  1. I cut my own hair, so I check the top and sides with a mirror to make sure it's cut evenly. I saw it a couple of months ago and asked my wife to help me keep an eye on it. I then asked my family doctor about it at my next checkup a few weeks later. He referred me to a dermatologist who took the biopsy, then the dermatologist referred me to an ENT guy who did the cutting. I really think he did a good job, I just didn't have a frame of reference on what to expect. My dad has had several basal cell and melanoma tumors cut off of his head and face, so since I get about as much sun as he has, I figured I had better keep an eye out. I don't fuck with cancer. That shit (esophageal, not skin) took my mom when she was just 53.
  2. That was pretty funny. I enjoy malapropisms, and that was a good one, I thought.
  3. "Navel" news? Damn. Real story, though. When my wife was teaching a college course as a GA, she had a student who was utterly crushed that he had been passed over for an appointment to Annapolis and said he had been told that his essay on why he should get the appointment was the cause. Since it was an English writing class he asked her to review it and give him pointers, as he was going to try again. In the first sentence he said something like, "I should be appointed to a position in the 1991 class at the U. S. Navel Academy because..." When she pointed his mistake out to him, he barfed in her trashcan. Poor kid never got an appointment, but he did get a decent degree, so I guess it worked out for the best.
  4. I also think that Russia also thought that Biden would be too weak to lead a response and that Boris Johnson would not respond the way that he did. Looking at it from Putin's point of view: 1. Zelensky looked too weak to rally Ukraine, Biden too weak to lead an international response, and Europe too divided to assist Ukraine. 2. Russia had Europe by the short hairs energywise, with no apparent alternatives that were economically feasible. 3. He had many Ukrainians bought and acting on his direction. He thought that they would all stay bought. 4. He had a powerful fighting force in position to execute a decent invasion plan. 5. He had to go before any of these conditions changed. He failed because too many of his assumptions were based on hope, not fact.
  5. I got a melanoma removed from the top of my head yesterday. I caught it early, and the doctor said that it is only in the outer layer of skin, so it was removed in his office. I expected a relatively small excision and a couple of stitches. I have a six inch rift going across the top of my head with I don't know how many stitches and a headache like nobody's business today. I didn't sleep well last night because of the pain and worrying about pulling the bandage off, so I am a grumpy, sleepy mess right now. Still better than leaving a melanoma to go wild and kill me. Wear a hat and long sleeved shirt and use sunscreen, y'all. You don't want this.
  6. Check with a doctor. It could be rhabdomyolysis, which can cause kidney damage. I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV, and didn't stay at Holiday Inn. I did have a coworker get rhabdomyolysis and have a bit of a hard time with it.
  7. When I was in high school (Brenham), our helmets were green with white paw prints on either side. A&M Consolidated, a district foe, had maroon helmets with white paw prints on either side. A few years later both schools got letters from Clemson and stopped using them. I understand protecting marks, but no one is going to confuse a high school in Brenham or College Station, Texas with a university in South Carolina. Work something out, guys.
  8. That is very cool. Imagine tables like this with a great white, Nile crocodile, or alligator. Lots of possibilities.
  9. Fisher should be sending Winston 10% every year. He couldn't be fleecing aggy without Jameis' help.
  10. When we interview for a wastewater operator position we take the applicant for a tour of the plant at the end. We've only had two react like this, one as soon as they stepped out of the door into the plant. Some folks have tender sensibilities. Rotten shrimp shells are at a whole other level of disgusting, though.
  11. They could be used that way, or they could be programmed to hit in slightly different points at the same location. Remember the lines of holes in the bridge near Kherson? Or they could be programmed to hit in a pattern on and around a command post. Lots of possibilities.
  12. My understanding is that the range of HIMARS is much greater than the longest range tube artillery that Russia has, and that Russian rocket artillery with similar range to HIMARS is not nearly as accurate. At the range they are from the Russians, the HIMARS may be able to be out of the impact zone before the return fire is even halfway there. Having two launchers that close together says to me that Ukraine is pretty confident that no effective return fire would be coming.
  13. Ah, ok. I didn't remember it going down that way. Thanks.
  14. Isn't Putin supposed to be at his place in Sochi? I guess that he could have returned to Moscow, but surrounding Moscow without him in it doesn't make sense to me.
  15. Am I the only one who refuses to click on the "Click here if you want to see boobs" thread when they see that the last post was by @Your Mom? Just kills my desire to see boobs. Aw, who am I kidding? I click anyway. I always want to see boobs, and I know that it isn't really my mom.
  16. Not yet. Russia still holds most of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson oblasts, and all of Crimea. Absent a political decision to cease hostilities by Russia and completely leave all of Ukraine, there's lots of fighting left. Zelensky has maintained that this isn't over until all of Ukraine, including Crimea, is free of Russians, so if Russia offers to quit everywhere except Crimea, or the February 24th lines, even such a decision by Russia won't end the fighting.
  17. I wonder if Miami would be interested in protecting their mark over those shirts? It would be funny for aggyland Outfitters to lose more money than they made on them. It will also be interesting if any of the idoits choose to wear them to Miami next year.
  18. Not quite Yuri Gagarin quality launch, but a good effort.
  19. So, is Putler's Sochi mansion within ATACMS range of any of the freed territory? Russia went after Zelensky repeatedly; turnabout's fair play. Yes, I know that it would trigger a state of war for Russia, with all of the attendant uncertainty. Still, I'd love to see that bastard blown to hell.
  20. Reading the comments, apparently the Russians want to withdraw with their weapons intact. Fuck that. Unconditional surrender or keep getting your shit pushed. Your choice.
  21. What color is the sky in their world? That's just first class delusion.
