/25 at 9:19 pm to REB BEER
Absolutely. I shot a 2 1/2 inch 44 with magnum rounds. Not fun. All I have now are several single/double Sigs in .357 auro and 9mm and a few Glock 9mm models. I kick myself everytime I see revolver prices.
re: For those of you that think Cops are underpaid
Posted by done dancing on 5/26/25 at 3:08 pm to Shredded
So he makes a base of $70 per hour. That's not unusual at all in large cities. As a comparable, the Lousiana department I retired from pays $23 an hour or $48k a year now for uniformed patrolman, with overtime up to $70k if they hustle. The work is always there or requested. So exactly what is policing worth?
re: What is your favorite revolver?
Posted by done dancing on 5/25/25 at 7:51 pm to REB BEER
I had three S&W revolvers I used for work: The model 66 2 1/2 inch, model 19 4 inch and model 686 4 inch. Like a dummy I sold or traded all three for other guns. I bought each one for under $300 in the eighties. As a bonus I had a pristine Browning 9mm that I traded. These guns would be worth a pretty penny now.

How bout awaiting the outcome of the investigation into the Chief before going off. Is he an arse for the way he acted, yes. A competent and trained officer would not have acted like that given the info provided in the incident. But when he is held accountable for his actions will you still be saying all cops are shite? How bout judging the individual and not the whole for a singular act.
re: AC drip pan help

In hot humid weather, an a/c puts out one gallon of water per ton per hour i.e. 4 gallons an hour for a 4 ton unit. Set the thermostat on 74 and clear the line from the emergency pan if you can. If your main.line and your over flow line are both clogged you have a tou problem or a serious a/c problem.
