What REALLY grinds your gears?

"self checkout".......................:smashfreak:


Im a big fan of self checkout. I partially blame my kid for walking away after placing her phone down. Her third phone in three years. The other two drowned. [emoji1750]

My Grandson is very much the same way, he's fourteen also .He's on # 4 and I know three of his also drowned. God it must be the age!

Not me, I think if I'm helping the Company keeping cost down I.E. less employee benefits I should get a discount.

Ouch that sucks punch. Def. sucks that you can't put something down for that short a period of time and it will get swiped. Good learning lesson though.

And thanks for the kind words about the sciatica. Gotta go find me an orthopedist soon and hopefully get on with some physical therapy.

Mred I watched that video you recommended and did the exercises - no joke I literally believe it made it worse lol. The pain in my leg is much more intense since I did that on Thursday. I had a friend send me some more exercises she did to get over her sciatica, so we'll see. But I'm still gonna go see an ortho to see what they say. I'm not opposed to physical therapy just because I did 6 weeks for my fractured wrist earlier this year and it's back to normal now.

Think I have a pinched sciatic nerve - gears literally grinded to a halt. The pain in my leg is so intense. I've tried every "home remedy" in the last two months and nothing has worked. Was kinda hoping it would just pass on its own but nope. Even sitting down and my leg and my hip throbs.

You doing any better?

Did you ever check out a Chiropractor?

Working on it. I had a phone appt. with an ortho on Saturday, he gave me an imaging order for an MRI. Gotta set up the MRI now and wait for the results to come back.

I slept on the floor last couple of nights, it seems to help as the pain in my leg isn't as intense. Might do another night or two just to see, I think my lumpy mattress isn't helping. On the bright side though I called in the warranty on it and they approved the claim so in 3-4 weeks I'll have a new mattress, but COVID is fucking up the mattress industry so I gotta wait lol.

My Wife's back is a nightmare but in short we have a "Tempur Pedic" bed and it's amazing! My back has never been as bad as hers but this thing is amazing! They are not cheap but well worth the money .We are on our second ,first was a Queen and we upgraded to a King we still have both.. A Doctor can even prescribe one it helps.

I had sciatica like symptoms for over a year.
Went in for an MRI and found out I have spondylolthesis.

I did all the stretches, saw a chiro, and had little asian girls walk on my back but it never improved until I started strengthening my core.

Took about 3 months but the pain was finally gone for a while.
When covid hit, I stopped doing core exercises and the pain came back a few months later. I have to keep up core exercises.

Good luck on the MRI results!
