Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Sounds like it just makes dieting a little easier. I haven't noticed anything yet. I'm still trying to stick to a 2500ish calorie diet.
Right, you'll eat half a sandwich and feel full.

Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Went to the doc today. She said she's okay with my BP being a tad bit high since I'm losing weight and instead of changing up that med regimen she's putting me on ozempic to continue losing weight. Reevaluate in June. Feels like it's cheating but I'm hopeful it helps :lol: Let us know your experien...

Not even close. Not even close to close. Tastes vary, of course, but in my book, the most stylish president in my lifetime was Reagan. A Hollywood actor is going to know how to dress, and while Reagan's style was admittedly "old school," he wore impeccably tailored suits, French-cuff shirts, and hi...

Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Do you ever experience any swelling? I would get a little swollen from time to time and just chalk it up to "I ate too much salt" but maybe this was the cause I was getting it from meds I was on. Calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure so I had to wear those compression socks. Went back to...

This might be more of a sign of yinz being old than the lineup being bad. Side note: I had no idea Girl Talk was from Pittsburgh.
Girl Trouble is from Portland.

Edit: They were from WA state.

Proxy fighting is one thing. But the Israelis bombed a diplomatic embassy two weeks ago, in a very bizarre escalation that I believe is not (substantively or legally) any different than if they had attacked Iranian soil directly.
There are no good guys involved here.

A mixture of self-hatred, insecurity, and frustrated elitism. (Just a hunch.)
With my dad, my guess is he was teased about it.

I would agree with Mr Roo. Yinz is just colloquial-speak, whereas the random and unwanted insertion of 'aw' and 'ah' into words is more ingrained into the vernacular. When I embarked on my de-yinzer-fication in high school that was by far the hardest aspect to eliminate, and yet is the quickest to ...

Like, yeah, he’s trying to steal a car. That’s terrible and no one wants that. However, if someone is at the point they’ll steal a car, I’d say going further is very much something they’re willing to do. Call the police, report it stolen, go through insurance, and keep your life. This video IMO dem...

Respectable split vs the Phils and took a series against the oriels. Cocaine Mitch got 7 innings. I’ll most definitely take it.
Why do you call him that? I get that MM from KY was called that.

He deserves better.

Oh, I agree. I’m just saying, all Israel needs to gain some MAGA/GOP support is to have some moooslims attack them. Boom. Support.
The evangelicals support Israel (because of biblical prophecies) but the isolationist MAGA doesn't want to help them.
