Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

2 years ago today
Today is 2 years since open heart surgery. I woke up at 4:10 am that morning. The time I normally get up for work. I was out for almost 24 hours. I only remember about 10 seconds when they woke me after surgery.
My wife was next to me but I couldn't move head and didn't see her. Nurse said Hi Joe, Lisa is next to you and all went well.
That is all I remember. My wife later told me I got super violent and nurse restrained me then I stopped fighting and eyes were open and nobody was home.
I woke up and room was dark. There was a round clock in front of me. I hated that clock. With pain killers going through me I would doze off and wake up and look at clock. 3 min's went by. Felt like a week. In my drug induced mind I said to myself that must be one of those 72 hour clocks.
Next 72 hours was lots of pain and sleeping. One lung 60% collapsed and other at about 30% collapsed. They had mobile x-ray that they came in every 12 hours to scan condition of lungs. It was painful and I couldn't hold breath for 8 seconds so they had to do multiple times. Got so bad I started having panic attacks when they come into room so they started sedating me before hand.
Today I will finish this coffee and go mow grass. Don't have as much stamina as once before but good enough to keep going. You all have a great day!
