Yo StyM!
Thank you for your good work. I really appreciate your help in the name of all the users here.
Are the avatar pictures irretrievably gone?

P.S. Sorry for my stink foot posting. Is wasn't meant being respect less about a serious disease anybody else has or had. I was just a little p.o. about the long-time-nothing-happens. Can ya relay to that?

[StyM]

Fugger fixed the issues...

Notta biggy dude, at least I'm not directly on my way to getting supper to eat, like the other night, my roomate/buddy start going on about his hole in his mouth, it's something I don't wanna hear lol, (you don't brush or rinse, ever, please stop talking about it...), :|.

Sounds more or less like athlete's foot.
There's spray for that, there's also supposed remedies like apple cider or old school mouth wash (mine has thymol, eucalyptol, menthol, and alcohol and other misc ingredients, it's a dollar store brand).
You're supposed to soak your feet in a solution.
I assume it's a ph thing, or it's plain anti this or that in the solution (obviously alcohol is one thing that would kill fungus or bacteria..).
In that sense even a bottle of wiskey would probably work, or help., maybe...
If it was a big prob, you should look it up ^^.

If I remember right, menthol was one that killed candita/dandruff on the scalp, saw it in some youtube vid lol.

Besides, it happens I guess, though I don't think I would wear my boots for 2 years without taking them off every day lol.
I once went without a shower or bath for 2+ months because I was in the middle of changing to an elec water heater.
The dude that was installing it just never showed back up, so I eventually just did it on my own, that was fun btw, racing to the opposite side of my house and getting into the crawl space to shut off the main.
Those auto sealing joints are messed, they work, but I swear someday the pressure will hit one of them just right and pop it off.
I honestly think it would of been better off with pipe sealant and tape...
I still have 2 rashes from it, one is 99% gone, the other 75%.
Going on 3 years now I think.
My advice in that situation, if know someone is taking there sweet time, just doit yourself...

Years ago, when still in high school, I got miliaria and had that for about a year.
Got it from putting my back against the wall and letting the heat form the heater duct rise up my back, it was a habit of mine since I was little, I would sit on stoves and so on.
I like heat...
Melted my coat once lol...
Anyways, I did it a few times a day, since forever..., during winter times usually.
One day I noticed my back feels a little messed up, I look in the mirror and my entier back was covered in mostly reddish spider webs, it kinda looked like spider webs.
I never thought it was gonna go away but eventually it just did.

Fugger fixed the issues...

Ups...
Thank ya Charles for repairing the forum

@NEOAethyr,
ya sound like a real black dude. So ya take on ya shades an' jump into ya wheels to slide down the road?

[NEOAethyr]

Lol, nah I'm white ja .
Heheha, thanks for the cheer up yo .

I just got done doing a trash and storage run for my grandma, went to get lunch for me and my buddy and sat at the freaking bking drive through for 5 mins, never took my order, when I decide to give up and goto the window I had my buddy jump up and down saying something goofy while I yelled at them calling them lazy ..., (insert expletive here).
I always feel bad afterwards when complaining about fast food, but I think they deserve it.
Man I can still the lady's look in my mind, jeez..., lmao
:O ...

I wanted to apologies and give you an explanation for failures in 2016.

The middle of last year I had 100% Kidney failure and spent two months in the hospital and it took me a while to get back to work. My kidneys shut down and I went into congestive heart failure, my body dumped all proteins and urine into my legs, feet, butt and lower back (edema). I had started developing fluid pockets near my heart in just a few days of failure.

My problem was caused by sinus medications, Claratin, Zyrtec, and sinus sprays. These meds cause the blood vessels and capillaries to constrict thus stopping drainage. It was prolonged use of these meds entering my kidneys that caused the shut down.

After biopsies I was diagnosed with FSGS, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The blood vessels in my kidneys were damaged but recovery was possible.

Today, my kidneys are fully functional and I have to be careful what meds I take and a low sodium diet.

During this time I did my best to fix issues but I could not go to backups as weeks were slipping by.

For 2017 I will dedicate more time into XS, I asked Stym to start some contests for the teams.

New ads are going up, revenue is coming in, new sponsor have confirmed, full throttle with Intel, repairing damage with AMD, monthly contests, and I hope more.

