'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I didn't realize until last night that my kneecap is all one swollen bruise. Oops. No wonder it still hurts!
You know, I have never been able to see flickering refresh rates.
Oh, god. I have to change my screen resolution to run a macro, and even in the few seconds it takes me to up the refresh rate, I get all pukey and cross-eyed.
Annual review in an hour. t sigh
I hope we get there too, Jars. It makes a huge difference.
I have track lighting that I can't simply change to CFL, and other than that one more light to switch over. My apartment's all blue. It's weird.
I tried fleur de sel caramel at Trader Joe's a few days ago. Really good.
I've got an endocrinologist appointment today. Last time, he essentially told me that it doesn't matter how crappy I feel, my TSH levels aren't high enough to require treatment. This time, I am armed with a few old tests (showing that my TSH has risen significantly in the past year, so no, this level is not "normal" for me -- it's not even with the stated "normal" range, either, it's just not far enough above "normal" for him to think it requires treatment.)
You can get CFLs in warmer colors. Mine are all CFLs except a few converted oil lamps, which are not friendly to CFL shapes. They're hardly ever on, though.
Yeesh, Hil -- nothing quite like being told "I don't care if you feel shitty" by your doctor, of all people. (Even if it's not how he meant it.)

A doctor told my early-pregnant friend on Monday "After doing an ultrasond, I don't see anything. So, the only proof we have that you are pregnant is that you say you are." Nice, you know?
Are they flourescent lights? If so, for about an hour it's a wash, because regular flourescents use most of their energy in starting up. With regular lights, we're talking about a few cents a light, at most. If she's worried about energy efficiency, tell her to turn down the thermostat.
They are fluorescent. Sadly, we don't have control over the temperature here.
Hil, A friend of mine went to a naturopath who diagnosed her with thyroid issues after a doctor said her thyroid was in normal range. (I can't remember if she has an overactive or underactive.) Anyway, I think she was treating it with homeopathic remedies and dietary changes.

Yeah, nice, and also, couldn't Doc just make the woman pee on another stick? I mean, isn't that the whole idea of pregnancy testing?
Hormones really do exist! They're not just in your head; they're in your pee too!
