Is this relating to how Mac Jones sounds like he was dropped on his head as a baby & sounds like Spicoli from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”?

With those 🔥🍗, any polyps will be cauterized on the way through.

Godspeed for recovery, Mazie 💛🐾! The Berneses, being a large breed, have a shorter lifespan. Best friend’s ex-gf had a string of them and the oldest got to ~8 1/2. But those were males weighing 120-130 — really big boys. Her last, Hunter-Boo, was a lovable oaf who had one incident of knocking down a neighbor kid & grazing with a claw while playing ball and immediately knowing & having that look on his face of ‘oops I just messed up 🥺’

He seemed to just implode at critical times, and rather than focusing on whether he thought his coach/family box was cheering loudly enough for him, MAYbe he should have gotten prepared on getting just one more point when he had *several* situations of being up 40-0 on Djokovich and then losing. Another case of multi-million dollar talent, and a 10 cent head.

That site is about to get a marked increase in traffic. Maybe not as much as the Pixyland Fairy guy, but… certainly a higher Alexa number.

Meh. But they do have a pretty stiff luxury tax with some $ and signing rules penalties. And still, a team even like the Red Sox have a hard time affording to keep their home-grown guys who became stars — Mookie Betts (altho… no matter what he says to the contrary, just wanted out of Boston), and now possibly Xander Boegarts. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And teams like the Yankees and Dodgers can buy wins. What MLB really needs is a salary floor. Some teams are literally jokes with a $25-30M payroll as the owner makes off with $100M net from teevee money even before any gate/concessions/etc. and they only serve as farm teams for the 15 teams that actually put resources into trying to win games.

I get the sense that the owners are saving the second bye to introduce in conjunction with the 18th game, as a ‘favor’ / trade off to the players. My guess is it’ll be one preseason game, two teams get a second for the Hall of Fame game, and leave it up to teams to conduct joint practices. Then again, we saw what the lack of all but like 5 minutes of preseason vs Packers last season did for Josh as he seemed pretty rusty to start the season.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/49ers-george-kittle-advocates-for-two-bye-weeks-says-he-spends-a-couple-hundred-thousand-on-body-upkeep/amp/ Absolutely going to be a necessary addition, especially when the owners go to 18 regular season games. It’s needed even now with 17. Wonder what the “upkeep” costs are that aren’t covered by the team / insurance…. League year went into mid-February and the sky did not fall, interest did not decline, over-saturation was not a thing. Even during the Kelly years there used to be two bye weeks. Time to go back to that.

Again, with the news of using the leg, I stress trying the Cosequin joint health supplements. They help with pain, increase mobility, and reduce inflammation. My cousin's dog had the TPLO surgery and just a couple of weeks ago they had to go back in to remove the metal and screws because she was going after them. She's a small frame yellow lab and they were irritating her. Cousin said the vet reported that these are getting more common because dogs aren't being allowed to grow fully before they're spayed or neutered. Timeframe should be about 1 year, but many are doing it at 6 months, especially rescue places that have a mandatory s/n policy before they adopt pets to people. One cat rescue near me does s/n to 8 week old kittens! That's really not good for these animals' health.

My GSP had a knee issue about two years ago, iirc. He was off leash in the yard during winter and came back to me hobbling, not putting weight on his rear left. Thought it was a sprain / strain as it had happened many times before on ice / snow. It improved and he could put weight on it, but was still limping and it was clicking. Vet did X-ray and said it was likely a tear of some degree of the meniscus and there was a shadow that showed fluid build-up. We did a watchful wait and limited his activity (difficult for a pointer!) and walks limited to about 1/4 mile a day down from a usual 1 1/2. So it was a quite awhile of that. His knee kept clicking, sometimes with every step and I cringed at every one but he largely seemed unfazed by it. Started giving him Cosequin tablets on recommendation of cousin who raised Fidelco German shepherds that had leg issues… 2 a day for first month it said and one a day afterward. It was awhile and in like March of this year I noticed, hey, no more clicking, and he’s back to running around when the shin suits him, although at 12 1/2 he’s slowing down a bit. The Cosequin was literally the only thing we changed. I mean… I had a partial tear of my own left meniscus when I was a teen and they only ordered physical therapy and it sometimes still clicks and I have some stability issues with that leg. Maybe *I* should take the Cosequin too!

