Hey you guys, what is this thing that just showed up on my neighbor's roof across the street this weekend? I mean I know it's an antenna, but I have never seen one like this for something. It looks like a rocket.

I keep telling my DH that all I need is a good hour long massage and my congestion would break up and I'd be a whole new woman. He's not buying it. RB. lol


I am assuming you were hoping HE was going to give you one??

Okay, if you are trying to break up congestion, a massage isnt the best. some good old fashioned Physio is what you need and GUYS love to do that.

Take a nice hot shower and then all he has to do is Thump you on the back - over and over again- above the waist- all over the upper back completely randomly.

for some reason I think guys like to not have to worry about a 'massage' but if they just have to mindless Thump, they'll go it!!!

I used to get pnuemonia a lot when I was thin. I used to con a good thumping out of almost anyone. Even a 15 min thump will help loose phlegm up for hours.

GOOD luck!

((Hey, good looking guys Chill..

Sunsh...it didn't really have anything to do with the congestion. It was more about getting my mind OFF the congestion. lol

Naja, I wonder if it's a special super duper one for HDTV? Either that or they're taking home defense to a whole new level!

It's pointed at the neighbors next to them across the street, so I think I am ok, Juju..LMAO!

I think you're probably right Kitt. I think most people on our block get HDTV through comcast cable, but maybe they don't. I don't really know them personally. But if you want the gossip on them, it's a middle aged very pretty divorced woman who owns the house, and she has several male suitors Not that I pay attention..LOL

I think if you don't have a cable service and instead have a satellite service, you'd have a satellite dish. Not a rocket on your roof. Why don't you go ask 'em? Since it's not pointing at you!! :-)

lol, Naja.

I asked DH to take a look at it and FWIW he says it's just a regular antenna. But he's not all that technically oriented.

Regular antennas and HD antennas are the same thing. If you have a strong HD signal in your area and a TV with an HD tuner, then you can probably tune in the HD channels with the good old rabbit ears. The weaker the signal, the larger the antenna. People who are very far away from the signal source might use that large of an antenna just to tune in the standard definition signals being broadcast.

The people selling the "HD antennas" don't want to tell you this. These are the same people selling $60-$100 HDMI cables that are no better cables you can get for $5-$10 from many websites.

It could possibly be an antenna for certain bands that amateur (ham) radio operators use. My DH and I both have out amateur radio licenses and he has quite a little antenna farm going on here at home. I do know that some people make their own and use aluminum which that looks like it could be made from. Just a guess and your mileage may vary.

That also makes a lot of sense for what it could be be, Alwayzmovin. They have lived there a few years already, so it being a "regular" antenna makes no sense, since it just showed up.

I have a question about my pills, if I forget to take one should I take it later or wait until the next time I am supposed to take it. The way I have done it now is that when I forget to take the morning pill I wait til the next day, but maybe I should be taking it in the afternoon. What do you guys think? I always forget to ask the doctor and the nurse.

Dipo..there are usually instructions for what to do if you forget a dose on the paper that comes with the Rx.
I'd hate to steer you wrong, so I'd suggest reading the paper.

Dipo, go online and check out the dosage info. It's always there and usually says if it's only a few hours late to go ahead and take it. If it's almost time for the next dose, then don't take the missed one. But be sure to check it out.

NOthing on the paperwork from the pharmacy, except "don't skip pills", LOL. I know that, duh. I take a diruetic (sp) in the AM and a cholesterol in the evening.

I will try to remember to ask the doc/pharmacy. I did buy a pill box thingie so I am better about not forgetting, I just always wanted to know.

Dipo, it is different for different pills, so you have to ask for EACH one you take. Then maybe you could put a tag on the bottle or something telling you what to do if you forget one.

Those pill boxes are an excellent way to help you remember to take your pills. Of course, then you have to situate the pill box somewhere that you will SEE it and check it to see if your pills have been taken, LOL. For me it is easy, because I eat three meals a day at the table, so I just keep the box on the table. Maybe if you brush your teeth every day, you can put the pill box with your toothbrush? Something like that.

Who is a singer, probably most famous in the late 50's or 60's. There was a movie about his life about 2 years ago? It might have had blue or sea in the title...
