    Joint replacement and metal sensitivity

    My surgeon uses a titanium femoral stem and says it’s the most hypoallergenic material available but may still have trace amounts of nickel. I’m interested in hearing from anyone with titanium parts AND an established nickel sensitivity. How are you doing?

    Microsoft updates

    Seem to have crashed a bunch of coworker’s machines today. Now my laptop wants to update and I’m scared to let it. Are any of you having issues with Windows 10 updates today?

    Sending device off to be repaired

    My iPad is acting squirrelly and I might have to send it off to be fixed. But I’m paranoid about privacy. Do I need to delete all my saved passwords and login info? Do I need to give them the password to unlock it in the first place? I think they can replace the battery without having to unlock...

    Alternator drive coupling out of tolerance

    I am so demented I can’t remember anything. I cannot find the thread where a small plane (can’t remember what kind other than single engine) crashed somewhere in the northeast (can’t remember what city) killing the pilot whose middle name was Richard (can’t remember his first or last name) his...

    Niacin flush

    My doctor told me to start taking 500mg of niacin a day to improve my cholesterol. Wow! Instant sunburn! I wish I'd known about this stuff when I was a kid. I could have faked scarlet fever and stayed home from school.

    Watchmen, the graphic novel

    My daughter gave this to me a few years ago and I never got a round tuit. The other night on "Young Sheldon" his mom confiscated this book because it had illustrations of male nudity. So I thought that was a sign from God whoops I mean, um, Mother Nature? Is that allowed? Anyway, that I should...

    tick bite causes meat allergy

    My father in law was just diagnosed with this. I'd never heard of it! He can't eat red meat anymore at all since he was bitten by a tick. I was wondering if anyone here has had this. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/news/20180806/as-tick-bites-rise-so-do-meat-allergies

    "The current estimated wait time is..."

    Rant: At 11:07 the wait time is 38 minutes. Five minutes later it was 39 minutes. Then it was 38 again, then 39, and now, at 11:28 it is 38 minutes. My call is important to them and will be answered in the order in which it was received. Normally I don't put up with this. I hang up. But today...

    My 91 year old mom has been told she needs a molar extracted. It's got a crown and bridge covering the next missing tooth so when they remove it, she will have two molars missing. They told her that after she heals she can decide if she can live with the big "hole" on that side of her mouth...

    Firefox crashes Windows

    This is really a followup from my "how long do I wait" thread but I've isolated a problem so will start anew. Turns out the Windows updates that were failing to install, finally installed properly after I uninstalled Firefox. (My tech support guy gave up and told me to call Microsoft. Well...

    %#!&$! internet problem

    [rant on] At this point there's nothing to do but sell the house and move back to civilization. Godforsaken traffic filled cities. Is that what I have to do to get reliable internet? Round ten with these people. Every few weeks we get this intermittent disconnect all day long for days and weeks...
