I've visited The Nostalgia Zone as well back in the 90's and it was a memorable experience. Definitely one of the best shops I've ever been to. I shopped them about dozen of times from 95 to 99 when I was super busy at work and they did a very good job of shipping it on time and one of the things that I ordered from them was a birthday gift to a dear friend of mine. I'm thinking of doing business with them soon.

Still nothing from Mile High here and waiting on two orders. I guess after the amount of time you have to wait I'll file for a Paypal refund. Once I got something very late and repaid the seller who had refunded me. I've noticed when there is tracking that things that go through Chicago are the ones that have the longest times and problems.

I've noticed when there is tracking that things that go through Chicago are the ones that have the longest times and problems. I'm waiting on an order and its been 15 days. After 3 weeks I might make a fuss. Edit Update: I received a tracking number this morning after 16 days of silence and its saying I should get the parcel on July 2nd.

Today promises to be a bit of rubbish.
At work, my division is in the final stages of breaking off from our parent company and becoming our own entity, which is great. Only problem is that the transition plan really wasn't set up that well, so we lost access to our old systems yesterday but our new systems aren't online until Monday. That means that working today is going to be A LOT of downtime, as I can't do anything for either company.
However, that is probably a good thing, because I found out yesterday that I have a tear in my right retina that requires immediate attention because it could develop into a detached retina in short order. As such, I will only be working until noon today before heading off to the eye doctor to have another laser procedure (second one this month!) on my eye to try to fix the ongoing problems I'm having. Should be fun.

Appreciate the concern. According to the doctor I saw yesterday, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being worst, the severity of the situation right now is about a 2. The problem is that things like this can escalate and worsen very quickly, so when I asked if I could wait until Monday to see someone, he shot that down and insisted I get in today, as even delaying over the weekend could double or triple the severity level. It's going to be fine, I'm sure, but it's inconvenient. Since it's a holiday-ish weekend, three of the four retinal experts in this practice group are taking today off, and the only one working is in the office farthest away from my house (about 35 miles, as opposed to anywhere between 8-20 for the other three).

Finished off a two day jury trial yesterday with a hung jury. Some defense attorneys take that as a win. I find it singularly unsatisfying.

My brother-in-law had a detached retina, as did another friend of mine. Prompt attention is/was the key for both of their cases, Cap. Glad you're on top of it. get it attended to as quickly as is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if in the interim, you were advised not to do a whole lot of anything. Not something to take lightly. Both recovered just fine. Theirs were far further up that scale than yours, too.

Here's hoping that all goes well with your eye, Captain!
What are the symptoms of a torn retina? What made you see the eye doctor?
Also, I hope your corporate spinoff goes well. My employer went thru that in 2014. We never lost access to our systems, but things have not gone entirely smoothly - which is why the new company is now one of the lowest-rated on Glassdoor.

You'll be in my thoughts with the eye surgery.
I had the exact same thing and needed to get it fixed asap.
When I went to the surgery they were months out, but I took the first appointment I could get. This was a few years ago.
About a month later they called me saying there was a cancellation and did I want to come in today.
Yes of course.
The doctor is performing the surgery and a few minutes in I yelp from the pain. I couldn't take more than a few seconds at a time.
The doctor asks, "Did you take the eye drops for pain that they told you ?"
No, no I hadn't as they hadn't mentioned it.
Oh well. I'm here now, let's get this over with.
Memorable to say the least.
Take the eye drops before hand Captain !

What's up everyone. Just released from the hospital this morning after being there almost the entire week. Oxygen level and blood pressure is back to normal after being drastically low after dialysis treatment this past Saturday.
Hope everyone's health is up to par and no one has bad health issues lately.

I kind of doubt it. My client didn't enjoy the trial process. I probably could of gotten a mistrial because of some comments from the prosecutor in closing argument, but my client didn't want a mistrial and requested I not make the motion. The jury was apparently 11-1 to convict (the bailiff usually knows pretty well where they're at). So at this point I suspect she will take a deal of some type it's just going to be a matter of working it out. The prosecutor made some mistakes I exploited and she still was almost convicted and he won't make them a second time. And I had an almost flawless trial and it isn't going to get any better.

Oxygen is a good thing. Keep breathing. Glad you're doing better.
