WCG Daily Numbers

@Arjai well these may not be what you had in mind... But I searched 17 and 73 together (due to 17th place and 73 reporting), and these are what came up:



Out of respect for recent car activity

For our awesome universe, out of which TPU is the greatest team

OK, Friday night's number's to follow. I was a bit side tracked, gaming, surfing, etc. Then all of a sudden, the coffee shop guy said, "We're Closed." I packed up and hit the sack.

I hope that is not too disappointing!:p

Anyways, another WCG down-ish day ( could it have anything to do with the new FA@H Vina 7.20...._x3... WU's, that take 2 + days for me to run?).

Fortunately for us, the awesome-est team on the Planet, everyone is a little down and we only dropped one place. So, 18th tonight!
Still a solid TOP 20 spot!

Nice work Team TPU Cruncher's!!:rockout:

:lovetpu:
 
Yet another drop off. No worries, yet.
We held our spot, barely.

18th again. Nice spot.

I am mentally preparing for the worst, tomorrow. Please, let's do better than the worst I am preparing for. :oops:

Crunch on Team TPU!!!:toast:

:lovetpu:
p.s. I am sporting a full on headache, so this is gonna be it tonight.:ohwell:
 
Okey Dokey, Smokey! Not quite as bad as I expected, but not good. And Good, if one looks at it the right way. :rolleyes:

Tonight, we posted a rather low number. I know it is Sunday but, we haven't been this low in a long, ish, time. Perhaps we were saved by the loooong ass WU's from FA@H, lately. I'm pretty sure they have been plugging up a lot of computer's. So, nobody is really posting stellar number's, in comparison to before these pigs. So, in comparison, we had been doing really well, even hit 17th, a few days ago.

But, the combination of Sunday, Funday, and FA@H pig WU's, we dropped but not out of the TOP 20. :rockout:

So, that's the Good.

Now the Bad.

2,123,588

And the, could have been, Ugly.

:lovetpu:

Edit. It appears there was also some valuable time lost to bogus Beta WU's...WCG is out to kill our Number's!!:fear:

OK, so, a move in the right direction. Not enough to improve our place but, enough to secure it.

2,551,106

Fine Work. :D

Capture575.jpg


Sorry but, I am beat and sore. Somehow I tweaked my back, at work, and I am in pain after 13+ hours working over cars...I can almost see straight, at this point. o_O

Bed rest for me!! Until then...

:lovetpu:
 
OK, another jump up in number's!! Almost, Almost moved up the rankings!

2,701,112

We're headed the right direction, Let's keep our foot in it!!

Nice work TEAM TPU!!

Gotta get up early, again... I will try and dazzle this Friday, if you all deserve it!! :laugh:

Take care and KEEP CRUNCHING!!

:lovetpu:
 
OK, this is weird! Riddle me this, Batman!

What moves up while going down?

:D

2,551,146, down.

Capture578.jpg
up.

Strange but true! We went down in number's but gained a spot in the standings!

18th tonight!

72 teammates reporting.

Nice work slick, not sure who's palms got greased for todays standings but, I had NOTHING to do with it!!
:laugh:

:lovetpu:
P.S. I may have a good showing, tomorrow. Also, I might be going the YMCA, tomorrow. I have already altered my diet, some.(My Doctor says I have a low T count, not sure what number he has, but, he's sending me some supplements. Then he wants to test me again in 3 months. I'm not gonna take them, I'm gonna boost my T naturally and bring him back the unused supplements, in 3 months.) Once you go on treatments, your body shuts down the factory, then you are stuck taking pills all the rest of your days! Eff, THAT!! Besides, if I am gonna turn into a raging maniac, I deserve to work for it!! :laugh:
 
Ok, I have news and an update. But First, last nights Number's!!

Nothing quizzical about last night. We produces a better number and we moves up in the standings!!

Simple, I like that. :laugh:

Ok, news or newsie, or info for better health, if you have a Primary Care Doctor, be sure you can understand him, or her.
My Doc, a very qualified Doctor, I am sure, is a Moung man with a strong accent. I often have to ask him what he just said.

He called me last Friday and left a message that lead me to believe I had a low Testosterone level and he was gonna send me some supplements. I recieved the package last night, after work. It is a Thyroid medicine to treat HypoThyroidism.

So, I spent the better part of last night and most of this morning researching it. My conclusion is that I am inadvertently, through research and diet changes for T levels, improving my Pituitary Gland. Which plays a role in almost everything in your body's hormonal system.

However, I came across some information particular to Thyroid conditions and the interaction of the Pituitary Gland.

Iodine. Apparently, Iodine is an essential part of Pituitary Glandular Health. The Great Lakes Area, of which I reside, was called the Goiter Belt, in the past because of low iodine levels in the ground around these parts.

So, I came across a few, 3, types of Iodine supplement. I chose the best based on a consensus of patients and doctors and wholistics.

