heffray posted:Retail on new good chairs is $1k, you can find them at used office furniture stores for a lot less. I got a pair of Steelcase Leaps for $150 each, and they'll easily outlast whatever cheap foam & particle board stuff Staples sells at that price. Checked CL and there's a place selling those used for $250, might have to go check it out thanks.

Gotta love people trying to hide the fact that the car they are selling has a rebuilt title, hoping that some dumbass will come along and pay full market price for it. "but it's fine it's in great condition" go gently caress yourself

So after looking at and driving a bunch of different cars in my price range and being mostly disappointed, I'm just getting another xB Driving across the state to get it too, buying it from a Mercedes dealer of all places in West Palm Beach. It was the only clean, low mileage and decent priced xB I could find near me, but it's a good excuse to spend the night on the beach at least

Powershift posted:What were the bills like when you were first dealing with your Chron's? My first year with UC i spent like 5 months in the hospital, and over the past 6 years have probably had $500k worth of drugs run through me, and I'm not even American. That was all through the VA hospital so i have to pay a small percentage but.....It took them a year to figure it out, at first they thought it was a bladder infection and put a camera up my dick hole to look around and found nothing, then all kinds of scans and MRIs. Still nothing. Scope in each end and nothing. Welp, must be psychosomatic so they sent me to a psychiatrist and tried to put me on antidepressants and i told them to gently caress off. Then finally a gastro doc suggested a pill cam and that's when they finally found it. Tried to get me on Humira and I said gently caress that. Been using medical grade CBD and it works wonders

Powershift posted:Yeah, i was sent home twice with "the flu" until i showed up with a hemoglobin level of 60g/L, which is pretty much death. Is it medical grade CBD made from Cannabis or Hemp CBD? Because Hemp CBD is worthless. There are times when I will take up to 50mg in one day depending on how I feel, some days I don't take any. Tincture/oil drops under the tongue work the best in my experience.

slidebite posted:I recently tried CBD (Cannibis) sublingual and it was absolutely worthless for me. I was hoping it would help my sleep and maybe the back pain I sometimes get..... but on me it was worthless on both counts. A little disappointed after all the CBD supposedly works with controlling inflammation, so unless your pain is inflammation related I don't think it's going to help much. It does absolutely nothing for my back pain either, but it stops my crohn's flareups dead in it's tracks. Did you give it time to build up in your system? It takes at least a week. Also CBD is just like any other drug in that it affects people differently, my wife uses it to help her sleep, but other people I know that have tried it said it didn't help much if at all either. I'm really lucky that it helps me otherwise i'd be on some lovely drug with horrible side effects like Humira. That being said, i like to tell people that have had no luck with Hemp CBD to get registered and get the real poo poo first before they completely write it off. I've tried Hemp CBD a few times in an effort to save money (it's half the cost) and it's failed me every time. I also smoke regular weed and tbh it's not some awesome pain reliever like some people make it out to be, at least for me. It helps take the edge off my arthritis pain a bit but that's about it. Most of the time it's not worth getting high just for a small amount of pain relief when I have poo poo to do. At the end of the day sure, but otherwise no. Darchangel posted:Just curious, why no to Humira? Is it just the $LOL cost or some side effect? My wife was taking Humira for her psoriatic arthritis, and it worked, but our insurance changed and no longer covered the (exorbitant) cost. Mind you, they’ll cover all sorts of things For osteoarthritis, but gently caress you if you have psoriatic. That’s apparently not uncommon with insurance. Dicks. One of the side effects is death, lets just put it that way. The more common poo poo is always being sick because your immune system is compromised on it. That's the biggest complaint, there are more problems but most people that are on it complain of being sick all the time. https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-64713/humira-subcutaneous/details/list-sideeffects That's a long rear end list of possible complications.

Darchangel posted:And hoo-boy on the Humira side effects. I will have to mention that to the wife. It's not really an option anyway, being something like $5K/month for the dosage she was using. Yeah I had no clue until I was on a crohn's forum (there's a forum for everything now lol) and there was a thread about Humira horror stories and i was like  The amount of people having problems was crazy, almost everyone said they were sick of being sick all the time and of course cancer stories and poo poo like that. This was before my doc tried getting me on it, but I knew he would eventually because the steroid treatments weren't working and when that time came i said hell no I'm gonna try CBD first. Thank god it works for me, it doesn't for everyone.

slidebite posted:RE: CBD. I tried taking it 3 days in a row with no discernible effect - maybe I'll keep going a little longer on it to see if it does anything at all before turfing it. I purposely bought the kind with minimal (~0.6mg or something) THC so I don't think it's good for much else. I was told by my dispensary to give it at least a week. It started helping me in a little less than a week, some people it takes longer, and some it doesn't help at all. It's worth a shot for sure.

