Oh..., OK. Thank you. That's not one of the ones I take. Not to say I'm safe now, but at least I'm safe from that particular drug. And in my humble opinion 1 in 100 is not a rare situation when it comes to drug problems. 1 in 10,000 would be rare. 1 in 100 is like saying here are 16 six-shot handguns, they're all empty except for one of them that has one bullet in it, Pick one and shoot your head.
It's better odds than Russian Roulette but not a game I'd like to play. 
Complaint: Arghhhh..., another piece of electronic gear bites the dust. My primary computer monitor has zombified.
When I turn it on the manufacturer's ID screen appears but then the screen goes blank when the computer starts to output to it. I shouldn't complain, the poor thing is 10 years old and has been powered on nearly its whole life. However, I am dismayed because it was an expensive (at the time) HP monitor with lots of features and was my favorite because it had a stand designed to let you fit your keyboard underneath, out of the way, making more room on my desk when not in use. I substituted my secondary monitor and was relieved to see that the computer is still working properly but now this cheap Acer monitor shows its lack of sophistication and I'll have to try to calibrate the color and luminance again. Most distressing of all is that the monitor doesn't tilt at all. Harumph!

My parents had a CRT TV that went bad after 10 years or so. It was on almost all day.
My nylon stockings arrived. One of them has a hole in them. This is the last time I buy cheap, sheer stockings.
Call them "distressed" and you can say you didn't have to pay extra for the hole.
We're all kind of distressed, lately, aren't we?
I'm in the same position...holes in my jeans. But I keep seeing people with all kinds of tears, rips, and holes in their jeans, so I feel stylish rather than embarassed. I can't see paying good money for jeans that are already all cut up and holey. I also don't care for the idea of paying for a tee shirt that has a big Nike logo, or other logo, across the front. They should pay me to wear that...it's advertising. I wear New Balance shoes, and it's bad enough they have the N on the sides. But at least that's partly covered by my jeans. My nephew bought me a hoodie for Christmas last year, it's by Under Armor. I didn't buy it. But it does have Star Wars illustrations on it, and that stands out more than their logo.

.....that is scary. Did they give you anything for the ankle that may have caused an interaction to the BP meds?
In any event, that it easy.

..same here had a barkeep friend give me a nice holiday prezzie yesterday, several bottles of good Ginger Beer, some lemons, and a bottle of French VSOP Brandy: the perfect ingredients for my favourite drink, the Brandy Presbyterian.
Also included a framed pic of Guy Fieri. host of Diners Drive Ins and Dives. Every Friday she would have that on one of the tellys in the back bar at the pub I go to.
Going to have a nice B'day on Saturday.
...if you are on the north side of Long Island (Huntington I presume by your weather posts) you are in the 3rd Congressional district and your Representative is Tom Suozzi, You state Assembly Person (Assembly District 10) is Steve Stern, and your State Senator (State Senate District 5) is Carl L Marcellino. For Suffolk County your County Representative (County 18th District) is William Spencer.
Hope this helps
One more day of the adult daycare until after the Christmas.
...yeah I see that too. When we were young and got holes in our jeans, mum would sew/patch them up, If they were really threadbare (like some of those "fashion" ones that I see many young ladies wear which they pay big Zlotys for) she'd toss them into the rag bag. Never realised we were ahead of the fashion trend back then.
However when i was in grade school I wore a pair of Adidas track shoes (made in Germany then) not for style, but they because were light, had excellent arch support, were extremely comfortable (much more so than the old Converse™, PF Flyers™, and Keds™ available back then) and surprisingly, lasted quite a while.
Yeah, it's amazing that corporations have manipulated us into believing that we should pay extra for wearing clothing with their logos on it. I first realized it when I went into a hat shop to buy a simple baseball cap, you know, cloth cap with a cloth covered cardboard bill, plain color. They had some but they were a wee bit pricy, then I saw essentially the same hats but with the Nike logo on on them and reasoned that they would be less expensive because of the advertising. Yeah, right! Well, of course not.
They were twice as expensive.
I actually lost my cool and laid into the sales clerk about how we've been conditioned into paying for the privilege of advertising for the manufacturer.
As you said, they should be paying us. 
I remember sneakers in general lasted a lot longer back then. After all, I'd kick around in the dirt, run in the park, kicked cans down the street, kicked branches out of the way, climbed on big boulders, down a rocky cliff to the waterfront, walked all over the city, and sometimes out of town in the summer on adventures with my friend, all kinds of abuse...yet the only reason I had to get new ones was because I outgrew the size. I hardly do anything in them now, and they only last a few years before the start to get holes on the side and the tread wears low. I only wear them out of the house, I walk to the car, sit in the car as I drive, walk around in a store (not exactly rought terrain), the sit in the car again. They come off when I get in the house. They should last for decades! But, not so much.

