  1. I saw Lillian Axe probably five times in Houston in the early 90’s. They had some great tunes for that era and a number of them stand up today. Stevie Blaze, their lead guitarist and driver of the band, was excellent and sometimes broke out the nylon string classical acoustic for some intros. My Number is a great song. Misery. Body Double. Lots of good ones. Ron would always introduce Body Double by asking the crowd “How do you double your pleasure and double your fun? Fuck twins!!!!” since that is what the song was about. I used to be able to sing this and do the scream in the intro. Pretty sure that isn’t happening today!
  2. I don’t recall if this has been posted here before and I’m not going back to look.
  3. Dari and Mel was a far superior show to whatever ESPN has on Saturday mornings now. I miss their show.
  4. Volcano Vista? That’s a school? Do their cheerleaders all dress like Lava Girl?
  5. Dammit dude. A remodeling contractor we have used is Type 1 diabetic and wears a deal on his arm that connects to a phone app to monitor his blood sugar. He has totaled two trucks in the past two years because he didn’t make it home in time to get an insulin shot. Thankfully he went off the road and hit fences or ditches and didn’t hurt himself or crash into anyone else. It can be scary! He has decided that come 4 o’clock, he just has to stop and go take a shot because his sugar starts to get out of whack about that time. Glad you are ok!
  6. 7 years ago in the U.K. it went for over $500 https://reverb.com/item/18777173-yamaha-dw15-acoustic-guitar
  7. Waldo is easier to find in a brightly colored jacket and screaming and holding arms up.
  8. I guarantee you the OSU players had a harder time in practice defending the sneak.
  9. Guys, Herman was a genius. He was on the cover of Texas Football drawing up plays. He was “building culture” at Texas, as some fanboy on this board said when he started a thread about it. Live long enough, and not be from Alabama, and you will quit acting as though coaches are the Messiah. Bum Phillips was right about there only being two kinds of coaches.
  10. If if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, we’d all have a wonderful Christmas. Never change, college football discussion forums. Never change.
  11. I thought we said no diaper talk?
  12. Why does Ohio State put pot leaf decals on their helmets throughout the season?
  13. I really like Sark. He was a good hire. And I love his story of redemption and overcoming addiction that has taken down many people in every walk of life over human history, yet he has done well the last few years. That being said, people that think he’s an offensive genius need to stop being fanboys and be objective. He might end up showing the world he’s an offensive mastermind. But he’s not there yet. Look at last year. With the exception of Michigan, the offense didn’t go crazy on any helmet schools or really schools with a pulse/bowl teams. When a Sark offense goes up against a quality defense, it does what a lot of other offenses do - it struggles. Don’t freak out. Almost every other school would love to have Sark and say “we were in the playoffs the past two seasons, what did YOU do?” But yeah, scoring in the teens against quality defenses isn’t a good trend.
  14. Short answer: maybe They would likely put you back on the drip. Or, if available, a pill for “maintenance chemo”. Or put you into a trial for experimental drugs if one is available and you qualify. Long answer: there could be multiple options My experience was surgery, heal for a month, then do chemo and radiation simultaneously, then I was clear for a year. When it came back in my liver (colorectal cancer that was metastatic to my lymph and liver), they switched to a different chemo. Once that cleared out the tumors, I was clear for a year. It came back in my liver and one lymph node by my aorta. Tumor board and liver board argued about what to do. Medical oncologist wanted to try another chemo. Surgeon said “I don’t want to try surgery on him after you have had him”. Radiation oncologist said “make a decision, I’ll jump in wherever you need me”. We ended up with liver resection and lymph removal and intra-operative radiation by my aorta where that lymph node was removed. I have been clear ever since but it was not easy. Or cheap. My oncologist that referred me to M.D. Anderson had even told me she would like to consider chemo before doing something as aggressive as they were suggesting. But then she thought about it and said “you are young, you can handle all of this”. If radiation doesn’t work, be prepared for some way-outside-the-box thinking. They don’t like to lose battles and they will try to come up with something to kill that cancer and not take you with it in the process.
  15. Share your submittal for best ZZ Top song and tell me why this is it.
  16. What is that character on your brother’s shirt? It looks a little bit like the guy on the “Go To Jail” space on the Monopoly board.
  17. What year will that pic stop being funny? Will any of us live to see it?
  18. I was able to escape most of the bone pain. My spine and neck would ache the first day after a shot but it went away after that. But man there isn’t much to do to get pain out of your bones.
  19. One clinic I went to charged my insurance $1200 for Neulasta. When I switched clinics at my first recurrence, the new clinic charged $6000 to insurance for that shot. They always wanted inject in the stomach because it was not supposed to hurt as much. Bullll sheeeet I think there was Karo syrup in that little syringe. It was slow going.
  20. I had it for a year. Changed the flange maybe every fifth day? Nobody at work could tell I had one. It was horrible to wake up to but turned out to be very manageable and probably helped me avoid some side effects. Had mine for a year.