Based on the “unexpected” wording and what has been revealed — that she’s been recovering well in the last few days — I would hazard a guess at a heart issue or a slimmer possibly of a stroke. She’ll share *if* she wants to at a time of her choosing, but the main thing is that she’s getting the best of care and will hopefully be back to rights soon.

Being honest with people… by toxic-positivity-sidestepping the question.

I’ve done a daily multi for about 5 years now to pick up the slack of anything I might be getting in diet. I have been eating less meat and the last lab test a couple months ago showed lower iron so I started on that and it’s helped some very irritating leg cramping at night when trying to get to sleep. It surprised me to find that most multis don’t have iron. Who knew? … Also do fish oil with a D3, that some studies have said helps with autism symptomology. Ten years? I’m not a fan of doctors myself but you really ought to get the basics checked. At the very least do the blood work and routine physical once a year.

FAR more than the money, Mr. Depp has some fair amount of his reputation back and maybe he’s not completely blacklisted now.

Add obstruction of justice to whatever’s coming down the hill for all of them.

Maybe the Incan calendar thing wasn’t wrong. The world started ending in 2012 and we’re just living in this hellish aftermath / free-for-all.

Hmm. I’m not quite sure if this thread is just one non seqitour after another or if it is indeed about shaving utensils, but I can share that I bit the bullet this evening and ordered a Braun series 9 shaver on the Zon. ~$220 after a $120 discount. The old series 3 was simply not doing it anymore, even after getting a new shaving head for it. The white whiskers are coming in with verve and I read on reviews that the 9 does a very efficient job on those, with higher power [Tim Allen grunt here] and five blades. That’s the propaganda, we’ll see in a week or two what the real story is.

I went to high school with a gal who is now a fitness model and is still a good solid 9/10 at early 40s and got some attention some time ago for trick-shot videos of throwing footballs into basketball net from like 50 yards, and I think some golf things iirc.

Hell yeah. The article was kinda vague on what the interior space will be used for, but I imagine there’s going to be a large gambling devoted area similar to what the Pegulas et al have described for our new place. Gambling just seems to get butts in seats. I’ve never really understood the allure, an AP stats course hammered it into me that gambling isn’t a great use of money, nor have I ever really had enough money to just 🔥💰 / 💸.

Someone else replied the same, but the league has shown us that there are times a contract doesn’t mean anything. I don’t think Poyer is the type who would hold out of training camp or beyond, but he was one of the very few who didn’t show up for the voluntary mini, his wife seems to be in the extremes of high-maintenance, and given a new agent we don’t know exactly what his thoughts are. So it’s a little up in the air at this point. Just was saying that the possibility exists.

Depending on how disgruntled he gets… possibly Poyer. Would kinda hate to break up that safety pairing, but there’s Neal and Johnson behind him, yes?

Two stretches of three straight on the road? Geez, I hope not.

Wouldn’t be upset at one of the TEs we were looking at. I just don’t think we’ll be able to afford to pay Knox next off-season.

There are some sellers on eBay who make tackle twill numbers & NOB lettering, that are adhesive when ironed… but really have to be stitched for permanency. I did a Red Sox jersey from a blank with my own last name — because I can’t be traded or sign with another team — and it came out great. Sewing it all on as well as some extra stuff was $70 (I think I got gouged there but 🤷🏻‍♂️). If you know someone who can sew that makes it all the more economical and anyone halfway talented can make it look no different from factory finish. I got a crash course in sewing a few months ago from a neighbor, using my mum’s old and sturdy Singer sewing machine, to make a repair on an LLBean dog bed that had a wear hole in one spot. And screw anyone who says this is being “cheap” because it’s literally part of the three Rs ♻️. Fashion & textile waste is a sizable % of landfill. Make do and mend, as the old phrase went.
