If this is global warming I'll take it

We have had the most "thin" winter I can remember since I was a kid.  It has been in the 30s and 40s in Feb and the 50's and 60's in march. Today it is 73 at 3:00pm CDT.  I have lived here all my life and I enjoy all of the seasons.  Love winter sports so I was a little bummed we had a mild winter, but I will take this tropical(it's realitive) weather once and a while.

Everything was going well...

Well believe it or not it's been three months since I had a kidney stone.  I had to alter my diet and take some medication and poof 15 years of kidney stone hell resolved.  The bad news ismy Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer a few months ago and it's in his lymph nodes.  He has two inoperable tumors.  He has had one round of chemo and that has kept the tumors from growing but they haven't shrank any either.  Radiation is not an option and he doesn't qualify DNA wise for any of the new lung cancer med trials.  The funny thing is he quit smoking over 30 years ago and it comes

BBC3 pre-order perks

Does antyone know which "perks" your gonna get for pre-ordering BBC3 from Gamestop.  I notice over the past month that they seem to be offering different things at different times.  I looked at Gamestop's details and I think they are "adding" things in for everybody as they go.  But I'm not sure that's the case.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Kidney Stone - part 2

So I got a second stone over the weekend so I went to see a kidneystone specialist on Monday.  I was suprised to find out drinking too much water can be a problem.  I have always tried to "flood" the stones out with water.  Bad idea, only drink when thirsty.  Tip number 2 was the use of Dramamine to settle down the nausea and help with sleep.  Once I pass the  stone this Dr. is gonna help  me focus on prevention.  Please cross your fingers and wish me luck.

I'm just not enjoying kidney stones anymore

I have been plagued with kidney stones for over 15 years now. In the beginning I only had an "attack" every 18-24 months. In July of 2009 I had a gastric bypass. Since then I average a kidney stone every 3 to 4 months. Tonight was my latest journey to the ER in an attempt to gain relief from extreme pain. I see a urologist regularly and am trying to provide him with a 24 hour urine collection. Problem is you can't have any blood in your urine for two weeks before the test and with stones and the residual fragments I can’t go two weeks without blood in my pee.

Review - Call of Juarez The Cartel

Call of Juarez - The Cartel

My first instinct was to not buy this game.  But it seemed to get bad press so I thought hey this might be OK.  I should have known something was up due to the lack of videos and screenshots being offered for public consumption prior to release.
