Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[VolsDoc81TX]

What the hayull?! She needs to mind her own business. Shiii by time I was twelve had a full fledged lawn mowin' bidness.

Yup, I had a paper route that taught me a lot of responsibility. I had to collect the money for the monthly paper. Deal with people who would dodge me to get out of paying for the paper that they requested. Then complain to the paper when I just stood on their front porch rining their doorbell once a minute until they answered the door to pay me for the last 3 months that they had stiffed me for their paper. The paper would not let me withhold the paper delivery until they paid either. But I still had to pay the paper fee to the company. I had to pay for the plastic bags to keep their papers from getting wet. Taught me how to manage a checking account and my business expenses.

It was an educational experience that I still cherish. Taught me a work ethic that cannot be taught. Taught responsibility. I got up at 3:30AM every day from age 12 to 16. I worked two jobs from 15 1/2 to almost 17 when I finally found a job that would pay me more than my paper route and my second job combined. I was able to buy a 10 speed bike, a tent and camping gear, and my first car with the money that I saved. I bought my first car one month after my 16th birthday.

There were some very hard lessons in there, but also the only way oI would have been able to get a car. Single parent household. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

It would be tough as hell, but I'd be good with every SEC team having a 9-game conference schedule plus games against an ACC opponent, a Big 10 opponent, and a Big 12 opponent. No more FCS teams.

Do the Yankees play games against Double A Scranton?

And everyone knows if you play the Cocks too much you go blind.

Done deal for a November catch weight fight apparently

Dang yeah I seen where it was going to be an exhibition match after I sent that. What a clown show.

Guess Tank is planning his exit, seems his hands are turning brittle like Floyd’s. Roach gave him all he could handle, honestly shouldn’t have been a draw.

Not speaking to OP's exact situation, but is it healthier shoving it down deep, never talking about it, finding yourself constantly angry for no reason, then dying an early death of stress and heart attack...

That's the social engineering part. Telling men they can't be human. Gotta "man up" (because we're so special) and never show emotions (unless it's anger, fighting, screaming, yelling, all byproducts of keeping things buried deep). Men are just as emotional as women, if not more. But it's only socially accepted if it's some destructive, not therapeutic, outburst of emotion.

I get not wanting everyone to be eeyore. Totally. Goes for both sexes. But we men aren't special, we're just human. Folks should embrace their humanity, find real therapeutic solutions to their inner demons, and maybe they'd be less outrageous and abusive towards others. We can embrace our own humanity and show empathy for others in the meantime. It's not that wild a concept.

The Silmarrillion is actually my favorite book...I love those stories...so brutally dark and sad, yet they also manage to beautifully illuminating and uplifting.

I think those stories are Tolkiens greatest work.

Very tragic stories some of those are. But yes I think they are on the same level as LotR even if they are much harder to read. There’s truly nothing like reading those stories, then the Hobbit, then the LotR all in one go. Makes you feel like you’re apart of the world you’re reading about.

You may be blaming the doctors for an insurance issue. Does your insurance plan cover ApoE genotyping?

10-15 years ago a swab of the cheek sent for genetic testing could tell us white narcotic analgesic would work best for you, which one could give you issues and which ones were unlikely to work. Could obtain the same data for anti-depressants.

Imagine the benefits of that simple test. Insurances quit paying for it after about 6 months. I still offer it to patients, but I have not had a single patient who paid out of pocket due to the cost.

I read a lot of your posts and physicians are vilified frequently. Maybe you pick really bad doctors or maybe you are vilifying the wrong group. I have battled insurance companies for over 30 years now. I’m about over it. Especially when the patient yells at me and my staff for the issues caused by their own damn insurance. Did I advise your boss or you on which insurance policy to pick? No! Did I pick your medicare advantage plan for you? No!
Let the buyer beware.

Insurance companies are the absolute worst. Had a cousin that got a prescription for a testosterone switched insurance companies and when he bought it the price dropped from $250/month to $30/month. I have heard from pharmacy techs that because of their contract with the insurance companies they can't tell customers which way is the cheapest. It is diabolical.

Eh. I can accept WD-40, but any real engineer has epoxy somewhere on the right side. Duct tape is what the less sophisticated resort to, although it does have uses.

Also used: soldering iron, impact drill, and air nailer.

My neighbor's 13 year old boy asked me if I have any work for him to make a dollar. He wants to buy a ps5 or whatever the new game system is. I told him I'd give him $250 to pressure wash my decks and privacy fence.

He worked for about 2 or 3 hours when a lady I've never seen before pulls in. She jumped out crying that I have "a 10 year old working out in the summer heat". . . saying that there are businesses that do this type of work and kids shouldn't be doing it. I told her not to worry about it, mind her own business and get the he** out of here. I fully expect her husband to be here any minute crying about how I talked to her. . .

I remember doing this type of work when I was 13. What the heck is wrong with people these days?

Should have told her that Tony Iommi lost the tips of his fingers working in a factory at 17 and he turned out ok!!
Also, I will reiterate that we played with this sh*t as children:
