Well, most of my posts are either DERP!! or BUTTERFACE… but I definitely do not have the most posts on the site. I did manage to knock casemods off of the list, tho. Not that anyone would know. Since the list is still down… sniff… sniff… sniffle… sniffle… grumble…. grumble… and why not throw in a bit of piss and moan for good measure! LOL
FINE I’ll dive in 🙂 I actually have a funny story.
Recently decided to give TNG a rewatch. Kids are old enough now that it seemed it would be safe enough fare to have on in case they seemed interested too.
Encounter at Farpoint went fine, they’re moderately interested and want to see another episode. Move right into The Naked Now. Yeah… Did not remember the scene with Data and Tasha until it started. Following the “techniques” line, my wife nudged and suggested we should watch something else.
In hindsight I may need to research a list of episodes best skipped. They can’t all be Darmok.
I had my cataract surgery today. I was pretty nervous when I arrived, and it showed. I barely slept the night before. I had four very nice and very attractive nurses descend upon me with big smiles on their faces. Within minutes, I was in a chair, leaned back and hooked up machines. They hooked me up to a blood pressure machine and gave me about a dozen drops into my left eye. One nurse asked if I was nervous, and I said that I was. So, she gave me a tiny pill and told me to let it dissolve under my lounge. I joked about how the last time I let something dissolve under my tongue, I saw colors for about eight hours! They all giggled, and I let the vanilla tasting pill dissolve and turn into an awful medicinal flavor. YUCK! A few minutes later, the nurse said I wasn’t calm enough yet- so she gave me a second dose. YAY!! I got SUPER FUCKING HIGH at that point! WWEEE!! I started seeing colors and patterns! I was really getting into the colors and patterns when, suddenly, a nurse said I was all finished! WHAT??!! I was just getting into it, and she was gently shaking me awake. I was taken aback. “I’m FINISHED?? They didn’t do anything to me yet!!” But they had! I awoke with a clear protector taped over my left eye. WTF?? It all happened so fast! They cut my eye open and installed a lens and then used a laser to correct my astigmatism! Wham bam, thank you sir. All for $3850.00 It’s going to take a month for it to fully heal. It was a crazy experience.
They never put a bandage on my eye. It was covered by a clear plastic piece to protect it when I sleep. I can see distances extremely well already. Which is great. But my right eye is near sighted. So, my vision is pretty wonky. I took the lens out of my glasses, and that helped a lot. I am convinced that I’ll have to have LASIK on my right eye to even things out. JOY! But when it’s all done, I should just need reading glasses to survive out in the wild.
Did you get much snow in Florida the other week Tiki….?
Ever seen snow before….?
My wife is Australian, and one of the weirder questions I get whenever we visit there is “what is it like to walk in deep snow?”.
It’s kinda hard to describe it to someone who has never seen snow before.
I’ve seen a ton of snow in my life, but never here in my neck of the woods, we got a ton of it here that week. I’ll see if I can upload some pictures here on the site, I’ve already shared them with the discord channel

I kind of expected the first infinite thread to tank because there was no history to rely on for what people ought to post.
Hopefully this second one won’t have the same issue.
(I just registered this account so I could comment again. My old one wouldn’t let me in for some reason and I had lost access to the email it was registered under so couldn’t communicate my problems. So now I’ve got a name that sounds like a synonym for “hairball”.)
I clicked the link contained in “If you’re logged in, visit www.myconfinedspace.com/messages/ and see if you have any comments that show up. Are they actually replies to you?” to get the warning. I tried again just now and got the same result.
I’m still seeing the search box in the header menu. in all honesty I didn’t do anything around that, so I’m confused as to why it would be missing for you
I’m only commenting here to show you that commenting IS OPEN.
I didn’t feel that I had anything worthwhile to say! And, I still don’t! LOL Sorry…
says the guy with the most comments on the site.

That first season was pure Gene, lots of horny stuff in a space setting.

do you have the bandage off yet? how well are you seeing out of that eye now?

sounds like it was a wild ride, happy to hear you can see better now!

well I wish you had walked over to me and told me about all your problems, I could solve them all! *
* in six to 10 months, maybe.
Followed your suggestions with the attached results.
The first is possibly correct. The second was unexpected.
hope this helps, Warwick
the second response (only one image per comment, hee hee)

whoa, how did you end up at www.meta that shouldn’t be possible, lmao

are you using a non-standard browser? perfectly fine if so, I just want to track down where that’s coming from
Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit). (I run Windows 11 Home & the latest version of MalwareBytes 5.2.4.157). All fairly standard stuff.
here’s a place to dump music that I’m on my mind for no particular reason at all
Hey Tiki- what happened to the search box? Inquiring minds are very confused…………
I’m still seeing the search box in the header menu. in all honesty I didn’t do anything around that, so I’m confused as to why it would be missing for you
It’s still gone. Thanks, tRump…
on PC or phone?
what if you go to www.myconfinedspace.com/?cb=stormy ?
PC I never use my phone on this site
Just clicked the link – still no search box
and you’re looking for the search box at the top of the page in the main navigation section? so weird.
correct
I bet it’s a css issue maybe? what resolution is your screens?
HIGHEST RES POSSIBLE
you’re using an ultrawide 4k HDR screen?
Yup. The biggest one Costco sold.
Oops… I had the page set at 110%. I set it at 100%, and the search box is back! HUZZAH!!
that has happened to me in the past, I should make it so it doesn’t just disappear, but I’ve done so much lately, I need to take a breather.
