this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can tell an enormous difference when The Boy takes Ritalin vs. when he doesn't. (Though every once in a while he's in total "Oooh shiny" mode and I'll ask him if he took his Ritalin and he says yes, and all I can do I shake my head and conclude that the shiny was extra-mega shiny that day.)

ION, the combination of (1) my paranoia, (2) my father's fully founded paranoia, (3) IBS, (4) a strenuous workout, and (5) a new antidepressant's side effects have combined to make me consider whether I was having a heart attack.

Not in a hugely serious way, but still. My dad is total gloom-and-doom Eeyore (though with good reason when it comes to the ol' ticker), and so he attributes any and every twinge to a heart attack.

Cymbalta's most common side effects are nausea and fatigue (2 of the more common, frustratingly vague heart attack symptoms).

I worked out hard today, including the press-ups (like push-ups, but not) that I have to do for my back; if I haven't done them in a while, they make my arms feel weak later.

My tummy is gaseous, as always.

In conclusion, the nausea, fatigue, stomach upset, and weak arms (including the left one), combined with my dad's doom and gloom prophesying, made me a little freaked out.

And then I remembered that there are strong, attributable, closely time-linked antecedents for each of those symptoms, and I need to perhaps chill out. So I'm chilling.

And ND, since you've just recently posted, you wouldn't happen to have the Nav System DVD for your car would you? I need to reset my nav and have found every single piece of documentation for the car other than the blasted DVD. Would you, by chance, have a copy of yours and be willing to loan it?

I do have the DVD but for my NAV system to work it has to be in the DVD drive in the dash. What year is your 335i? Mine is a 2007 and I don't know if they changed the way the NAV works in later years.

“Not dead yet!”

Argh. Mine's a 2008 and the way I recall it working was that it was inserted to download the local maps, but the DVD didn't need to be 24/7 for it to work.

I may have to ahem the files and see if that works.

Hmm, unless they moved to a Hard Drive based system in 2008 the DVD needs to be in the player in the dash so that it's got the maps. The moment I pull my DVD out I've got nothing from my NAV system.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If anyone wants a Mac Widget that counts down the time until Spring starts, let me know.

sarameg, insent.

Rather than use Tom Scola's excellent code, I downloaded a widget that counted down to x-mas 2010 and just changed it. I didn't modify the graphics, so it's a nice festive red color. I tell myself that's the color of dead stuff about to come to life....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

tommyrot, I think I need it too, please. Profile addy should be good. Thank you!
