I've never seen the HBO one, but a whole lot (horrible treatment) of breasts.

Speaking as a murse, you work from home types have got it made. The general public has burned me, and a helluva a lot of my ilk, completely out. Been in the direct patient care game for going on 13 years, and I have no clue who is going to take care of our generations asses. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to WFH at this point.
Interesting tidbit regarding addiction…..was talking to a surgeon recently during a case, and somehow this topic came up. He said in med schools they now teach that when someone is/was an addict they are always considered an addict, so going to AA meetings after 30+ years of sobriety tracks. He could’ve been FOS, though.
Q: What’s the difference between a surgeon and God?
A: God doesn’t think He’s a surgeon.
Go CAYUTS

Actually feel bad for Manti Te’o in watching this Netflix show. Jesus, what a douche that guy/girl was.
Edit: 10 min later, I don’t feel as bad for him.

Rolling Oven and Apollo are the two best pizza joints in town right now. You're probably stuck on Papa John's or Domino's and don't realize that though.
Side note: the roasted vegetable appetizer from Pietana is incredibly good.
I mean as nuts as it is, I feel for him too. This was pre-catfish knowledge. The dude went to ridiculous lengths. The girl was smoke and Notre Dame is well known for its dearth of female talent.
There is a new NYT best selling book called Dopamine Nation that references a study about the brains of addicts. Apparently when someone is developing an addiction, their brain goes through changes over time. If they quit, their brain can compensate and return to working normally. But if they use just once, their brain reverts right back to where they dropped off. So while their brain can function normally when sober, it doesn't actually fully return to normal.
So someone can be sober for four decades then take one drink of the sauce and they immediately revert back into being a raging drunk on the verge of sleeping in trash cans?
Consider me highly dubious.
A lot of substance abuse research sounds like ********. It is shocking that we don't have better tools to deal with such an existential problem than group meetings and prayer.

It's VERY common for someone to be sober for months or years, have one drink and a few days later revert to drinking at levels that rivaled their worst. LIke--more common than not. Have seen it in many others and experienced it myself.
A lot of substance abuse research is BS. But, IMO, the guys that wrote the 12 steps 80+ years ago f'ing nailed it. Whether by luck or divine intervention---they nailed it. Just my opinion and experience.
And I'll take my leave again...
As someone who lost a best friend to addiction about 2 years ago, I’d say that’s about right.
He’d get sober for awhile (longest was 3 years - granted that’s not 4 decades), then once he relapsed he’d be right back where he was within days….usually even worse.
The crazy part was when he had been sober for 3 years. The thing that triggered his relapse…….Gambling.
-I've seen it happen often...not immediately, but inside a month is pretty typical. They "pick up right where they left off." Generally speaking folks "quit for a reason"....the reason being they didn't drink "normally", there are mental and physiological reasons they are unable to do so. The mental stuff can be worked on...not sure the physiological stuff ever goes away.
-there are prescription drug treatments out there. Never seems to work *well* from what I've seen. Lots of other services/ methods to "drink normally" are offered. The efficacy is suspect.
^those things cost a **** ton of cash. Aa is free...I know which seems "less dubious" to me.
-"sleeping in trashcans" is a trope, hank. Do some research. Prolly help you professionally speaking.
^happy to talk more offline about that if you want or with anyone that wants to for that matter. If we keep going ima have to make some ****** coffee and ask everyone in gyero to donate $1.
/recovery talk.

Your opinion flies in the face of virtually the entire body of medical and scientific literature on the subject, Hank. You might consider STFU on this one.
Fair enough. Addiction is an existential problem for America. It just seems like the solution only works for a select group of people and we should have a much better toolkit.
Whatever saves lives.
I think 'toolkit' is the key there. No single tool, method, drug, counselor is going to work for everyone and/or work forever. Hopefully we get better at helping people find the right tool for them.
From the Patrick Reed lawsuit- his home address revealed its zillow listing- which showed his living room. Look at this mf'er's living room. LIV must be stopped.
Something I've been thinking about lately is Stoops' relationship with the Ol Ball Coach. When I see him fly off the handle a bit (Cal's comments), take an unprovoked shot at a guy like Shane Beamer, and consider how much he seems to relish beating the human dogshit out of a rival like UofL (and say the difference is UK plays "big boy" football after), I can't help but see some Spurrier influence in him. I think (hope) there's only more of it to come.
I really need him to beat UT at Neyland again this year and make fun of all 90,000+ of those hilljacks.

