    Getting old sucks

    You’re not alone in the broader sense. Older men have a greater sense of isolation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2024/09/28/men-loneliness-friendship-depression/ Some decent suggestions in that article. Explore your faithβ€”a significant community can be found at church if you’re the church-going type or consider it. If not, volunteer somewhere that you will go regularly, and see the same people every time. Look for an affinity organizationβ€”hobby-based, activity-based, etc. The key is to regularly see the same people, to develop a sense of connectedness and community.
  2. Looks like they’re just cleaning up from a typical dirty 6th night of debauchery and fighting.

They should have used β€œiron” or β€œhat” or something similar.
  4. Morning coffee and a quiet peaceful lake. β€˜Murica! And yes, the leaves and acorns have started to fall. Part of the afternoon’s list is taking care of that for the day.
  5. Seriously. High n Dry was a really good album start to finish.
  6. They can’t tell us because HIPAA, but …
  7. We had good friends that would give their toddlers and elementary school kids Benadryl before road trips, telling them that it was time to take their vitamins. We would never have done that, mind you, but you know how friends can be …
  8. We have it on good authority that nurses are very well compensated in Greenspoint. Now we know why.
  9. I really, really want to neg you for the β€œuntracked” nonsense. But Graham’s trolling is so bad it’s good.

    My lower back is the worst. Freezes up every 1-3 months, and takes a week or two to calm down. Nothing in particular causes it to freeze up, just sitting/standing/bending over, etc. The muscles just freeze up and hurt like hell, then twinge every time I sit or stand or roll over in bed for a week. I’ve been doing various stretches/pilates/core strengthening for over a year, religiously, and go to the chiropractor every time it freezes up. I still have this damn issue. And it sucks. I can’t do any regular work around or outside the house.
  11. Bump for this weekend’s games. Also, this has probably been covered up thread, but <insert aintnobodygottimeforthat.gif>: Instead of a specific date for the scoreboard, have you thought about doing β€œWeek 4,” etc. Usually I want to see how everyone in a conference is doing in a particular week, and if X team played on Thursday, Friday, etc., it doesn’t show up.
  12. Dude, β€œvagrant” is not the preferred nomenclature. β€œUnhoused person,” please.
  13. Oh, goody. The federal government will definitely fix everything that’s wrong with CFB. What could go wrong?!?

  15. He’s just mailing it in at this point. He’s like the 25-year middle manager who realizes he’s never going to make VP, has maxed out in comp, sees all the corporate dysfunction, knows that nothing he does makes a difference to the company or the greater good, and doesn’t like anyone he works with. Sure, he’ll show up 9ish to 4ish, and make the mandatory meetings, fill out his weekly reports, but he’s done, and everyone knows that.
  16. That would be ok if you weren’t 40 at the time …
  17. You can’t prove that. Although β€œWind of Change” is a terrible song, so I could believe the CIA wrote it. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/wind-of-change-cia-propaganda-cold-war-podcast-1027873/
  18. Don’t be calling Scorpions overrated, you heathen. Great for their genre in their day, largely overlooked these days when it comes to 80s music.
  19. Same as above. I'm sure it's because one day the Aggie crew leaders forgot their saws, so they chopped the trees down like good ol' coonass redass Aggies. The next day the crew leaders brought the saws, but because the new turdition was born the day before, they had to keep chopping with an axe. What's even more ridiculous is that they use saws anyway to square off the ends before they stack their pile-o-death (see nice clean cut log edges in all the images below). So it's all for show and turdition.
