    The 1970's

    I hear more songs from the 70s in advertising and media than any other decade.  Do decades even have tangible 'sounds' anymore? 

    The first time I heard a Who song in an ad I probably cried- I couldn't believe the band that'd led me through the minefields of feckin brilliant rebellion, angst, underage *****, teenage despair and ultimately triumph, could sell their souls to an ad campaign.  It still disappoints me, and however numb we may get to all of it, and to all of these artists, it should disappoint you too.

    Question for all would be doctors, for my mother.

    Hello all, my poor mom has been in constant pain for going on nearly a year now.

     

    She has pain on her right & left sides. She has seen her regular doctor, she's been to the emergency room, and she's seen a specialist.

    Through it all, X-Rays, MRI's etc. The doctors can find NOTHING to diagnose.

     

    My mom is in her 70's and has type 2 diabetes, and I believe she has hypertension as well.

     

    My mom suspects that it's nerve pain, and absolutely nothing works to help her with her pain. She says it feels like there are thorns sticking in her sides.

     

    The doctors did prescribe a certain pain killer for her to take, but it is filled with numerous potential side effects, and my mom doesn't want to take them.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what this condition could be, if it sounds familiar to anyone?

    My mom cannot take ibuprofen either. 

    Feel free to comment with anything. I'm tired of seeing in my mom in constant pain and nobody who is willing to help her. Thank you!

    I've had to go through both of my parents dying now.  It is still brutal, and it's a mix of wanting to do everything you can for them, and also accepting the inevitability of life. 
     

    I have no idea what your mom is going through, but the one thing I learned with my Mom, and I wished I'd known a few weeks earlier, is to ask her doctors if there were any experimental treatments.  
     

    Probably totally different circumstances.  In my mother's case she had a brain lymphoma, which honestly could've (possibly) been treatable if they'd gotten her on Keytruda soon enough, but there were so many delays in starting treatment it was maddening.   Keytruda was an unapproved/experimental treatment at the time, but had I even known it was an option- I would've liked to have known it was a possible treatment. 
     

    That was my circumstance, and I may have lost my beautiful Mom a bit earlier due to just not knowing to ask about potential/experimental treatments.  It's not my fault, because we all die, but if I can be of any help, let me know.

    Somewhere in the early 90's I was doing riders for bands at a music festival.  Usually it was a case of a particular beer, a couple bottles of a particular tequila... stuff like that...

     

    My favorite rider ever was Arlo Guthrie.  I'd guess he was mid-50's at the time and wanted, ' A pint of genuine half and half.'  
     

    That was it.  
     

    I made sure to get him the finest pint of half-n-half I could possibly get my hands on.  )

    Help me make some sense of this decade   
     

    Most everything involved a fist-fight or trucker with CB's 

     

    Junkyard black men, white old-guys with certain chairs, 

     

    glam-rock, the gaddamn eagles, Blondie, REO Speedwagon

     

    MASH, Barnaby Jones, cocaine, pot, quaaludes, bell-bottoms, chest-hair and gold chains, Supertramp, Chico and the Man, The Rockford Files, 

     

    Camaros with 86 HP

     

    the oil crunch, gas lines, Billy Beer, the ayatollah khomeini

     

    The Clash. The Sex Pistols, The Jam.  Turtle-neck sweaters and platform shoes. 
     

    I was born in '71.  I was just an innocent kid.   

    So we're firing McD, right?

    Fire his ass.  I've seen enough.  
     

    I was basically sober at the end of the game, and wasn't even a bit surprised... and hardly even pissed off- that's why I know he needs to go- I should never feel that way at the end of a loss like this one.  
     

    Get him outta here.

    Why did clock stop after Allen’s amazing 3rd and 13 run

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    All this 'final 5 minutes of the half' time garbage was added so they could run more clock, cram in more commercials, and still keep a game around 3 hours.   
     

    Don't care if I 'should' know the rules, they suck and are artificial to the game.  What exactly is more important during those final 5 minutes than in all the prep work leading up to those 5 minutes?  Maybe we should just have 2 five minute halves, since that's when the really important stuff happens.

    My favorite song ever!  ... except for the other 283,000 favorite songs of mine... including at least 7 T.Rex songs.  
     

    This *****'s great- I mean how did we get so lucky to live on a planet and have musicians make this crazy amazing music for us to listen to.  
     

    You, Frank from Buffalo, are truly a blessed being tonight.  Go Bills!