Update-ish: I plan to not take the recommended three drops, it's a liquid, a day because it is a large dose. I don't want to play with the opposite side, HyperThyroidism, no! :twitch: That comes with a side of shit I don't want!

Anyways, in the vein of, 'I don't want to be medicated', I am going to do a drop a day.

Along with my new diet, more Peanuts, Broccoli, spinach and Omega 3,6,9, Plus a drop of Iodine supplement and my normal Vitamins (Oh, I forgot, Red Meat protein...well, any Animal protein over Soy Protein. Unless you are Lactose intolerant, Soy ain't so good for ya.).

Starting in the next few weeks, I am led to believe I will find a whole new source of energy and vitality, along with a better functioning brain! Look out World! I might just try to up my IQ testing scores!! With any luck, I might move into the top 10%!;)

Well, you heard it here first. My plan to take over the World has begun! I promise to be a gentle ruler with a big freaking stick.:toast:

:lovetpu:
 
There is something to be said about Hyper Thyroidism. My spouse spent the better part of 4 years feeling "just different" depressed, mood swings, tired and unbalanced as an individual. She has been taking medication( Iodine balancing med's) for the better part of, oh, 8 months I guess. Not only can she say she feels entirely better, I have noticed a dramatic change for the better in her personality and demeanor as well. She is back to loving life and wants nothing more than other people to be happy. There is a certain aura of glee about her almost every day.
Her Physician determined that with low doses of the med her body would regain control of proper iodine management and production. She has already dropped the dosage twice with success. ( blood work tells all )
By all accounts you should be feeling much better soon @Arjai
Just remember to be a humble ruler and steer clear of your TPU friends when wielding your all mighty "freaking stick". I have no real idea what that is tbh I just assume it turns people into freaks when you touch them with it. Lol. Cheers and good luck.

Thanks. :D

Hearing your wifes story backs up the majority of the research I have been doing. As much as I trust my Doctor and his training, I find, too often, mostly what they offer is that there is a pill for that. I don't like it. I am not a wholistic but, modern medicine has not become the cure all the laboratories want us all to believe.

If I can effectively, naturally, increase the health of my Pituitary Gland, the logic follows that my Thyroid will respond accordingly. If a drop of Iodine in the morning glass of water is all I need to help regulate the Hormonal functions of my Pituitary....What's the Catch?

This med my doc sent me? Three, 3!, pages of warnings and side effects. Not to mention a bunch of food warnings. No thanks, plus, I like all my hair, one of the "possible, short term," side effects is hair loss. :fear:

From what I have read, the signs of an Iodine overdose, or 'over dosage', are easily seen and easily overcome, less intake. I plan on not going there, various bad things can happen with too much, and will just use the minimum. If there is a symptom that I do notice, it is the lack of energy. I also notice that I am not as happy go friendly as I normally am, little things can tick me off and I have to literally fight to not lose it sometimes, over nothing in particular! Also, I am hoping it will help me cope with the multi-tasking at work, I used to be so good at it!

We'll see!! Stuff should be here by next week end. :)

To be honest I don't recall the actual clinical name for the pill she takes. I will look into it later and list it to see if it is the same you were prescribed. Would be interesting to know. Don't remember it coming with 3 pages of side effects. Wow.
 
If I had anyplace to cook my own food, I would definitely give this a try. I am a fan of Sea Salt and have used it in the past, when I had my own place.
Most sea salt does not have Iodine. Real Salt has naturally occurring Iodine.

Bar none, the very best in the world!!! Some of the members here on TPU have known about my very very rare skin and internal disease commonly known as PRP. One of the really bad issues with this disease is it depletes the body of Iodine, Vitamin D, and K which causes terrible lack of energy. I have had the luxury of trying "Real Salt" along with other supplements and I have to say; it is the best out there!
No taste that is better in the salt varieties. Crazy expensive though. :p
 
Well, a bit of a drop off landed us back in 19th. Also, a couple of teams that are usually below us jumped ahead. I don't understand it. @t_ski and @Vinska and @[Ion] have all been posting well, in addition to the usual suspects yet, we are having difficulty nailing down a 3 mil day!

What gives?

I just checked out Free-dc and it looks like the Team member's had a bit of a slow day. Also, only 69 teammates posted today.

Are we all having issues with any WU's? I seem to be running error free, I think. Now I have to go check! ...

Well, looks like the new x3 FAAH WU's have been crap!
Capture582.jpg

Oh well, only had one last time. Now I have another one. Has anybody run these through all 140 tasks without error? I had a few go all the way through but, that was while it was running 24 hours a day, under the bed.

Anyways, our number and position....

I did fail to mention that, didn't I. I only use it in a salt shaker. Cooking with it is pointless. I need to go cook some broccoli...

Look at my recent posts over in the WCG team thread. You will get credited for them and there is nothing wrong with your system. This is an error on their part.
 
Well, yet another drop off but, we managed to save our 19th spot, BARELY!! Those pesky French are breathing down our, collective, necks!
