Re: Random randomness
I taught my daughter to make scrambled eggs this year and she's just now, months later become obsessed with them. If I have to smile and eat any more scrambled eggs I think I'm gonna turn into an egg.
Every day, eggs? Making eggs, do you want some? Eggs!? Anyone?
Saying no thanks results in a crestfallen look that is heartbreaking.
Sure, I'd love some eggs, honey.

Re: Random randomness
Begun, the Scallop Wars have.
The French Navy is ready to intervene if clashes between French and British fishermen over access to scallop-rich seabeds erupt again on the open seas, Agriculture Minister Stephane Travert said on Tuesday.
Travert said he had spoken to his British counterpart and that talks between the two sides were due on Wednesday after French vessels chased their rivals out of the Baie de Seine last week.
British fishermen accused the French of ramming their vessels and hurling projectiles. Disgruntled French fishermen, unhappy that their British rivals can dredge for scallops year round while they are barred from doing so during summer months, said they came under a violent counter-attack.

How much $$$ does he have lyin' around? ( )Smoove_B wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 3:57 pm I think I need to start a [Dads] thread to keep track of these great stories. Today my dad asked me if I could get him a wireless speaker. Of course the question is only part of the fun, because of course you want to know what a 72 year old man with an answering machine wants with a wireless speaker.
The answer is that he wants to be able to play his vinyl albums on a record player in their basement but hear them in the living room. I'm sure most of you are thinking, why not just move the record player to the living room? However, that's apparently not an option here as it bothers my mother. The record player is from 1972 (I think) so I explained that maybe there's some type of magic receiver I could connect it to that would then broadcast via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. This seems like a lot of work, but if a 72 year old man wants me to run this down, I guess I will. In doing some quick research they apparently make turntables with Bluetooth transmitters already built in, so for added hilarity I'll see if he wants that instead.
I don't know if this is a normal relationship for an adult child to have with their parents, but sometimes I feel like a concierge that dabbles in bizarre requests.

Re: Random randomness
Even normal record players are sill expensive. Ive seen a simple crappy turntable go in the $200 range. I mean these things were like $29 once...ya like 30 years ago but still . I should get my stereo/turntable/8track player out of the closet. I was so proud of that when dad gave it to me for my 8th bday in 1977. I got pics still Me and my so 1970s tshirt on. Might have had my Texas Instruments Series 500 black with red LCD wristwatch on too..not sure

I'm getting older and even with glasses I sometimes find text on webpages to be difficult to read. On a desktop, ctrl-(+) or ctrl-(-) can be used to increase or decrease font size for most browsers.

Re: Random randomness
Man this is weird:
Vertigo! Normal movement is fine, but a couple of times a day (usually when standing from a sit) I'll suddenly get the feeling that I'm falling sideways to the right, so much so that I have to grab something to keep from actually doing it.
Weirdest of all, when I lie in the bathtub and go fully underwater on my back (it's been sweaty and humid and gross here, so I've bathed a couple of times a day), I get an instant and overpowering sensation of spinning and falling. It completely feels like the floor of my bathtub has fallen out and I'm whirlpooling down. When I sit up rapidly again, my balance is so off that I almost flop out of the tub onto the floor. This is so strong that it's actually reproducible; I just tested it.
I thought it was a pre-migraine symptom, but it's been with me for three days, and I haven't had a headache. I assume it must be related to some sort of sinus pressure/infection/deathcurse.
Anyone else ever deal with this? This is completely new to me.

Re: Random randomness
Only time I ever had anything like that it was a few years back. Well like 12 or so. I would be in bed and either turn over or wake up and be SUPER dizzy. The bed and room would spinning. Id have to lay back or grab the wall to know it wasn't and just wait it out. Lasted maybe 30 sec or less but was intense. Its not happened since but did it multiple times over a couple years.

Re: Random randomness
i was just about to suggest this, as this happened to me a few years ago. i had problems with balance and i nearly fell over once a day, and generally felt literally 'off-kilter'. i went to the doctor and he said 'turn your head left and right really hard ten times fast' and after i did that, i felt instantly better.
