Hmmmm. Any outside inputs into this thing or your software? Temperature sensors? Date/time input?

Are the outputs of the two the same on subsequent runs? i.e. Unit A always outputs 1.1 and unit B always outputs 1.11?

I sent a message via my log-in to C1, asking pretty please advise when funds will show available. I love kowtowing to the devil.

It's not my bank's fault. Last time C1 conferenced me and my bank who said "yes the funds are there." My bank is local. I know these people. C1 is corporate evil.
Did you get your money yet?

I don't think it's stress - things have been going really well here recently. I didn't get Mum's news after after the second one had already hit.

Today - being spooked as all hell at still not being able to keep water down after 5 days, I got a telephone appointment. Which was a great plan, but the Cod wanted to see me anyway - urgh.

Gave a pee sample - yes, I could have guessed I'd be dehydrated Also a trace of blood in the urine, so it's had to go off to be analysed. My blood pressure is also very high, but that's something to watch on an ongoing basis she says.

Apart from that, I've had a reaction to the codeine I was prescribed for the pain on Tuesday and this is what has been making me hurl incessantly and making my eyes so sensitive and my face itchy. Grumble grumble stupid body.

So current plan of attack. Eat after I throw up, so as much can be retained by my body as possible. Take Nurofen (ibroprofen) migraine tablets at this point too for the same reason - also can't take them on an empty stomach.

Keep taking sips od tepid water, and trying to trick my body into bland flabby foods as much as possible.

It nearly worked with the strawberry Muller Rice. Nearly in that it hadn't been down enough to taste bad, and after all it was soft. Not quite so keep on the smell of strawbs now though.

That's awful SG. You probably already tried it: but does massaging neck, shoulders, head and ears help any?
If your blood pressure is that high, did the doc mention it could be causing the migraine? I remember my mom had blood pressure related migraines before the meds.
Best wishes!

My buddy with diabetes had to have a toe removed. He seems in good spirits, but it's still a bummer.

Stupid car. Now the passenger side window is stuck halfway open. And it's rainy. Probably means a new motor? Like -- $300?

Clearly, must start saving money in earnest for a new car. Next year, perhaps.

Power windows. Just one more thing on a car to break, and totally unnecessary. I'll choose a manual crank any day. Do they even make any with manual cranks any more?

Mine comes with a crank in the front driver's seat.

I agree. The power windows always seem to break, but they don't put hand cranks on anything but the very cheapest cars.

kludge.

My stereo bluetooth headset keeps having issues with the contacts in the removable part that attaches the right/left side earpiece, making it cut out, and making me have to constantly fuck with it if I move at all.

Doesn't *anything* just WORK?

Fixing crap in this house never goes according to plan. Gotta order another damn part and wait a week for it to arrive.

I have an ear blocked with water from swimming yesterday. Ive tried heated oil, rubbing alcohol mixed with vinegar, listerine, the hairdryer and every other rememdy Ive come across.

No pharmacies open in this town today, so I cant go eat anything over the counter.

I cant hear and Im off balance.
