  1. Funny I just posted about my shoulder MRI in the MRI thread a few hours ago. Hurt my shoulder benching (dumbbells). Symptoms sounded similar to yours. This is what the results showed. I just turned 47. Injured it in December, got the MRI results late January. It is still not healed. I work with a trainer and he works around it. I am a side sleeper that doesn't sleep very well, meaning I toss and turn from one side to the other all night. I believe that sleeping on my left side is preventing it from healing but at this point in my life I value sleep a lot so it's hard to rectify that. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582148/#:~:text=Distal clavicular osteolysis results from,bench pressing or overhead lifting
  2. I had one done on my shoulder a few months ago. I am generally not claustrophobic and have had plenty of MRIs on my knees, back elbow, etc. The shoulder one was not fun. It helps to keep your eyes closed the entire time and remember that the other end is open. Try to keep your mind occupied, count sheep or go through baseball lineups or whatever you can do to keep your mind off of it. I would not take a gummy as that might lead to paranoia. I would look into a xanax or something if I had to do it again. Sorry this isn't a terribly uplifting post for your situation. I've had them before where they give you headphones and let you listen to music, that is also helpful. For this shoulder one, they did not.
  3. I did not realize what had been going on with Derka. Damn. He is going to win this championship. Do you have a way to get in touch with him @ztejas so we can get him paid?
  4. Well I could have gone to the gym today. Instead I found this thread. This sucks.
  5. Read my post above. It couldn't be easier. You do not need to configure your smart tv in anyway. Just download and log in.
  6. I have express vpn. I also have used Nord in the past. Both are fine. When you sign up for the service you will get a username and password. You will download the app to your device that you want to use and log in. You can select the suggested "smart location" or you can drill down and pick from a number of US or even foreign locations. Hit connect. You're in. I can't speak to all of the services where you might procure your sports subscriptions but I can confirm that if you were to purchase MLB Xtra innings or NBA League Pass via Amazon Prime, and you use the VPN before connecting, you can watch blacked out games. I fear that Amazon may be patching this (the smart ones prevent it by saying you are connected to a VPN. You can't access content until you are not connected to a VPN). I have received similar messaging a couple of times over the past 2 years, but it only lasts for a day or two and then I have no problems accessing stuff despite being connected to the VPN. It helps to know how to clear your data and cache for Prime. Yes it can impact performance if you don't have a fast Internet connection. I do not have fiber here and I rarely have issues but there have been a few occasions where I have had buffering streams and disconnecting the VPN solved the issue. I should add that all of my experience is on a smart TVs/Amazon fire devices and maybe on a laptop. I don't know how it would work on a smart phone if your wireless connection is pinging off of a local tower. You may have to turn cellular off and strictly use WiFi. That's all I know, hope it is helpful.
  7. The fact that this bitch sat up there today and said that they were good parents and that this could happen to anybody alone should be enough to throw away the key. She does not get it.
  8. Anyone know or follow Sam Ferrugia? He is @sam_ferrugia on IG. I'm sure the algorithm led me to his content. This guy makes the best looking briskets I have ever seen. He trims the shit out of them until they're a perfect oval shaped mound with just a tiny bit of fat cap. I am not sure if this guy runs his own shop or what, Google doesn't turn up much. I'd buy his master class though, damn. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4oqd_8OrpI/?igsh=ZmZlNHVxeWppZzYx
  9. Is Die Hard Godfather Part 1 a Christmas movie? I say yes.
  10. Going to take a minor miracle at this point. Oh well. Can someone remind me again of the keeper rule for FA pickups?
  11. I'm kind of a sicko but I watched a lot of Pistons games this year. They're local and I have a lot of TVs plus Cade is getting better and is fun to watch. Anyway, my .02 is the current version of the Pistons where Cade and Duren have a fake injury every night, Beef Stew is ofs, Ausar is ofs and it's pretty much Jaden Ivey and 4 guys on 10 days....would still win, by a lot. Probably not covering 45. Detroit's best 8 would beat the brakes off of UConn.
  12. Not so fast my friend, I just picked up Peyton Pritchard to start in place of Loon.
  13. I think we talked last season about moving the playoffs up two weeks. This is just dumb.
  14. Though I agree with he who shall not be named that this is fake as fuck the amoxicillin story definitely resulted in a chortle.
  15. Mountain lion attack in Northern California kills one, Kevin escapes and is expected to survive. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/man-survived-california-mountain-lion-attack-killed-brother-108447289
  16. I don't know what your plans are, or for how many days, but I have taken to renting cars from Turo on trips. You can usually get a nice, late model roomy SUV for about 50/day including taxes and fees. Then you have the freedom to check out I Drive during your golfing downtime as a bonus.
  17. Thank you again md, those links are great and I have already started down the rabbit hole. Did you (or anyone else) ever go to Universal Hollywood? I was thinking about that for a day, mostly because my kids would like to see Springfield. I don't think we'll be going back to Florida anytime soon. Some good material about Universal at those links, as well, just wondering if anyone has any personal experience.
  18. hitby/Neikea is trying to rip you all off. I'll sell you this same chair for $3700.
  19. Amazing feedback. Thanks so much! I'm super bummed to hear that about Haunted Mansion. That was the one ride I really wanted to see as I know it's different and I like the other version so much. Damn.
  20. bump. I decided to book 5ish days and 4 nights in LA in late July. I think we will only do 1 park day at Disneyland and do other stuff for the rest of the time. Staying in Anaheim in a condo that apparently is walkable, or walkable to a shuttle. @mdmost is one day enough? I think our primary interest would be seeing the other version of the attractions that we like at the MK and certainly any can't misses that don't exist in wdw. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
  21. Please tell me you put someone's title as "Baron"...
  22. Guys in the OG Dalton literally ripped a guy's heart out of his chest using only his bare hands. Stop trying to be Roger Ebert.
  23. Which is what made it fucking awesome!
