Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

So, I've had a sinus infection over the week, got back from GWL. Was OK - but developed a coughing spell that is giving me anxiety about chest pains.
I'm glad my kids are adults now.

I'm confused. Someone accused Shyster of being racist?

I've never seen that from him.

Polls are good when they say what we want, bad when they don't... the election isn't today or next week or next month. None of this means anything at the moment. I do find a poll saying RFK is at 16% in PA odd. Anyone here know a single RFK Jr. voter? Most of us live in PA. I'm sure we collectively...

I am seeing that the tick tock owner just bought a stake in the spac that will make Trump’s stake worth billions.
Are you talking about Yass? The person who was able to get Trump to change his mind about banning ticktok. Did he invest 545mm in the spac?

Yep. When you make your whole site free (with ads everywhere) vs subscription, you gotta come up with crap to get clicks.
I've read his website a few times since it became free and he offers nothing. He comes across as blowhard.

Suddenly seem to be a lot of gambling scandals coming out in professional sports these days. Can't imagine why.
:thumb:

I think it was a huge mistake for pro sports to embrace gambling.

People destroy their financial, etc lives losing.

And this is why I can't take that position seriously. It's all predicated on your loathing of the US having any foreign alliances or interests, so you dump those misgivings at NATO's feet. I wouldn't say I loathe the US having foreign alliances or interests. It's not like I'm up at night just steam...

Hah, my FIL left me a boxed set of those.
I saw them in a Minute Mart and couldn't believe war cards existed so had to buy a pack.

Indeed.
Given your involvement, I can understand you having that sentiment.

I was against both Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

I came across a few Desert Storm TOPPS cards recently. :)

The 94,95 or 96ish Capitals had some my most hated players. Simon Hunter, Berube, Witt, Tinordi and Juneau.
Never hated Joe but yes to the others.

Again, I love it how you guys consider a registered libertarian to be the conservative boogieman. Case in point. We know who you are. It’s batshit stuff like saying NATO left Putin without any option but to attack Ukraine that keeps us coming back. And that's not a libertarian view, that's a MAGA v...

I saw jones pitch when I was in Florida last week His stuff is real. He’s also wild as hell and threw a lot of pitches.

Was this how it was in the 80s after Bradshaw retired too? Look at the names that started in the 20+ yrs between Bradshaw and Ben; my memory features more Cliff Stoudt than it should.
