Just got laid off...

[Soulstation1]

A friend at the bar complained he had to close Friday / Saturday / Sunday nite

at the bar

I told him don't complain at least you got a job and 35+ hours

Business is down there and they are cutting everyone's hours

At least I can do the chairs for a brew

[Soulstation1]

For the past few weeks

I must wake up 6 times every night while sleeping and I normally get around 6-7 hours of sleep

Nevermind the totally messed up dreams I'm having every night

Probably TMI

[Dan Gould]

That's something I'm thankful for - I still get the same (relatively) blissful sleep. Doesn't hurt that a doctor would probably find my clinically depressed which explains my inability to get my ass out of bed in the morning.

If you need a reason to get out of bed maybe you can pick up tennis again.

I wish I could but since the end of last year I have had a right shoulder that regularly barks at me, particularly for all over-hand activity. I think that I may have injured the rotator cuff when I helped my wife move a pallet of bricks to the backyard, at least that was the most noteworthy physical activity that occurred before this pain developed. But unless it goes away, my tennis career is over, and while this is the time of year I think about looking for a softball league, I'd be worthless there too.

Your mention of over-hand activity sounds similar to a condition I had some years ago -- what they call frozen shoulder. It lasted about a month to 6 weeks, but only because I went to rehab to fix it. Range motion exercises and some other treatments involving electrical stimulation. Without the treatments, it could have lasted as long as what you're describing, but I was assured it would eventually clear up on it's own over time.

As I understand it, the condition arises when some fiber-like material in the shoulder socket basically seizes up and hardens, making even the lifting of your arm over your shoulder quite painful. I couldn't start a lawn mower, for example, because I could not pull my arm back that far. I would wake up in the night literally screaming in pain because I'd rolled over on my arm. Freaked my (then-) wife out. Not fun for either of us.

Interesting, but actually my pain has never been that bad. Nowadays its a dull ache mostly, aggravated if I throw overhand. I also notice it if put my arm across my chest, then lift it toward my left shoulder.

[sidewinder]

Had the same thing myself about a year/year-and-a-half ago on the LH side. Total agony, I couldn't put any weight on the left arm or shoulder.

It took about 3-4 months to clear up. For the first few months I kept waking up half-way through the night, every night, in intense pain.

Makes me cringe even thinking about it !

I hate asking people for a cash loan

I'd rather do without

[Shawn]

I have temp work tomorrow and Tuesday, first time I've worked in almost 3 weeks. But nothing else on the horizon yet.

[Soulstation1]

FWIW

Sold 3 more soy wax candles last night

Have sold 21 candles so far and people are BROKE

Everyone that has bought one really likes them

SS1,

Have you considered trying to sell any of your soy candles to any stores? You might have to charge a lower price but you might be able to sell more of them- just a thought...

[Soulstation1]

I sold one candle to my barber's wife and she has a area in the back of the shop for the ladies

We talked about her selling them in the shop

The major problem at the shop is there is pieces of hair everywhere

Not really sure I can sell for less than $7 or $8 each

I am into them for around $4 per candle

I make 2.candles at a time it takes the same amount of time to make 1 or 2 candles

So making just one candle would increase the amount costs per candle

Much more if I buy 10 lbs of wax instead of the 50 lbs box which is over $90 including shipping for 50 lbs

The shipping is almost as much as the wax itself

Someone is selling soy wax in town but it is not 100 percent soy wax, it is a soy wax blend

Also on this batch I had to buy all the supplies except wax

Somehow someway I have got to get my car running

A friend said he might be able to get a starter installed for me

I need to pump in about $2000 into the car

I bet after I get the starter installed my timing belt will go out on me

I expect the worst things these days

Edited June 11, 2009 by Soulstation1

[Jazzmoose]

I'll be honest; I'm just not a car person. I don't think I've ever spent $2000 on a car. A motorcycle, yes, but not a car.

Damn...I just realized what a strange SOB that makes me!

[jazzbo]

Don't feel alone.

Most I ever spent on a car was 500. I spent 17, 000 on a motorcycle last year.

[Shawn]

Soulstation, what kind of car do you have?

[Soulstation1]

2000 Honda Civic HX

Needs

Timing Belt

Major Service

Starter

Brakes

Aligment

Power window on driver side is broken

It will go half way down and will not go back up

Plus something else I can not remember at the moment

[Chuck Nessa]

Screw the window and deal with the rest in this order:

Starter

Belt

Brakes

Deal with the rest after this.

You could do the brakes yourself with a little research.

[7/4]

Screw the windows.

I spent a lot of money on my car in March and that's what didn't get fixed.

...

[Soulstation1]

Trust me the window is on the bottom of the list

Had the problem.before and got it repaired and it broke on me again

It has been broken for almost 2 years

[Shawn]

Start calling around to local salvage yards and try to get the parts you need. The starter should be fairly easy to locate.

[Soulstation1]

Bought a starter from a salvage yard at the end of February and it lasted for about 6 weeks

I have a 2000 Honda Civic LX, 93,000 miles now, and never a problem at all. Seeing all those issues you've got leaves me worried about when my luck will run out.

Just curious - why not timing belt first? If that goes....
