The best thing about my med school experience was eye opening about the world. People in the 3rd world country were happy with nothing (by US standards). The USA is the greatest country in the world. It took me living outside of it to realize how lucky we are.

We were told that to be considered equal to the US med students that we would have to be twice as good. I embraced that challenge and it taught me how to truly study. Hard work, work ethic and not giving up when things are tough can only be self taught.

all day. never forget talking to a Haitian refugee (living in Dominican was better than his Country). Said week before police and drug runners got into a gun fight right outside resort. Said he had tried for decades to enter US. Said at our very worst its still better than DR.

The older you get, the more pain you feel. And honestly, it's not the physical pain that hurts the worst. It's all the scars on your heart from everyone you've lost, that you miss so much, that you just can't seem to let go of. Being a Christian, I believe I'll see them again, but even believing that it doesn't make that loss any easier. That hole in your life is always there, no matter what. You figure out a way to keep living because you have to, but those are the wounds that run the deepest, the ones that bite your soul and make you really want to howl.

It can be tough. It is said that the good Lord never gives you something you can't handle even though it seems at times the onus is to great. I like to think fond memories are Gods anesthetic for pain in the heart and the ability to forget does the same for our souls. We have all lost so much in our lives and especially in the most recent past. All we can do is hope, pray and put our heads down and keep walking forward.......it is what all that have gone expect of us.

This is so true. In the last 3 years I've lost
-my uncle that became like a father to me when my dad left
-a man I modeled my life after in the church I went to
-my father-in-law 18 months ago that told me I was his son because he didn't have one
-my dad 3 months ago and I didn't get to go to his funeral overseas because of COVID
-my youngest brother 1 month ago to suicide. This one hurts the most.

My pastor preached 2 weeks ago about "God being big enough to handle anything we are going through even anger at Him" Honestly that is where I had been up until that point. The day the suicide happened I saw a friend at the bank and told her that I had finally started getting out of my depression state because I had dealing with my brother the whole previous year trying suicide 3 other times and we had stopped him.

To deal now I am running, it helps me to just focus 30-minutes to and hour on just putting one foot in front of the other. I plan to run the music city half marathon. I've never ran more than 4 miles at one time but I need to do it for me and my family.

Just heard AP make a hypothetical with Auburn. Talking about the recruiting and transfer fiasco he mentioned what happens with Auburn's kids. "Will they get to jump ship if Auburn fires Harsin? What happens when Auburn goes and hires Kiffin to replace him?"

The possibility of Kiffin at Auburn... How do we feel bout that?

Your statements are true. Of course we don’t know the whole story. 🤷‍♂️

I know that Mark Lye, by every account I have ever heard before this, is a really nice man that doesn't deserve this, and the story is clear, there is no other side justification..I read the complete transcript of the incident and I stand by what I said..this 🦬💩 is f'n ridiculous.

If they weren't pleased with his ratings performance, then they should have rightly terminated him for that reason and that reason alone.

Apparently its illegal in Germany to discuss Nazism.

Germans ive spoken with are super tight lipped about the War. Understandeably so.

Education is a reminder. its necessary.

In Thailand you can be imprisoned for speaking badly of the King. As a result, people only sing his praises in conversations. Anything less can get you prison, and this is not an ancient law that is no longer in practice. People “disappear” all the time

Did Mark Lye do that? I thought that it was someone else…I don’t actually listen to any of them anymore due to all the politics and social issues spouted by “sports” networks.

No..he was being sarcastic.

It's evidently ok to call a large group of people "trailer park trash" but not to say that womens basketball sucks.
