I haven't used that in 10 yrs!

Just finished an old PS2 game called God of War. It is a very brutal and violent game.

Got caught in the dark. Luckily, I put lights on my bike. Some of the streets are just pitch black. I guess it's time to look for HID.

Oleg, you never answered my question. Do you attend SFVSC? Good luck with your midterm!

ovoleg

no i dont, I've never heard of it either lol.

Thanks

roadfix

Where do you attend college? I assumed you went to SFVSC since you live in Northridge.

Boy...this place is a ghost town. I think I just got smacked upside the head with a tumbleweed.

Oh, and my knee is killing me. I may not be riding this weekend.

roadfix

I'm sorry to hear about your knee, Mary. You need to let it rest for a while.

DaveSANYYZ

Have you been to a doc yet?

I'm on the phone with my Primary right now. They are scheduling an xray for my knee (and for my chest as I have to go see my new pulmonary specialist for a standard checkup) this Friday (I hope or else it will be next week before I can get in). I hate HMOs - HATE THEM. Unless I go to Urgent care or the emergency room, I have to take all these steps just to get stuff checked. Sigh. By the time I get the xray, the pain will likely be gone.

GP

I hate HMOs too. The quality of service has dropped tremendously over the past 20 years. Plus I got a notice that my monthly fee is going up $200 on January 1.

merider1

That's awful, Frank. But personally I cannot afford PPO. It is so expensive, it's shocking. But HMOs suck for service. I like my Primary (I didn't for awhile, but now I do). She's pretty matter of fact, and she is just following protocol dictated by Blue Cross. She has to see me first before sending me anywhere else. Truth is, my knee is probably just fine (I don't over-react actually and I really don't feel I need to see a specialist), but the whole "get an xray first thing" drives me nuts.

roadfix

Same here. I'm hoping my Kaiser premiums aren't going up by that much......I'm already paying slightly under $700 per month just for my wife and I. If it ever did go up by that amount in a year I'm cancelling my Kaiser account and going county.

Same difference...

DaveSANYYZ

Wow, health care is so expensive. I always question some doctors' tactics of asking whether you have health care or not, then deciding on the type of treatment. Some suggests useful alternatives (heal faster?) but some are seemingly useless to me (but I'm not a doc).

I used to have a dentist once that tried to hard-sell me on teeth whitening procedures. One is to file down my existing teeth and put a mold in the front, another way is to bleach it really well, and last to completely replace it... and I only went there for annual check-up! All have bad after effects. Maybe my teeth are truly nasty so he recommends taking drastic measures?

merider1

Oh, no. I've met you. You have a nice smile and nice breath. I wouldn't let the dentist talk you into any of those procedures.
