The Civil War, looking at both sides, it was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight.

Time to read a book. It may have been on a reading list when you were in school. The book is 1984 by George Orwell and you can get a kindle version on Amazon for 99 cents. This book introduced the phrase Big Brother is watching you.

Old guy here, I worked for Payne & Keller back in the day as a timekeeper. I was assigned to that job but I was told to go to another jobsite and missed all the excitement. My lucky day.

re: Any experiences with bypass surgery?
Posted by Purplehaze on 6/29/26 at 11:08 pm to CroakaBait
The day of my quadruple bypass I weighed 252. Three days later, had eaten very little, I weighed 275. That is how much fluid had built up in my body. They installed 3 drains to help get rid of it.

76 and a retired CPA. Never ever use a phone for banking. Protect your laptop at home, get a password manager like Robo Form Everywhere and only do your banking from your laptop.
Us old boomers still remember our home address and phone number growing up. Makes a damn good password. Or use your license plate

I am 76 and had the 4x cabbage surgery in February of this year. The worst part for me was the catheter. Because of the catheter, you will not be wearing drawers but you wear 2 gowns, one opening in front and the other in back. After surgery, 3-5 days in ICU followed by Tier 1 rehab clinic at Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands.
After the surgery, you will have difficulty swallowing from that tube down your throat. Your diet will consist of fresh fruit like pineapple and grapes, iced tea, pudding cups and all the ice cream you can try and get. Hot breakfast will be served cold, sausage looks gray and you will learn to love the prepackaged cereal. There will be a wheelchair in the room. Get up with their help and sit there while eating.
The heart surgeon wants to see fresh films every day. I was awakened every day ay 3:30 AM for x rays taken in the bed.
You will not be allowed to use your hands or arms to get up out of bed. They force you to cross your arms on your chest with that heart shaped pillow and get up using just your legs. This minimizes the risk of tearin stitches internally.
When they start with rehab, ask for a stand up walker. Much easier than the old style. Google it.
Check out Rooms To Go for a zero base stand up recliner that will put you up into a standing position. Look for the ones with 3 motors around $900. This is what you will sleep in for at least a month.
The hospital food sucks. Chicken tenders will need dipping sauce to help you swallow. Have your family bring you beef jerky and pop tarts for hunger issues.
The best part is you should lose 15 to 25 pounds. Good Luck to you

re: Request for husband diagnosed with 2 cancers
Posted by Purplehaze on 6/26/26 at 5:25 pm to Gram Parsons LSU
I am 76 and have had an unusual year. In January, diagnosed with prostate and bladder cancer. Had a fall in late January and it was a good thing as tests discovered a heart problem. Had quadruple bypass surgery in March. Recovered well. Yesterday had an outpatient procedure that took care of the bladder cancer for now. All that is left is to beat the prostate cancer and then enjoy LSU football. You must have a positive outlook. And yes, getting old sucks.

re: Off the wall question about the Billy Cannon punt return.
Posted by Purplehaze on 6/21/26 at 10:48 am to Yeahright
I watched that you tube video of LSU/Tennessee. UT used the single wing offense. That was worth watching. LSU defense was dominant. LSU missed a field goal and UT got a pick six. LSU recovered a fumble inside the UT 10 that allowed them to score a TD. The 2 point play was off of right tackle/end and away from the camera. You do see an official signaling that cannon was down around the one but it was not obvious.
