Quote: mcallister3200I would argue Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders were at least as high profile and only one year older when they walked away while still relatively healthy and all pro quality players. Johnson also walked away from an 8 figure yearly salary he was not being asked to restructure similar to Luck.
I'm actually shocked they were only a year older than Luck. They seemed to have much longer careers.

I dont remember Barry to be playing as long. Calvin was amazing the year before. I was shocked that he retired when we did. Am shocked though that a QB would retire as they are so protected. Sure they get crushed sometimes but nothing like a RB or WR. They can get destroyed.

They kept getting away with it,
so they had a cheering section.
They were in the radio news
all the time and in the news
reels in the theaters. They
would not have had that much
publicity just a few years earlier.
Quote: rxwineSomeone has been shooting burros along 1-15, They've found 42 dead since May. There's an ongoing investigation. There's a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
If I confess do I get that sweet $10k?
Quote: RSIf I confess do I get that sweet $10k?
I forgot to mention the part where they were also sexually violated.
j/k
2k fine per burro though, so it wouldn't work out so well.
Rewards from public and private sources now total fifty thousand dollars but it is thought that there are multiple shooters.Quote: rxwineThere's a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
This discussion began because I told them that my teacher said that hydrojet can damage old iron pipes. Which the plumber insisted never happens. They gave me an option to use only auger or both auger and hydro. Then they insisted that auger by itself does nothing. And refused to do auger. They showed up to do hydro but hydroed everywhere else except the exit of the grease trap where the clog is. Now they are saying that there is no way to reach that pipe. Which is why we paid for the septic co. to empty the tank. Now, they don't want to go in. I'd do it myself. But the locaiton is 50 miles away. I keep having to do everything myself. And he implied again that my teacher couldn't be qualified. The septic manager said that our local plumber is wrong about not being able to access the grease trap exit on a 500 gallon tank. Master plumbers?
I am considering doing the work myself.
I got charged for fixing my own icemaker. I went to the locaiton. The manager said he fixed the freezer but left the icemaker broken. I reinstall distribution pipe, descale, and found water filter needed replacement to work. A couple months later he billed me 300 to descale icemaker. I considered arguing with him. But he is one of two in the area.
I told plumber where hot water was connected to cold. He came and capped off hot line and charge 300. Our manager said that he only took 15 min. They dropped the charge but collection letter came a few months later. We called back and they canceled collections.
I came to my friends house He said an old man from one of the biggest AC co. in town said that his AC was overcharged by 2 pounds. Took 2 pounds out and left his AC at 85 degrees. I evacuated unit and discovered 2 pounds missing. Reloaded freon. Friends said it never worked this well new. 73 degrees.

I've never seen one but they are supposedly out in Red Rock Canyon. Lots of them in Oatman, which is about 75 miles south.
My neighbor in Bisbee has a small corral with three really small burros. I'm not sure if they are young or miniatures.

I got really drunk once and woke up with one. Fortunately it turns out she was a two legged version of one.
All donkeys and burros are small.
Quote: billryanBurro is Spanish for donkey. Seems like wild ones are called burros while domesticated ones are donkeys.

What about big donkeys?

What you think are big donkeys are probably mules. Or maybe rugby players.
After winning a number of California beauty contests, she was offered a contract to be a featured dancer at the original Las Vegas Tropicana in 1958 and kept a home here most of her life.
Quote: billryanWhat you think are big donkeys are probably mules.
A donkey is of the size you might think to have a go with it. You'd be wrong, but they're not intimidating. A mule... it's like a fuzzy house with legs instead of doors. Think moose without antlers, or a warm blooded moon. They're imposing.
Great security, if you don't mind gore. 1 donkey > 50 eagles

Quote: billryanI was just reading about a new 27 hole golf course being being planned near me. Does everyone who plays play 27 or are these set up so you can play 18? A foursome playing 27 holes must take six hours or so. I'd like to have a 12 hole course, where you are in and out in three hours.
Probably because a lot of people just play 9 holes, and with 27 holes they can have three courses in rotation at all times.
Or am I over thinking I? Someone pointed out that with 27 holes, they can build more houses around the course than if it only had 18.
Quote: TigerWuWell... what was she doing during those 4 hours?
I believe she watched sister act 1 and 2
Quote: billryanI thought about that, but you want the first half to be going out and the back half coming back. Your last hole should be next to your first. When playing 18, the 9th hole is traditionally the furthest from the clubhouse. When playing 9 holes, the 9th should be the closest.
Or am I over thinking I? Someone pointed out that with 27 holes, they can build more houses around the course than if it only had 18.
I just googled "27 hole golf course." The layouts all show three 9-hole courses all looping back around, so the first hole of each course is next to the ninth hole, all fanning out from the central clubhouse.

Well that certainly sounds exhausting.....

I don't see my wife often, when
I do all she does is complain
about how tired and stressed
she is. It's because she crams
as much crap into her schedule
as possible. She has every
minute of the day having to be
somewhere doing something,
and then complain about it..
When I point this out, she gets
angry and says I don't understand.
I understand perfectly, she's not happy
unless she's unhappy. Screw that.

You traditionally play only 18 holes in a day. Each nine hole track has it's own name. May be colors. So there is a Red, White, and Blue course. Believe it or not it is more complicated than you think to do tee times. For example, if you allot two hours to play 9 holes, and ten minutes between groups, ponder this..... If there are tee times on each 9 at 6:00, 6:10, 6:20...... 7:50, then there can be NO starting times between 8 and 10. All the initial golfers will be starting a different 9 at 8am. So the one 27 hole course I play only starts two of the 9's in the morning, and periodically there are stretches of no play on each of the courses. Seems EXTREMELY inefficient.
what about pain generally?
anybody have any good home remedies other than the typical ones - ice, heat, stretching
anybody do meditation to relieve pain? anything else? - they say "no pain no gain" - but I have pain and I didn't gain..................... 😄

NOT speaking as a doctor, and a former pain specialist at that! I know a bunch of people who have started medical marijuana and all are very pleased with the results. Have decreased other pain medications substantially.
However I think, outside of dispensaries that are required to test all their products, I think a concern with the CBD industry now that hemp is legalized is that there’s not really much in the way of requirements for testing or labeling at this point afaik, so you can’t really be sure of what you’re actually buying off the shelf at some of these random places that sell CBD now.
I've seen the gummy bears sold in stores for $19.99, then $6.99 on Indian reservations. I didn't take them, but was told they either do nothing or make you sleepy.Quote: mcallister3200CBD topicals specifically, seem to work great for pain relief of joints or other targeted areas. They are not particularly cheap however and I’m not aware of insurance companies paying for medical mj related products.
