    Top Non-Political Advice

    This. I’m soon to be 63, but I’ve taken good care of myself. The number of individuals who come up and tell me about their health issues is stunning. I often think to myself, what did you do to your body to have it be so broken down at such a young age? (ok, sometimes not so young) As I type...

    What is MAGAs obsession with testosterone levels?

    I hear what you’re saying and don’t disagree. If you’ve maintained yourself and can still sprint, jump, lift heavy weights and be an explosive athlete, there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.

    Follow travelers - favorite airports, least favorite airports

    Reminds me of Del Norte Co airport up in Crescent City, CA. I asked where baggage claim was and they pointed to a sign on the wall next to a door. 😂.

    What is MAGAs obsession with testosterone levels?

    My doc threw it in on this spring’s blood work (63 yo soon) after I told him I was curious two years ago. He laughed and said, I know from everything I see & your other panels that you’re good to go. I was surprised when I checked my online account and there it was. I didn’t have any signs...

    I hear you, brother. DFW: Land in Lubbock, taxi to gates at DFW. Four gate changes later, you board your next flight. The ATL “Plane Train” makes that rickety-assed thing at DFW feel like a ride in a Rolls Royce.

    What is MAGAs obsession with testosterone levels?

    None of my degrees are in Physiology, but color me shocked that being a fatass, spending an exorbitant amount of your free time sitting on your arse playing video games, and staying up to odd hours and not getting enough sleep would suppress free & total testosterone levels in young to middle...

    What is MAGAs obsession with testosterone levels?

    This is analogous to something one of my coworkers in Atlanta (Georgia Power) said to me years ago…”That sumbitch is so stupid that I got dumber by just talking to him.” 🤣🤣🤣

    Keyboard-low waistlines, keyboard-high salaries, and keyboard athleticism are right there as well 🤣.

    Sorry, the geologist that I am, is curious. What type of miner is she? Gold?

    Mike Johnson is coming for the Boomer generation

    I just took a look…9.7% have BMI of 40? Wow.😮 Admittedly, I’ve not flown much (used to fly 30-40 times a year) since I retired in 2024, but in flying back to South Carolina two weeks ago, even I was surprised by the number of excessively heavy people I saw. Technically, I’m Class 1…which is...

    Mike Johnson is coming for the Boomer generation

    You and I have agreed on things in the past, so I’m curious (not looking to pick a fight) how we would determine “obese”. I could support a surcharge, but I don’t want to get sucked into the black hole of BMI.

    *****BrianNole's Emergency Room Hospital Visit thread*****

    You have my empathy. Battled that one myself several years ago. The weight loss I experienced caused by those two issues would put Ozempic to shame.

    WSJ: University of California Professors Are Begging Schools to Reinstate the SAT

    Thanks! He makes us look like rock star parents. Was always a good kid. I dropped him on his head twice as a toddler; no telling how smart he may have become if he had a Dad with better hands.
