Good morning jokerman.Hoping you wake up more beautius than you went to bed as
I don't know what the percentages are but I'd say it's over 50% of the homeless aare the way they are due to mental health issues. I often wonder if during the Reagan asministration if they didn't gut mental healthcare in the US that put a lot of people on the streets, would the homeless problem still be as big as it is now?
I knew that, I just wanted you to think you pulled a fast one over on me. That is a healthy looking fish though.
I worked many years selling building supplies and heard stories of regret for only partially completing a job.You really get screwed in the long run if you dont do some things right.
IMHO thats one of them and problems such as that can happen again in the winter with a whole set of additional problems.
Not the opinion of the group and your milage may vary

The worse pain for me is a toss up between two things, both connected to when i had my double bypass. The first one was when I was first coming to in the ICU after the surgery. They were spraying small amounts of fluid into my lungs to induce coughing and then they would have me trying to get to a certain point on that device they want you to inhale on to raise puck like piece in order to exercise your lungs. It hurt too much to get it to where they wanted so they kept at it for about 30 minutes or so. The other moment was about three days after the surgery when they removed the drainage tubes from my abdominal cavity. I was relatively comfortable when the docotor came in my room and started checking where the tubes came out. I thought he was just inspecting things but he was actually cutting the stitches holding things in place. Then without me knowing what was getting ready to happen he told me to turn my head and cough. When I coughed he yanked the drainage tubes out in one swift motion and I experience an intanse blinding burst of pain. Fortunately it wore off pretty quickly but man of man for those first few seconds the pain seemed unimaginable for what they actually did to me.
What I've noticed about pain and memory the further you get from a particular moment of pain you begin to forget what the pain actually felt like. which is a blessing I think. You still remmmember if it was really bad or just moderate, etc but it is harder and harder to specifically remember then sensation. Like with the two moments I described in the previous post that happen quite a few years ago. I still remember that the pain was intense and among the worst pain I'd ever felt but I don't really remember the exact sensation.Ehh - maybe not such a good question- since it pains psychologically to remember physical pain - but you ain't never gonna forget it - that's for sure - maybe physical pain is good? - reminding you that you are VERY much alive - and ya gotta do something to alleviate that pain
- or it's just gonna get worse - maybe even before it ever gets better -
As for being able to adjust our 'Pain Threshold' - to be able to cope with more pain - does that really work well? - I've seen a fair bit of pain over the years - so I think that I'm an old pain campaigner - and nothing should shock me - but it sure did when I did a heavy sneeze - after having my chest wired shut - and maaaan - that must have hit a twelve - on a one to ten scale -
nope its life

If I’m talking to someone about any thing in particular, if something catches my eye, my memory of the conversation disappears and I focus on what caught my eye… I usually remember within a few seconds where I was going with the conversations but I know that it’s getting worse. I can remember details from 5060 years ago, but I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night unless I think about it…
That's not a problem I'm experiencing yet at age 64 but lots of people experience that problem as they get older. There are a number of nootropic solutions that can help with that which are based on several different types of mushrooms. I don't remember all the different types but the one that usually ends up being the main ingredient is a type of mushroom called Lion's Mane.
here in california, they are bringing back where a persons family can have them institutionalized if they feel they cant care for themselves on their own
Can't tell you how many times I lost my phone and looked all over the house looking for it and finally realized it was in my back pocket.
