You throw a speculative guess out there, then say “prove me wrong”. Too funny! 😭

Indeed, there is SO much out there that it's honestly often hard to figure-out what is real and not. I usually just eat my crow without seasoning. Just choke it down quick and chase it with water (Sort of like when I was a kid and my mom made me eat my helping of liver...🤮 😂).

Yup. Ironic that folks who sometimes refer to the "sheeple" of the nation will post info and links without any thought to validity, etc. If it's on a website or source they follow, it is eaten-up without question. The true definition of sheeple, IMO. 🙄

Three years ago i dealt with a lingering case of Plantar Faciitis. I started wearing Sof Sol inserts, and they are amazing. I found them on Amazon, but they are of course available all over. https://sofsole.implus.com/products/insoles/plantar-fascia-insoles Obviously lots of opinions out there on various options, but you might check them out, Kevin. Good luck!! S.

Alex knows exactly why it was deleted because I sent him a note, and it wasn't because of all the "crap talking" (Seriously??? If that was the case, there would be about 50% less threads here... 🙄). Simple: F-bombs get nuked. Anyone who's been here very long knows that's how Amanda wants it, and new-comers should know because they would have seen the rules when they open the account.

Not sure if that's a rhetorical question or not, but trauma can/does cause strokes. Specifically head trauma can do it. So the bear attack killed him (If you assume he wouldn't of had a stroke otherwise,....).

Fair point! I actually hadn't even checked the price of lumber. CRAZY!!!

Hold that Bitcoin! 🤑

I had a guy put one up around the backyard of a house I bought in late 2019. I'm located in south Scottsdale area, and not sure where he's based so not sure about travel to Superior. That being said, he did an EXCELLENT job! Strait, level, sturdy, and clean all the way around. I'll pm you his contact info. S.

Nick, this point is VERY valid and resonated with me. Several years ago I was very actively involved with the ADA (Youth Chair, setting-up and running the youth camps & functions, etc.). Though the club in general had positive intentions and did a lot of good, I ended-up being a little disgruntled and faded out of active participation based on this type of theme. There were a couple of occasions where certain board members took a position on various topics 'on behalf of the club' that appeared to me to be a bit controversial and shaky. There was one particular time when there was an article written by a well known board member in the regular ADA magazine, and it included fairly scathing commentary regarding one of the other clubs in the state. At the next board meeting I brought it up and asked if that was the position of the club, or just an editorial from the one board member, and my concern was basically brushed-off. Bottom line is, if your point regarding folks knowing where their donation dollars go and what position they are 'supporting' with those dollars is spot on!!! Donors beware!

That’s a great report Phil, thanks! My sons and I are going to head up there in two or three weeks. Fingers crossed! S.

With the general lack of rain/snow, I'm thinking the roads will be just fine. Likely just the usual rocky-bumpy ride.

😔🙏🏼

Yep, I hope they can get this thing contained. Looks like it’ll end up being fairly small in terms of acreage, but I fear the impact looks like it’ll be fairly significant in terms of homes etc. I grew up in Kearny, and the kids from Dudleyville got bussed there to go to school so I know some of the families in that area. Word is that some have lost homes. Sucks. 🙏🏼

What shootings?

Yup, we all need to watch-out for how that plays out. Also, the bill that Ducey just signed will ONLY matter if the above mentioned point is deemed to be 'unconstitutional'. That determination is left up to Federal courts, of course up to and including the Supreme Court (LONG and drawn-out process to get to that determination...). Hence I think the AZ bill is really just sort of window dressing with a very low likelihood of ever having any practical enforcement.

👍 Myself and family took the plunge as well. If it was just me, I might not have done it (Needles are one of my phobias....). My older brother & sisters though, whom I'm VERY close too, are all totally onboard with it. Sort of figured I would go with it for the 'greater good' of my family. We all spent Easter brunch together, and it felt good to crowd around a table full of food together again! As with lots of things, just a personal choice.

I was sort of thinking the same thing when I first read the bill. The wording 'unconstitutional gun laws' leaves it very much up to interpretation. I like the spirit behind Ducey signing it, but the practical applicability of it appears to me to be suspect (Given that it is only for "unconstitutional" federal gun laws....)

A simple Google search will show you evidence that purports masks work. Another simple Google search will show you evidence that purports they do not work.

Ummm.... Huh??? 🙄🤪 Exactly where did you hear or read that??? 'Expelling the virus orally' has absolutely NOTHING to do with your body's first line of defense against viruses. If you are expelling a virus orally from your body, you already have it. In fact you just made the argument for wearing one, by indicating you can't expel the virus orally with a mask on.

Ya, I get you. Was of course mainly just making a lame joke about how jalapenos inflame me. For sure I'm a believer in trying to eat natural-healthy foods to the extent that I can. VERY scary what ends-up in canned foods, and I avoid canned/processed foods to the extent that I can. I have gravitated towards lots of veggies & protein, and lower carbs & simple sugars. (Though I cheat a little too much on the simple sugars thing....)

+1 I would like to know what "inflammatory" food is. Had some jalapenos two days ago that may qualify, but not sure.

Would be great to keep it to the point of the thread, as opposed to hi-jacking. Plenty of room for another thread to vent about mask mandates, etc. If you really had it, good deal to be one of the lucky folks with fairly benign symptoms. GreayGhost85, for me the primary impact has been the lingering affect on my taste (hyper sensitive to spicy/salty). That being said though, yes, I have felt a little 'off' as well. Am trying to chalk it up to being work at home and basically not eating as well as I used to. Trying to get back closer to my healthy eating habits, exercise, hot yoga, etc,, and hoping that will help get me back to normal.

I had it in late November. A week or so of feeling very crappy/fatigued, then a week or so of feeling just sort of 'off'. Taste and smell went wonky, but didn't disappear. Strange thing for me, was that in January (as my taste/smell was slowly coming back, my taste buds started to get hyper-sensitive to spicy/salty/sour foods. Basically, my tongue would feel like it was burning with even mild salty/spicy. It sucks because like a lot of southern Arizona natives, I LOVE spicy food! That has been slowly fading over the past several weeks, but still lingering a bit.

That is a great looking car! I've always been partial towards the Italian and German brands. Have looked at the Ghibli’s, and really like them! Can't bring myself to get rid of my little ol' two seater (911) to make room, though. (One of the disadvantages of living in an older neighborhood. No BIG 3+ car garage! lol) Market looks solid and it's a fair price. I imagine you'll get a taker soon.
