    Does iray eat up the battery?

    You are thinking of electric rays, a major hazard for battery powered buoys at sea.

    ...well it does if, as DanaT mentions, you are using a notebook computer and renders are taking forever to complete.

    But...does Lectric Shave™ pose a hazard?  That's the real burning question.

    You're revealing your age!   Are you nostalgic about "Mail Pouch" barns too? surprise

    Ah, the good ol' days.  I really miss the smell of leaded gasoline in the morning. frown

     

    I'm 58 and seriously occasionally nostalgic.  I miss travelling with my parents across the US, stopping at every Stuckys in middle America!  Let's get stuck at Stuckys!

    ...I'm 64 and totally wax nostalgic these days (comes with the territory).

    The Met offfice has threatened us with freezing rain, snow and T,storms for Easter weekend.

    If we cancel funding for the Met Office, will they stop throwing bad weather at us?

    ...guess it's worth a try.

    Wow, that last guy basically guessed it!  Very funny!

    The show was  "What's My Line?".  The host was John Daly (WWII war correspondent, CBS radio news reporter, and voice of Superman on early radio).  Many of us old farts remember that "that last guy" was Bennett Cerf, founder of Random House publishing, and author of joke books.  The other two regulars on the panel in that episode were Dorothy Kilgallen (Journalist), and Arlene Francis (actress).  I don't know who the other man was.  But missing regular from the panel was Kitty Carlisle (singer, actress,  & wife of playwright Moss Hart).

    I hate the feeling I have to visit the lady's room when I am on my computer in a public setting like a mall.  I got to pack everything up and hope the spot near the outlet is still there when I come back.

    Level tunnels are OK, but it works in tunnels on slopes too. indecision  But doesn't work so well around tunnel curves.  You're just kind of in the dark. frown

    ..it ended for me when Purdue got bounced out by TTU.  Why oh why couldn't it have been Kansas instead? They're more like a pro team in college disguise.

    they want me to go for a bone density test.

    they didnt mention important details like, are there needles involved.  without those details, i not going.

    why do they talk like i'm not sitting right there?

    why do they talk about tests like the money for it grows on trees?

    cant even imagine what the national medical debt is like

    From my experience, many doctors don't think you're smart enough to understand them.  When a doc tries that on me, I change docs. Arrogent bastards (and not the beer).

    EVERY doc I have known assumes that you can find a way to pay.  Every damn one.  They all seemed shocked when I sarted asking how much things would cost, as if I were asking God how much a miracle is going to set me back.  My last doc I forced to confirm insurance would pay for anything over $300, he got used to it.  About half the tests he ordered, I declined.  They just weren't meaningful enough.

    Docs seem to forget I csn hit Johns Hopkins medical database online and figure out if it's critical or a wanna.  It's like they think insurance will pay everything, or that your willing to sell your house, car, kids, to pay for this stuff!

    $%#%$$@ medical system.  This won't help you feel any better, unless you're already filing for bankruptcy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_debt

  • LeatherGryphonLeatherGryphon Posts: 12,220

    I have several doctors in my extended family.  Nice lives, big houses, exotic vacations.  Nice people.  Smart people.  But politically naive and against anything that threatens their paycheck.  Prime belief seems to be that everything needs a test.  They make money somehow from tests, if only to charge for interpreting the results of the test whether it helps you or not.  Heaven help you when you go into the hospital, they call in doctors left and right to get opinions and order tests.  Then two months after you get out you start receiving bills from doctors you don't remember, and partially paid bills from insurance companies, and it continues for months afterwards.  You never feel comfortable that the bills are over and done with.  I've had bills come 6 months later.  I've heard stories of insurance claims taking years to settle.  It all seems like a giant shell game with an invisible pea. indecision

    so i'm not being unreasonable ?

    i agreed to the carrotidd test, they do it right there in the dr office.

    Brie (*shudder*).  I'm sorry, I can eat, and in fact, love Blue Cheese with patches of slimy blue mold, yes but I cannot stomach Brie.  For me, it's like what I imagine licking great globs of day old horse snot would be.  (*Ewww ewww... shudder*)   Cheese can crumble, and flake, and sweat and even stink, but I'm sorry, cheese should not jiggle and ooze. frown  (with the exception of Velveeta but we all know that's not really cheese anyway indecision)
