The List for the 2018-19 Season: Episode 1

Which is weird, because it literally did nothing for me. I said multiple times I don’t know how or why people get addicted to it because it did nothing for me with regards to pain management. Why is it that it works for some people but not for others? It made me feel like crap and i got nauseous. Of course, it was a mild dosage. Maybe if it was a larger one?

Most pain meds don’t work on me either. Doc said I’m likely missing enzymes required to process

Morphine is proof that God loves us.

I have some fentanyl patches sitting my cabinet I should throw away if you are interested.

Note to DEA agent monitoring this board: KIDDING!

I had vicodin after I had my wisdom teeth out. Room spun for four hours and never took it again.

You know you need food with that, right?

Even as a connoisseur of these delightful drugs, the experience I had with vicodin on an empty stomach was extremely sub-optimal, as in sick for hours.

I ca'nt remember what I had to eat, but I'm pretty sure it was KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. Might have even had a biscuit crumbled in there. Mmmm........

The elderly don't do well with benzos, especially if they're inpatient. Studies show they are much more likely to develop ICU Delirium and other mental health problems if medicated with benzodiazepines for behavior control (ventilated or non-ventilated).

Personally, I think cocaine or MDMA would be my drug of choice if we're running the gamut of mind altering substances. My Type A personality is attracted to the idea of cocaine, however, the part of me that loves cuddles and an enchanced sense of touch as well as love-y feelings is totally intrigued by molly. Obviously, as someone who has seen the negative effects in the healthcare system, I will not be tampering with any of these.


My lone experiences with opioids was in high school when I was prescribed 5/325 percoset for wisdom tooth surgery. All I did was sleep. Meh. Uninterested.
I didn't really respond to Percs. Dulled the pain a bit but def no euphoric feeling.

Morphine is proof that God loves us.
Morphine - proof that I could sleep the minute they pushed the little self med button. They had the PCA pump after my surgery. I never pushed the button but the helpful nurses thought I didn't know where it was and pushed it for me (or they liked me non-demanding- the result was the same). If I was high I wasn't awake enough to know it. I also didn't clear the anesthesia for days after that surgery. I had a crash c-section for lilnsl- he was in distress. They gassed me. As they were prepping I told them not to give me too much or I wouldn't wake up. They thought I meant I was going to die. I meant I wouldn't wake up. The anesthesiologist was impressed with my inability to clear the stuff. :(
Got prescribed Valium for my back when I first blew it out. I saw spiders on the walls and ceiling out of the corner of my eye. Paranoid and very unpleasant.
I take the fifth on recreational activities except to say that I saw one of my friends have an extremely bad, paranoid reaction to some stuff that lasted for days. SCARY.

My shower bench giving way this morning, sending me to the bathroom floor: Scary List. Thankfully I am unharmed.

So glad the oxy is done. Less nausea, less tiredness, less feeling like I got run over by a semi.

I'll bet your dentist enjoyed digging through that.
 
Re: The List for the 2018-19 Season: Episode 1

I had the gamut of painkillers for a condition years ago, from Oxy to fentanyl. There were times when I really needed the help. I also flushed some down when I felt I didn't need it. But on one occasion when I was at the most difficult stage of my treatment, I had to pass a kidney stone. I was actually at the hospital receiving treatment when it came on, and they just wheeled me over to ER. I looked awful anyway, and when they got up to speed on my status and confirmed that it was a stone, they shot me up with something like I'd never had before. Unlike the other stuff I was taking, it was an instant rush. In seconds I went from feeling bottom-of-the-barrel shyty to A-O-f cking K. Euphoric. That gave me a little insight into how difficult it must be to beat a hard narcotics addiction. I don't have an addictive personality, but never ever give me a prescription for that stuff. I don't think I could resist it.

Probably Dilaudid. Either that, or just the fact they shot you up instead of having you pop a pill and waiting for it to metabolize.

