So most of you if any do not know this but I have struggled through a lot over my life and recently a few health conditions that I put to the side even though I knew I shouldn't but I am so busy with work (being a therapist is no walk in the park, just Thursday evening I had to deal with a 16 yo girl who told me she had access to a gun in her home and had made a plan but did not carry it out, to shoot herself in the head in July. Needless to say I had to tell her mom and she was terrified of how her mom would react. Her mom is a little unhinged herself. Needless today her mom was in shock as she never knew other than mood swings and anger that her daughter had suicidal thoughts and used to self-harm. I was very surprised that my client actually told her mother some of her feelings. She later text me thanking me for telling her mom with her and that it needed to happen. Although personally I hate guns, it is a american right to own one but the family agreed to lock the gun up (wtf was it doing just laying out in the first place, IMO any gun should be locked up) and sent it to her brothers until they get the case. Mom also plans to monitor her daughter more now that she knows. I have a real gift with kids and teens, and most are assigned to me at the clinic. Teen girls for some reason really open up to me. Likely because I am non-judgemental and have a very calm cool demeanor (yes for real, at work anyways, lol).

I also have a fiesty 10 year old in 5th grade, my ebay store etc etc.

So onto the medical, I am diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and finally took the plunge to try and treat it as incomfortable as the damn masks are. I tried maybe 10 plus years ago and gave up. I am on day 3 right now and so far I have been able to push through the minimum 4 hrs and according to my app even got a little sleep. I am exhausted because I am getting used to it but I can tell with a full nights sleep I will be top notch. I already was more productive today than in a long time. Though being tired, I was much less forgetful, had no migraines in the AM and less brain fog. Second maybe 6 mos ago I damaged my Right arm rotator cuff (no idea how) and put it off just dealing with the pain. I finally gave in and started PT about 4 weeks ago and what a difference! Sadly I only have till the 31st 2x a week, but they gave me a lot to do at home (granted I have been a bad boy with that one, though I did just finish my exercises for today.)

SO I am starting to feel a much happier person and glad to be a part of this big goofy bunch of weather nerds lol, all in good fun!

Urgh..horrible..
Especially since I am dying froma bad sinus infection, the heat does not help me feel better but Dr. said not to turn AC on as it could make it worse. Of course he forgot to call in my antibiotics and now the soonest I will be able to start it is Friday because I have to work past pharmacy closing time tomorrow night. Yes I am doing everything to get rid of it without but nothing is working.

Go out and get a Navage. Use it every night and add a few drops of 10% iodine. Just a few drops though. Light light tea color.
I have something similar a neti pot, thing is im so blocked up nothing will go through, it needs antibiotics at this point. the pressure is so bad ugg. Sorry I know this is banter. Even decongestants aren't working.

It is banter so if needed respond over here. A neti pot is a passage lavage. The Navage system is an active lavage. It will force the soln through and actively suck it out. The neti pot relys on gravity alone. Good luck. Hope you feel better.

Oh did not know that, will def consider it. I see they are up there but I can probably get one in the next month or 2.

WHAT A MESS! Homes in Montana were buried under tumbleweed as some piles rose so high that they flowed over the roofs of homes. #mtwx pic.twitter.com/VhQ9U1hGOW

Holy crow, brings back an old Slim Whitman song "Tumbling Tumbleweeds".

Never saw this before, must have been some wind to cause that mess.Glad I don't have to clean it,LOL.

I am noticing pellets are about the same as firewood. Cheap oil is $3.80 and full service oil dealers are $5.15 a gallon. In other words, everything is costly, about the same. Propane is lower. I have a kerosene heater for the garage to heat it when I do car work. It is a must have but yikes like $5.15 a gallon. My friend heats with coal. He uses four tons at $400 a ton. Lots of ash emptyimg and chimney washing. He spends less, works more. I do my own firewood off my land. I have too much really. My yearly oil use is 450 gallons. It took a while to get there. My banter is we all are paying about the same for heat (excluding natural gas). It’s a manipulated market

If anyone is looking to totally geek out this fine soggy Saturday morning, sip some coffee and enjoy this video.

Warning though. Be prepared for occasional moments of mind explosions. 🤯 🤯

Excellent video and thought provoking.
Nikola Tesla was a genius who had this down with the design of that small machine that picked up the natural vibrations and magnified them to the point where they almost brought down a building.His idea for transmitting electricity wirelessly was truly amazing.Doc, is that Tesla Tower still up in Long Island? That's where he planned to send electricity over to Europe.What a pity that idea never panned out.
That idea on plants is interesting as well.Read many years ago of an experiment done with two plants and three guys.The two plants were together in a room and one guy was picked to go in there and rip one plant to shreds in front of the other.A micro amp measuring device was inserted either in the soil or stem of the surviving plant.When the one guy was brought into the room who "murdered" the other plant, the meter took off.It had not registered when the two innocent guys came in.Energy, vibrations, geometry.
Those water crystals were snowflakes I guess.
I think one of the biggest tragedies of the last century was Tesla dying destitute in some fleabag NY City Hotel.His AC current idea, which Edison rejected, changed the world starting with the Chicago Exposition of 1893.

Tesla revolutionized our world. Upon his death which Edison and the Cabal at the time orchestrated, they took all of his files, tens of thousands of ideas, inventions, from the New Yorker Hotel Room where he last lived and died in and never to be seen or found again. He invented AC current and he worked for Edison for a short stint when he told Edison his DC current was not sustainable over distances. He actually was noted for his work on many of Edison invention patents edison recieved. Edison in a market ploy, brought in woman and children and investors, bankers, and politicians to witness the electrocution of a female African Bull Elephant to show the dangers of AC current that Tesla was touting. Ediosn then stole it from Tesla. Tesla had JP Morgan as his backer but once he witnessed this he pulled his money.
That tower in LI was torn down in the 50's.
There is so much more about Tesla, the man was a visionary and brilliant. He was not one of them, Rockefeller, Ediosn, Ford, Morgan, Carnegie etc etc so they had to destroy him which they did financially and psychologically.

Doc and Mugs the tower and building you’re referring is still standing, although I’m sure it’s a replica, thanks to a complete renovation of the grounds only about 2-3miles to my west in Shoreham. I’ll snap a picture of it. My buddy is one of the architects on the project actually. A lot of asbestos in there so things are slow go. I’ve seen some of the images from the run down insides of the complex. Pretty incredible. There are a couple of buildings on the grounds and my buddy was able to walk in the tunnels that connect them. Pretty cool stuff.
