My wife had breast cancer, went through 4 rounds of the “red devil” then 12 of another lesser aggressive chemo.
My opinion the steroids were great for her, and I think some people saying it was the steroids giving them side effects may not be realizing how much the steroids were helping the first few days. At least that was my conclusion for my wife’s experience.
1st days after she had decent energy to still do stuff around the house. But could not do anything for very long, poor thing just had no endurance, hell almost 2 years later her endurance still isn’t to where it was before.
Cold capping was applicable to her diagnosis & treatment, it’s fairly costly, but was absolutely worth it for her psyche and I cannot recommend it enough!
Some days will suck, just be shite, mainly due to fatigue! She didn’t have much vomiting actually but there was still some nausea. It’s different for everyone. Some foods & smells that she loved suddenly made her queasy.

re: Weight shift
Posted by Doug_H on 6/16/26 at 8:57 am to PurpleHaze583
Video yourself from looking at your front and also from your back leg. Do this now, and then again after the drills to compare the difference.
Simplest & most generic training;
Practice swinging with your feet together.
Then practice swinging from a kneeled position.
With your struggle for weight shift it probably leaves you pushing/fading/slicing, and that is basically impossible to do when hitting with your feet together or from your knees.
Practice regular stance but don't start your swing from regular position, instead start from the top at your hinge-point and start with 50% swings just focusing on over-pronouncing the hip turnover with your trail leg.

I have a buddy that uses some app and I swear it makes him seem better than he is. He doesn’t realize how much he’s hurting himself the few times a year he’s in a money match esp when not counting the mulligans he takes throughout the round.
I will never understand people that only put their good scores into Handicap calculator. I get they want their handicap to be low to look & sound like they're good, but then they use that slanted handicap # in tournaments or money rounds with buddies and then get pissed at themselves when they lose.
The only scores I do not enter are rounds where I say beforehand that I'm not going to, and I'll just use as a practice round. Whether I'm trying something different with grip/swing off the tee, or trying an iron where I'd normally use a W or Hy or vice versa, and maybe working on a different club or swing release with my chipping around the green.
I use GHIN, and I love that it tracks the Fairways hit, Greens in Regulation, and putts. I never tracked it until I had gotten a GHIN account and saw that feature. For amateurs I think it's great to track that so you see the % in black and white, especially for GIR when you see the majority of your greens missed were short. That shows the ego most of us have to say "my 8 is my 155 club" and so on, but that's only if we flush it great which only happens maybe 20% of the time, so we actually should club up to the 7 and take a slightly easier swing that's a higher % of hitting okay versus the low % of flushing the other club

Kelly Plantation - Played early May and it was in great shape. Also played in 2024 and it was fantastic then as well. It's more expensive than probably all the others except for Regatta, but it's a nicer course than the others and Regatta. If you're going to spring on only one $150+ round then I'd definitely do Kelly over Regatta
Windswept Dunes- Played in 2024 and enjoyed the heck out of it
Indian Bayou- Played in 2024 and enjoyed it as well
The Links- Played a few times and it's always been in good shape, save for when they have done maintenance to the greens.
Regatta Bay- Played in early May and it was in great shape, save for the greens which had just been punched so they were slow.
Baytowne- was good for a cheaper price
Emerald Bay- Never played, but heard good things.
Seascape- Never played, but have heard it was horrible.

Posted by Doug_H on 6/16/26 at 8:13 am to Arthur Bach
Definitely Baytowne given your experience level. Slower greens as others mentioned usually helps newer golfers with higher handicaps
Links is a nice course when the greens aren't just punched.
I've never played Burnt Pine and The Raven, and one is private so unless you're playing with a member you won't be able to anyways

Chandler has just become a punching bag for guys so I'm not putting a ton of stock in that win but Ruffy is a bad dude.
Chandler is still scary in the division, but age & battles have slowed him some. Crazy to think he is 2-8 in the UFC, but all of the fights prior to this one were great exciting fights.
His next fight(s) need to be against people who don't have so much of a height/reach advantage. Chandler is 5'8" with a 71" reach. All of his UFC opponents were taller (understandable since he is shorter) and he's only had reach advantage once, over Gaethje.
Mauricio Ruffy 5'11" / 75"
Paddy Pimblett 5'10" / 73"
Charles Oliveira 5'10" / 74"
Dustin Poirier 5'9" / 72"
Tony Ferguson 6'0" / 76.5"
Justin Gaethje 5'11" / 70"

