  1. I go through phases with alcohol. I would never have more than 1-2 drinks a night but it just becomes a habit and I really don’t feel great the next day. I’ve always been fortunate I can just stop when I want. I’ll drop 10 pounds within a month or two of stopping which is cool. Going on 5 months now with no alcohol. Almost gave in this weekend but I might test myself and go a full year.

    What's everyone's favorite brand of hotdog? Imma go with Nathan's even though they are kinda skinny. They have a phenomenal taste to them with a solid snap.

    Berks Grill franks are my favorite when cooking out. They cook better, like the skin doesn’t burn as easy. Wife thinks they taste a little salty but I think they are perfect.

    My older brother was an avid dirt bike rider and was in a SEVERE accident where he almost lost his life. He never rode again after that because he didn't want to die as a father of two.

     

    After the kids first accident the parents should have ended his riding days there. So I say the parents are 

     

     

    I feel the same.  And if any of you want an update, yesterday the kids Fasciotomy went well. With a nice thumbs up photo…

    “Fasciotomy or fasciectomy is a surgical procedure where the fascia is cut to relieve tension or pressure in order to treat the resulting loss of circulation to an area of tissue or muscle. Fasciotomy is a limb-saving procedure when used to treat acute compartment syndrome.” :s

    if I had a son I wouldn't let them play football, and by comparison football doesn't seem as dangerous as this. Dunno what else to say about this 

    My son played football for one season when he was 8. One kid on his team ended up with a knee injury. They played against another team where a kid ended up with a broken leg. Fuuuuck that.

  5. This may be more of a rant.  How do you all feel about kids and extreme sports? We are friends with a family on Facebook, my son is good friends with their son from school. Kid is really into dirt bikes and motocross and has been for a few years now. He’s 11 or 12 years old.   Maybe 2 years ago the kid broke his leg.  That healed up and he got back at it. About a week ago they made a big post.  Kid was practicing “the triple” (which googling seems to be a pretty big jump). It went bad and he ditched the bike 15ft up in the air and crashed to the ground. Choice quote from the parent: “I knew it was bad from the scream he let out”:s Kid broke his right wrist and snapped both legs like toothpicks. Broke the tibia and fibula in both legs.  Then days later an update that he’s being treated for compartment syndrome which also sounds bad.  But because we live in this social media world (I know I should stay off it) of course the family posts pictures of the ambulance ride, x-rays with all the screws, the kid laying in the hospital bed. “Not going to be weight bearing on the legs for 1-2 months”.  Ughh… I can’t help but feel gross about the situation. Like sick to my stomach seeing this kid like that and them saying “he just wants to get better to ride again”.  Maybe hang that shit up for now and find a different hobby. Since it sounded like if he landed any other way he could be paralyzed or dead. Are people letting their kids do too much these days? Just stay inside and play some Xbox or something.

    There's "I have enough money that I'm not really worried about rent/mortgage" money, which is mostly where I live, then there's "I'm going to drop $10k on a party for my friends and family" money.

     

    And then there's "I'm going to buy a smaller yacht to ferry myself to my bigger yacht" money.

    Somewhere online recently I saw people discussing child care costs. One person in Seattle said they pay over $5,000 a month for all of their kids daycare. I can’t imagine what kind of money you’re pulling in to afford over $60k a year JUST for daycare. Maybe for that person a $10k party is a drop in the bucket.

    It's out at home now. Definitely has the new sound mix. I'm probably going to watch this at least once a day for the foreseeable future.

    I watched the first 30 min with my son tonight and like everything I watch digitally on Amazon, I have to crank the volume way up to hear voices, and way down for the action. Nothing new there though.

    I think Pizza Hut, Cici's, and Digiorno are legit bad pizza, even a PH pan pizza. I will turn down pizza if it's one of those 3.

    For me Digiorno is the worst. The dough is too heavy and dense.  Feel like they hit the scene big in the 90’s. If that dough is what made them popular, that’s just sad.

  9. Went to the dr for my knee, they drained a sample out for testing, gave me a shot, he recommended blood work for a bunch of stuff. Just found out I’m positive for Lyme disease now:rolleyes:. Starting antibiotics today.

  10. Feels weird getting older and realizing big things you were taught in school were false and people somewhere knew all along.  You have the atomic bombs here, and the Christopher Columbus stuff. I remember all the times looking at the food pyramid and seeing all of those wonderful servings of carbs I should eat. Feels strange.
