    Getting old sucks

    That does suck. In my case I could (and did) play golf during my rehab. Doctor said it wasn’t hurting it further but I was basically picking the scab. But tennis was a no go. Just a few hits—especially a back hand (one handed, of course) and the pain was pretty much unbearable. I also did months of PT, cortisone shots, shock therapy, and the Graston treatment (basically deep tissue/bone/tendon massage with a dull knife—hurt like hell). Also did hot water soaks every day and I believe it helped. I tried icing it and never saw an improvement.

    Getting old sucks

    Tennis elbow can take a couple years to heal. It will eventually. I had it in my mid 50’s and it took about 22 months or so before I could hit a tennis ball. My pain was in the 6-7/10 range.
  3. Hope you are right. I recall the discussion on this board in late July 2021 when it all went down that the move to the SEC would happen at least by 2023 and even perhaps by 2022. Either the Big 12 would dissolve, or we'd pay the $$$. With hindsight, some of those posts are hilarious.
  4. Are cops more worried about getting beat up and their weapon stolen than getting shot as they bend down to grab the driver’s papers and DL?
  5. Yes. My father told me to get out of the car and then do exactly what the cop says. His logic was that the cop can see that you don’t have a weapon in your hand. But if you stay in your car he doesn’t know if you have a weapon. I’m white if it matters to anyone.
  6. I assume they can get a DNA test from him now that he’s in custody. They won’t rely on a relative’s DNA at trial.
  7. Sorry if it’s been covered ad nauseam, but did Baldwin have any reason to believe there was a live round in the weapon? I have not read the statute but can’t he assume that any gun on the set would not be loaded with a live round? He’s still a dumb ass though.
  8. My junior year (1978) in HS the school district brought in drug-sniffing dogs to patrol the parking lot. Well, the dogs alerted on my car. This was probably several months after I quit smoking dope. I might have smoked dope in the car a handful of times so I feared the worse. They found a single beer bottle cap. The asshole dog handlers insisted there was drugs in the car but they just couldn't find it. Those fuckers took me out of class in front of my friends and essentially announced that the dogs had found drugs in my car. I'm still pissed about this.
  9. As a recovering labor/employment lawyer (employer side, early 90's) this is a good analysis--especially his commerce clause discussion. As Twicehorn says, the battle now usually is fought over trade secrets, IP, and the employer's property. In the old days, for example, a low-level salesperson would just take their rolodex/business cards from the former employer to make it easier to maintain their customer contacts at their new employer. That stuff actually belongs to their old employer and a judge will order the employee to return what doesn't belong to them. They can't steal their former employer's stuff. Now, with everything electronic it complicates matters (or does it?), but the concept still holds. To address some of the more recent posts about sandwich "artists", it's really hard to justify a noncompete in that and similar employment scenarios.
  10. Really? Not unbelievable at all.
  11. We also had the one with the two large blood shot eyes.
  12. We did the same. Never a scratch. Back then it was called good clean fun.

    Tennis Thread

    Looks good. Does he have a foot fault issue? He’s way behind the line.
  14. Agreed. But in the case I mentioned there was no history.
  15. Yep. That's why I said perhaps it could have been prevented. But in the case I mentioned, despite what the "experts" in this thread think, there was no warning.
  16. Tragic story all around. Could it have been prevented? Perhaps. Is it happening more now than ever before? I'm not sure. In the 70's a very close family friend's brother shot and killed his three kids, his wife and then himself in Sharpstown. In that case there was no recorded history of abuse or unusual behavior. Sometimes, shit does happen.
  17. I’ve been on 10 mg Crestor for many years. No side effects at all. Lipids and overall cholesterol numbers are pretty much perfect.
  18. Sheets are too small for an authentic strudel. You have to pull the dough to make a rectangle 3 feet by 4 feet and then roll it up like a jelly roll. Maybe you could try to put a bunch of sheets together and hope you can roll them up. Or do a bunch of individual strudels. But the homemade dough is easy enough.
  19. Thanks to my big stick, 78 from the old man’s tees yesterday. That was with a skulled 35 yard approach on a par 5 that led to a double bogey and three bad 3 putts. Two birdies though. Equipment and balls are so good that at 60 I’m hitting the ball as far, if not farther, as I ever have.
  20. I don’t care if anyone uses those spots. Having more than one or two is dumb anyway. I prefer a longer walk, but I’m not a fattie.
  21. My theory is that those guys believe that any sex is better than no sex. The guys that fuck fat women have limited options. Duh, if they could they would be with attractive women. So they must boost the attractiveness of fat chicks to salvage a little self esteem. In my day, if you fucked a fat chick you were given horrible grief.
  22. I’ll never understand that some guys think that fat women are attractive. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
  23. Unreal. Sorry, or maybe not, but Darwin is real. We don’t want people that stupid to be procreating.