McVay is gonna try and win another and then he’s out. He doesn’t care if the cupboard is empty
When rumors of potential retirement first came out a couple years ago I immediately thought of him going the route of Sean Payton and taking a break, for whatever the reason, then coming back
Urban Meyer is another I thought of with the comparison being Meyer "retiring" after Tebow left Florida similar to McVay's retirement rumors when Aaron Donald & Matt Stafford were being rumored to retire as well

Barring some voodoo from the coaching staff, our defense is going to be a liability.
Ross Jackson doesn't really know much, he regurgitates the talking points and but doesn't offer any actual reasons for his opinions. This is the same guy who countless times said that Alontae Taylor "is not a slot guy, he's just not, it's not going to happen, he can't do it". Taylor performed the exact same in the slot as he did boundary plus the added bonus of being able to blitz.
Onto the defense, I think overall improvement!
IDL-2025 Starters & main rotators were Bryan Bresee, Nathan Shepherd, Davon Godchaux
Bryan Bresee should continue to improve.
Nathan Shepherd should be the same or beat out by Vernon Broughton or Zxavian Thomas
Davon Godchaux possible to regress with age, but he should get beat out by John Ridgeway, Christen Miller, or Khristian Boyd
DE/Edge-2025 Starters & main rotators were Carl Granderson, Chase Young, Cam Jordan, Chris Rumph II
Carl Granderson & Chase Young are both young enough to still improve should going into 2nd year of this defense
Cam Jordan was damn good last year against run & pass. His 10 sacks from last season will be tough to account for this season even if he re-signs. Tyree Wilson should have the best chance to fill this pass rush role and Anfernee Jennings will get chances also. Hopefully one or both can offer some of what Cam could in run D
Chris Rumph II seems to be just another guy and should still improve somewhat, but at the least he should not regress
LB-2025 Starters & main rotators were Demario Davis, Pete Werner, Isaiah Stallbird, Danny Stutsman
Demario Davis was still good so there is going to be some regression, particularly from his pass coverage. Kayden Ellis is okay in this regard, but he should be an improvement in pass rush & blitzes. Isaiah Stallbird hopefully continues to improve and can be utilized in pass coverage.
Pete Werner is still pretty average, and likely will continue to be or possibly slightly improve. First 8 games he averaged 70.5% snaps then 54.4% for the last 9
Danny Stutsman through first 8 games only averaged 6.7% of defensive snaps then through last 9 games averaged 28.4%. He looked solid against the run. Not sure how many snaps he was in pass coverage, but he allowed 9rec on 12targets
S-2025 Starters & main rotators were Justin Reid, Jonas Sanker, Jordan Howden
Justin Reid underwhelmed last year, I fear father time is setting in
Jonas Sanker looked great at times as a rookie, should improve consistency in year 2
Julian Blackmon if healthy should either replace Reid or slide into the Star/NB role
Terrell Burgess is returning, when he played it was mostly due to injuries but I don't recall a drop off to be honest.
Jordan Howden played more in his rookie & 2nd seasons than he did last year, so I'm not expecting much from him and he may be casualty or PS guy
Lorenzo Styles Jr has some potential and good athleticism but I just don't think its fair to expect much from him this season
CB-2025 Starters & main rotators Alontae Taylor, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Quincy Riley
Alontae Taylor is gone. He was good but not great. He was underutilized as a blitzer from the NB spot IMO. I don't see much drop off from him to Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quincy Riley, both of which should continue to improve.
Martin Emerson Jr can hopefully return to form and challenge for a starting spot. He showed real promise before getting injured.
Isaac Yiadom is currently our #4 CB which is good depth. But I am curious to see if any of the young guys can challenge for that spot between Rezjohn Wright, TJ Hall, Dalys Beanum, Jayden Price, DaShawn Jones, or even Beanie Bishop if they utilize him as NB/Star
TL;DR
-Defense should not regress overall.
-IDL run D improves
-IDL/Edge rotational pass rush decreases. Jordan, Shepherd, & Rumph II accounted for 15 sacks last season. They all 3 have a chance to be there again, but whether it's them or others we I'd guess that combined sack total will be in the 10 range.
-LB drop off in pass coverage
-Safety improves
-CB improves
re: Jeff Duncan delivers a hit on Kamara

