Knee, meet needle. The orthopedic doc was like “now which knee are we treating?” Ah, both? At this point it’s me versus my meniscuses. Menisci?

Guided trip? What crossings? I’ve had many of those days, just perfect. I’m in need of a guide recommendation because Scott Graham moved back to NC.

It’s obvious you’re getting to some level of dietary ketosis. Have you noticed a metallic flavor in your saliva, or has your spouse made any comments about your breath? I remember when I lost my weight I’d be laying in bed just admiring my hips. I know that’s oversharing but when the love handles melt away you notice things. Not to make this a keto thread, but if you do ever feel blah you may want to consider adding some electrolytes. Once you get past the “OMG potassium” taste it’s not a bad idea to add some fake salt/nu salt to that Gatorade zero mix and maybe some magnesium maleate supplements. Washed down with pickle juice, of course.

Its not exactly linear so beware of that mindset. Regarding post 219. I wonder if the deceased deviated from the plan? I’ve got a good friend who ended up in ICU for 6 weeks after the surgery as well.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Lol that drain. Wow.

Come on Scottie sink that putt and force overtime Yeah!!!

Plot twist - I continued east.

AA late last night, BPT, gear down, flaring for landing, “yeah it’s foggy, we can’t see the runway, we’re going back to DFW.” Cancelled. Which is somehow why I’m sitting in the golden nugget in Lake Charles right now, eating a steak on house money.

Get your platelets checked. I need surgeries on both knees. Walked all around Austin CC at the Dell yesterday without issue and then tweaked my knee trying to slide into a window seat on a plane.

He had a mother daughter threesome. Or he and his son banged a mother daughter combo. Reminds me of the old joke about the girl who bangs the guy and after he’s done she asks “what will we name our child?” And he pulls off the rubber, ties the top in a knot, and replies “if he can get out of that, we will name him Houdini”

Spieth and Lowry might be interesting. That’s the thing I don’t understand. Why start early if that’s when the bad weather will happen.

PSA: they’re starting 2 hours early tomorrow. Tee times starting at 8 am.

AG jeans/chinos has a cut called “Tellis” available for flat assed middle aged men. Also Tommy Bahama Boracay chinos and shorts. And the M7 cut from Ariat when boots are involved. For years I’ve been tempted to start a pants for flat asses thread. I have actually walked into the men’s department at Nordstrom and said “look at my ass. Fix me.” Alternate thread title would be “The pancreas is a fickle bitch”

Wu, throw your scale away for 2 weeks. I’m serious. Calories in/calories out is BULLSHIT of the highest order because it neglects hormonal changes. Calories in/out bro is literally a mouthbreathing okie humming boomer soooner and eating a bag of dicks. Hell, even zero cal sweeteners can throw your insulin levels into confusion. Pretty soon your body chemistry will change and realize that it’s ok to shed weight, that you’re not in desert island super starvation mode. But it just takes time. Possibly up to 45-60 days. Speaking from experience here. Way too many other biochemical variables. And you’re obsessing. Eat your plan and have faith. IT WILL HAPPEN and you’ll laugh your ass off and tell me I was right. I’ve lost more weight while NOT exercising.

Not to be a bitch, but is that admirals club in AUS near gate 22 the only one? Geez.

Escape? My disease is like being the play caller on a football team that punts on 1st down. Fuck everything and run. But really it’s forgetting everything is alright. Any good meetings up in the round rock area? I’ll probably go to Northland tomorrow or Thursday night if anyone wants to grab a bite. I’m in town entertaining clients but only for lunch and the golf tournament.

I think I’ll do the shuttle, mainly because I can expense it and I’m really worried about my meniscus.

Indeed. Huge density of those signs on lawns in West U in Houston too.

Can you just show up, pay, and park or do you have to buy a ticket in advance for the shuttle? I just emailed my corporate overlords, maybe they have some extras. I just figured out if I play my cards right, I can have this gig for every single PGA tour event plus the Masters. I’m getting there early but will be leaving early enough to catch the 7pm AA flight to DFW.

Also, is it advisable to Uber? Can they drop off close?

I’ll be there Friday. I just got tapped to host a very large client at our hospitality suite, hoping he is a golf geek because I’d rather discuss that than enterprise software.

It took a concerted effort to play AA zoom tourist to make meetings during Covid. I was in a few international groups for a while (the Aussies are RAW, with respect to language and recovery) but eventually I would hypothetically pretend I was moving to a neighborhood in Chicago or NYC and find a strong AA group then consistently attend their meetings. Especially when I was suffering from Covid. I would make a few zoom meetings daily just to stay connected. No substitute for the real thing, though. I told my story up at a group in east Texas last night and it was wonderful. It might have been awful and discombobulating for them, but it gave me a chance to speak honestly about my disease. If you have been sober for a reasonable period, there is nothing so therapeutic as telling what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now. Went to my usual Saturday morning meeting today at the the most “urban and diverse” meeting in town and then had lunch with a sponsee and some friends. The treatment center girls were there, talking about how it was their Nth time in rehab and whether or not they were actually alcoholic or not and I just quietly thought to myself that the greatest event in my life was almost dying drunk. So glad it’s settled science, for me personally. Onward and upward.

When I bought my truck, I signed a page that effectively said if I left the dealership sticker on then I would get free car washes for life. There was an RFID tag on the windshield that got me into their on premise car wash. The consequence for removing their sticker was a limit on free car washes to a total of 20. First thing I did was scrape off the decal from the back window, and the free car washes continued for 4 years until I eventually had the windshield replaced which removed the RFID. We both knew they had no cost effective way to limit the quantity.

He’s got video of McCarthy sucking his dick while getting pissed on by a Russian whore?