I will show you action and far less of what I want to do.

Woah... haven't visited XS in ages (been out of OC'ing/hardware scene for ages) and come back to this bad news and news of Dave/Movieman passing away

Hope you recover Charles - my aunt passed away from Kidney failure last year brought on by chronic diabetes. Didn't know anti-sinus and antihistamine meds could cause kidney failure too ! My mum and I use antihistamines too for Hay fever ! Scary !

[swiftex]

Frig, looks like we're all heading for the crapper. Doc's gave me a cancer scare and biopsy today was put off until March 9, girl messed up the appointment. Finding it hard to dump the cancer sticks.

Anyways, chins up everyone and all should be fine!

[swiftex]

StyM, thanks for all your help brother! You gave me posts to read which I appreciate, Thanks!

[alpha0ne]

Wow looks like you had a really bad '16 fugger, I'm so glad you recovered and I hope you have many more healthy years in front of you

[Ket]

I will drink a Guinness to your good health

[thegoatman]

Old member popping back in to say I'm glad you've recovwred. Praying for you man. This has been a singular reliable community to turn back to every so often over the last decade for me, and I'm glad it's still here.

It wouldn't be the same without you man. Take care.

[techjesse]

WoW Fugger, I'm glad your better, that's a tuff thing to go through. I too am having tuff times, VA say I have advanced parkinson's and some other problems. While in service I got hurt and led to it, hopefully I can still pour Ln2 when I get better. techjesse

[sauria]

I hope that things are better?

[Charles Wirth]

I am much better now, my weight has returned to 175Lbs and I can eat normally again.

Thanks everyone, I do my best to keep the lights on.

Damn Jesse

Charles

[sauria]

Great.

[NEOAethyr]

Good deal FUGGER .
Could you give a heads up of what kind of diet you used or whatever?
I'm curious.

I can't get past 130 pounds, I'm lucky to get that far.
I noticed the other day i was losing more weight... (I notice it in my hands, I don't have a scale)


techjesse
I hope you get better dude


As for me...
I was in a coma in 2011, had a bump on the left side of my nose ever since.
I finally got rid of it last month, it was a combo of diff home remedies, not sure what did it.
If I picked it off, it would bleed like crazy and come back.
This time I noticed it was a bit smaller, I haven't messed with it in a few years.
I picked it off, didn't come back this time or anything.
It's back to normal lol .

I'm still experimenting with diff oils and ingredients to shower with, I'm interested in making custom soaps, been so ever since I've learned a bit about aleppo soap and diff fountain of youths are the world.
There's a story of Napoleon and some queen, that would not lay with him until he bathed in rosemary.
I don't know if it was Josephine, or Queen Elizabeth of Hungary...
I was trying to find the quote for you guys, but this one will do I suppose.

Perhaps one of the more amusing tales of rosemary's magic involves Queen Elizabeth of Hungary (1305-1381).  
Suffering from severe rheumatism and gout the Queen (aged 72) turned to the healing powers of the rosemary
plant.  She began using a variant of Rosemary Water, also referred to as Hungary (Budapest) Water, allegedly
given to her by a hermit who claimed that "it would preserve her beauty and health until her death."  In fact,
legend claims, the treatment so enhanced her health, vitality and appearance that she, using her own words, "was
not only cured, but recovered my strength, and appeared to all so remarkably beautiful that the King of Poland
asked me in marriage." (from a text by John Prevost, published 1656).  By the way, the King was 26 years old.  
Take from this what you may.

Stuff like this fascinates me.
As I get older I find myself wanting to learn more and more diff oddball things.
And medicine is something I never thought I'de get into.
Because why doit yourself right?
Well, the docs aren't that great these days.
It's not the healthcare so much that is the prob, it's the doc's themselves.
Even if you find a good doc, it can take a dozen visits for them to figure out anything at all.
Take my heart for example, it's missing a valve.
It took them like 5 years for them to figure that out.
So I'm trying to figure diff odd things out myself, from hair to skin care, to bug repellents, and how they all work.

Home remedies can work if you know how they work, going in blind is like overclocking without knowing why the limits are there.
It's a shot in the dark.
If you have no idea what you're doing, it can make things worse, again liek overclocking, sometimes you just need to clear the cmos and start over eh .