How utterly stupid was re-signing Kamara?
Does anybody have the exact breakdown for the remaining years on his contract after the recent restructure/50% clause we used? Guaranteed cash payout each year, cap hit, and dead money now compared to if released/traded post June 1st?
As I understand for '26 he is guaranteed $11.5M, base salary is $1.3M, cap hit is $10.5M. I guess I'm confused on what has already been paid of the guaranteed money and what is actually left t be paid each season. Does this mean that we are only paying him $1.3M this season plus incentives ($500k per playoff win / 1,600 scrimmage yards)? If that's the case even though his base salary makes him tradeable from another team's perspective they would have to offer us "enough" compensation.
Post 6/1 release;
'26 dead cap $11.4M...Savings is none, actually cost us $888k
'27 dead cap $8M
Post 6/1 trade;
'26 dead cap $10M.....Savings of $456k
'27 dead cap $8M

Vernon Broughton; 6'5"-311. 2025 3rd rd pick (#71 overall).
2025 Rookie Season; Wk1 inactive, then active roster Wk 2 making three tackles playing (24) defensive snaps (34%). Season ending hip injury sustained in the game. I look for him to challenge and overtake Nathan Shepherd, just as I had hoped last season. They are similar size, Shepherd 6'4"-315, and skillset.
Shepherd completely underwhelmed the in '23 & '24 to the point where I was hoping & expecting him to be cut prior t '25. I was very surprised to see him last season in camp immediately be in the starting group and even getting rest days with the other veteran proven starters. '25 he started slow again, somewhat expected in a new defense, but it did feel like he improved as the season went on and he also got 3 sacks. I'd be curious to see his PFF grades for all 3 seasons for us, and for last season curious if they got better after the first few games or not. Regardless he is definitely somebody that can be upgraded.
Christen Miler; 6'3"-321, 2026 2nd rd pick (#42 overall)
I'd expect him to immediately be able to compete for snaps at NT with Davon Godchaux 6'3"-330.
Godchaux, similar to Shepherd started off bad in the first few games then appeared to get better. Also curious to see his PFF scores from game to game last season, as well as overall. Regardless, also very upgradeable. '25 season first 12 games he averaged 48% of the snaps, then saw his snap count drop the remainder of the games to 29%.
In the last year of his contract, but I'm not sure the details of guaranteed money or cap impact of cutting him either before or after June 1st.
Khristian Boyd; 6'2"-320, 2024 6th rd pick (#199 overall)
'24 rookie season was active for 6 games, somewhat surprisingly in Wk1 playing 30% of the snaps.
'25 season he was active only for 4 games, averaging 29% of the snaps and also had some STs snaps.
John Ridgeway; 6'5"-321, 2022 5th rd pick (#178 overall) by Cowboys.
Claimed by Commanders early in '22. Rotational player for them in '22 & '23 before being traded to the Saints along with a 7th rd pick in exchange for our 6th rd pick.
'24 active for 13/17 games, averaged 28% of snaps per game.
'25 active for 4/17 games, averaged 28% of snaps per game.
Just re-signed to a 2yr/$6.2M deal.

Anybody have a carrot cake recipe???
On vacation in Cabo at a local grocery store last year I finally tried Carrot Cake again for the first in probably 15+ years and it was delicious! I asked others with us if that was just this one or if that's how all carrot cake tasted and I just forgot, but they did say this one was sweeter.
Not really fan of carrots but mainly due to the harder, crunchier texture if they aren't cooked or boiled enough to soften.

Master of Mixers makes a 5-Peppers one that is really good! Most stores like Albertson's & Rouses usually has it. It's thinner, and has little pieces of the peppers in it so it does have a good bit of spice.
Zing Zang is trash, for years I just thought I didn't like bloody mary's but couldn't understand how I did not like it since I liked all the cocktail ingredients. Once I branched out to different mixes, it became clear Zing Zang was the problem!

