And thanks for the kind words about the sciatica. Gotta go find me an orthopedist soon and hopefully get on with some physical therapy.

Mred I watched that video you recommended and did the exercises - no joke I literally believe it made it worse lol. The pain in my leg is much more intense since I did that on Thursday. I had a friend send me some more exercises she did to get over her sciatica, so we'll see. But I'm still gonna go see an ortho to see what they say. I'm not opposed to physical therapy just because I did 6 weeks for my fractured wrist earlier this year and it's back to normal now.

Did you ever check out a Chiropractor?

I was getting these severe pains in my shoulders, wrists, basically every joint. It would wake me up all night. I started working out at home with this online gym and some dumbbells and the pain went away almost instantly. It can really do wonders for you for sure.

I priced out mattresses a while ago and you can basically get a nice used car for the price of a tempur-pedic. I have no doubt they are nice but $5k for a king? Get the F outta here.

To me there are two things you don't skimp on in life your mattress and your shoes. You spend to much time in both and bargain basement shoes and mattresses will jack you up long term. Every thing else I buy I will bargain hunt.

yes a mattress is definitely worth spending some money on, but there's some middle ground between bargains and $5k. At a certain point you're just paying for the name and marketing.

In some case's yes but all I will say is that it is a necessity for my wife .As I said before we actually got a prescription for the Bed from her surgeon and it was discounted about $500 but we were allowed to write off a portion .(not all).

Memes or internet postings about how waiters/servers are only paid $2.33 an hour.

They dont make $2.33 an hour. They get paid $2.33 an hour by the restaurant/bar then they get tipped on top of that. Unless you work at a real slow crappy place, id guess servers make well over $15 an hour. If a servers tips plus the $2.33 dont = min wage, the restaurant has to make up the difference.

My ex on good nights would come home with $300-400 cash for 6 hours of work .. that wouldnt be taxed. Other nights not so much but it all evened out to a really good paying job that requires no college education.

Served do not want a fixed "living wage" pay .. they want to be able to land those big tips.

I got a Nectar mattress for like $900 and love it.

Agree…the whining about servers is absolutely bullshit. I’m sure they are reporting all their tips to be taxed properly too.


Grinding gear…people who tip poorly especially for unjust bullshit. 20% always from me on total food bill. Dollar on each drink poured at the bar or 20% on total. I tip delivery drivers for furniture and appliances. 10 for haircuts. Leave money in rooms for housekeeping when traveling

How about neighbors who cut their grass once a month. That’s awesome how you don’t give a fuck. Also they have had the nerve to complain about mosquitoes and ticks. These are not old but lower 30s year old…lazy af

I want to do doughnuts in their yard after a couple inches of rain. Just turn it into a mud with the truck

What grinds my gears? Pennsylvania. Rather Pennsylvania engineers. We were in York for a softball tournament last weekend on Saturday it rained. Coming back down I-83 there was a traffic jam because there was a foot of standing water on the road. This is an area with drainage and hills not a coastal area. Then the next day the games were at a different park and there are street signs on the road saying road floods when it rains. It is amazing people can get paid to not do their job correctly. I will gladly take an engineers salary to write reports saying put up signs as the solution.

Bee stings.

When you work in an office with 2 attorneys. And you've known them for a long time. And they both quit within 2 weeks of each other.

Yay 2 new bosses basically simultaneously that I don't know.

I'm happy for them. But damn, this is a huge change for everyone else in the office.

2 things:

1. A grown ass man with a little man-bun type thing buying a 12 pack of Truly's.

2. Sean Penn
