How long does Alder last in the ground?
Boy! Did you ever hit an OLD memory. When I was a little kid, I got terribly ill.

Grandma went out to our red alder tree and got a bunch of seeds and crushed them up. Gave them to me with water to stop my nausea and headache. This would have been @1944/1945. It seemed to work.

I haven't been to the farm in forty years, but the tree is gone when I Google Earth'd it.

which one of you OF's did it?

A Gold Coin Worth THOUSANDS Donated to Salvation Army!​


Krugerrands are most ricky-tick NOT rare. They are the most easily recognized and traded gold coin in the world. They ARE worth "thousands" each:

Essentially: Spot gold plus @ 4% <-- A very sound investment.

But I cannot bring myself to donate one of mine to the Salvation Army.

Finally got to have Face Time with the grandkids and my son today for an hour, kept missing them yesterday.
Never thought the day would come that I would enjoy be called Grampa.

My son reminded me not to send gift cards in the mail because last year someone at the post office stole the gift cards out of the envelope, assholes!

"Thou shalt seek and respect the opinions of operators, even until the third helper, for theirs is a wisdom unknown to technocrats."

"Thou shalt seek and respect the opinions of Technocrats, for theirs is a wisdom unknown to Operators."

There is a need for both the tradesmen and the engineers, as well as for a better systems of integrating their combined resources and skills.

Where the system falls apart is worker classes. It form layers of "them-and-us" instead of a smoothly coordinated effort where everyone wins.

Each layer feels superior to the layer below them and disdainful of those above them.

I ended up an engineer but the way that I learned how mechanical things work was growing up poor enough to have to build and fix my own toys and the way I learned to do CAD and engineering calculations was in class.

As an project engineer, the first thing I did before designing a piece of equipment was sit down with the people who are performing the task and will be operating the new equipment and the last thing I did before sending it out for quote was to get the operators sign-off on the design.

Everyone in that chain was a critical part, from the native knowledge of the operator, to the design knowledge of the engineer, to the craftsmen who end up building the equipment, and those who deliver it.

It's another antibiotic that can cause tendon damage according to what I just read. YIKES

Do you have personal experience with Levaquin?
It hospitalized my wife once and made her much sicker the other time. We made her family doctor put in her medical records that she is allergic to it, to avoid any temptation for a future doctor to prescribe it.

Antibiotics...life saver or life taker, depends on the individual.

When I was septic I had to take several different antibiotics to find one that would work. They were powerful antibiotics, I did not feel well from either the sickness/antibiotics.

What was fortunate, is the fact my family doctor diagnosed the sepsis. I recall him saying to me your septic, ok, what is that. I found out many doctors fail to diagnose sepsis from regular bacterial infections. People end up dying because of how fast your body is taken over with blood poisoning. Good thing he took my blood pressure.
