    So if anyone wants to create/update their signature line:

    Click on your avatar in the upper right hand corner. Select "Edit profile" from the dropdown. Update your signature (and any other info you might want to add, like your website). Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the Profile page and "Save changes".

    You can also change your Picture if you don't want the default icon of the first letter of your user name.

    Click on your avatar. Select "Change Picture" Upload your picture, either from your device directly or from a URL. I decided to keep my WTF avatar of my pup Maggie, so I just logged into the original WTF and did a "copy image link" of my pic over there. Save Changes.

    I've added a link to this thread in the Tips , Tricks and How-Tos thread.

    Space junk. Interesting piece. Security and audit trails in earlier years were not what they are today. It could have been an ill advised techie flexing his muscles.

    I haven’t been to Zion since 1969. I’d like another look for sure!

    I finally had a chance to read the article and look at the pics. What a bizarre house. I mean it's really creative in some respects and retro in others (some of the furniture looks like it came out of my parents' house). Definitely a niche bit of housing.

    Wow! That's wonderful. I love how these stories about WWII keep popping up. Some are offbeat and others are inspiring. This one is both!

    @ShiroKuro said in Blood pressure cuffs:

    we're not the professionals here, so there may be things we don't know to advocate for, or don't know how to.

    I have never let this stop me and offer my medical insights and opinions to my doctor on a semi-regular basis. 😄

    Fortunately he takes it in stride and manages to find ways to help me correct any erroneous ideas I might have, and to nudge me in the right direction. If I persist, he lets it drop without making a big deal about it. He's a really, really good doctor. Stays on top of things and is always looking out for the best interests of his patients. I think he's a rarity and I'm lucky to have him as my PCP.

    Yea, my Android phone suggests emojis for my texts all the time. And if I send a text with a question ("Do you want to go for a walk?") and the recipient doesn't answer, the next day it asks me if I want to follow up because I haven't gotten a response.

    Thanks Google, I don't want or need the help. There's probably a way to turn it off but I haven't chased that down yet...

    We had one of those rock hard gel packs too. They’re unusable. I’m pretty sure that one was from Walmart too. We switched to Ace bandage brand ice gel packs and had good luck with those.

    I used to use those packs all the time for migraines. As it happens, switching meds (almost two years ago now) was life-changing for me and I can’t remember the last time I had to lie in a dark room with an ice pack on my head.

    @ShiroKuro totally agree. Read the profile of him in last week's New Yorker. Truly frightening.
