  1. This is freaking awesome and the first comment had me laughing. I felt the same way, buddy. @mrstanbmw 8 months ago (edited) He said excuse me and then tore the house down with some of the nastiest guitar riffs you ever want to hear

  3. You could flip that for a tele.
  4. Your doctor should have ordered it. How long ago were you drawn? If it was under 5 or so days ago the blood is probably still viable for the doc to add it on at the lab.

  6. https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2025/01/03/us-surgeon-general-issues-new-advisory-link-alcohol-cancer-risk.html Get ready for warning labels like cigarettes, dip, cigars, etc. Alcohol Consumption is the Third Leading Preventable Cause of Cancer in the United States Washington, D.C. – Today, United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a new Surgeon General’s Advisory on Alcohol and Cancer Risk, outlining the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. Alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, after tobacco and obesity, increasing risk for at least seven types of cancer. While scientific evidence for this connection has been growing over the past four decades, less than half of Americans recognize it as a risk factor for cancer. The Surgeon General’s Advisory includes a series of recommendations to increase awareness to help minimize alcohol-related cancer cases and deaths, including updating the existing Surgeon General’s health warning label on alcohol-containing beverages. β€œAlcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States – greater than the 13,500 alcohol-associated traffic crash fatalities per year in the U.S. – yet the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk,” said U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. β€œThis Advisory lays out steps we can all take to increase awareness of alcohol’s cancer risk and minimize harm.” The direct link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk is well-established for at least seven types of cancer including cancers of the breast, colorectum, esophagus, liver, mouth (oral cavity), throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx), regardless of the type of alcohol (e.g., beer, wine, and spirits) that is consumed. For breast cancer specifically, 16.4% of total breast cancer cases are attributable to alcohol consumption. In the U.S., there are about 100,000 alcohol-related cancer cases and about 20,000 alcohol-related cancer deaths annually. Cancer risk increases as alcohol consumption increases. For certain cancers, like breast, mouth, and throat cancers, evidence shows that the risk of developing cancer may start to increase around one or fewer drinks per day. An individual's risk of developing cancer due to alcohol consumption is determined by a complex interaction of biological, environmental, social, and economic factors. In addition to calling for an update on the Surgeon General’s health warning label on alcohol-containing beverages to now include cancer risk, the Advisory makes further recommendations. It calls for a reassessment of the guideline limits for alcohol consumption to account for cancer risk, and it advises individuals to be aware of the relationship between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk when considering whether or how much to drink. Additionally, public health professionals and community groups should highlight alcohol consumption as a leading modifiable cancer risk factor and strengthen and expand education efforts to increase general awareness, and health care providers should inform patients in clinical settings about this link and promote the use of alcohol screening and treatment referrals as needed. Surgeon General’s Advisories are public statements that call the American people’s attention to a critical public health issue. Advisories are reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation’s immediate awareness and action. As the Nation’s Doctor, the 21st Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Murthy, has issued Surgeon General’s Advisories on The Mental Health and Well-Being of Parents, Firearm Violence, Loneliness and Isolation, Social Media and Youth Mental Health, Youth Mental Health, Health Worker Well-Being, and a Framework on Workplace Well-Being.

  7. Irene's is my favorite spot in NOLA. I haven't been in a while, so I've been lurking in here for some pics. I hope someone hooks me up soon. Thanks for bringing it up.
  8. Go for it. It’s mostly guitar nerd talk.
  9. Good grief, dude. You getting all up in arms about it is ridiculous. You are trying to make it the focus and you look silly. No one is defending terrorism, including the tweeting clergymen.
  10. Yes! Honesty is the key. It works both ways. If you miss a few workouts, get back in there pronto. Act like you never missed and get back to it. Don’t spend years beating yourself up about not being perfect. It doesn’t work. Just keep moving!
  11. I watched it. There’s a lot of Joe B in there.
  12. In. I track everything using Fitbit, but I don’t always find a perfect fit and fudge a bit by best guessing. I think my method needs tweaking….and by that I mean not trusting the app as much. I’m considering seeing a nutritionist for more scientific meal planning and supplementing. I do hard cardio at least 5 days a week, resistance training on at least 3 of those days. My goal is to increase cardio to 6 days/wk this year and reach my goal zone. There’s always a 10-15lb buffer around that due to the way my body works. I quit drinking altogether almost two years ago. I’m quite proud of that because I was a very heavy drinker and thought I might have a problem. I did. It was depression and anxiety. Know what helps with that other than therapy? Exercise and avoiding alcohol.

  15. You guys probably all know this, but I just learned about banner guitars and now I am obsessed. These are tributes to the 1942 models built by women.
