I thought I was alone with these overpopulation ideas.... We are a dying species but we act like we don't know it....

Thought I do it real professional this time and thread the holes in the aluminum...
Had an appointment with my doctor today. That went well, she wants me to cut down my meds and try yoga for my pain instead.
Now this might just be MY opinion... But I think that people who come up with that kind of bullsh!t ought to get hit with a dump truck full of cinder blocks - and then have someone tell them they ought to use some kind of <fill in the blank, as long as it includes ZERO medication in any form> to "magic" the pain away. They'd probably stop such things, afterwards.
I don't believe I ever saw anyone ever try to run a thread tap in a drill before, lol. Now I know why.

I've done it hundreds of thousands of times. Did it in automation. Didn't have time to had tap all the holes we needed to tap. There are some tricks to it though. You must debur the hole with a countersink, and you MUST use some kind of high quality tapping fluid (Tapmagic). Not recommended in steel, and a gun tap (pushes cuttings forward) is a must.
And yes, we did break taps....it does happen.
Now, now, Mr. TS, yoga isn’t going to Magic the pain away, but over time it may help people deal with pain by offering a low impact way to get in stretching, exercise, and also a bit of meditation. Chronic pain can cause a use it or lose it syndrome in regard to activity. You stop doing things because of pain, and pretty soon you “can’t” do things because of inactivity making pain worse.
Is yoga a miracle cure, no. Is it a cure, not even. But things like diet and exercise, and yes even yoga, can have a very important place in a pain management program.
I also have adjusted my expectations for what pain relief means to me. I don’t expect to not be in pain, my body is too fucked up for that to be a reasonable expectation, but I do want to be functional and have the pain at a manageable level.
What are the specs on those LED’s?
Now, now, Mr. TS
Yeah, okay, that might have been just a wee bit harsh. But think about it, lol, who would you be more likely to trust - someone who has never existed in a world of pain or a person that has literally been scooped up off the pavement and wired back together as a preface to traction, months in a body cast, etc. when you're told to try something besides medication(*) to help with YOUR pain? Me, I'd be listening to B.
(*)including cannabis.
My response might have been what it was because his post caused me to - vividly - remember the day a 78-year old ex-prison dentist (warning sign #1, LMAO) from the Florida penal system said to me, "Yeah, I don't believe in pain medication, Novocaine, or even nitrous oxide. We didn't use any of that stuff in prison, and most (warning sign #2) of the people I worked on survived just fine. Myself, I used hypnosis on my patients (<DING DING D-D-D-f*cking-DING!!!>)." And then proceeded to... make the attempt... on me, then also made the ATTEMPT to pull one of my teeth. I actually managed to hold still through the first two attempts (the second of which cracked one of my (then) halfway decent chompers), but the third time caused him to miss not having one of those handy prison dental chairs with the straps, lol.
I've got nothing against yoga. In fact, an ex-girlfriend was into it pretty heavily, said it was one of the reasons she was so talented on the... pole at work. It just... If my arm is broken in a few places, and the doctor says to me, "Hey, instead of pins, screws, and an immobilization cast, how about I set you up with a daily meal plan? It'll include ice cream." Well, I'd probably end up in one of those rooms that have a guard outside the door .
And the men in white jackets coming to get you...
Well you know that high intelligence and madness is closely related...
I do know that madness is like beauty. In the eye of the beholder, lol. "Sanity" is just a term that really means "this person behaves and thinks just like the majority of the members of his/her particular group of people." One reason I've always hated crowds - they start expecting you to be like them. And then they start acting all surprised when you wade in swinging....
