  1. My 4 year old picked it. Biggest number in the race. 21.
  2. It seems these two guys are just saying the same things as the two crazies two years ago that lost in much more subtle ways. Good strategy. Maybe I’m wrong. That said, not thrilled with a >20 year incumbent on a school board no matter how well meaning.
  3. Spoiler tagged for now....
  4. This show is batshit insane. I was a little skeptical mid season, but it kinda doesn’t give a fuck which I respect.

    Biggest game to date on Sunday, right? Three points here would be absolutely massive given the distance it creates from LA Galaxy. LAFC have Philly tomorrow, which probably results in them scoring a bench goal post 75th minute to win, but should be a tough game for them, too,
  6. That wasn’t the finale was it? Weird place to end. I probably won’t watch season 2 if that was it.

    Come on you Loons! Or something like that. Next week is huge. Let’s keep it up!
  8. Poot, too. Enjoyed it. It was definitely the most Wire-like drama Simon has done (obv - Baltimore cops). But I mean from perspective of quasi-doc feel, like you are in the room of a real conversation between commissioner and the lead woman from the advocacy group, the background noises in the street during those scenes, etc. Was definitely hitting a nostalgic itch. Look forward to how it's executed from here on out...
  9. No worries at all. Thanks. The Dr. team we are working with is kicking around Mayo Clinic, which we'll do if they can make the case. Honestly, things seem to be getting a bit better outside the constant night sweats that are far beyond ordinary course hormonal/menopausal. But seems to be one thing or another every couple of weeks so just waiting for the next thing....
  10. Austin. Second opinion on which part, though? It seems to be many different opinions triangulating on one auto-immune issue or another.
  11. Man.... reading through those ostensibly private messages you can better discern the crazies and true believers from the opportunists and grifters. Seem like there are more of former than latter and I'm not sure that's better or worse.
  12. Fucking Dynasty started in 1981. So many weird unnecessary mistakes and white lies. That said, I love it.

    I’ve spent the last two Sunday afternoons rooting futilely against LAFC to hopefully have us secure first place. This is fun.
  14. Not with this SCOTUS
  15. I appreciated the twist.
  16. Next step. Adding that specialist to the pile (neurologist, hematologist, rheumatoligst, gastro, etc.) Above was more of a vent. The House comparisons are real. It just takes 5-6 doctors and a few years, as opposed to House, some residents and 48 commercial interrupted minutes.
  17. Just found this thread. We've been dealing with trying to ID wife's autoimmune issues for last two years. I feel like I am in a multi-year episode of House with 5 different doctors that barely talk to each other and just send her back and forth. After our daughter was born in late 2013, about 6 months later she had acute pancreatic failure that severely limited her diet and she lost a ton of weight. She got through that and things seemed to be fine. Then about the time the pandemic started she started getting more and more GI issues and was eventually diagnosed formally with Celiac last year., We started getting a handle on that when her gall bladder freaked out last Thanksgiving and had to be removed. No stones but severely necrotic. Since then, it's been a battle to keep on weight and stay above 100 pounds (she's 5'3"), although we are starting to get there. She started getting IVIG infusions, but then had anotherr episode that sent her to the hospital where she was in severe pain and had a to of night sweats. So we temporarily stopped those. Blood tests show thyroid issues and liver issues. So maybe Hashimotos,, maybe autoimmune hepatitis. No one knows. But she sweats buckets every night and has regular joint pain. Plus she's a fucking anxious stress ball which doesn't help matters, but trying to solve for that in the near term is a losing battle. Doctors have come back and said restart IVIG infusions. Those fucking wipe her out for 2 days, but apparently benefits come after months. In any event, thyroid scan tomorrow and hopefully that will show something (or not). It's a fucking beating for her, though, not knowing and sweating through 3 sets of clothes every night.
  18. It’s David Lynch’s Black Mirror “episode”. It’s ripping off Black Mirror a bit better than Upload is, given Upload is, although I enjoy Upload.
  19. On that last point, I am almost certain that at beginning during Rockets game they cut to scoreboard showing Pacers. So, yeah, some details aren’t quite there.
  20. Assholery is really not the right way to frame it, really. True righteous and indignant anger can be a positive in a situation like this. Doesn't make you an asshole if you are dressing down an asshole. Ummmm..... so to speak.
  21. So you have to change tires at least once in a race? Explain what happened to Albon.
  22. Are you talking about the senator? Different dude that clearly had his wife severed to forget childbirth.
  23. I guess we aren't supposed to know exactly what happened in that last scene, but........
  24. Now we know why Milchick was taking pictures of only Helly all of the time. I'm not thrilled with the triple cliff hangers. But love the show.
