  1. I am downtown and agree - never seen it this dark in the daytime before. It's night here.
  2. Why let a pesky issue like "who actually made it" get in the way of shit piling on Boeing?
  3. I started running (again) about a year ago and built up to a marathon training block and a marathon in January. Weight melted off from about 230 beforehand to 160 at my lowest. I had been running 40-50 miles per week through March when my right knee started hurting in the last mile of a half marathon. It never got better and the MRI showed a significant cartilage defect. Surgery (OATS procedure) was described as three weeks on crutches, three on a stationary bike and then introduction of regular running. So that didn't happen. I woke up from surgery in a full knee brace and now it's 4-6 week with no weight on the leg at all, then a reintroduction of weight in 25% increments. So 4-6 months of recovery. And I'm told my marathon running days may be over if I don't want to risk a total knee replacement. So beware overtaxing your old ass bodies. I ran through a number of injuries and it caught up with me. The good news is my weight has been stable at about 170 without real exercise for the last two months.
  4. This thread is a fucking disaster.
  5. I'd get loaded up with sedatives at MDAnderson and they'd make me get a ride home. That process essentially entailed me pointing in the other direction and scampering to my car when their heads were turned.
  6. If I was Israel, I’d bomb the shit out of Iran.
  7. That fat Mario guy is not going to be able to copy/paste this type of information from prior years' spring reports.
  8. You don't like that warm, alien feeling when the contrast is injected? I think it's cool. But I'm also allergic to it so I'm half asleep on benadryl.
  9. Nah, that dude was was lit on something, had been facetiming with one of his friends while fucked up before leaving and googling weird shit about how long you can last outside. Cops think he wandered off, died and was eaten by pigs.
  10. Shaggy dun got old. The drunk thread ain’t what it used to be. More like corn bread and ice tea these days.
  11. Yeah, he moved the goalposts from fighting cancer to cancer risk. Next we'll be talking about other stupid fake miracle cures that get people killed, like alkaline diet and castor beans.
  12. How high we talking about here with these numbers?
  13. I've been through the ringer at MDAnderson for stage 3 colorectal cancer. My oncologist was a self-admitted stats freak. He printed and gave me studies on treatment options for the exact positions I was in, both before treatment and during treatment as my cancer landscape changed. He told me there was no evidence that sugar feeds cancer cells differently from other cells and no evidence you can starve cancer by cutting carbs.
  14. I have it on good authority you get the same treatment for stage 3 colon as well. And the docs take one look at colon cancer in a scope before surgery and go, "yup, that's probably cancer." So probably not colorectal.
  15. Not a fan of due process? Maybe Brazil would fit you better.
  16. I think I'm starting to come around on this theory of everything.
  17. Pffffttt, Thursdays are for half marathons early in the morning.
  18. I quit drinking and lost about 50 pounds. I knew I would lose some weight but I went from fat to almost high school.
  19. I’m sending a prayer to the little league gods that we get knocked down a bracket today. We need to drop six spots to get in silver, get a bye and play close by at 11 or 1:00. If we don’t, it’s a 40 mile drive and early game. And per usual we’ll find out probably around 10-10:30 tonight.
  20. Elon's free speech machine banned me for "harassment" for reminding MTG that she might not want to be lecturing women on Christian values seeing how she was fucking her trainer while married.
  21. Scanxiety sucks ass and there ain't nothing you can do about it unless you want to pop xanax like candy. But it's a hell of a day when you get a good report - in my case the glory words were "no evidence of metastatic disease." Good luck!
  22. An ileostomy should give her motivation, even for a teenager. I've had one* and was extremely motivated to get rid of it. Hope she does well. * ileo and teenager
  23. Well congrats, nothing like seeing your long lost buddy, the number one, leading off on the scale.
