  1. @BearSchlong You know better than most that going to church and being aware and in search of the divine does not confer immunity to worry and stress or depression. Elijah and Jeremiah both were ready to check out. Fuck it, this sucks, everything is shitty and I just want to die. What I got out of their recovery was the essence of the farmer parable We don't know everything. No matter how much we think we do. It's not as shitty as we perceive it to be. Doubt your doubts. And get a nap and some food. Don't fucking give up no matter what. Make the universe take you out. Refuse to fucking die Sisu.
  2. Could be both? When I had my heart episode the best way I have to describe it was tightness in my chest and I couldn't catch my breath. The widowmaker was blocked and had a friend along for help trying to take me out. I was tired all the time previously but I attributed it to getting old and being too lazy to walk as much as I did before I put on the supervisor hat. I wasn't taking any meds, which I certainly should have been and it finally caught up with me. I don't know how much stress and worry contributed to it. If anyone has some good studies on this, please share your findings. I know stress/ anxiety/worry all contribute to an unhealthy heart but how much and what do we do about it? I do know that when they ran the two stents it was like a switch was flipped. Laying there on the gurney I felt like I could get up and go home. Seriously. It was night and day difference. Obviously that wasn't happening. I had to hang out for a couple of days before they would turn me loose, but I haven't felt like I was worn out all the time and I have more energy than before. It was a good feeling to hear the cardiologist tell me that we could cut it back to once a year instead of twice. It's going to be 5 years in May.
  3. Heard. Getting it as soon as it comes in
  4. Yay football. I don't know how long I will be able to tolerate it tonight. My level of give a shit is barely registering.
  5. After some consideration the best description I can muster up is a Yorkie. Insistent.yappy, but mostly harmless. He annoyed the hell out of Rex which made for some fine entertainment though.
  6. You've going to have to put up with a lot of Drew. Would not recommend
  7. He's also a member of a rather exclusive club. They can make things difficult for the Clips. I guess we'll see what happens.
  8. Yeah, we're stuck with watching the Cowboys getting embarrassed during prime time. Spike to me head
  9. Bump this thing again. Feeling like some songs might be ok
  10. I don't particularly give a shit who your main might be or was. Come on back if you're not done.
  11. Almost there. Say something else Not necessary. Bye fucker
  12. The best people. Rumor is that it's his security bunch. Rocket, who have a history of getting into Twitter fights with randos. Also that it wasn't Dangle but a different Steve that actually said the stuff that pissed them off. At any rate it's good fodder for the off-season.
  13. Hot off the email. Keep an eye on hibiscus and okra, cotton if you actually farm, but they probably already got the alert. FYI: Two-Spot Cotton Leafhopper Detected in Texas Curtis Smith Industry Update – Two-Spot Cotton Leafhopper Detected in Texas Henry Larowe The two-spot cotton leafhopper (Amrasca biguttula) has recently been detected in Texas, traced to hibiscus shipments from out-of-state. This pest is already appearing in retail environments and poses a serious risk to ornamental plants and crops. Why This Matters Causes hopperburn: yellowing, curling, browning, and wilting of leaves. Hard to detect: insects are small and feed on the undersides of leaves. High risk of spread if not identified and reported quickly. What You Should Do We are asking all industry professionals to share this alert with retailers, growers, suppliers and landscapers in your network. Early identification and coordinated action are essential to prevent this pest from becoming established in Texas. Next Steps TNLA is monitoring this situation closely and will share updates as they develop. Early identification and coordinated action are critical to preventing widespread establishment in Texas. For additional background, you may also review the Florida pest alert issued late last year.
  14. What is wrong with you? Goddamn you need to get right
  15. Bye Edgar Montrose
  16. I'm still rooting for the blood clot. Just one good one is all we need.
  17. I was told by my buddy down in Austin when I was going through divorce 2 that Denton County is best approached by someone from there. I heeded this advice.
  18. Sweatergawd we know it's raining Turn around, don't drown. Now get the hell off my TV
  19. Laughing and crying. I haven't had the same attitude since I had my run in with the widowmaker. Every day on the right side of the dirt feels like a bonus. I still have to fight off the sad, but it's days like today that make me glad to still be here. From the man that taught me the term, "grippy sock jail".
