The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.

Thinking of picking up a S95 and selling the LX5+bounce flash. The NEX5 is small enough that I can carry it around with me everywhere in my sachel so it is replacing the LX5 there. The S95 would be something I could pocket if I didn't have a bag with me (or I didn't want to be conspicuous). The LX5 isn't really that pocketable (at least in my jean pockets). Is Sony going to discontinue the S95 or should it be around for a while (with some good deals maybe around the holiday)? -
Looks like Jim is going to be beat *again*! What's up Jim?

Had a sip of wine tonight with dinner (no longer taking any "good" drugs) since I was upset about the whole cpm machine screw up and my hubby thought I should have a little to calm down. Still don't want to drink too much until I am off crutches since I don't want a little fall.

Awesome quote Tyll!!!

I am getting my butt kicked in both leagues.

No bands yet, a lot of really little easy things (a lot of isometrics and passive ROM with a few active ROM thrown in). I need to vent. I am really really pissed right now. I have been using the CPM on a bed with an old mattress and 3" foam topper (so it is really squishy) and the CPM was set to 30 degrees until yesterday when I went up to 40 degrees. The machine felt a little off but I wasn't having any pain really so no problem. Well, in order to be a little more social, I had hubby move the CPM to the living room on top of my PT setup (which is a hard table with a exercise mat on top). I started using the machine and it just wasn't comfortable. I felt like the machine when it was going up towards 40 degrees was pressing my leg into my hip. Then I kept telling hubby that I thought the upper part of the leg was too short. When the guy "set up" the machine, I remember me lying in it (on the squishy bed), and he set the "calf" part of the machine to the right length but don't remember much else (I was a little drugged since it was the same day as the surgery). Well, I search online and find the manual. The first direction is to measure your femur and adjust the "femur" part of the machine. (He definitely did not measure my femur, hubby says so). I looked and it was just set on the shortest setting possible (which is 30 or 31 cm, cannot remember). I look up online about how to measure the femur. I do a very rough measurement and get about 16 inches which is about 40.5 cm! So basically, the guy totally fucked up (or didn't care).... it was way off. In fact, I checked by setting the machine at 90 on the setting he had it on with my leg in it but not strapped in and the angle was probably around 60 degrees (well, nothing near 90). Fucker! Now I have to worry if this has put enough pressure on my hip to set me back or mess up the surgery! I did keep trying to adjust and didn't use it too long like this since I knew something must be wrong so hopefully it didn't do too much damage. I am also not in too much pain, just a little more sore than before (not enough to have to take a pill). I think I am not going to use the machine until I go back to the PT tomorrow (perhaps they can accurately measure my femur) and call the doctor and call and complain to the company. Fuckers. Edit: And, I am pissed at myself for "trusting" that the person who is trained to set it up, did it correctly, that is so unlike me. Never again.

Sweet build!

Because of my surgery, I forgot to change my lineup before Thursday so I got stuck playing Tebow over Brady.

Ok, found the other thread: Basically Toto is good except the monkey doesn't like them. Also American Standard Cadet 3 seems to be liked. No mention of dual flush vs regular flush. Oh, and I hope Jacob eventually got his toilet fixed.
-
Any downside to getting a dual flush (problems down the line), besides price?
-
Please fax.
-
Most likely due to their faulty website. Seriously, that sucks. Hope you get it soon.
-
Yep, that is right, toilets. We need a new one. I know some people have done some remodels lately and Steve seems to be the bathroom remodel king queen. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or models/brands to avoid.

^Are you planning a tough winter in Texas?

Went to my first physical therapy appointment yesterday. Did the home exercises today (16 exercises some twice/day)... damn they take a long time. Don't know how I am going to do this and go back to work next week (which I hope to do). Also, I am supposed to get 6 hours a day in the constant passive motion machine, guess I'll have to do this while sleeping. I am still having little to no pain so I didn't take any percocet today (I took a 1/2 a pill yesterday before the PT appointment but I don't think it was necessary). The only thing is that I now have a bit of pain in my good leg (probably from hopping around too much), my wrists (from the crutches), and my back/neck (from sleeping on my back). So I took 1 ibuprofren for those pains. Doing lots of icing all over.

Only 20 bottles Colin?

Ok, you want that back? I assumed it was a present. I was wondering why it didn't come with a bottle of FFF.
-
Awesome "deal" on the D7000 Nate! I am definitely jealous.
-
Bet it tastes like crap.
-
Wow, that is an impressive amount of time to be sitting. You certainly earned that FFF!
-
Good to hear it was an easy fix. No fun to get a new toy and not have it work.
-
Good peat there Mikey! Me jealous.

That pepper mill is sweet! Love the bar stuff as usual Jim!
