Have been experiencing tinnitus for a few years. I hear a high pitched noise and at times I hear it in a pronounced manner and at other times I forget about it or it just quits I guess.

I wasn’t noticing it and then read this post and then it became more pronounced. Anyone else suffer from Tinnitus? I am no where near so aggravated by it that I let impact my ability to live life. Not sure how bad it can get that someone would kill themselves over it?

Probably dumped his life savings into the market sell off.

Should have asked William Shatner how to deal with it. Kirk is always talking about his tinnitus.

Based on the steaks that arrived Logan’s should close their doors.


Texas Roadhouse is typically pretty good for the price. Logan’s, on the other hand was a pitiful excuse for a meal. All the logan’s in central Misssissippi have closed.

I haven’t had Covid but I’ve had severe tinnitus for 20 years and it’s no fun. Add into that sudden hearing loss to 80% in one ear and it’s a frustrating condition. I’ve never considered harming myself but for those who don’t know I do see where it could drive a person absolutely mad. And there is absolutely nothing that can be done to fix it.


Same for me. Some days it's not too bad, some days it's like a siren going off in your head and just makes you crazy frustrated.

I've had it for years and am totally accustomed to it. I am not buying that as the reason for suicide. Sure, it's frustrating but its not hard to overlook most of the time.

I had a Logan’s steak the other day oddly enough and yeah was probably the worst I’ve ever had in my life. Couldn’t cut it at all, just absolutely tough and chewing it was like chewing gum.

That’s an oversimplification. He beat COVID but some of his symptoms never went away. It happens with some people.

Maybe when he took the job, he thought it was "Texas RADhouse" and it could just never live up to his expectations.

Suicide is the real pandemic. I personally know of 5 people that have committed suicide in the last year.



Disagree. I know nobody that has committed suicide since the Covid hoax started.

Not at all. Mr. Taylor was one of the better businessman in the area and a genuinely decent guy. Gave back a ton to the community and was well known in the area for his philanthropy. He was also a firm believer in if you treat your employees well, they’ll work hard for you. I had the pleasure of working with him the last couple of years in a fundraising capacity and he was just a genuine salt of the earth kind of guy.


Not hating on him. I’m sure he was a fine fellow. But he still killed himself. That’s a head case regardless of his previous demeanor. Something changed whether mental, physical or both. But it’s not normal.
