  1. gator's right. @MissingInAction if god forbid the safest course of action is to remove the arm, fuck it, take it off. Absolutely get a second, and third, opinion. But if that's what they say gives you the best chance of long term survival, so be it. I can't tell you how many stories I've read of people with esophageal cancer who opt against Ivor Lewis surgery (where they remove much of the esophagus and in my case half my stomach too) where long term the outcome was bad. The odds for long term survival are exponentially higher with surgery. So I didn't hesitate. I lost almost 60 pounds, throw up 4-5 times per week, can eat much in the way of fried foods or high sugar content foods, and eating in general just isn't that enjoyable anymore. And I was a HUGE foodie. But 4 post op scans later, I'm NED. And my kids get to have their dad around a little longer. I know cutting out your guts does not compare to losing an arm, but just for perspective. My life has changed in a lot of ways, but the surgery gave me a shot at having a life. Without it, well, I may not be typing this.
  2. So we do a pool for every major. Pick 2 players from the OGR top 10, 2 from 11-20, and 3 from 21+. Total prize money wins. Give me your thoughts. https://www.owgr.com/current-world-ranking
  3. Went to our favorite Mexican restaurant tonight. The only establishment open north of Medecino on Lake. Have to support them. The population of Altadena is probably 20% of pre fire.
  4. A little spooky. Went to move this Yeti which had been sitting in the backyard since the fires. An ember apparently landed on it and burned through the lid. Thank god it was the Yeti and not the roof.
  5. Lakers throttling OKC on the road rn.
  6. Fucking Dodgers. They suck. Season's over.
  7. 4 total hits in the game through 6. 3 for Philly, 1 for LA
  8. Done deal. He just committed.
  9. never lend us a red cent again.
  10. I was at the game where Gretzky broke the record. They stopped the game and did a big presentation.
  11. Fuckers finally lose.
  12. Yeah, I've heard things like "low motor" and "low basketball IQ". Hopefully Mick can get his head straight. We need a 5 badly.
  13. Bruins close to landing Xavier Booker from MSU. 247 just put n a crystal ball for him to land at UCLA.
  14. I don't think so. The infrastructure investment is going to be pretty minimal. Virtually all of the sites already exist.
  15. Exactly. I couldn't argue against a single point.
  16. A good, and thoroughly depressing, article. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-american-age-is-over?r=1emko
  17. Who approves this shit. I get wanting to shake things up, but those are hideous.
  18. 30 years ago today (damn, it's been a long time).