An addictive relapse is commonly known as "falling off the wagon" because it is a swift descent.
The brains desire to feed the addiction is why so many overdoses happen in a relapse. The body's tolerance has been reduced, but the brain pushes for what is has done in past cycles.

- That’s why I rethought my take on Stoops. He’s gotten this far at UK because of that chip. His program is built on that attitude. I was wrong saying he should have just blown it off. He’s an ornery MFer leading a team of ornery MFers. He couldn’t take any **** off Calipari.
- Yeah that Te’o doc was really good.
- Man, are there two guys who more look the part of basketball star than Toppin and Livingston? Dudes are put together.
- Speaking of, UK football has won 3 NYD bowl games in 4 years. Unbelievable.
- Read an interesting article on Mexico City. My wife lived there for work 3 months before we started dating. She absolutely loved it. Would love to visit some day.
Anyway, I agree with the Mexicans here. Can’t imagine how annoying having these millennial and Gen Z influencer dipshits overrunning your town.
- Have always found it interesting when cities experience their heyday for a half a decade or so - Detroit in the MoTown days, Seattle in the early 90s, Atlanta in the early 00s, Brooklyn late 00s, etc.

So you agree with the border cities in the "United States" about the dipshits overrunning their towns?
I doubt that the influx of millennials and Z's are creating an unsafe/high crime, environment in Mex City.
From the article..."many locals are starting to feel like foreigners in their own city."......ha, imagine that.
-*way* too many gringos in my neighborhood, tbh.
The Versailles Rolling Oven is all over the map.
I've have some amazing pies there -- and then there were times they've been garbage (hardly baked). I'll go for a Blue Stallion Hefe on tap just because -- but they could definitely be more consistent.
Mexico City should build a wall imo.
Probably going with the drug cartels are ruining Mexico.
Formed in about 2010, the Jalisco cartel is the strongest and most aggressive competitor to the Sinaloa.
The group has expanded rapidly across Mexico and is now one of the country's most dominant organised crime groups. Its assets are thought to be worth more than $20bn (£15.5bn).
The cartel is led by Ruben Oseguera, known as "El Mencho", a former police officer who is Mexico's most wanted man. The bounty for his capture? A cool $10m.
The Jalisco cartel is one of the main distributors of synthetic drugs on the continent, according to the US government. It is a key player in the illegal amphetamine market in the US and Europe and is also thought to have links to the drug market in Asia.
It has grown much more powerful in recent years and its rise has been fuelled by its use of extreme violence.
"It remains the most aggressive cartel in Mexico," according to the US-based geopolitical analysis firm Stratfor. "Its efforts to expand its area of control are largely responsible for the persistent wave of violence racking Tijuana, Juarez, Guanajuato and Mexico City."
Indeed, the cartel has gained notoriety for a series of attacks on security forces and public officials.
It has downed an army helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade, killed dozens of state officials, and has even been known to hang the bodies of its victims from bridges to intimidate its rivals.
And, according to experts in the region, it is set to expand further.

Oh, the irony. Mexicans getting pissed that white people are coming to town, ruining their way of life, and stealing all their jobs.

Trying to fill my first job opening at my new job, it's not a high paying job but it's a good job for someone fresh out of college or someone who retired early and wants a low stress government job.
Had 8 applicants, only 5 responded.
So apparently that's still a thing.

Booker being a native of corrupt Bardstown, and a frequent visitor to Mexico's cartel-lands is probably just one great big coincidence
That red Dodge pick up he just bought is going to turn up on some security cams if it hasn't already. Just has that *look*.
