Keep up the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) Mike, you will feel better faster. And I think giving Ken's juice idea is a good one. Cranberry is good for flushing the system. Other fruits will add to the benefits.

Just a note to let everyone know.......Rolygate said we'd most likely be moving to the new ECF software late this week, most likely on or before Saturday the 18th. Retired1 I think it was said that they're saying ECF will be shut down for 24 hours, but that it shouldn't take that long........... so just wanted everyone to be ready in case ya gotta talk to someone on here, then, make other arrangements now lol

jeez, how am I suppose to occupy my time during this change over?
dunno Gordon.........the other day I said I might have to actually get a life. lol But that aint gonna happen. that's gonna be a long day!!
I bought a new toaster oven today - so much less stressful.
When it comes to Consumer Reports and effigieators... sigh - it will only take you so far. The last 'fridge - before the new one - we bought based on brand reliability reports in Consumer reports. And it turned out to be a dog anyway. The repair dude came out and said that, basically, everything in the damned thing except the box needed to be replaced - and it couldn't be done if you wanted to because of how it was assembled. Yer kidding? No - he wasn't. Googled the Amana model number and the interwebs was rife with complaints about this model. The condenser coils would corrode internally and as soon as enough of them were closed off then the compressor would overheat and fry. That model was only lasting 5 to 7 years and it was done. Amana's response to consumer complaints about it was "Out of warranty. Don't care."
But Consumer Reports said brand reliability for Amana was better than average so...
tell me about...the old people threads occupy most of my time...when they get slow it makes my mind wonder in all directions..and sometimetimes I just get lost...

Yeah, Rick. Consumer reports hasn't had a very good reputation in at least the last dozen years or so.
well yeah I'm sure that can happen, but so far the few things I've bought have been good. Sorry ya had that happen. But yeah googling reviews is a good thing too. And I did hear sometime not long ago, that CR wasn't as good as they had been in years past. But I dunno.I bought a new toaster oven today - so much less stressful.

Do you have a google + account? I'm brand new to using it, but you can do video chats with up to 9 people I think for free. We've done a few in the Reo lounge. what other older folks threads do you hang out in? Cuz we don't get to see much of ya.
I think I do, my daughter just sent me a message to follower her on it...don't hangout any where else per say, 98% of my post came from games, mostly from got vapes..had give them up..have to check and figure out about google+.
know your area well, woeked that whole area twice during up grades on the cable system in temple, belton, killeen, the whole area down there..
Actually, now would be a good time ask everyone about this.......we can set up a hangout place....... post the link here, and everyone can bookmark it, so you can go into that one "room" anytime. Would y'all be interested in doing that? I could probably figure out how to set one up, if not, dancin might know, and I'm sure there are other folks on here that would know. At any rate, we could use it anytime, but if we all bookmark the same one.........we can go into it when ECF is down. I don't do video right now, but you can hear me, and I can see the folks who do have video.
Oh kewl. I'm in Temple now, just never changed it. And probably won't, I'm still not far from Ft Hood of course, and most people know where that is, or at least more folks than know about Temple. lol When did you do that? This whole area has really grown in the last 10 yrs it's amazing to me. 190 used to just be fields, and now it's all businesses.
Agreed. We have had a subscription...forever and over the years it has dwindled to more style and less substance. The most recent reinvention they did in the last year is full of pointlessly slick pages that provide no info - but the graphics sure look spiffy.
And... a blatant anti e-cigarette stance that is all bias and no facts. In their "Best and Worst of 2014" they cited candy flavored e-cigarettes as the new biggest threat to children. No facts - but just had to say that. And included a half page graphic of a bright pink eGo battery with a bright pink EVOD clearo - surrounded by gummy bears. All on a bright lime green background. 10 points for the visual, -50 points for "unbiased and factual".
So their "unbiased and factual" has dropped to around their ankles and apparently they haven't noticed. I have.

it was before that, hell, the first time was in the 90's the second time early 2000's..had to give it up 4 1/2 years ago..been all over the country, in places most people never heard of..Tex and and I talked and found out out we worked on some of the same jobs...just never when you'll run into people and don't think about it...heel, when I was Japan,long time ago, was walking down the street and looked across and saw a guy I grew up with from back in Maryland...
That's awesome! Jup, in so many ways it's a small world! I met a friend when I moved to this area.......turned out we had our babies a couple days apart in the same hospital and it was 5 hrs from here. so we were most likely there at the same time.
ETA You'd be shocked at this area now how much it's grown and they're adding on to S&W again.
