  what do you think of him?

  i know he’s a great golfer.

  we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.

  Golf is the most boring sport in the world.

  I mean, is it a sport? You burn no calories. You get no exercise. Well, you might've in the good old days before golf carts.

  Golf is just one big old question mark for me. I don't get it.

  Funnily enough, they've proven they don't have the truth themselves.

  Every time they claim the light has gotten brighter to explain a changed teaching they're admitting they were wrong before, and therefore didn't have the truth.

  It becomes a case of a past truth that is no longer true. And then the English language ceases to make sense.

  I'm still on a waiting list.

  Here we have Groups 1a, 1b, and 1c before Group 2.

  I'm in Group 2 and they're still doing Group 1b.

  I'm hoping to get mine within a month.

  They've started Johnson & Johnson shots which is just one shot rather than 2, so I'd like to get in on that one if I can.

  my husband is going in on tuesday to have surgery to repair a badly torn rotator cuff on his right shoulder.

  he is right handed.. he's 51 and is great about exercising and staying in shape.

  however, while doing push ups, his shoulder just snapped.

  Thanks for that. I feel bad for the guy. He can't even pull the covers up in bed.

  He'll say, "Okay, I'm ready to go to sleep. Can you pull the covers up for me now?"

  Who wants to have to do that?

  He won't go for CBD. He goes to Pain Management for his spinal fusion, so they've had the discussion.

  It sounds like the recovery is different for different severities of tears.

  He has an appointment with the surgeon at the two week mark to take out the stitches, so we'll verify physical therapy guidelines then.

  He has been looking at three separate physical therapy practices. One has a pool which he is interested in. We do have a home treadmill which he is allowed to use after he's off of the prescription painkillers (for reasons of stability).

  Mynameislame, that's an excellent idea to buy extra large T shirts. Someone else had recommended extra large button down shirts. We'll probably try both.

  I think that machine will come later, but at first there can be no movement.

  Well, he's allowed to flex his wrist just to keep the blood moving, but the arm has to stay immobile in a sling attached to his chest. He's wondering how he'll be able to wash it and get deodorant up in his armpit.

  Maybe it has to do with severity?

  He has a 2 cm tear on the edge, as in, he's nearly torn the tendon completely in half.

  Then there's another 1 cm tear 'inline' if that makes any sense.

  Now I'm wondering if this recovery is going to take forever.

  He's planning to go back to work in 3 months. At least he's still getting paid disability for that long.

  Thank you.

  It sounds like this is definitely what he needs to keep him moving and healthy.

  Chronic pain really wears on you.

  Are you 'super-straight'? lol

  apparently , some bright spark has created a new sexuality - super-straight - and posted it on twitter.

  it's a new sexuality that means people who are exclusively attracted to cisgender males or females.

  it was made because some people are saying you aren't straight if you don't date transgender people.

  Although they did get rid of shillings in 1971 when they decimalized their money.

  And so 100 pence ( pennies ) was now equal to one pound.

  Previously, 12 pence equaled a shilling and there were 20 shillings in a pound. That made 240 pence per pound!

  Imagine the mental math for that!

  They still have pounds. They've kept pounds. Never went to the Euro.

  So maybe they've always been a bit wishy washy about the European Union?

  Or maybe it would've cost money to change money.

  You know: cheaper to keep 'er.
