Anker makes a cheap vertical mouse that works pretty well for me. I would suggest trying that first because it will take time to get used to.
If you are willing to spend a little more, the Evoluent vertical mouse absolutely beats everything I've tried in terms of comfort. I bought an older model on eBay because I didn't want to spend a lot. The only problem with the Evoluent is that the button your middle finger is under is the middle button and your ring finger is the right click. If you can remap the buttons, then it would be hands down the best option. Unfortunately, not everyone can install stuff to remap buttons on their work computer.
Holy fuck are you me? I still have around 7 boxes from my last move on a shelf. From about 5 years ago. And several more smaller cardboard boxes just in the middle of the garage floor (I started cleaning, but stopped).
I got you fam. Here's my playlist. It's not exactly the same, but there's a big overlap between funk/soul and gospel. Don't judge by the first couple tracks though. There's some gems in here I really think you'll like. Many of these tracks I've gathered have female lead vocals, because that's what I like.
2 looks like a finger with a "fresh" tattoo to me. That's what they look like immediately after they are done. Kind of swollen, and they are usually covered something. Probably to make sure it heals properly. I'm not an expert though.
In a boxing match they ring a bell to signal the end of the round. He's saying he can't take the heat anymore. He's lost the fight. "Ring the bell already. I'm done. I can't take it anymore".