Wow I just had the complete opposite experience....Bought a 2013 xB from a Mercedes dealer this past weekend and it was the smoothest transaction with a dealership I've ever had. I negotiated the OTD price with the salesman via text, came to a reasonable price and sent them a deposit. Sent in all the the info they needed to have the car ready, got there and looked it over and took it for a quick drive. Signed all the appropriate paperwork, handed over the cash and i was gone in 30 minutes from the time I walked in the door. would have been sooner if it wasn't pouring rain. The dealership was super professional and treated me with respect even tho i was buying a lovely econobox at a Mercedes dealer A+ would recommend it

meatpimp posted:How does it compare to the old one? Can you grab the springs from the old one? It's actually a bit quicker, I wonder if they bumped up the horsepower from '12 to '13....If not maybe my old one had an issue or something. The old one is at auction right now so who knows where it will end up. Even if it ended up in a yard near me I know the front left spring and strut are hosed. I would like to get back the RAV4 leather steering wheel i had on it tho.....But i can always find another one on ebay. Besides, I plan on just driving this one until I get a settlement from the accident. If it's a decent amount (and it should be) I'm gonna get a new Civic Sport MT probably.

They'll rise and fall but I see it more like waves hitting a beach. And yeah, calling rock dead is being a dick- there's a whole world of incredible performers and new ideas and ardent fans in the rock scene out there and to call it dead because it's not currently as commercially successful as um, Ed Sheeran (had to look up the t40s lol) is to crassly dismiss all of those people and their collective passion. Lol I realize the scene is still there but as far as rock being mainstream or popular music it's over. This isn't a knock on it because like I said I love it (look at my avatar it's loving Keith Moon), but denying it and calling people dicks for pointing it out doesn't make it less true. Saying "rock is dead" is just a term stating the popularity of it is nowhere near what it used to be, it doesn't mean it's buried six feet under, some of ya'll are taking it way too personally geez.

Tomarse posted:not being mainstream is not the same as being dead! The mainstream is generally pretty poo poo. Are decent cars dead too because the mainstream drive a boring appliance? It's just a term that means rock is no longer a part of the mainstream dude, in that case it's true. And yes the mainstream is poo poo. Just imagine if all the cool cars dominated the market and boring appliances were in the minority.....That's how it was with rock in the late 60's going all the way into the 90's. Being born in '71 I got to grow up with all the cool music and see the rock genre grow into the monster it was in the 90's. I went to so many shows I couldn't begin to count, it was a great time to be a music fan. It's just kind of sad now how computers and autotune programs are making all the popular music now days, it's all poo poo.

Lord Stimperor posted:Okay I think I know the feeling... But are you genuinely missing the music more, or is it maybe that you're missing the highs of your youth? Because for me it's the latter. In terms of music, the amateur/indie scene positively exploded when SoundCloud, Bandcamp and so forth came out. I miss being blown away by a new band or album coming out, it's all been done already and nothing sounds new or fresh to me anymore, just a variation of poo poo that's been done already. When you've experienced the innovation of rock music (or music in general really) from the 70's into the 90's nothing really comes close these days tbh. Doesn't really have much to do with my youth, because I can still listen to that music today so there's no yearning for something that isn't there anymore or something. I can still listen to Alice In Chains' Dirt and remember the first time I listened to it not long after it dropped in record stores, thinking holy poo poo what is this. That just doesn't happen anymore.

I did that but went in reverse to older stuff. It's how I fell in love with The Stooges and Iggy Pop. Went through the Beach Boys' entire catalogue they are amazing. And got to appreciate The Rolling Stones even more. Also purely by accident discovered Live at Leeds, probably the best live album ever recorded, always loved The Who but for some reason never listened to any of their live stuff what a mistake lol.

Geico can suck a dick. Took almost a month to get a reasonable payout for my totaled car after they low balled the poo poo out of me. Only after many phone calls arguing with them then finally threatening legal action did they finally make a reasonable offer, not even a good one really. Their initial excuse for the low ball offer was "paint was chipped and scratched". Sent them receipts for recent work done, including full TRD suspension that was two months old to the tune of over $600 and they gave me $50 credit for it.
