Somewhere in the OP you mentioned NSAID’s which are what I get prescribed - the one I have is called diclofenac and it’s stronger than ibuprofen but there are even stronger ones too.

Oh, no no no no! I was prescribed two NSAIDs back in Oct of 21, and only took them for two weeks. The issues I got from them haven't stopped since. High blood pressure, difficulty breathing (They've at least added almost the same amount if not more issues as my smoking had up to that time. Constantly coughing up sugary, salty phlegm), and about a year ago an off-and-on pain just below my front ribs (All across), oh, and dizziness...really really really bad dizziness...Used to be worse than my pains, but I think that's changing.

Oh, and a doctor prescribed omeprozole to help with the stomach and lungs in February of 22, and I gained almost 20 pounds in one month...I have only gained that much weight that fast once in my lifetime, and that's when I attempted to quit smoking in 99 or 98. Only recently have I finally gone under 200 lbs, but I'm still 5 away from my heaviest, and 10 from my weight before I took the omeprozole.

Which is one thing I'm seriously worried about, the first two years my lungs would clear up once in a while, and I could breathe normally, but about mid to late 2023 they have not gone back to being that good at all. No matter how I feel. I really need to get screened, but of course, I finally get the nerve to stand up for myself and setup a doctors appointment, now I have to find a whole new way to live, yeesh!

Don't know. Every time I tried saving money for the mri, I'd get snapped at about not helping out, to which I'd cave and blow what I'd save. But I know what caused most of them, Furniture Delivery. Tore a muscle or tendon in my left arm, meniscus tear in my left knee. At least two or three parts of my back are from that, too. The worst spot in my upper spine is the only odd one out. Probably caused from carrying backpacks of books from my youth.

This morning almost my whole back feels like it's on fire, and my upper spine hurts like hell. Oof, and I think my knee and arm hurt a bit, but are drowned out by my back.

Ooh! Hmm! I'll have to look into them.

And wouldn't you know it, indeed now makes you enter in a phone number. I may not have this phone for long as it's not under my name, 😶

I don't know anyone, and all my family that I could live with would be about as bad as my wife has been to me. I do have that job lined up and a possible place to stay, which it turns out I may be able to do part time and afford the place, so I can attempt to get a remote job during it (as long as my pains don't get too uncontrollable. Else, I'll become a mindless zombie, 😶 and blow all my money on expensive food as I won't be able to control my finances. The pains are really that extreme).

I'd like to, but I need a home first, and if I stayed here, I wouldn't have the mental capacity to be able to perform a remote job, 😬 . So first things first, need money to pay for a place to stay. Then I can attempt that.

I have started getting pissed at people who snap at someone "Don't necro this post" (Or any of the numerous other things they say), on information that is well outdated that could fucking seriously use an updated answer.

End rant...I'd prefer not, though...I want to keep this rant going.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

That's fine, am a Linux user and not a big deal running a file/media server, also have large enough SD cards, so still not a problem storing music either. I would just like to be able to purchase some new songs just so I can be able to adjust the playlists to something more to my tastes for particular songs over the entire genre or band's albums which can often contain other bands/songs that just bug the living daylights out of me, heh.

Well, if "media" is in general, I'd have to say television. I'll watch some things once in a while, but for the most part, I have way too much anxiety from a bad marriage. Audio books, and certain Youtube channels can trigger it, too.

Loving your methodical approach too!

Speaking of, I am spending way too much time on this, heh! I've got two hats and a pumpkin bag to knit, and a small painting to do ( Maybe more like these ). I'll just stick to a cloth of some kind, and let her touch it up how she wants. 🤣 .

Welp! It browned in several spots over night. Maybe because of the dirt? Or the heat gun? Or???

Next tests, I'll need to try a two layer method. (one with a lower layer of baking soda, and another with a toilet paper bottom. That should help to deduce if the dirt was the cause of it).

First issue I found, I needed to add a little water to the mixture so it would keep from pulling up the dirt as I tried to spread it on. Made it so I could just pour it over. Wtich means two things, I'll see how moisture reacts to it, and have to wait maybe two days for it to dry...which, if so, might make it really difficult in that I'll have to fill the unit with dirt before we move it (and it is quite heavy without the added dirt).

Update:

Well, I'll be damned. I used a heat gun and it dried up within seconds...Everything is back on schedule again, 😃

Although it's a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn't the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?

Edit: I just thought about it, and what I'll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink's handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it'd work outside.

I used to drink root beer out of the licorice red vines, those held up quite well. Though, the lart was around seven years ago. I haven't seen blaok red vines in ages around these parts.

Have no idea if the red ones would have held up. Never liked those too much, heh, and other than root beer, birch beer, I'd drink coffee instead.
