  1. In all honesty...Who's ever had "Exploding Head" when dozing off or listening to @BringBackFergy yap away? I haven't had it in about 10 years. Never really common... But only when really, really tired & sleep deprived going days without sleep.
  2. Yes they are! https://www.atriushealth.org/specialties-and-services/eye-care/common-visual-conditions/spots-flashes-and-floaters Eye spots, flashes and floaters Eye spots and floaters are small, semi-transparent or cloudy particles that float within the vitreous (the jelly-like fluid filling the eye). They come in different shapes and sizes and can look like insects, rain drops, dark spots, cobwebs, thread-like strands, or hair. What causes spots and floaters? Spots and floaters may be flecks of protein or other matter that were trapped while the eye was forming before birth. They also can be caused when the vitreous partially liquefies. This often happens during the normal aging process. Certain eye diseases or injuries can also cause floaters. Are spots and floaters serious? Most spots and floaters are normal. Sometimes they can indicate a more serious problem. Especially if there is a sudden increase in their number or if they are accompanied by flashes. What are flashes and vitreal detachment? Flashes are streaks of light that may or may not appear with spots and floaters. They are similar to what you see when a flash goes off on a camera. Flashes last for only one or two seconds. One cause of flashes might be migraine headaches. Another cause might be the vitreous shrinking and pulling away from the retina (the part of the eye that receives visual images and sends them to the brain). Every time the vitreous pulls on the retina, you will see a flash of light. Vitreous shrinkage is normal. If it continues, it can result in part or all of the vitreous separating from the back of the eye (vitreous detachment)... Now... You know what's even freakier: https://m.activebeat.com/your-health/5-things-to-know-about-exploding-head-syndrome/ I get this when @BringBackFergy gives me *****! /smh...
  3. This needs to be bronzed with my baby shoes! LoL... @BringBackFergy will be here shortly to steal My thunder!
  4. Let me guess? You're one of the 2 idiots. WTF does this have to do with vaxxing. Holy ExiledInIllinois non-sequitur Batman! You've out did me! Okay Rain Man... I will try and follow. Wopner coming on, you got your Fruit of the Loom's on?
  5. Who are the the two idiots? Too bad not public.
  6. You've come to the right place. Eye Floaters: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eye-floaters/symptoms-causes/syc-20372346 "Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters..." "...If you notice a sudden increase in eye floaters, contact an eye specialist immediately — especially if you also see light flashes or lose your peripheral vision. These can be symptoms of an emergency that requires prompt attention..."
  7. Don't let him bully you. It's part of @BringBackFergy 's condition.?
  8. That's the way God intended. Normal. 100" is 8.3' FEET. Even the average by this time is just over 6 feet. The snow never sticks around at our latitude and low elevation above sea level... Unless they are keeping it on a ski hill, tucked under a Northern or Eastern exposure. Or, it's an exceptionally harsh winters. The winners of the "Golden Snowglobe" contest is always between: Erie, Pa; BFLo, NY; & Syracuse, NY. Erie won last year. Rigged, like the NFL! LoL.. ? I can't remember a year where it all stayed throughout the winter, 1976-'77? Even Erie's whopping 198" last season didn't all stay around. That would be bad, very, VERY BAD. Donner Party Disaster, winter of 1846-'47 wall of snow bad!!! It ain't the High Sierras. I drove BFLo 4 times last winter and didn't encounter any walls of snow. Looked kind of normal.
  9. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right... And here I am:
  10. I had a conservative friend. Had a house up in Michigan. He voted in Illinois and Michigan. Of course GOP only. Actually he's dead. Lived in Chicago.
  11. On and off. Now they are. I think the first football team between the two was in Rochester? Then thet folded first. If... My memory serves me correct.
  12. Thats just false. Look at elections in 1930s. Blue branches out from Urban areas. New York is predominantly red. Especially during the FDR years! There are mass people in urban areas. They don't vote on Pikes Peak. Like it or not... Blue is creeping. Check the maps the last one hundred years. It's core is always centered around industy. Again... It's blue here... But no buffer zone... Plenty of ties to the country roots here more so than in the Coastal Elite areas. Why Iowa can move so radically between the two... Same with Wisconsin & Michigan. Illinois , New York used to flip red, but the Chicago and NYC buoy the other way. That doesn't mean it's not a MAGA area. Chicago turns blue... But again, no buffer zone.
  13. Dr. Fredrickson will be right over! A few shocks... While chanting "Capitals" "Ovie"... Will get your fandom back over the Mason-Dixon line! Edit: Is there a Buffalo-Toronto thing going on with Rochester-Buffalo? Amerks were mostly affiliated with Sabres! Do you harbor resentment that Rochester should have had a pro-team?
  14. Give Me time. I am still trying to wrap my brain around the notion that You hail from Rochester, are a Bills fan, but a Capitals fan. There has to be some Evangelical conversion therapy for you. Ship you off to MAGA Central deep in the heart of the Basket of Deplorables??? Trust Me, you'll come back a new man swearing your allegiance to the Blue & Gold! I think you need a little Dr. Fredrickson to make you all better Shady... Be a nice Sabres fan! Dr. Fredrickson, he's a psychiatrist and He's gonna make you allllll better Shady! ?
  15. Ahhh, hmmmm... One's of those logos YOU should be rooting for. I think it's played on ice. LoL... Anyway, I think "butts in" "charge out." Not head butting each other into oblivion! ?
  16. Wrong...Those counties are the elite suburbs. This ain't no Coastal Elite area. Sure there are urban pockets of Blue. Very much MAGA Country. I live in Will County a few 1,000 feet from Cook: almost a dead heat: Will County 100% Reporting Tweet D H. Clinton 50.2% 146,230 R D. Trump 44.6% 129,726 L G. Johnson 3.9% 11,337 G J. Stein 1.3% 3,717 Again... There is no buffer zone. Sure... Lake County, Indiana was the same, but look at the State: https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/indiana/ Same with Illinois: https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/illinois/
  17. Green Bay ain't no slouch. 1887-1888 they recorded 147" for the season: http://goldensnowglobe.com/cities-highest-seasonal-snow-totals/ To date, 2018-2019 = ~53"
  18. 2017 we had 26" for season. 2018 we had 36" 2019 = 41" so far. Been a very snowy year. https://www.weather.gov/lot/Chicago_seasonal_snow Snowiest winters ever... 1978 & 1979 with 82.3" & 89.7" 2014 = 82.0" Looks like Buffalo is winning this year @ 100" 1/50. http://goldensnowglobe.com/all-snowiest-us-cities/ Chicago in at 17/50. Green Bay @ 7/50.
  19. I always debate it. When putting the logos side by side. Should Bisons be head butting or should they charge out? The Sabres/Bills logo goes in opposite directions. Bills charge right, Sabres left. I prefer them charging out! Sabres first, Bills to right.
  20. That's the Liberal stereotypes Chicago gets. Very much MAGA country all around here. There is no buffer zone like on the Coasts.
  21. For $3million? Not going to get much! LoL... You know how far $3million goes these days?
  22. Same here... I figured it would be total reversal of general population. The official number is around 18% of the general population. I cited it somewhere in this thread. 7% is the amount of manual transmissions sold. I had #s backwards. Anyway... There are still two people who screwed up their votes. Total yes & no votes should equal yes or no in the next two age related questions. Just saying.
  23. Because the is sorta some common ground on this kind of BS.
