  1. About a month ago, my wife found out she has breast cancer. We freaked out, of course. But after meeting with doctors, it turned out that she had the best case senario. It was confined to a milk duct and it was detected at the earliest possible time. My wife's family history with cancer is horrible, so she's been doing mammograms and MRIs on a strict schedule, and it was caught. It is what they call "Stage Zero". No chemo or radiation. However, if she chose to just do a lumpectomy, her chances of getting it again in the next 10 years would be 30%, because of her genetic make up. She had genetic testing done years ago. A double mastectomy put her at 1-3%. She opted for the double, I can't blame her. The surgery was monday and it was a great success. She goes back in a couple of weeks for the reconstruction. And yes, she's getting the upgrayyyyed. I've been keeping it together, for the most part. When it comes to big emotions, I'm a bottler. I'm sure it will get out one day, maybe soon. She always tries to get me to "let it out" but I fight it. Just instinct, I guess. I didn't have a bad childhood, where I wasn't allowed to be emotional. I don't know why I'm this way. She's already back to her old self, other than soreness. It's great to see.
  2. The Pistols Firing podcast said OSU told Golesh the offer and he kind of slow played it, wanted to see how the other jobs would shake out. OSU said "Good luck" and pivoted hard to Morris.
  3. A guy that covers ou for On3 (George Stoia) said on his postgame podcast that Morris to OSU was a done deal. Also said it should be announced in the next 10 days or so. I didn't personally listen to it (because fuck ou) but my friend told me.
  4. Golesh, Morris and ZRob have all interviewed, according to reports. Golesh and Morris are said to have knocked it out of the park, ZRob not so much.
  5. There are rumors that Knowles is looking to go back to Oklahoma State. His new, much younger wife is an OK native and wants to get back home.
  6. Then we're perfect for each other!
  7. I'm more than a decade older than her, so I ain't scurred. I'll even teach her a thing or two.
  8. I've never been to a women's game but for some reason, I'm tempted...
  9. Several years ago, I heard that zelle was used for illegal transactions, i.e. drugs. It got popular through word of mouth and of course, people can't keep a secret, so it came under harsh scrutiny. Now zelle is "frowned upon".
  10. AT should've won the Heisman. No disrespect but fuck Andre Ware. Randle El was ruined by Cam Cameron.
  11. My dad was born and raised in Bloomington. I have heard all of the lore and legends about the basketball team for 50 years. But football? Only "The Rose Bowl Team" was ever mentioned. No, they didn't say what year it was, as it only happened once. One time, while visiting family, I said "Hey, why not drive past the football stadium?", my uncle looked at me like I was retarded and said "Why would we go over there? Nothing to see". This little renaissance has been amazing, I almost don't believe it.
  12. Fuck, a carton was $20 when I smoked. So glad I quit.
  13. If you are too short, or too fat, or your windows don't roll down, GTFO of the drive-thru. I can't stand seeing stupid fucks trying to calculate how far they need to pull forward but still being able to stretch their arm back and reach the window. Go park your car and waddle inside.
  14. I thought this part might have been the part of the whole film. I told my buddy that it sucks to think that no one would ever speak about me in this way.

    Knightsbridge or South Kensington. Or just go up and down Oxford street and Regent street.
  16. 25 years ago, I moved and found a new dentist near my house. I have a very small chip on one of my front teeth, I don't even know how I got it. But the guy would mention it every fucking time I saw him. "Say, you wanna get that chip fixed? We can take care of it!!". After 2-3 visits with this guy, I ditched his ass. Just clean my teeth, FFS. Not one of the dentists I've seen since then have mentioned the chip.
  17. Cig ain't going anywhere. He already makes 9MM+ and his buyout is 56MM+. The university has a shit-ton of money, fucking Mark Cuban just donated money to athletics for the first time ever. He's coached 19 games and he's already a legend. Plus he's already 64. He owns Bloomington.
  18. My wife makes fun of me because I tell Siri "Thanks" after I have it set a timer or something. I told her when the machine takeover eventually happens, Siri will remember my kind heart and pleasant attitude.
  19. Man, the only thing this story was missing was "That's a lot of ice cream, Flip-Flop!". 10/10, would read again.

    We either eat at pubs or at Pret. We're usually just trying to eat quick before we head out to do something. Always somewhere cool to explore.
