    Well, since you decoded your post for me, I'll try to return the favor and decode my post.


    "Outside The Wire" is what I call anyplace on the whole TTR forum that is not WIIS. I feel that I am with like minded individuals on this thread. I like it here because it feels like we're all sitting around on milk crates in someone's garage, just shooting the breeze.

    There's an entity on TTR that I refer to as "Piss Jug Boy" because one of the first posts I saw from him was a multi-page tirade about how in his (then) "two years' experience", he has never used a piss jug, and couldn't understand why anyone would do such a thing.

    He has some sort of college degree, and has belittled other members for what he perceives as a lack of intelligence.

    Anyway, a few days ago he started a thread in which he "showed the math" that the average driver makes $21.50 an hour, and has to put up with weeks away from home, cameras in the truck, yadda yadda. Then asked, "Why is this acceptable?"

    Let's just say, the replies he got didn't exactly jump start "the trucker revolution".

    Edited all his posts on that thread to "."

    You can PM me if you really want more specifics.....but I wasted my time over there so that you don't have to.


    Also, after you mentioned "blue light therapy", I was trying to post a police car gif, because that's what I thought you meant.

    Couldn't get it to work, though....

    True.

    HOWEVER,

    I was scheduled for one in Dayton this past Monday.

    I called the facility and asked if the MRI machine was an open or closed one. They said closed.

    I told them I'm a large guy, and objectively "fat", but not "beached-whale-Walmart-Waddler" fat.

    She says, "No problem, it's a LARGE BORE machine".

    So I get up there, I fit into the machine, but my shoulders are touching both sides of the machine, which means the magnetic coil they put on my shoulder was touching the side of the machine, which apparently was no bueno.

    They could not get any "diagnostically useful images".

    So, went to an open scan in Cinci, got back to the house an hour ago. The traffic already sucks so I'm not going back out for anything. And I'll probably take a nap.

    Maybe the greatest species on the planet. Found him dead (I thought)it was 36F. Left him alone and brought potted plants into the breezeway that has heat….

    8 hours later he’s flying around when he notices me he went over to the glass door and buzzed it I opened it and he flew away . Hope the nest wasn’t too far it was only 45ish..
