    My 14 yo says dad there are two kinds of weather. Hoodie weather and the kind of weather where you wear a hoodie anyway.

    My 16 yo son wears a hoodie and shorts for weather ranging from 95 degrees down to 9 degrees.

    Passed on the Dickel.  Interested just because it was a store pick.  Picked up some Wild Turkey RB instead.  

    Wise choice.  Dickel has the weirdest multi-vitimin aftertaste to it.  Wife bought me a Breckinridge Distillery bottle in CO a couple of years ago.  Took one sip, declared it Dickel and forgot all about it.

  3. Early reports said he fell jumping out of a hot tub and hit his head on concrete.  I’m not saying I don’t trust the coroner, but that sounds much more likely than concussion trauma to his internal organs.  Sounds like a whale of a mortar!

    Commotio cortis maybe?  (Google it - nightmare fuel for parents of little league pitchers)  But not if he told his teammate not to get in the ambulance.  Freaky stuff!

    I was there same time with my 14 year old.  Nice quaint little tournament with 171 courts playing simultaneously.  My ears are still ringing…

    July 4th means the traditional Terry posting

     

    The laugh at the end gets me every time.  A tradition like no other.  Well, except the Waco Christmas lights story…

    saw this on reddit.  probably bullsh, but maybe not?

    Probably another Weller variety I won’t see in person in years if ever, like the SB or the CYPB...

  7. I'm in, where's my t-shirt?  One ear, non-stop, varying intensity, always the exact same very high frequency tone.  Once I was at Dollywood with the fam and heard a machine whining at the exact same frequency.  I asked the fam if they heard it, yes, of course.  That is in my head 24-7.  Minds blown.

    The weird thing about these ads is that they don't mention a brand name.

    Some do, some don’t.  I’m pretty sure the rules that govern those ads say if you don’t give the name of the drug, you don’t have to give the laundry list of potential side effects.

    When I was in the hospital for my stents, a random doctor working the floor one night stuck his head in my room to read my chart. He was in my room for about 2 minutes. Never saw him again.

    I had to pay $700 on top of my copay because that doctor was out of network and billed me for that visit.

    Anyone who follows MedTwitter humor is probably familiar with Dr. Glaucomflecken (@DGlaucomflecken), an ophthalmologist in Oregon who makes parody videos poking fun at the medical profession.  Not too long ago he had a cardiac arrest in his sleep.  Lucky bastard’s wife was awakened by the sounds of his agonal breathing, called 911 and was coached through CPR by the 911 operator.  Survived.  While in the ICU at an in-network hospital, he was treated by an intensivist that was not in-network.  Keep in mind, hospitality and intensivists are full time in-house, and he didn’t have a choice, he was not conscious.

    Cigna sent him the bill for the out of network charges.  Being an ophthalmologist with plenty of free time, he spent hours fighting it and mocked Cigna mercilessly to his 300K+ Twitter followers.  Eventually it went away, but not because Cigna paid the doc, because Cigna strong-armed the hospital to get the intensivist to eat the charges.

    There should be a law that hospitalists and intensivists on staff at in-network facilities are handled as in-network providers.

    Critique all you want, but when it’s time to boogie anything can happen. It landed when where it needed to and in the end that’s all that counts

    FIFY.  Anatomy and physics were not his friends that day.

    my pacemaker tech says I'm going to need a new one next year, I'm sure the bill just for the device will be $250K.  Last one was 2010 and it was $95K.

    Nope.  Assuming its just a straight change-out, and not adding or replacing any leads, it will be less.  All based on the DRGs, like Sawbonz said.

    Don't get me wrong, the bill will still be higher than you think it should be, but not that high.

    Damn right. Barrell is delicious. I had my second date with Seagrass and I might be in love. That one is fan-fuckin-tastic.

    Your syntax and your avatar match perfectly.  Can’t help but hear this in my head in Ron Swanson’s voice.

  13. FYI, a second GA location off I-75 in Calhoun is under construction, expected opening this Summer. 
     

    On a somewhat related note, QuikTrip is building a location off I-40 in Dickson TN, just west of Nashville.  No other locations in TN at the moment.  Both Whataburger and QT in Nashville definitely does not suck.

    Wife and I got him by chance on a public tour a couple of years ago.  He’s fantastic for that gig!

    when you're coming from texas, thats basically the same neck of the woods.  besides, say what you want about their bourbon, jack daniels is one of the better distilleries and tours in the country.

    Just don’t call it bourbon while taking their tour.  Technically it is, but them’s fightin’ words in Lincoln county!
