Of course it got down into the single digits last night so the system is all frozen so they are having to pump manually.

All of the married guys in here are familiar with having to pump manually.

My kids troll me regularly - "Hey dad, do you want to great song?", followed by Never Gonna Give You Up, or Money (worst Pink Floyd song EVAR).

Anyway, All I Want for Christmas is also on the list of songs I don't want to hear. So what does my daughter do?

She asks her piano for the sheet music to All I Want for Christmas, and will play it over and over aad over gain, and I can't stop her because I also want her to get better at piano.

 

Yeah, so that's what I have to deal with at home.

I have to clarify that I have family members who work in insurance, so I start with a distrust of podiatrist. 

I had a pain in my foot, like I was constantly stepping on a sharp rock. My regular doc referred my to a podiatrist. I'll admit I went in with a chip in my shoulder because I heard horror stories about how they add a ton of extra procedures to pad the bill. I had to wait almost 2 1/2 hours before I saw the doctor. I was going to leave but they kept moving to different rooms. promising he'll be right here.  First thing they did was take x-rays of both feet. When I said I only have pain in one, they said I have to do two because the Dr wants a base for future treatment. 

When I finally saw the doctor, he commented on some type of skin irritation that needed to be treated. He called his assistant and made of big production of her verifying it was present. 

He finally dug around and found a sub-callous that was causing the problem and removed it. Then he said I need to come back for custom inserts (which I know insurance will not cover). I felt like I was at a used car dealership trying to sell me pinstriping, undercoating and Scotchgard. I went in for one simple procedure and came out with 2 extra, unnecessary ones, plus one future expensive one. I'm not going back. Crap like this makes me very surly.

Podiatrists.  Like chiropractors, but with scalpels.

Gonna have to disagree with you on chiropractors.

I have a guy who works on my back and I fee like a new person every time I leave his clinic.

I went to see another guy who just focuses on the C1 to C5 vertebrae. I've been waking up with pain in my neck, right shoulder and elbow. Went in for an adjustment over the weekend, so I'm no longer in pain in the mornings.

Chiropractic treatment IMO is not quackery.

The score ticker under live sporting events is outdated and an eyesore. 
 

Everyone has access to scores on their phones. It takes up screen real estate and spoils scores of games you have saved to watch. 
 

It had it’s time but it is time to take it out to the barn and put it down

Especially because during CBB season the ticker doesn’t distinguish between MBB and WBB. Just scores.

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is the worst offender.

But how else would you even SEE the score between Division 6 powerhouses East Dingleberry State Automotive Repair College and St. Pelicopsius Divinity School?