Asim Richards will be our swing T
Dillon Radunz will be our swing G
Torricelli Simpkins will likely be our backup C, though he may not be active all game days if Caesar Ruiz will be utilized as C2.
Really curious to see how the WR depth plays. Trey Lance, Barion Brown, Ja’lynn Polk, Trey Palmer, Damien Alford, Bub Means are all intriguing players
DL depth is another. Bryan Bresee & Christen Miller are the only guarantees. Davon Godchaux will try to fend off John Ridgeway & Kristian Boyd.
Nathan Shepherd will have to beat out Vernon Broughton, Michael Heldman, & Zxavian Harris

The pass blocking stat really stands out, but last year was the first season I can recall him being horrible in pass protection. Would be curious to see that stat year over year for his career.
Fairly early on last season we took Kamara out of the game on 3rd downs and put in in rookie Devin Neal, and we saw it for all 3 phases running, receiving, and pass pro. That says a lot, especially considering Kamara is supposed to be 3rd down type back
We can make excuses for some of the numbers like the O-line being bad, Rattler was the starter for most of the games and so on, but the effort and explosion just were not there. Then when you factor in salary.......

I'm in my forties so I'm a little old school, but I'm okay with most of the new numbering options except for the LBs in the 20s, that just throws me off for some reason

He fell off a cliff once he left the chiefs and seems to be trouble.
I'd be absolutely shocked if the saints signed him
He was a top CB in the league and traded to the Titans in 2024.
2024 he only played in 5 games before injuring his quad
2025 he only played in 7 games before injuring his quad again.
Given the quad injury and recent legal case, even though charges were dropped, he likely will only be able to get a 1yr deal for "prove it" type money. We should absolutely bring him in for a visit and tryout. I believe we'll see improvement in Kool-Aid & Riley but neither have yet to show they can shut down opposing teams WR1s and Snead was able to hold his own against Tyreek Hill & Jamarr Chase in years past.
But I wouldn't be surprised if he went back to the Chiefs since Spags is still there and he had his best years with him.
Played last week, definitely worth playing.
Decent shape overall.
No dead spots on greens, but not exactly plush either.
Fairways are pretty good but there are some dry and rock hard areas, hit a 240 yard liner off the tee and it'll roll out to near 300 in some fairways lol.
No cart girls, and in general the clubhouse doesn't offer much really.

think the fact that the staff didn't address LBer in the draft when several good ones were on the board shows they don't share that concern.
Yep Davis will be a big loss, but no one was going to fill that hole in the draft or FA that was not named Demario Davis.
My main concern is pass coverage. Davis was so good physically but also instinctually and through preparedness. Hopefully Isaiah Stallbird can step up in the 3rd and obvious passing downs.
There are still a few free agents out there that I think we should be bringing in for a visit to kick the tires on. Devin White, Kenneth Murray, Bobby Okereke
Maybe we can pull off a player for player trade like we did with Jacksonville swapping Khalen Saunders for Luke Fortner last season.
Alvin Kamara might be a potential after signing Travis Etienne and having Kendre Miller, Devin Neal & Audrick Estime all returning. Would just have be to be appropriate value in return.
Caesar Ruiz might be a potential after signing David Edwards and drafting Jeremiah Wright. We also re-signed Dillon Radunz and have Torricelli Simpkins returning.
WR will likely have some tough cuts as well. Think we usually keep 6?
1) Chris Olave 2) Jordyn Tyson 3) DeVaughn Vele 4) Bryce Lance
So it'll be tough battle for the last two spots between
-Ja'Lynn Polk: 2024 2nd rd pick by Patriots that we made a late draft pick swap trade for last season.
-Jerrod "Bub" Means: 2024 5th rd pick has shown some flashes but struggling to stay healthy
-Barion Brown: 6th rd rookie with great speed & yac ability, should also be a factor in return game
-Trey Palmer: 2023 6th rd pick by Tampa Bay that showed some flashes that we claimed off waivers last season
-Damien Alford: Signed from CFL, absolute monster at 6'6" 225 that high points the ball and makes contested catches, albeit against lesser competition.
I think these for sure will be the odd guys out unless they are the camp beasts
-Mason Tipton: 2024 undrafted rookie, flashed a little in camps but has yet to stand out in game. Return game also has been underwhelming.
-Ronnie Bell: 2023 7th rd pick by 49ers, showed a few flashes but seems like a low ceiling player
-Kevin Austin Jr: 2022 undrafted rookie. Had chances after injuries but couldn't fully capitalize
