Most of my FB friends have figured out that food photos are gauche, but I still have one who likes to commemorate her fancy plates.

Human eyes don't do so well at operating independently. When your eye is injured such that a regular nightlight seems so bright that it feels like you're staring into a flashlight, your brain closes both of your eyes, regardless of how much you try to convince it that only one is necessary. When your eye is injured and your system starts pouring tears out of one of them to clean and heal it (so intensely that tears start draining out of your nose), both eyes end up wet.
The benefit of having a palsy in one of my eye muscles? I have no empathy for how others see. I have no depth perception and my eyes seem to work independently of each other, even if the only way my brain knows how to cope with it is to only see out of one eye or the other. It gets quite distracted and confused when it tries to focus using both eyes at the same time and double vision goes wild.

This has happened before and cleared up in an hour or two. This time, though, I'm 20 hours in and still feeling the numbness. Same on my right hand, pinky finger. It's odd. I'm not sure what to do with it. Everything works fine. No pain or motor degredation. Just a feeling like they're asleep.

Numbness and tingling in the ring finger and little finger are common symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment. Often, these symptoms come and go. They happen more often when the elbow is bent, such as when driving or holding the phone. Some people wake up at night because their fingers are numb.

About 15 - 20 years ago it seems my father n law sold a small strip of the yard on one side to that neighbor on that side. Its just a small strip maybe 25' wide. It was edged with a wire fence and trees. The neighbor left it alone though and we continued to use it. Our clothes line was there along with a rose bush that was my father n laws mother's offshoot, and a apple tree. Well when my FiL passed away the neighbor moved right in on it. He mowed down the rose bush before I could even get a piece of it to replant elsewhere. He cut the apple tree down and then pulled up the half of the clothes line pole on his side. This year he cut all those trees down so now its one big open space on that side of my home. Lovely. He parks his carry trailer there .
Anyways we had a wild grape or muscadine vine that was on that property. Its gone but I have a bush on my side that has it growing in it now. Seems birds use the bush and poop out seeds. Theres all kinds of overgrowth I need to clean out of that bush but Id like to keep the vine...just somewhere else. Is there anything to know about doing this?
Like...do I just dig it up and move it? Do I wait on grapes to grow next year then save those seeds? Will a cutting work? Just how and when I do this will be important I know. I have a lot of cutting to do to keep my trees and bushes alive. Theres Kudzu moving into the place and its got to go.
Giving my arm some experimental twists and stretches brought on a light feeling like rushing blood. I'll keep stretching and add this to the list of things to discuss with my PCP when I finally get around to going.LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 9:43 amUlnar nerve entrapment?Paingod wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 9:30 am After my 30 mile ride this weekend, the inside of my ring finder and little finger on my left hand (the area facing each other) was numb, felt like it was asleep and almost in the pins and needles phase.

I'm always in favor of Mexican, but that sounds more breakfast-lunch-y. The Jamaican place sounds like it could be a winner. So my vote is 'a'.hepcat wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 3:30 pm What do I want for dinner?
a. Try a Jamaican place I've not been to before for Jerk Chicken, peas and rice and stewed cabbage?
b. Go to my usual Mexican restaurant for huevos con chorizo?
c. Go to the Pakistani restaurant for either chili chicken or butter chicken...even if there's still rampant construction going on and it takes me 20 minutes to find a goddamn parking spot.

Renowned French chef Marc Veyrat on Tuesday announced he had sued the France-based Michelin Guide after the restaurant guidebook authority demoted his La Maison des Bois in Manigod, France, from three stars to two earlier this year. Veyrat claimed Michelin’s reviewer wrongly determined a cheese souffle as having cheddar in it; Veyrat said the color was from saffron used in the dish and is now seeking documentation from Michelin to explain its decision.
“They dared to say that we put cheddar in our souffle of reblochon, beaufort, and tomme,” Veyrat told French magazine Le Point in July. “They have insulted our region; my employees were furious."
A court hearing is set for Nov. 27 in Nanterre, Agence France-Presse reports.
...
Veyrat’s restaurant, roughly 100 miles east of Lyon, was first awarded the coveted three-star Michelin ranking in 2018. Much of the food in the $330-to-$430 tasting menu comes from the restaurant’s own botanic gardens and orchards.

When Anthony Mancinelli became a barber nearly a century ago, Warren Harding was in the White House, a haircut cost 25 cents and leeches were still used to treat high blood pressure.
As hairstyles changed over the decades, he adapted.
“I cut them all,’’ he told The New York Times last year, “long hair, short hair, whatever was in style — the shag, the Buster Brown, straight bangs, permanents.”
“I have some customers, I cut their father, grandfather and great-grandfather — four generations,” he added.
Bike lanes are remarkably divisive.A neighborhood meeting in Park Slope descended into a belligerent free-for-all on Wednesday night, after the event’s invited speaker spewed conspiracy theories about a pedophile-linked bike lobby, then shoved a well-known cycling advocate.

Over loud objections, Halpern presented an exclusive look at his unfinished film, “Betrayal on 14th Street,” a fawning portrayal of the Manhattan residents who have successfully stymied a busway planned for the corridor, and are seeking to rip out two adjacent bike lanes.
Roughly half the attendees jeered at the film, decrying it as propaganda. A man in an FDNY shirt, who declined to give his name, threatened cyclist Brian Fulton-Howard: “I’ll beat your ass.”

The two-hour event wrapped up with a lengthy monologue from Perfetto, who dispensed with his attempts at impartial moderation to claim that bike activists had “authorized” and successfully covered-up his friend’s death many years ago.
