Keep a CLOSE watch on those fasting numbers. Your diet change plus the met may end up being too much. You don't want to go hypoglycemic (too low). Bad stuff happens quickly, without warning, and you won't realize it. A few years back, a local doctor had a hypo episode while driving, resulting...

After my dad passed in 2018, Mom went from being lightly active to basically no activity. My brother and I could see her physically getting weaker and weaker. After about a year and a half, we finally convinced her to get a gym membership (many insurances will pay for part or all of the...

Assuming you are type 2, it's time to get a gym membership. My 74yo mom got a personal trainer and a gym membership, and was able to get completely off her metphormin. Took about a year of work. Exercise and/or diet are a huge help for type 2 diabetics. Cannot stress it enough. Yes, it sucks...

Well, this post escalated in a way I didn't foresee lol. I actually remember the faces of death stuff as well, but had forgotten it till it was mentioned.

Top options in my mind: 1. UPS 2. Ford Distant 3rd - buying the business with co workers. Running the business side is a HUGE undertaking. Working side by side with someone is one thing. Making a business run, deciding how to spend money, etc etc is a HUGE step. How old are the co-workers? Do...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ringleader-global-monkey-torture-network-102531745.html Add this to the list of things I didn't think of. Monkey torture videos. Seriously? I'm thinking someone should make a video of him enjoying the fruits of his labors, monkey style.

Cruise-in's are sometimes a less disciplined crowd than a true show. Regardless, doesn't excuse that kind of behavior. I used to scoff at those who had a "do not touch" sign in windows and close to the car. Not so much now. Just an overall symptom of society as a whole - people don't respect...

They say they don't flow very well, but I don't care. They've been on there since 1996, they aren't going anywhere soon.

They make some H pipe and double H pipe setups that tone a lot of the rasp down that sound a lot better. The coyote engines are a lot more sensitive to exhaust choice as far as sound, IMO. With that being said, most will do the x pipe or double x pipe setups. Raspy, loud, cackle sounding stuff...

I have etiquette. I go to big shows occasionally but I don't enter them. I've found more enjoyment of going to small shows or cruise-ins/Cars and coffee. Years ago, found a guy leaning on my quarter panel at a show. Still can't believe people come to a show and treat other's property as their...

Just rewatched Tombstone the other day. Been a while.

I can barely see gun sites now. Everything is either too close to too far away. Can't imagine trying to pick up spin on a ball LOL.

That had to be fun lol. I never even played. Just a "student" of the game. Learned a ton more while my son was playing his fourteen years worth. Also had his pitching coach throw me some while I was standing at the plate. He was in the high 80's/low 90's at that time. Good times. Aaron Small...

Hopefully there's a non surgical solution for you. I'd suggest learning to throw with your off hand until then. Does your regular job have repetitive motion in that arm? Throwing as hard as you were (for an, ahem, mature) individual, if proper technique isn't there, that could certainly cause...

First step is to get it diagnosed, of course. And they likely won't start off with an MRI. They will do an Xray and then put you on anti inflammatories to see if it clears up. If still bothering you after 4 weeks or so, they will then authorized an MRI. Does it hurt when throwing only, or all...

I'll back up what others are saying - avoid Nashville unless you like liberal areas. Same goes for Knoxville (city, but not Knox County as a whole). Chattanooga is a happening area but I don't think that's what you're looking for. I would look into the Cleveland area which is a few miles outside...

I'll keep trucking along in my 240k daily driver Geo. Just had the front end rebuilt, so should be good for another 240k.

In this particular case the inspector didn't even quote code, just said that's the way he liked it.

Buddy is currently having a house built. Fireplace/chimney was 100% up to code. Framing inspector wanted extra metal added because "that's the way he likes it". Not code. So, cost my buddy an extra $500 to do the extra the inspector wanted, even though it's plainly not in the code. I'm not in...

Not all back pain is muscle related. I discovered I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) along with degenerative disk disease. That, in turn, causes a nerve in my back to be compressed between the vertebrae on one side. Absolute shooting pain from my waist around to front of my thigh...

I've bought an oddball tool here and there, but the vast bulk of mine are my 35yo craftsman set, plus SK and assorted craftsman I inherited from my late FIL. Most of those are vintage 60's through the 80's. Have a few Husky pieces and no complaints so far. I'm the occasional shade tree guy, so...

Hard pass. I'll stick with my non-interference Geo.

I found out a former SR71 pilot lives locally to me. Hope I get to meet him one day.

Thankfully, they won't be able to reproduce either way.

Our son went to school with a girl who did the full transition a couple of years after they graduated. During little league ball, she played baseball and not softball but that wasn't totally out of the realm of norm as some parents didn't like how softball was ran at that age. Girl wasn't an...
