Chats In The Belfry

I have another headache today too but CME from X flare just arrived an hour ago. Explains it for me, maybe for others also. I talked with a woman on Wednesday who told me she had a terrible migraine that day. I thought, that's interesting .. I have a headache today .. let me go check in with Ben. Sure enough, pretty intense solar activity all this week. Well I hope you feel better soon, headaches are a drag.

 

who is ben....are we supposed to know him?

 

my headache lives with me..

ben was a rat...that was weird...a love song about a rat

 

You know Tyrson... I almost never get headaches. I'm such a big baby about them when I do, but a B-complex vitamin usually knocks them out for me.

Ever try that?

 

Usually Ibuprofen wipes them out... I calmed down some but it's still there.

 

If yours is truly environmental sensitivity (caused by the solar activity), ibuprofen or other pain killers will usually be ineffective. I did some research a while back and found the branch of science called Heliobiology, which explains it. Sort of. There isn't very much info on it but there is some out there.

 

Someone at the pub just had a dig at me for paying 2k on a German shepherd and my dad comes straight in tells this **** to fuck off

"Mate, this dog has a fucking better pedigree than yourself... So fuck off" rofl.
Anyhoo we are going to show him in a month and pretty excited about,training going awesome and he's picking it up and understanding what we want out of him. It's awesome.

 

If there isnt much info on it im not sure i would trust it...there are things with lots of info that get proven wrong later.

 

I've recently taken to wearing a ball cap. It's very unlike me, generally, but I got two that have nothing to do with sports, so I can wear them - after like a week of getting in the habit, I feel naked and cold without it when there's no sun, and naked and hot without it when the sun is out. One is from an excellent bbq joint, and the one I've been wearing more is from sk tools (sent as a promotion, with a 20mm wrench, and tool wipes - pretty awesome, as the hat was all I signed up for, but they got flooded, so to make up for the delay, sent out a bunch of wrenches - though of course, they were crafty and sent 20mm stubbies, the one wrench that you will NEVER need (but when you need that sort of thing, it's all that will work - so it's great to have)).

The solar flare stuff got me thinking, if it really bothers you, why don't you get a hat and line it with metal? Not aluminium, I think, but maybe steel, or a steel screen, depending on the wavelength of radiation you want to keep out. I don't know that it'd do anything, but.... you tell me. Even if it didn't, placebo could easily cure all your ills (I mean, I believe they're caused by placebo and not the sun, anyway, but it can easily cure real problems too).

Speaking of tools, just got a 40pc socket set for my friends son's sixth birthday. I'm sure they'll be lost in like half an hour, but it was less than seven dollars, on account of being cheap chinese crap that I got an additional two bucks off of - thinking I'll get my kid one too, while that deal's going on - she likes tools and wrenching with me, and will probably flip that I got her friend a whole tool set while she has like two screwdrivers. Gotta foster kid's mechanical and tinkering inclinations.

And, I can secretly assess the quality of his, and see if I want a spare set for myself, in case of needing loaners or something. Hell, the box would probably be worth almost that to me. I have duplicates of my duplicates of my duplicates of my good tools, but, I also have an addiction, so.... more couldn't hurt. I do NOT loan out my good stuff, no matter how many duplicates I have.

 

Ha. You should see the size of the community who follow solar flares / space weather! So much for making ridicule of me, check out the source I've been following for over 2 years now. He's an amazing man who made a fantastic enterprise out of his passion. http://www.observatoryproject.com/

I'll get right on that placebo.

p.s. Head coverings serve a purpose .. that's why religious people wear various head coverings. Non-religious people do the same thing, they're called baseball hats. Welcome to Revelations.

 

Unfortionately, you can't have a placebo if you're aware that it's placebo.

Of course they serve a purpose - and I think they're just called hats, in general. I already had a few, just nothing that was convenient to wear on a regular basis. I have my obligatory lacquered straw texbag hat, a felt australian hat, and a handful of caps from railroads and such. But the sk tools hat makes me feel more qualified and richer than I am, it's fun - but not as dishonest as if I was wearing around a snap-on hat or something. (I have an sk ratchet, a wrench, a single socket, and a few screwdrivers - I have a few snap-on sockets - but sk is a lot closer to my price range, I'd buy them instead of duralast (them being made in the US (and thus, not selling out the world economy, and not sending our know-how to china and losing self sufficiency) and not much more expensive) if I had a local store that stocked them)

Of course, I also have hair, so I'm ahead of most males in that regard. But wind and hair has the potential to royally piss me off.

I would shield a hat just for shits and grins - maybe statistically, you'd have clearer thought, as our brains are electronic devices, but wearing a hat that couldn't breathe and had a metal lining would be absolutely insufferable.

 

Im not a tool collector. i buy them and throw them in the box to never be seen again.. I dont know but around 145/2pm I had a pretty wild range of pissed offness that come out of nowhere.

 

That's not true. I have magical thinking. I can make my placebo do whatever the frig I want it to - especially if I'm aware that it's placebo.

You know those caps with the beer holders on each side? You should get one that holds tools. No, I'm just kidding. I'd stop hanging out with you if you did that. Want to know what pisses me off? Loose hairs. They're everywhere .. all.of.the.time. Super annoying.

 

If you can do whatever you want with a placebo why dont you do it without one

 

good morning stoners.....

 

ambivalent predawn here

 

I'm afraid it's the same here, and it doesn't stop there. Headache, neck pain, a running nose, I rarely have them but when I do I better spend the day on my own 'cause I will annoy people with it...

 

great adjective for pre-dawn....nicely done
