    yes. it amazes me that people will put that shit in their skin.

    wore shorts working at disney with it visible. violation of costuming rules. lulz. eff you disney!

    Same tat here from 7th grade. Upper thigh.  Now I have three similar tats for the prostate radiation.

    As mentioned by others, I suspect that much of the change has to do with nominal Christians no longer feeling social pressure to half-heartedly claim a faith, but as someone still affiliated with a church, the past year has been a bitter pill. I can understand people coming to different conclusions to political questions for which the best answer is really the least terrible answer, but I can't really wrap my mind around the depth of idolatry and self-worship that openly became mainstream Christian positions and at times seemed like official positions for some denominations.

    With COVID, Christians were handed a prime opportunity to act out the Gospel and lay down our lives for our communities in really simple ways, but at least in my Christian circle, way too many are acting out Left Behind fantasies instead. I'm not sure what post-COVID church life will look like for my family, but I suspect there will be some strained relationships within the church as everyone comes to terms with what has all happened. The problems have been brewing for a long time, but this past year has brought a lot into focus.

    Same for family and "friends".

     

  3. 1978 Correct.  We had just been married a month and bought a house in Waco. Ice split a nice live oak tree in the front yard  in half.  In-laws in Dallas were without power for two weeks.  If memory is worth a crap, Joe Montana and Notre Dame beat UH in the ice Cotton Bowl.

    already said it....it's not the quantity.  It's when and how the fouls were called.  there's no onus to call it 50-50.

    Refs repeatedly bailed out WVU on questionable calls.

     

    Whatever...

    The worst optic was the foul on the tt white tatoo man that unfortunately had an opponent draped all over him.

    Just turned 41 so I know I’m a spring chicken compared to most in this thread, but my body has fallen apart over the last 10 months:

    Hair loss progressed rapidly; I’ll never go to a Barber again.  What’s cool is the added ear and back hair.

    Blood pressure and cholesterol slightly elevated.  Was given 6 months to get it under control or otherwise will have to get on meds.

    Early last year ran into severe chronic heartburn, which has led to a daily double dose of Nexium I evidently will never be able to stop.  Tried getting off of it after making diet changes and it came roaring back.

    I wake up sore every day; neck, legs, back, something.  Even if I don’t do shit.

    Eyesight is going.  Have been better than 20/20 up until a few years ago.  Can’t read street signs and menus.  Dreading getting checked and wearing glasses.

    I cannot drink more than 4 drinks without being hungover the next day.

    This month I have developed a chronic sore throat, but not a normal post nasal drip deal, it’s further down below my Adam’s apple.  Not sure if it’s from the heartburn, some new allergy, or what.

    Lastly, this week I got a giant hemorrhoid that has rendered me crippled.  I got a small one 20 years ago but otherwise never had one.

    I am at my ideal weight.  Don’t smoke.  Run 150 miles/yr.  3/4 of my grandparents lived to 85+ so I have longevity in my genes.  And I have young kids (2,5) who keep me active and give me reason to keep going.  But I have zero energy and if this is how the next 40 years is gonna go...well, fuck that.

     

     

    Get that reflux/sore throat checked.  Can lead to esophageal cancer.
