How awesome...my urologist has gotten over $30k from the pharmaceutical industry, and it looks like there’s only one other doctor in the entire county that’s raked in more. Almost a third of that of is from Myrbetriq, the drug that is easily one of the worst ones I’ve ever tried in my life.

A little something I’ve learned—sometimes the problem is related to excess histamines. This is why antihistamines like Atarax are often prescribed for anxiety. Just something to look into if you have this issue.

Mmmmm, what John Muir did was “just hiking.” The rest of us would have to sell our cars to do it your way.

Awesome photos, tho.

This look hella expensive to do. :(

Also...on the days you weren’t head for a pack station, did you really just live on beef jerky, Cheetos, and Gu?? Without fainting?

Right. Really depends who you follow. I follow almost all landscape photographers so it’s nice and peaceful.

As a certified computer tech I can tell you another hidden possibility for major slowdowns: rootkits. They are hard to detect with antivirus sometimes, and I’ve seen some of them really turn systems into a slug. (Another big tip-off: Windows Updates no longer work). After you check all the above I would try…

And once again...no California King size...

Guess I’m the lone night shower person. I can’t stand the idea of going to bed gross. The hot water relaxes me for bed, and the bed stays cleaner a lot longer when I’m not going to bed with the day’s grime (read: less sheet washing work). As a bonus I rarely have to wait to shower when I’m traveling and the bathrooms…

Yeah...and as a computer tech, I’m making sure this gets installed on every computer I touch. I consider it my patriotic duty.

It would be GREAT if there was a way to make the extension go “stealth mode” so it wouldn’t be so easily defeated if Uncle Earl asked your nephew to get rid of it. Hint hint.

I think this may be illuminating, for those of you mentioning her penchant for drama: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/28/mag…

I lost my DSLR hundreds of miles from home, and I just couldn’t believe my homeowners insurance would cover something like that. My sister hounded me until I finally filed a claim. Lo and behold, they paid up—I couldn’t believe it.

Yeah. My bag: notebooks, walkman, chapstick. That’s it. That kid is carrying around a pretty big insurance claim.

I’m from the OC and been in lots of these; the key is not to panic. Surfers like them because it gives them an easy ride out sometimes.

Eh, stop counting calories and Google Dr. David Ludwig.

These are good suggestions...however, the article I would like to see is how to do all of this when you’re sick with a chronic disease that makes taking on half a dozen side-jobs impossible. I have just enough energy to take care of the kids and deal with the one job I do have...and sometimes not even that.

Cannot recommend this enough if your camera and lenses are on the heavy side: Clik Elite CE503BK Impulse Sling - https://www.amazon.com/Clik-Elite-CE5…

Just the right balance of accessibility and protection, and doesn’t kill your back or shoulders AT ALL. Also: lots of pockets.

Anything more than a single and not-too-heavy camera and it KILLS your shoulder, though. I sold mine off.

I mostly swim in hot springs. I am done with chlorine and cold pools. (Yes, there’s the risk of that amoeba that can go up your nose into your brain. Worth it? YES).

That’s awesome, and it sounds a lot like the Always Hungry diet (what I’ve been on since January). It’s not speedy but it works and you don’t get cravings or feel starved. There’s no calorie-counting or calorie restriction, either. But you have to lay off the sugar and carbs.
