    - Don't try to use Loverboy songs with your Foreigner Belt. They won't work. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 7, 07:31
    - Yep, Loverboy is opening. (Beauty School Dropout, whom I've never heard of, is opening for Matchbox 20.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 07:29 3
      - Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead! Enjoy! -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 07:31 2
        
        I'm already exhausted. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 07:41 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 08:00
- I'm going to a shitty indoor flea market in the altoona suburbs to look for speakers. hoping to eat some overfried fries while there - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 7, 07:06 1
  - and thank you krusty for reminding me: even if no fries, I will be eating hershey's ice cream this weekend bc altoona is lousy with hand dipperies. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 7, 07:08
- washing dogs, fancy dinner, dropping SM at the airport:(, gambling, lazing around. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 7, 07:05 6
  - what kind of fancy dinner? Fancy dinner sounds fun. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 07:07 5
    - Only the cleanest dogs allowed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 08:40
    - not all that fancy but fancy to us: Maggianos -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 7, 07:15 3
      - that counts as fancy (and fun) -- nm - oblique Jul 7, 07:17 2
        
        right? I just realized our version of Applebees is Texas Roadhouse which we eat at once a week :/ -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 7, 07:21 1
        
        Maggianos is yum. And they have white table cloths so definitely fancy. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 07:41
- Daughter is home for 2 days before heading out again (RA (I think?) for jazz camp at Butler). Probably a lot of laundry, unpacking stuff from her 2 - oblique Jul 7, 07:05
- Guardians 3 tonight or tomorrow. House stuff probably. No OT this weekend. Raining here most of the weekend so not much and boys will be over tomorrow - sycor Jul 7, 07:04 1
  - A movie weekend sounds very enjoyable. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 07:14
- Doing a Zoom ice cream social for my MIL's birthday on Saturday. Patching up my bathroom walls and ceiling on Sunday. Might prime the room as well - Krusty Jul 7, 07:02 7
  - Yum! 🍦 -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 07:17
  - Ice cream is ++++ The rest sound really not fun. I'm trying to decide if I want to hang 6 ceiling fans, or just pay someone. - sycor Jul 7, 07:05 5
    - I'd pay someone. I did one with my dad once. It was 'ugh' and if it is any kind of hot (which it is), then working in the attic is 'super ugh' -- nm - oblique Jul 7, 07:06 4
      - Yup. I put one up recently and it's not difficult just very annoying. You need help as doing it alone is very hard. I had to hold the fan while - Krusty Jul 7, 07:13 1
        
        agreed -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 09:26
      - Luckly the rooms are already wired for the fans. So it's just taking down the lights and putting up the fans. And figuring out which - sycor Jul 7, 07:08 1
        
        Fans are easy(ish) to install, but you likely will need assistance at times. Plus, with 6, if it were me, my arms would start to get shaky - JaxSean Jul 7, 07:11
I would 100% watch major leaguers run through Tom Emanski drill (and other ideas to make the MLB All Star Game better) -- (link) - spamlet Jul 7, 06:48 5

  - Krusty, hardcore baseball purist - Tim Jul 7, 07:01 1
    - I mostly am and I'm going to be so angry when I see those abominations. It's wrong and shouldn't be happening. If I was rich rich, I'd buy them all - Krusty Jul 7, 07:03

  - Thankfully no. -- nm - spamlet Jul 7, 08:00
I have not slept well the last two nights due to needing to get up an urinate. Either I have diabetes now, or my body is confused without alcohol. - sycor Jul 7, 06:30 25
- Yeah, it’s probably the hydration. - znufrii 🦄 Jul 7, 07:34
- similar for me. I stopped having a couple drinks and put on 3.5 pounds. had a couple the past two nights and lost it again - Beaker 🍺 Jul 7, 06:47 7
  - Haha! I'm really hoping the not drinking with cause weight loss, not weight gain. - sycor Jul 7, 06:55 4
    - You'll drop weight if you don't start eating trash to replace it. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 06:58 3
      - tbh, this is the issue with weed for me.. i get snacky, but i don't drink when i'm doing it, so i think it's a net positive? -- nm - colin Jul 7, 07:31
      - I snack more if not having a beer or two. so this makes sense. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 7, 07:07 1

  - I need you to post this on Twitter…and start a movement (similar to “go to Italy, eat tons of pasta everyday, and lose weight). -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 06:51 1
    - Man I wish that was true. :-) I miss having pasta multiple nights a week. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 07:00
- I really think it's simply your not drinking that's causing this and will eventually subside. Alcohol dehydrates you and your body will try to hold - Krusty Jul 7, 06:44 3
  - I agree. And getting lab work in 2 weeks will definitely answer any questions. But I'm sure you are right. - sycor Jul 7, 06:47 2
    - You got this and I'm sure things will go back to normal once your body has had some time to adjust. And don't watch movies about waterfalls before bed -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 06:49 1
      - or chasing them (or so I've heard) -- nm - oblique Jul 7, 07:03
- Two hour sleep-wake-pee cycles seem normal to me. Also, I'm old. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 7, 06:34 7
  - It actually is just about every two hours. Very annoying. I guess "old" should be one of the considerations. - sycor Jul 7, 06:36 6
    - Since it just started happening I'd assume it's because of the changes in your habits. Make sure you go to the bathroom before you go to bed. - Krusty Jul 7, 06:39 2
      - Thanks! I'm sure it's the change in my bad habits. Everything else seems to be fine. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 06:43 1
        
        I'm sure you're right. Increased hydration has benefits but more frequent micturition is the price. - Bari Seldon Jul 7, 06:46
    - Have you tried melatonin? Helps me get to sleep at night but I think it also has a positive effect on the urge to pee -- (edited) - oblique Jul 7, 06:38 2
      - I may give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion. I'm also still intaking fluids like I was before to help offset dehydration, so I probably need to - sycor Jul 7, 06:44 1
        
        I suggest just waiting a week or so for your body to flush out everything and to adjust to your new lifestyle. - Krusty Jul 7, 06:47
- the obvious answer is - oblique Jul 7, 06:32 3
  - or - decline Jul 7, 06:32 2