I'd like to drop some LSD at some point in my life, in the presence of a good babysitter, of course. It'd be interesting, to say the least. Knowing people who have done it (and knew me really well) they swear I'd be very entertaining, due to my creative nature. In other words, not a bad trip.

Edit: imagine me in a wheelchair in a nursing home, just trippin' balls. :D
 
Re: The List for the 2018-19 Season: Episode 1

Bought a new (used) house. 19 yrs old.
1. soap dispenser on dishwasher broke. bought replacement. weekend install
2. icemaker died. bought replacement. weekend install.
3. dryer vent clogged worse than the LIE. Cleaned.
4. dryer makes wonderful intermittent squealing sound when running. either belt (cheap) or drum bearings (new dryer). weekend investigation.
5. a downspot discharges into flowerbed. recent deluges had large lake in flower bed. redirected water discharge to driveway. $30 fix. HOA will probably make me bury discharge line. Couple of hours work + a popup head for discharge next to driveway.
6. vinnie boon bots, the home inspector from the Stevie Wonder home inspection company missed a huge gap under basement door frame and a rotting sill plate. gap can be fixed with a couple of tubes of goo from home depot. sill may need a carpenter.
7. Carpet held down in spots with staples. Staples come loose. Foot finds. OUCH! Pull staple.
8. kitchen Light fixture looked like huge inverted brandy snifter. banged into it on day 1 of move in and it shattered. nobody hurt. replaced fixture with one wife found at thrift store for $5. Wiring bad. replaced wiring and fixture works. $10 fix at home depot.
9. Master showerhead can be more forceful with water flow. it's ok, but a 100% replacement head costs $90 at home depot. it can wait.

love the new house, but the aggrevating problems - AARGH!. old house on market. we took care of problems so buyers (whomever they are) will have a easy transition.

Still unpacking 2 weeks later. moved 34 years of accumulated stuff. will need to cut back (wanted to do so before move, but overruled by spouse. spouse now realizes we have too much thit and it has to go).

Oh - and parts to reassemble one of the beds disappeared in move. another trip to HD or Amazon.

Dr. Mrs. strictly enforced the three piles rule on me. Yet another reason she rocks -- I'd have just kept moving all of my hoard until I died.

May I diplomatically remind you that your realtor hired Vinnie Boon Bots and you hired your realtor, so...

I made something like 10 trips to HD but that was to sell my old house. Buying a house is a breeze. Selling a house is A Month at Torquemada's.

I’ve been super lucky in this regard. I’m 34 and I have only had to really move once. I obviously moved a number of times in college but those don’t count. And our family moved when I was 10, so also doesn’t count.

The only time I moved was when I bought my first house. I lived at home for the first few years after college so I could afford a full is a payment. I was able to move my entire life in the trunk, backseat, and passenger seat of my Mustang plus one load in a Durango for my bed and tv. That was it. So I’m not even sure that counts.

Now after about 60% through the process of moving my girlfriend in, I might be willing to outsource the packing and cleaning when we eventually move again. Holy hell.

Regarding moving into a house and finding things wrong with it, just remember: Everyone is an idiot. You did things wrong too. The people who move into your house will use your name as a pejorative.
 
Re: The List for the 2018-19 Season: Episode 1

I just put in an offer on a new house. The prior owners might have been the perfect caretakers if not for their paint choices.

The process of finding the right house is on The List.
 
Re: The List for the 2018-19 Season: Episode 1

When we bought our first house the house inspector 'missed' an enormous bat colony in our attic. The first night we moved in I was there alone* and at Oh dark thirty a bat started flying around my bedroom. What a fiasco. You can't kill bats, against the rules. I take the 5th at what they did. I called the inspection place and lit them up. They paid for the fix and refunded the $ we paid for inspection


* (mr les professed that if we moved in together, even tho my parents didn't speak to each other, dad les had the guns and mum les would buy the bullets- and he was right. life was different then)
