Everyone complains about the high rents and high home prices in Austin. But according to a website called Apartment Finder, which I trust, there are 4,213 rental listings between $600 and $1,050 per month. That is a huge number of housing opportunities. Austin is often seen as an up-and-coming...

Back in the day, we could see three great bands for five dollars, before the era of Ticketmaster. The Allman Brothers Band was my favorite, along with Jimi Hendrix. But the band in the video below is in a different category altogether. I have no idea how they came on stage with no warmup and...

I saw an article in the Tampa Bay Times today about a small cochlear implant that performs sound processing using a device attached to the skull. It is small enough that your hair might hide it. I only skimmed the article and have no idea if something like this would work for tinnitus, but...

I forgot about this, and it looks like it may take me a while to gather all the documents. When I checked, it said that everyone must have a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification. What qualifies as acceptable? I’ll probably end up figuring it out right at the deadline in a few...

I was recently attacked by a huge pit bull while on my eBike. The hospital ER was a nightmare; I spent 18 hours there and never saw a doctor or was given a room. My regular GP then sent me to a wound clinic where I've been going back every week for a re-wrap of the ankle and exam. One of the...

I live in a senior building, and many of my neighbors suffer from peripheral neuropathy. That made me curious because I’m an older guy and don’t have those issues, just a light tingling in my palms from decades of bike and eBike riding. The Cleveland Clinic website says: “Surgery (for...

...would I wake up in Heaven, ready to go? Or would I be directed to That Other Place? (If you like warm climates, what’s not to love?)

I've been reading many articles on OpenAI, and to me, it appears to be a thinly disguised excuse for more mass surveillance. Like most people, I have a home computer and use it frequently. Too frequently. This is where most of our lives are being tracked by companies like Google, which has...

I've been noticing two interesting side effects of Sildenafil, the main ingredient of Viagra (besides the obvious impact). First, it also works for many post-menopausal women. Second, my mind is sharper when I take it. It turns out that the drug is helping to delay the onset of Alzheimer's, and...

If I had my way, I'd eat 505 roasted green chili and chicken burritos every meal. Donuts too. Fortunately, the other side of my brain sometimes overrides that. This is a high energy soup recipe. Fresh pineapple, tomato slices, ginger, garlic, 1/2 lemon, jalapeno, Louisiana hot sauce, black...

Has anyone here found that their tinnitus increases or decreases with changes in humidity and barometric pressure? Everything I can find online says that this can happen. Going through my journal, the last few months in Tucson had not one mention of tinnitus. But after my move to Little Rock 4...

My LDL cholesterol levels have been chronically high so my doctor changed my medication from Gemfibrozil to Atorvastatin 10 mg daily. I've heard of a LOT of issues w/ statins and tinnitus, and they all mention "of all the statins available in the US, only Atorvastatin is associated with...

Hi, I'm momus (Steve), and hope I'm doing this right. Just signed up today. I'm a Southerner from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and now in Little Rock. So... tinnitus. What can you say? It has changed my life, as it probably has w/ everyone here. It's better sometimes, worse sometimes, doesn't...
