Ogre Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 I’d sure like to know the results of this biopsy from my colonoscopy that was deemed essential. Over a week now. It was essential to have it done but the results can wait? Wtf?
FogBat Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 I found out late last night that one of my HS classmates died last week from triple negative breast cancer. 1
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 I went out yesterday before work for a bike ride, planned on 15 miles or so, I was staying in town at the hotel, it was chilly out. I wore my bike shorts and my jersey with a fleece over it. Ok a little cold but while moving I stay fairly warm.. Until 7.5 miles in, I get a flat, I'm in the middle of nowhere and don't have a spare tube or tire levers, etc... The people I usually call or message aren't up yet, so as I'm trying to get I figure it out it starts pouring and the wind picks up, I'm freezing. I started walking the bike back toward the hotel, about an hour later someone comes and grabs me.... I head into work an icicle

Indabuff Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 This cheap *** toilet paper sucks. You need 12 feet of it for one trip to the bathroom.

I've been out of cycling for a while due to a nagging injury but I'm holding out hope for a return this summer, and it that works out I'll probably buy a new road bike next summer. And one of my main motivations for buying a modern road bike will be that fixing flats roadside on a bike from the 70s is effing brutal lol

And even if you do successfully leave that TP trail, you wind up using all of it anyway. So not only do you not have enough TP, you're also now lost.

I've got to fix a pedal and grease up the chain but other than that I think I'm good to go. I might put some new tubes in; it's been years since I rode.

That may be wise, or at least check your tires for any issues that will go into the tube. We'll coordinate something soon when the warm stuff is here to stay

FogBat Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Mrs. CC and I are having some serious concerns about the church we’ve been visiting. We clearly do not have a problem with their doctrine nor their preaching. We are in complete agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. However, it has become very evident who they support in politics (don’t even bother asking) when the Gospel should be first and foremost. They have also been very vocal against the current SIP by claiming that it violates the 1A right of free assembly. (We disagree with this since the government is not stopping anyone from meeting online or meeting in church parking lots parked in their cars. In fact, it’s being encouraged where I live.) Granted, from what we’ve been able to find and research online, this church is not only not incorporated but it’s also not a 501(c)(3). But the politicking has me worried.

Some of these rules just might violate 1A. Anyone with some sense is obeying them anyway, though. I don't like politics and religion mixing, either.

I don't like politics and religion mixing, either. Experience is one of those teachers where we learn our lesson the hard way. I say that because I have observed that politics and religion require a delicate balancing act - and that is impossible when unstable people hold positions of power and influence. It all goes back to what I said in a different thread. Any particular thing in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Edited May 1, 2020 by Crosschecking
