Irritable


Yeah, I just live with it. Learned what foods usually trigger it, but also can get stomach pains & the runs completely unexpectedly. I eat pretty well, exercise alot, and am not overweight. My father and maternal grandmother have it so apparently I inherited it. 43 and planning to get a colonoscopy soon for peace of mind, but generally I just try to avoid certain foods and always know where the nearest terlit is at.
Not watching an hour long vid on Pine Bluff but I spent a few days there for work about 10 years ago and it was a dump. Seem to remember they had some kind of local effort to try to revitalize the downtown area. Guessing that never took off.

re: FRE nicotine pouches

How are the Joeys and Sesh? Those On!s are crap unfortunately. Bought a roll at WaWa for $1.99 per can. Bad taste, and pouches were just too thin and flat. Gave the rest away.

Velo has been my go-to for a couple of years, but the “fullness” of the pouches is hit and miss between flavors, and even can-to-can of the same flavor. Drives me crazy but it’s the best tasting brand I’ve found.

A meal like that will have me hobbled at work the next day with the bubble guts.


Same. I have IBS and basically plan meals like this for days where I don’t have to work the following day.

People look at past teams and think the same might happen with this one, even though they aren’t related. Also, the South Carolina series gave people a false sense of confidence.


Not related but they all have Jay in common. That gave me hope for awhile of a late season turnaround. Sweeping SC didn’t move the needle for me, but I had a faint hope because the math was still there. Saw them give probably the best punch they had in them last night and it wasn’t good enough. This season was a complete mess. Looking forward to the Tigers getting back to Omaha 2027.

When I was at LSU, half of the students who chose animal science degrees to later become vets did so because they liked animals, nothing more. My friend who became a vet said they dropped like flies when they figured out what a vet actually does.


I believe it. Just recently watched our vet stick her finger up my dogs butt like it was the 20th time that day.
All I know is that the Scientology cult has taken over and ruined downtown Clearwater. It’s already like driving through a creepy movie set. Apparently now the city gov is relocating and Clearwater residents are scared the cult is going to purchase the soon to be vacated properties.

Tech fans are now having to cope with a potential QB1 from Tulsa who had a QBR of 31.6 last year, oof.


You hate to see it

re: Thoughts on the COVID vaccines?

I worked for Progressive Insurance during Covid and they instituted a “health insurance penalty” fee if you refused the jab. It was about $100 a month deducted from my paycheck that went toward the “increased risk”
I posed toward my company provided healthcare.

I realize this was nothing compared to many out there that faced losing their job entirely, but I held a grudge against them up until the day I left the company. And for the record I would have absolutely let them fire me if they had in fact given a job or jab mandate.
Saw it last night and loved it. Thought they did a great job recreating the atmosphere of the 70s & 80s. Juliano Valdi and Jafaar Jackson did a great job playing Michael. It’s not an Oscar winning film but it is highly entertaining and a great trip down memory lane. It will be interesting to see how they do part 2.
He seems like an uber-positive dude. Not disingenuous, just the way he is wired. Like the QB in LV he’ll be learning from.
I assume they get nearly all their sales from very non-confrontational people who have a hard time saying no. I imagine if you knock on enough doors you will find those people.

We get a lot of pest control salesman around here. The last one I politely declined and said i don’t have time to talk. Of course he kept right on with his pitch so I just closed the door in his face. We could hear him outside carrying on with his sales pitch, just talking to the door LOL

Vast majority who want to become cops are on a powertrip and have massive egos/god complexes…. Let’s not be naive, it is a tale as old as time .


You got a link to that study?

I’ve known about 10 cops in my lifetime. 2 were a-holes that weren’t fit for the job, another 2 were a-holes but professional at the job, and the others were all nice and normal dudes.
Bruh I’d be happy with just consistently being a top half SEC team and making the tourney more years than not.

There are only a limited number of schools that will pay in the highest level for hoops. Plenty of excellent and potential to be excellent players that go elsewhere.
