USMB Coffee Shop IV

[007]

Just hauled all of my tax stuff down to the accountant's office. It's that time of the year again. Did I mention that I hate tax time? My accountant was in a jolly mood. He always is. Says he will give me the verdict one day next week.

I kinda like tax time. I usually have H&R Block do mine and they're filed usually the first day they can be. Thing is as a 100% service connected disabled veteran, I get all my property taxes back, and surprisingly they went down $330, thanks to Gov. Walker. Gotta love that. They were still $862 on 1.3 acres and two permanent structures.

Hey 007. You haven't been here in awhile. Glad you popped in.

Now I'm wondering where the term 'popped in' came from.

Yeah, for some reason I just decided to completely quit drinking after new years. Didn't make a big deal of it, just quit, and my life just got busy. Life is good and I'm having a blast. Even did some more work on the hotrod truck. I was going to just take the trim off the front bumper, but then that turned into blacking it out, and that turned into welding 18 assorted holes shut and smoothing it, and that turned into it needed the grill painted, a new GMC emblem, new OEM GM headlights, new OEM GM side marker lights, and of course new LED parking lights... OF COURSE... I like it, but, it's still not done... it's never DONE. It's a work in progress. Sent in the money to put the collector plates on it today... it's 20 years old this year...

Awesome toy!! Aghhhhrr, I need something similar...

But where I could use it? :-\

Yeah I've had this truck for 12 years now. Bought it in Reno. It's never seen a salty road, has zero rust and has always been garaged. I keep putting a little money in it each year with an upgrade here and there. Have done lots already but still have lots I want to do, Delphi fuel injection upgrade, headers, new exhaust, new arched rear springs, electric fan conversion, could use a new radio with blue tooth and a digital tuner, and the list goes on... it's fun... and it's a blast to drive. Thankfully here in Podunk, WI there's plenty of places to have fun with it.

I have back issues and have taken Vicodin but never Oxycodone. What is your issue? Surgery? Just pain?

I hate how strict they've gotten with the pain meds, not fair to the people that need them for pain and not to get high....well, I don't get high...don't know your story.

There is a lot of abuse, especially of Oxicodon, Down here, they call it redneck heroin. There was a guy in town that ground up pills and sold lines like cocaine.
I hate opiates, hate the way they make me feel, but I will use them when I have to,and won't when I don't.
I understand why they are so stringently controlled, but it does make it difficult, especially for someone who can't just hop in his truck and fill a prescription.
There are no refills, and doctors can't even call in a scrip. Any time I need to get an opiate, I either have to be seen by the doctor, or have a nurse request medication. The prescription has to be picked up at the doctor's office by me or someone I authorize and carried to the pharmacy.
Thankfully, I have people who will go the extra mile for me.

I've been getting oxycodone from the VA for probably 15 years now, and you're right there is no refill. I have to call in each and every time to my primary care giver and speak to someone to get a refill, but they send it to me.

I tell ya, that 007 has all the toys. He's my hero!

Hey pard, have you been getting the good out of that RV you bought?

I need to get Opera. Been a long time since i used it. I have been using Chrome and FF. FF is sucking big time. Thinking of dumping it.

My primary is still FF, Chrome for video/movie streaming, all those porn sit........ oh wait I wasn't supposed to tell ya that!!!!!! Opera I use for more sensitive security applications.

I downloaded. Am trying to learn it again. It has changed so much. I wish I could get my Bookmarks over from other browsers.

I have been using Chrome and like it because Adblocker works so efficiently with it and it does find photos and stuff faster than some other browsers. I don't really care what I use if it works though.

I like Chrome a lot better than FF now days..

 

[Gracie]

Hey foxy....been browsing Pinterest and found this. Perfect for ya?

 

[CeeCee]

Good morning everyone! I think I'll go to my favorite store today...Trader Joe's.

Hi Gracie...I love Pinterest.

To all the pain sufferers, since I'm such a good girl and don't abuse my pain meds my dr writes out 3 prescriptions for me...post dated.

Welcome to the Coffee Shop CEECEE. So happy you've joined us. We hope you are enjoying USMB but it can get pretty rough out there. The Coffee Shop is a great refuge to just kick back and enjoy people. Be sure to read over the OP to see what we are all about and just keep joining right in. And nobody is expected to read back in the Coffee Shop. You just join in where you come in.

First timers to the Coffee Shop receive a complimentary beverage:

Can I have some too? I'm thirsty

Absolutely! I was just thinking I could really enjoy that right now.

I added a bit of coffee to my tea a couple of days ago.....and my belly showed its displeasure. Apparently I just need to never drink coffee.

Maybe decaf coffee could be better for you

Sadly, no. Decaf does bad things to my belly, too.

Oh sorry!
What about tea? Maybe tea could be a good substitute

I am so lucky pain is not a factor for me yet. Landscaping is always painful at the beginning if the season for a month or two and as the season progresses there are a fair number of minor injuries that heal over the off season. People always think I am happy when I can start, but it just means pain month is here.

How many miles per year you usually make on it? And how much gas it eating?

P.S. You should upgrade it by some big speakers, to perform dance parties at wild places, you could visit
