Back in november I stepped in a hole while I was at Desert Daze and hurt me knee for a few weeks. then it turned into back pain for a few weeks after that.
well, this passed Friday was one of the most painful days of my life and I had to go to urgent care for my back. urgent care was a waste of time and only made things worse so I wound up in the ER. after several hours waiting for pain meds they did an MRI and found out that I slipped a disk inward towards my spinal chord by like 6mm. I'm feeling better now, but it looks like surgery is in my future.
...all because I stepped in a hole at desert daze. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Are you SURE surgery is required? I’ve had a slipped disc the other direction as well as a tear. I did neuromuscular therapy and did not have to have surgery. Once they start cutting on you, it does end.

Get several opinions.
good point, this was all based on the ER doctors who admitted they were not neurosurgeons. the on call neurosurgeon at the ER said to send me home and get evaluated to see if surgery will be needed so maybe I'll get lucky.

Any dads on here?
My GF has been in a huge fight with her shitty dad, who ranges from "tolerable" to "The Worst", since the weekend. He doesn't try to understand her, doesn't like that she's gay, etc. She's been having a rough week, and it's so hard to watch this sixty-something moron (who she wouldn't give the time of day to if he was just some dude and not her dad) take over her thoughts and feelings. I've done all I can do, but I know it doesn't feel the same coming from your female partner.
So Dads - how do you dad? What would you say to your gay daughter (if you don't have one already) that would be nice to hear? I can pass it along, and maybe it will help?

Not a dad, but a single mom my 23yr old son's whole life. As a parent I can't even imagine what he is doing to her. It is wrong and unacceptable. I never understood parents like him. If she was my daughter (regardless that I am a mom) I would tell her, fuck what others think, you are special in your own way and are loved for who you are. Being different is such a difficult road, so try not to take to heart what others think or say (as hard as that may be). Remember that in the long run, the only person that matters is you and your partner. Love is love is love is love and you are amazing.
Again, my heart hurts for her and the way her father treats is treating her. Nobody deserves that type of treatment.

Be yourself and be happy with who you are. That’s what any decent parent should want, along with health, more than anything for their kids

This is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things but I'm bummed out it looks likely that the baseball season won't start on time. It's the only sport I really watch anymore, and I was hoping for the near-nightly mindless distraction.

right there with ya. Maybe we get a miracle and they reach a deal by Monday. Maybe.

Welp, I just found out I’m not getting my contract job, which was my main source of income, back after my PFL period terminates at the end of this month.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?
UPCOMING SHOWS 5/14 - Neil Young & Crazy Horse @ Forest Hills 6/8 and maybe 6/9 - Governors Ball 8/17 - King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard @ Forest Hills 9/4 - Pearl Jam @ MSG 9/7 - Pearl Jam @ Wells Fargo Center 9/11 - St. Vincent @ Brooklyn Paramount
Welp, I just found out I’m not getting my contract job, which was my main source of income, back after my PFL period terminates at the end of this month.
Nothing like being unemployed with a newborn.
Whoa! That sucks. I hope that it is a workers' market there like it is here (especially in my department). Fingers crossed for you.

Damn, that sucks. I hope something else comes up for you and your family quickly.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I'm so sorry. I hope you find something soon, and I wish I had any connections that would be a living wage for a family!

Anyone else having issues where they can’t “un-shuffle” spotify-made playlists? I wanna listen to my discover weekly / release radar in order & it only shuffles now?!
And yes I wouldn’t gotten off the Spotify bandwagon but I made playlists for work (my bargain basement DJ persona) and it’s hooked up to our system. Boss won’t spring for Tidel

There are so many Grrrrrrs to be made about climate change, and this is so fucking petty in the grand scheme of things. But, I have been tapping my maple trees the first week of March the last three years here to try to make syrup or just have maple water (admittedly, my attempts at syrup making have been a failure, but I keep trying). The first year I tapped and got a lot. The second year, not so much because it warmed up too soon. This year I have been watching the weather, hoping the temps are going to drop back down to what they need to be for a successful harvest. They are not. I missed my window and I guess I need to readjust to an earlier tap date next year. Disappointed.

Fresh maple syrup is so great compared to the stupid shit most Americans buy for their maple sy'rp needs. I grew up on the crap too (Log Cabin, Aunt J/Pearl Milling). But it's just artificial shit they concoct to make it taste like syrup. Having family in Western NY State, we get tins of Grade A or Grade A Amber frequently. And otherwise, I won't buy anything but pure maple syrup at the grocery. It's a couple bucks more, but you know what you're getting. Syrup out of a maple tree.
There are a lot of health benefits (nutrients, antioxidants, etc.) in real syrup. It's sap that's harvested and then boiled to get some of the moisture out. That's it.
Whereas Log Cabin contains the following: Corn Syrup, Water, Sugar, Contains 2% or Less of: Salt Natural Flavor, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Benzoate and Sorbic Acid (Preservatives), Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Mono and Diglycerides.
Pearl Milling: CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, SALT, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND SORBIC ACID (PRESERVATIVES), SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE (there's that motherfucker again).
I don't know about everyone else, but I don't really need caramel color or whatever Sodium Hexametaphosphate might be. It doesn't even sound like something that is found in nature, but I'm not a chemist.
Fuck it. It's the grrrrr thread. I'm going to look that shit up.
Sodium hexametaphosphate is a salt of composition Na₆[(PO₃)₆]. Sodium hexametaphosphate of commerce is typically a mixture of metaphosphates, of which the hexamer is one, and is usually the compound referred to by this name. Such a mixture is more correctly termed sodium polymetaphosphate.
Purpose in food:
What is sodium hexametaphosphate used for in food
Sodium Hexametaphosphate, also referred to as E452i, SHMP, Graham's Salt, Sodium Polymetaphosphate, or just Hex, is an additive in a variety of foods and beverages and commonly used for thickening, emulsifying, and adding texture.
