    NOT A DOCTOR: But, was Airborne in the Army also and I too; fractured my back. You should be getting to the end of your pain cycle in about a week or two. If not, then please go back to the Doctor in a couple of weeks. You may not believe it but whole milk will help a considerable amount (Lots of it). If you have access to a Jacuzzi - about twenty minutes a day with the jets directed at the T3-5 area. Good Luck. Airborne to Skydiver. That's how I started. My instructor told me he was gonna have to unlearn me a whole lot of bad habits (and, he had been an Airborne Instructor). :)

    Agreed.

    So you're saying that's an unfair tactic for either side, yes?
  4. BIGUN
    Your attempt at sarcasm?
  5. BIGUN
    Exactly.

    Nonverbal cues play a crucial role in detecting sarcasm. They provide valuable information about the speaker’s intentions and emotions. When trying to determine if someone is being sarcastic, pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Sarcasm is often accompanied by a smirk, raised eyebrows, or a wry smile. These subtle cues can indicate that the speaker is not being sincere and is using sarcasm to convey their true meaning. If you are unsure whether someone is being sarcastic, don’t be afraid to seek clarification. Ask the speaker to clarify their statement or express your uncertainty. This can help prevent misunderstandings and improve communication. https://everydayspeech.com/sel-implementation/reading-between-the-lines-recognizing-sarcasm-in-communication/

    It happens all the time with zoning regulations.

    I didn't see Biden giving the nod for VP Harris after she ripped him. It's politics, so who knows.
  10. BIGUN
    Simple. She's vying for a cabinet position.

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but in thinking about it - why do we need four gas stations on every corner? And if city governments limited the number of gas stations per x number of blocks?

    I sent the following link to Bill yesterday and have read it and the sources. Quite by happenstance; I was sitting in a lobby yesterday and there were a couple of Boomers, both wearing a Vietnam Veteran hat. They started out talking about Nam and it segued into politics and liberal ideology on Climate. They both agreed that the libs invented climate change, when "we've had climate change for thousands of years." What they were talking about was, "weather." Makes me wonder if the change in verbiage to climate change rather than global warming allows people to not investigate the real reason for climate change and if the poster should read - global warming. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a60819842/50000-year-old-block-of-ice/

    As much so as conflating all Republicans as racist, sexist, misogynist or association with Hitler.

    And, most of these old farts have known each other for over 20 years. We've skydived together, had children, stayed in touch, bickered with each other, wept at skydiver funerals, and in some cases; loved each other. I wish you the same in life.

    Twenty years of your incessant drivel, circular arguments and poor attempts at written manipulation - from mum's basement.

    If it pisses you off more - it's worth it.

    No, my first clue was when a jury found him guilty.
  18. BIGUN
    Wasn't aware of that.

    I'm confused. Aren't both Foster and Perry white?

    "He (Foster) motioned with the gun to roll down the window . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQJ25KNgLO0

    No argument. My ex and I had a serious discussion about that. We had a ton of nieces and nephews and the ones who stayed home had kids that just seemed more stable, social and did well in life. EDIT: Let me add this. Having a child later in life and both of us being more financially secure and unable to relinquish our own days; we found those tools and a housekeeper allowed us to spend more quality time. We spend at least four nights a week having dinner together, playing games and talking. Something I acknowledge that younger parents cannot always afford.

    I don't get how Abbot got to a pardon. Perry drove into a crowd, Foster pulled a gun ( a veteran also, so it's not a stretch to think he was going to end Perry if he continued to use the vehicle as a weapon), Perry sees the gun, pulls on Foster and kills him - but he was engaged in self-defense? Silliness.

    Sexist? j/k There is value in that belief, but times are changing.
  24. BIGUN
    True. Difference between animals and humans. Animals like skydivers have the same motto - EFS. For animals it's eat, fuck, sleep. :)

    And maybe not so much concern for global warming.
