So did mine but it wasn't clear whether it was from covid or the vaccine. I got my first boost in mid Oct and gave blood in mid March. I'll get another one as soon as they let me.

It is sad that the Catholic Church hasn't effectively dealt with their history. It's a large organization and those things move at a snail's pace. But individually a parish can be a remarkable thing. I'm not catholic but my wife is and we've raised our kids in the church and I still go with her. I've coached sports teams all through that time. We have a church festival, or did, before the pandemic. There is a real sense of community. We had a co ed softball team. We have a food pantry to serve the community. A scouting program. In a lot of ways they make people feel welcome and everything is fine. It was certainly a million times better than the fundamentalist church I grew up in. There's nothing creepy about my experiences. In the other church I always had this uneasy feeling that I was about to be led to a sales pitch of some sort. Always loaded questions.

I kid you not, some of them drug test their adult children for pot.

I'm of the age now where our kids have graduated HS and you'd be surprised how many of the helicopter parents who were Karens and the emptiness they now feel as their kids are out free. A few of those kids struggled, like many others do as well, in college, because mom wasn't there to look over their shoulder for every assignment and detail.

My son says "Nashville is Atlanta for white people" It is a growing city for sure.

Nashville, from what I hear now, is nothing but a bunch of name branded country music restaurants with rooftop bars and downtown is overrun by bachelorette parties. I haven't been there since 2013. if its still open you must go to the Ernest Tubb record shop and do the Ryman Auditorium tour.

I don't think it's nefarious. Just overly cautious news directors who don't want to get flooded by an extremely small batch of Karens who didn't want their little snowflake kids to see that.

6-5 going into the 3rd. Can’t stay to. 5:15 comes early.

To be an anti Vaxxer and pro ivermectin requires dual levels of crazy.

For me in the beginning of the 90s the black crowes was all there was for current straight up blues based rock and roll on the radio. Grunge was still kind of niche and it’s own thing. I heard it said that the blackest white guy used to be Peter Wolf then it became Chris Robinson.

“Ivermectin is FDA approved therefore we can use it as toothpaste” is not now medicine works

that's the point. Screw it up then say "Ok... the legislature has to cast the EC votes". This is a trial run to... get it wrong.

Drugs can have different uses. Just beause something is authorized doesn't mean it's authorized for everything. Reminds me of a common misconception that insurance covers Viagra. It can. If used to treat heart conditions, which was the original intent. If your doctor prescribes for that then insurance will cover it. If you want to get for erectile dysfunction then insurance won't cover it. Anecdotes is not data. Some people got covid, drank some coca cola, and felt better. Doesn't mean it was from the coca cola. Some people got covid, drank coffee, and died. Doesn't mean coffee killed them.

It's a shame that Robert Forster died. The BCS facebook page made a point to give us a picture of Howard and saying Blue looks good on him. Blue can mean bad things for people.

A significant number believe that scenario is God's will and should be supported.... that if she's a Christian she's better off.

No it wouldn’t. The GOP would still not be satisfied. They are barely going along with any exceptions for “life” of the mother, if at all, let alone health of the mother . They think health is too broad of a term. You know…, life is risky. Don’t want to take a risk? Don’t have sex. Don’t fight God’s will. That’s what they really think.

I am banned from posting or commenting on FB for 24 hours because I wrote this on a facebook group about Ozark: I really enjoyed the flashback of Ruth’s family having a BBQ singing angel from Montgomery. They may have been poor white trash hicks but in that moment we saw them happier and enjoying life more than the Byrds ever did or would. This is my second infraction. The first was because in that same group we were discussing The Untouchables and I quoted Andy Garcia's line to Sean Connery where he called him a "stinking Irish pig".

I was laugh because the toilet was in the trash when they were outside. im leaning towards Kim going to the vacuum guy. She is smart enough to memorize that number or location.

tonight's the last BCS until July.

They have burgers. That's the focus. The guy basically said they replaced the alcohol with ice cream. They live in the neighborhood, he's also a pharmacist. They wanted a place they could take their kids to. Not everyone wants to, or can for religious/custom reasons, go to a place that is primarily a bar. The burgers were very good. Nice people. Kind of a limited menu as they want to focus on smaller things and get it right. They own the day care place next door and in conversations with JP, the owner of the former JP's they eventually came to an agreement to buy it. Seems to do well.

Remember when Greektown was the only nice safe place to go in Detroit. I won't go there there anymore. And even after Tiger games now there seems to be a lot more activity. Loud cars booming, revving of the engines, etc. There's always a huge line to get into the place that used to be Cheli's.

boo fucking hoo. After having too many men on the ice while short handed and down 2-0 in game 3, down 2-0 in the series, in 2009 they never ever get to complain about a call in the playoffs. Never.

I am dragging. Stayed up Saturday night, then got up to run 8 miles, then again last night. Thank God for working from home.

Ferndale, Stellantis, and Ford re imposing masks for those on site.

No I don't think it's the same owners. Yes the parking lot is weird. But the hot dog cart guy is back so once a week I walk over to get one. Have you tried the new Bagel place in the Iceburg location? They are sharing the space. We've had it twice. Very good. They sell bagels in the morning before the Iceburg people take over.
