Ceptorman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Does everyone know their blood type? I'm the popular A+. I also know my bone marrow numbers, I'm on the national bone marrow registry. I had a cousin that needed a marrow transplant, and all my family was tested. Out of the 200k people that were currently on the registry, she did not have a match. I did find out that myself and an older brother have identical numbers.....so I got that going for me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I know it was the middle of the night for most, but here it was only late evening. Fireworks went off, horns honking, people dancing in the streets, it was "pandalerium!" The USA men's curling team won our first ever gold medal in the sport. Oh, also it was a typical Friday night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i’m not sure of my blood type -- i’ve seen medical documents that have two types listed, so i don’t know which is correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about him every time I give blood which is about 4 times a year. It's actually good for your body too as it puts you in a replenishment mode while your body creates more red blood cells. I bleed enough from my mishaps to be in replenishment mode most of the time. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasubandu Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We seem to have a lot of wine drinkers here, and lots of you are from places I did know even had wine. So any favorite reds under $15 that I should try? I drink a glass every day and am always eager to try something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people say that since I am lawyer, nothing I say is true. I always thought that true was an arbitrary standard.

One Christmas, many years ago, I was asked by the old folks to go get them a bottle of wine. So, i bought some MD 20/20 as a joke -- they didn’t like it at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 My newly arrived Heresy pair were packed amazingly well by the eBay seller. See the following thread for details. They've been rode hard and put away wet, but they sound great. They'll clean up nicely. The attached photo shows them set up in the 1929 duplex I'm rehabbing. It's amazing how great they sound when powered by a lowly TDA7297 chip amp that was less than $5 on eBay. It's nice to work to music. The project of the day is to replace the antique electrical outlets with modern grounded outlets. Fortunately, they used steel flexible conduit (I can't recall the electrician's name for it) to wire the place decades ago, so the outlet boxes are all grounded. Naturally, no one ever bothered to label the circuit breakers. The Heresys come in handy when determining which circuit breaker to trip so that I can work on the outlets. I just plug the power supply into the next outlet to be replaced and start flipping breakers until the music stops. The Heresys have no trouble being heard from the second floor to the basement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Steve, @BigStewMan, I know your healthier diet keeps you away from Del Taco, but I can't pass one -- a Del Taco, not whatever else might come into your mind -- without being reminded of you. Same goes for Grand Haven. It's good to see you're still on this side of the turf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not diagnosed until I was 50 when my kid was diagnosed, but still. The drugs help, just can't get enough of them. So actually I am very toned down these days. And don't confuse going in a whole bunch of directions at the same time with being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Having that at your age is better than when a kid, you will slow down as you get older, somewhat. I never thought going in many directions was from being slow, or dumb, it seemed to be more of what you said ADHD or similar. Kind of bouncing off the walls with ideas and different directions can at times be hard to deal with as far a figuring out what you really want to do. I kind of somewhat do the same thing, I can easily get the general idea of what I want, then the problem starts. Out in the garden tiki bar I am changing what was a simple sink to wash glasses or whatever in to the same but with a good size counter top for extra space for parties. Simple right, not really, I have moved the sink around to 5 different positions looking at different ideas to build. When I decide on something I think it to death so I don't finish thinking "i wish i would have done it like this". I do this with everything, I can't help it, it drives my wife crazy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
