  1. Our fantasy football draft order this year is determined by how many times we can rep 135, our vertical, and our 40 time. Basically a combine for slow white old dudes.
  2. I had an unintentional movement and reposition on my back/lower legs while bringing the weight down and had an awkward bar reposition. Felt a muscle "jiggle" in my shoulder area. Stopped and went home. Now the muscle in between my left TRAP and shoulder blade on my back is in pain when I move my arm around. Nothing hurts per se when Im still but its looking like its gonna get worse before it gets better. No issue on my chest. Initially I felt the jiggle in my left shoulder but now the pain is really on that upper back area. What did I do? how long am I out? What do I need to do to recover? I took 4 advil and am icing my shoulder and upper back area on my left side. Getting old sucks Pain is where the supraspinatus muscle is on the back side and then the front shoulder deltoid like where my bursa is.
  3. Navy Seals use box breathing to reduce stress and anxiety. I use it and it helps with most any situation where im nervous or stressed. Breathe in 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. repeat. See below. To begin the practice, expel all of the air from your chest. Keep your lungs empty for a four-count hold. Then, perform your inhalation through the nose for four counts. Hold the air in your lungs for a four-count hold. When you hold your breath, do not clamp down and create back pressure. Rather, maintain an expansive, open feeling even though you are not inhaling. When ready, release the hold and exhale smoothly through your nose for four counts. This is one circuit of the box-breathing practice. https://www.medicinenet.com/why_do_navy_seals_use_box_breathing/article.htm
  4. I'll get the same use out of that tux as I would my solar eclipse glasses.
  5. Ive thought about it and while Im sure you wont keep any logs, this is the first thing that popped into my head when I read that. The P in VPN stands for porn, at least for me. So with that... I have to keep my Asian fetishes to myself.
  6. Here are 2 pics we took 1 minute apart. The difference between a 99% eclispe and a total eclipse.
  7. Subtle change in the blue sky. Subtle changes in overall light. But it is for sure noticeable now
  8. Quarter of the way across here in flower mound. Looks incredible. Still partly cloudy.
  9. Just got sunny in Flower Mound after an hour or so of thick cloud cover. 2.5 hours left for the clouds to hold out.
  10. I'd buy a T shirt and coffee mug for sure. Since it hasn't been mentioned I'd also buy a computer wrist rest or mouse pad
  11. It's the Dunbar team from the 80s.
  12. After reading this, I completely agree. The thread as run its course and is not a goodbye thread. Time to do what you need to do Imma but letting this linger through Monday isnt right. And delete the thread after please. No reason to keep it running either.
  13. Never in a million years would I think Blacklab's name was Bob. I always assumed he would be like a James or a Caleb. My insignificant contribution to this thread is Derka, put Motown on ignore. Jesus. You arent a child. Take a step back and look at the reality you have created for yourself with this situation. Its stupid and childish. I like having you here on this site even though I dont think you and I have ever interacted with each other. I view you posting here as part of the fabric of Surly and assumed most everything was a tongue and cheek back and forth between you and the other posters. Immamac, I personally wouldnt ban him but you have to do what you have to do. Derka, Motown and Imma all need to take a step back and reassess this as it has gone WAY too far and looks stupid to most everyone else here. Anyway, whatever. The Days of our Surly Lives.
  14. Every single Congressman knows if they are the ones to usher in some austerity/balance the budget, they will never be re-elected. And the American public is too stupid to see any further than their next paycheck. There is only 1 solution. Congressional budget limits must be set by an independent committee, IE the fed. Congress can spend it however they wish but the Fed tells them what the limit is per year.
  15. I was a raid leader in WoW for a Mythic guild for about 10 years. This is all true. I developed some wonderful managerial skills that I have used and continue to use on a daily basis. I have been a pharmacy director managing upward of 20 people both in person and remote. Every time I look at a resume I hope to see something like this. I would be intrigued. But they better not lie about it because I will call that shit out in 1 question.
  16. Wife and i are enjoying it so far. Going in completely blind. Just finished ep 2.
  17. What helped me the day and night before was rubbing aquaphor or Vaseline right on my butthole a few times throughout the day. Also after the first couple shits, ONLY blott your asshole, stop wiping. The no eating part was bad but not nearly as bad as I thought. Get some chicken stock. My only issue was around 3 am where I was in and out of sleep and thought to myself, it's just going to be a toot. It was not just a toot so there was a change and a sheet wash. Other than that, the prep wasn't the worst thing in the world. Still not a great day, but it was manageable and not nearly as bad as I was led to believe. Procedure is a nothing burger. I have to go every 5 years due to family history but so far so good.
  18. I dont like the cowbell. Too muffled.
  19. That 1 question interview with buzz was cringeworthy and painful. Gave me mitch McConnell vibes
  20. The pic was funny, in and of itself, but the timing was so incredibly bad I can't stop laughing. Of course everything turns on its head now that she has cancer, esp being so young and with 3 young kids. But don't lose too much sleep over the pic. Your last 2 posts are peak surly. Most of us know it's all good.
  21. This is what they do
