You're welcome.

Thanks Doc. Yes, stressful times. You know what it's like from first hand experience. However, this new drug she is on is amazing as it tackles 4 of her health conditions in one go. Now let's see what the over-zealous social services say.

The Mind Tavern is one month old today. Happy birthday! There has been a lot of chatter in a short time, with 1,430 posts in just those 30 or so days. :D

I too am a firm believer in finding out what needs to be done. It is the most logical thing to do. But I have this battle with my emotions. "I will get to it when I feel better prepared emotionally", and other such bonkers excuses. For example, I have been wanting to get my blood work done for...

There is much debate in Administrator forums about whether or not to keep threads on topic, or to let them flow freely. I tend to favour the latter with minimal intervention. Some others favour moderator intervention if they stray. But at any time, anyone can switch the direction back on topic...

Ran out of crank! Recharge batteries and wait for the offers to become tangible.

Worth the trips then.

Just spoke to the doctor, so at last got an update on my mum. She has a fracture in her pelvis. They couldn't move her to get an xray done before, but managed to get one done today. Supposedly, they take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. They have given her a drug to help with her lower back pain, hip...

To be clear, I am not suggesting that if someone loses weight they will not still have issues with frequent urination. Instead, I am hypothesising that if you lose weight you have less mass. Less mass means we need less food to sustain your weight. Less food being processed means less water...

I don't like doctors nowadays. Everytime I go in, I fear something a bit more sinister than when I was younger and feeling immortal. My tendency to bury my head and avoid bad news is detrimental to my physical health. Am I alone in this?

There are some private services where you can pay to get blood tests. Examples: US: https://www.wellnessfx.com/ UK: https://www.medichecks.com/ I have never gotten these done before but they interest me. We only have the one vessel carrying ourselves around, so taking a preventative approach...

I have a theory. If someone needs to pee multiple times during the night, is part of that determined by your bodyfat? If someone slimmed down say 20lbs and they previously weighed 200lb, they have shaved 10% off their bodyweight. But some of that would be bones! So, maybe it is the equivalent of...

Oh yes, MIDI. I haven't heard that term in years! It was the next big thing at the time. The ESQ1 had a built in sequencer, which was great for the time. I used to connect the Korg M1 to an Amiga based sequencer. Great fun.

How did the job interview go?

"Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor"

The keyboards of today are so cheap in comparison to back then, and stuffed full of functionality. Then again, there are so many other distractions to compete for attention instead. Looking back, the Commodore Amiga took a lot of my attention away. What a brilliant device that was!

Do you feel much more rested after a nights sleep now compared to before? I am curious how much repeated bathroom visits does to general tiredness the following day. I presume you can just sleep longer to make up?

For my work, I used to often post in FB groups relating to my ecommerce niche. But much of the time, people would answer a different question to the one I asked. It was very frustrating. Then, there were people answering the question who really haven't thought it through. You end up trusting...

I didn't sleep well last night, but don't feel cranky, just tired. However, I know if I get in a stressful situation, tolerance goes down when I am lacking in resources.
