re: My parents are in their late 70’s and refuse to create a will
Posted by IMLSUdoc on 4/28/26 at 9:00 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
I may be late to this but as someone who has seen this issue more times a day for almost 20 years. I hope someone will hear me out.
You do not get to decide how you meet me. You will probably not get tell me your wishes. I meet your family at your worst moment. Not you. You are hooked up to everything I can muster to keep you alive while family comes in. They don’t want to “kill dad/mom”. So you linger for days. Then one person gets it. This is despite every doctor from the ED to me saying that even if you live your quality of life will not be what would be acceptable to most of us. We use analogies and real life examples.
I tell you about losing my dad and being in your place with conflicting family. I tell you how my advanced directive reads: “ if you are reading this things are not great. And if i can not watch LSU football while hugging my wife in a meaningful way in 6m that is not me and you should let me go.”
That one person finally makes people come to terms.
Guys. Gals.
Do your advanced directives, HCP and POA’s
Put clear bumpers on there that people have to follow at 2am.
And make sure the person in charge will honor it and and not go crazy.
Also. This prevents survivors gult. Your kids will second guess themselves. Write what you want. Protect yourself and them.

[embed]No but starting this last weekend it will rewind itself multiple times during the game. Which has been pissing me off[/embed]
All freaking season. :spank:

FFS. Me too! All season long. Then went to bar in ATX to watch games. Same shite.
In Colorado (Black Hawk)we had mostly high winds. Trees dow. No power since Thursday. Was going to keep cutting up fallen trees today but had 3 inches over night and the real feel is 7 and may get colder as we are in for another two -three days of high winds.
Decided to make a mimosa and keep the ling night going by focusing on keep wood burning stove going instead

re: Renewing Football Tix - Printed Tix now cost $75?

I pay for the tickets as it give my godson and nephews so much joy to "get the ticket." I think thought what is cool is some schools send the tickets with a box of stuff for season ticket holders. Makes opening up your tickets a little more fun.

What is this premium board and why would anyone pay for this drivel?!
Started paying for it a few years ago (was kinda pricey and had to get my wife's permission) and never looked back. Great times! :geauxtigers: :nana:

Spent a week there, specifically in Bricktown and downtown area, and couldn’t disagree with you more. Boring as hell and the restaurants were either franchises or the local restaurants were mid at best.
This is the correct answer. I would only go back for a wedding for death in the family.

6 months ago I was the most pro division person. I hope we never go back to divisions. It has added a lot more excitement for sure.
victorinox.
Wife and I bought several for our destination wedding > 14 years ago.
Just fantastic for getting around and durability. We use at least one or two of them on average monthly since we were married. We Absolutely beat the crap out of them going all sorts of places.
Could not recommend more.

re: I10 or Hwy190
Posted by IMLSUdoc on 9/27/24 at 3:31 am to hughfreezehotline
Spent years driving from north and now driving from the west.
Always have your Waze on.
But every one that says coming from the north and taking 190 is right. But the real trick is to get off the exit before Opelousas And avoid the back up of traffic trying to get to 190. Fun little drive. Then get on 190 a s hit up food at the place of your choice anddrive through sandy’s daiquiris.
If coming from the west. Yeah. I10 is the way until their is an accident on the bridge.

I would wager that some high earners (like doctors) may actually be better off in Baton Rouge.
So, as someone who just made this comparison. I am moving to Austin. It’s more than just cost of living. It’s opportunities and access as well. I am taking a small pay cut to move to a state with less taxes (from where I am at) and more growth and opportunity while still keeping my season tickets. This was a no brainer. If someone can change my mind please go for it.

how morbid obesity "came to be pathologized and medicalized in racialized terms"
Here is the thing. When your morbid obese patients come in and need to be placed on the vent it is really hard to ventilate them against the extrinsic pressure provided by their habitus. I have had so so many people yell at me about their fat loved one dying on the vent but here is the thing and I will place this in OT terms. It is super hard to blow up a ballon when someone sitting on it.
It is these academic doctors who never touch patients who I absolutely despise. They are not on the ground in their own university hospitals let alone working in or at large city hospitals.

Spend a lot of time up here.
Golden would be high on my choices as would Broomfield and TBH Aurora is not all that bad. Just depends on your willingness to drive. They do a great job with snow so do not be scared of driving on it. I70 Can suck but no worse than any big city.
