It's just as bad this side of the pond, except we get ours at the start of the Tax year which is at the beginning of April, those of us that have a company pension are a little bit better off, and of course our struggling NHS is free, as are medications when you get olderSad subject of the day for those of us on SS... The cost of living just keeps on increasing while...at the end of 2015 there was no COLA, at the end of 2016, they gave us a small one, but with the increased cost of medicare, I get $17 less each month...Just got the letter yesterday with the new COLA...Whoopee..NOT...after medicare costs, I get a whole big $6 a month more over this year!! If they should decide to grace us with an even bigger one next year, will I have attained the amount I received three years ago? Sad that what they give us as a supposed COLA doesn't even help to maintain status quo....
Okay...rant over....just sad....
Well appt at Cyberknife went well. I took a xanax and was able to lay perfectly still while breathing normally and they were able to get the computer locked in, so no need of pellets. Ginny snapped some pics so you could see my resting place
This was getting into position
This was strapping me in
This was the guy adjusting my iPhone with my music
And this was in my final position for 1 hour. The machine in the back comes out and aims the radiation at exact locations and moves around you to different spots. I start Dec 26th then every other day for 5 sessions with a break at New Years. Oh and the light on the ceiling is a picture of trees lit up.

Just don't get an itch cause you can't scratch it.
That seems to be a good board. The reason for the weird placement of the buttons is because it was designed for a joystick. I think that is the same board as in my G class. Works good on TC. OOps mine has the 550 not the 500 should be just as good tho. Thats the funny thing about YiHi is they don't usually offer the exact same board that they put in their mods till further down the road. I'm pretty sure it is the same board tho because it has some of the same wallpapers plus you should be able to add your own. I watched the review on it by Busardo. I'm always interested when they have a YiHi board in them. I love em myself. So much easier to adjust things then the dna but the dna's have their really good points also. I would like to have one with the new 75C board. Big BoyZ and their ToyZThe vboy even came with a bag and a microfiber cloth!

Jeez there was a guy in there when we got there so I asked him some questions, he was in his 60s and his dad was getting a treatment to see if there was anything they could do but it was too late, the poor guy isn't supposed to last over a couple more days. They live a long ways away and he took him directly to Hospice. He had to be in his 90s and didn't look good at all. I felt so bad for him. The son did say he had a friend who went though this also and had no side effects and they got everything fixed for him. His son was going to stay at a Hotel in town till it was over. They live a couple hundred miles away. I'm lucky that they have one here at home.
Tried out the dripper that came with. NCR new concept, uses a plate instead of a coil.

Yiddle, when I retired on SS disability about 20 yrs. ago I thought that i had a very good income...not any more! And...lest i go on a rant which could be deemed political, I'll stop now....
Despite my professional training, I ended up with minimal Social Security benefits. With supplemental government programs, I have everything I need, but very little that I want. My daughter is in California, my son is in Missouri, and I don't have enough money to go see them, and neither do they have money to burn on travel. My sister who lives in-state rarely comes to see me. Despite friendships I have developed here, there is a loneliness in what could have been. My kids are in their late 20's, and I have told them to not marry until they are ready, so no grandchildren yet. My medical problems the past six months have burned up the small financial cushion I had left, and don't even get me started on that.
But I have food, the medical care I need, a roof over my head, heat, clothing, and faith. Gratitude for what I do have.

It's not fair, that's for sure.Sad subject of the day for those of us on SS... The cost of living just keeps on increasing while...at the end of 2015 there was no COLA, at the end of 2016, they gave us a small one, but with the increased cost of medicare, I get $17 less each month...

I would dearly love to respond in kind, but i find that people whose opinions are that deeply set are not interested in civil discourse, and merely want to spew their opinions at everyone. Looks like i need to duck my head under for a while again, lest i get carried away.

We all have our opinion about why the country is in the state it is in and how to fix it. We may all be wrong. Both sides of the aisle are at fault, thats why we cant let our opinions ruin friendships.

I agree. Who really knows anymore. I just see things happening that don't seem right and I'm off and running. I know better neither side is willing to see the others and so it goes. I don't mean to push the things I think on people here just as you don't so I won't. I think everyone knows what I think anyway.
So is that one of those ceramic coils. Does it have any kind of taste to it. Always wondered about that as I sit here with my new roll of 100' of SS316L.
How do you like the vboy. should be really good on TC.
It is a ceramic wafer, and it tastes good, ideal for fumbling hands.
The vboy is nice, dont do tc, so i dont know how good that part is, but it has a nice feel to it.