Distressed jeans seem to be popular. One lady that I knew wore jeans with holes to a restaurant. Ankle high stockings feel weird around my legs. Maybe I'm not used to wearing 100% nylon stockings where the elastic is around the skinny part of my legs.

if anyone interested what the difference tween retinopathy and macular degeneration, this was helpful http://diabetescenter.blogspot.com/2010/09/diabetic-retinopathy-vs-macular.html
...you're welcome.
...yeah when I was still working got a pair of 120$ NIke sneakers as a perk (they were one of the company's clients). Dang things didn't even last 8 months and I pretty much live a rather sedate life as well. Those old Adidas track shoes easily lasted a year (when I grew out of them), and still looked like they had another couple years to go.
Complaint got to go to a day program today. Non complaint going to mum’s tomorrow and she is my favorite artist right now (for traditional art aka painting and drawing on paper).
I guess my favorite 3D artist is a list that includes RawArt and Lady Little Fox and Jack and etc etc etc etc.
"Holes in jeans to restaurant"... That reminds me of the time my other half told me of his day when I got home from work. My other half was handsome but vain and kept very good care of his appearance. He was losing his hair so he had a toupee and professional hair weaving. He'd have his nails manicured. He used makeup and wore silk shirts all the time. He was also quite sophisticated having during his life worked as butler for a couple of extremely rich households. OK, I've painted his picture now imagine that he's just come from the manicurist, and with fresh improvements to his hair and is sparkling in all his glory with wonderful jewelry and has his entire paycheck in cash in his pocket (he liked to carry cash) except that he has a pair of distressed jeans on which were the fashion of the young weathy at the time, and walks into the Ritz-Carlton hotel a block from the White House, the most prestigious hotel in Washington, DC at the time, for lunch. The Matre d' seats him but when the waiter swishes over to the table the waiter looks him over, spots his torn jeans and haughtily asks "do you have funds". To which my other half then stood up and replied loudly enough to be heard in the whole restaurant, in his most insulted manner (which he was good at) "Do I have FUNDS?, Do I have FUNDS?" Then started to pull several hundred dollar bills one after another from his pockets and slam them ceremoniously onto the table and asked again "Is this enough FUNDS to eat here?". The Matire d' quickly came over and appologized profusely, bawled out the waiter who then ran sobbingly embarrased into the kitchen. When my other half told me this story he added "It was a faggot battle and I won!"
SUN IS SCHEDULED TO PEEK OUT THIS CHRISTMAS DAY oops caps lock, don't feel like re typing.
Having known a couple of gay friends who were very good at the haughty insulted manner I can just imagine the scene. I don't know why it is but gay people seem to do it far far better than the straight guys. Although ,saying that, I can recall the friend who was my first hubbies best man having a go at an Italian waiter in a high class Italian restaurant when he felt said waiter had insulted my sister-in-law, who he fancied. We never did find out what he called the waiter as he was bilingual, having been working in Italy for years, and none of the rest of us spoke any Italian, despite no.1 ex and his sister both being a quarter Italian. I would imagine some of it was probably very colloquial and down to earth as the waiter was frightfully embarrassed.
WOW! What a bargain. Did the PC have a good Nvidia card with it? I wish I could get a new PC for free.
I'm actually about to set up a newly arrived PC, right now. Wish me luck, guys?
best of LUCK!

Um, oops I meant PC item as in a Platinum Club item, not a PC as in personal computer. I wish I could get a new PC for free, but so far the only "Computer" I found for free is a 3D model of a computer. And no no Nvidia card with it.
The weather dude gave a tarantula rain (yes, I know) warning this morning... then my phone gave me a NWS flash flood warning...
Usually my reaction to those is “Pffft”... The south shore of LI is all sand and porous as a sieve...
So I’m in my van/boat now looking at the overflowing lake next my kid’s school...
Lots of little creeks are crossing the roads they normally run under and there are a lot of really big puddles...
Unusual for the south shore... I’m wondering what the North Shore is like... there are actual hills and valleys there and much of it has clay below...
the sides of the roads are lakes and rivers, dirty rivers.
