I have absolutely bought games and played them for less than 2 hours and never played them again. I'm a lot more discriminating now, but as recently as last month I bought a game because I thought I would like it. I played a couple of times but can't get into it. I would love to have a new, fun MMO to play but there are so many that look interesting and then... bleh.

The ICQ uh-oh is my text alert message. Has been for years. No one recognizes it anymore.

I use a cpap machine now. It helped tremendously but it doesn't help my body pain.

I'm always tired. I don't go to bed at a decent hour, my joints ache all the time, so I rarely sleep more than 90 minutes without waking up. I could go to sleep right now if my 8 year old wasn't making a ruckus.

I only use it to play games with 4 other people regularly and another 2-3 people sporadically. When it becomes a pain to use, well move on just like we did with AOL Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Team Speak, and however many others we've used in the past. Something else will come along. It works great for now, but we aren't loyal to it. We're loyal to playing online with each other. I would honestly pay $5 a month for a decent program, should no free one be available, but I'm already cutting out multiple streaming services, satellite radio, and all sorts of other shit because commercials are too annoying.

I've taken to using Dawn dish soap and the washcloth I use to wash dishes. It works great.

This medication isn't available on a lot of those sites. I've looked, but I haven't checked Canada yet. I'll give it a go soon.

We have tried other medication, which is how we found that this one actually worked.

On February 14 I met my max out of pocket for the year. I had an upper and lower GI taken which is the bulk of the cost. My insurance is already refusing to cover some of my diabetes medication, because some people use it to lose weight (Mounjaro). I need it to keep my A1C levels under 10. I already weigh the ideal weight for my height. Because it's so expensive and insurance doesn't cover it, I will end up going without for the rest of the year. My old insurance covered it, but my company switched insurance in January. New insurance has never equaled better insurance. I'm so tired of insurance being tied to my job.

That's why I borrowed from my 401k 8 years ago. I only have $70k in my 401k now. I didn't borrow that much, but I'm 57. I was a terrible saver.

I had never heard of RSV until my dad (80) was recently diagnosed. It's a nasty illness and highly contagious. He can barely breath, but is getting better. He carries oxygen with him now to keep his oxygen levels up.
