After 3 weeks in hospital they finally found the tablets they were giving me caused me to have low blood pressure, so they changed my meds.
I may have to go back to the OTHER hospital though.

Nice to see you again. :biggrin:

Sorry to hear about the health problems, Woolie. Hope you get a doctor that actually pays attention and monitors your condition before and after starting you on the new meds.

Be well!

^^I have never heard this song before and I do not like it at all, I understand how it can stick in your head though, simple refrain, rhythmic repetition. This happened to me with "The Thong Song." I actually stopped listening to the radio because I could not escape it even on the rock station LOL and then I ended up liking it -_- but I hate it again now :biggrin:

The question was "things you love to hate" and half the responses mention Wolram. I don't love to hate you Wolram. In fact I'm pretty PO'd at myself over it.

Half smoked cigarettes on the street. When I see one I do the "Happy Dance" on it. :biggrin:
 
  • #18
I remember times when half smoked cigarettes lying on the streets were a delicious rarity.

Not that I ever collected them, but I knew people who did.

Meeting a tourist on the corner and being asked where the Empire State Building is. :rolleyes:
I just point straight up while looking them in the eyes.

And I use to be a smoker. Now I know too many people sick from them so I more than hate them. I do feel a sense of guilt knowing someone is scrounging for something to smoke. They are around 12.00 a pack here now.

Just about anything I don't love, I love to hate. Things I really hate I ignore.. unless I have to step over it.

specifically the flats of oakland (from downtown to san leandro,below macarthur), though there are a lot in the bay area.

never gets old seeing 5 thuggish dudes parading without their shirts on, ghetto booty, collection of students on the corner, ridiculous cars, and of course, the fights and general stupidity.

I don't love it, but I hate when wolram doesn't post and disappears.

Wolram, you must tell us if you are going to be out of touch. I get so many pm's about how you're doing!

I hate when I call a company to arrange a prescription refill, etc, and have to spend 10 minutes wading through their ridiculous menu system, and still can't get an actual human. I pay for the wait and the irritation, and the company I'm calling probably gets a nice fat kick-back from the phone company.

Sometimes, however, they just repeat the menu when 0 is pressed, and when this happens and I have already been through half the menu, my phone hits the wall with a considerable force.

This freakin breaks my heart.
I was a member of the Oakland community growing up. I remember as a young person someone attacking grandpa in the garage. We knew back in the 60's the area was changing. We were only a few blocks from Lake Merit. It was so beautiful then.

I really hate the word "spicket" and I hate to hear people saying it :grumpy: Maybe because it is not really a word...but it drives me crazy!

"Oh we can put a spicket there and there and " GAH
