How bout just a well balanced diet.

Instead of eating 3 scoops of mashed potatoes try just 1.

Instead of eating 2 cheeseburgers eat 1 cheeseburger.

And so on.

Drinking water is very helpful, since I had the kidney stone my tea intake is one 8 ounce glass per day and water rest of day.

Lemon in your water helps with reducing risk of kidney stones as well

And why should anybody fall for the "crisis" talking point that this UNLV thing is a big f'n deal because it might keep UNLV out of the playoffs?!! Really? 😂
Click to expand...
The crisis will be if student athletes see playoffs as a great opportunity to go on strike against the billions of $$$s on the line for playoff broadcast. Remember FSU and the playoff? "Oh, they were a great team, but who wants to watch them get destroyed without their QB?"

So, we get the brackets set, and 1/4 of each team says, "You know, we don't think we're going to play without renegotiation."

The NCAA did this, by the way. It's not just the kids' fault. The NCAA's negligence and power-hunger created an environment where universities made under-the-table, verbal, no-written-contract NIL deals with no recourse for either the team or the student athlete. Now, thos deals are unravelling, as such deals usually do. See the pre-death-penalty SMU chaos from the 80s.

As such, UT's NIL health probably makes this much less of a danger for us and other who have followed our lead. The SAs will have very clearly defined contracts. Also, current culture appears to be better than excellent. So until this NIL thing is hammered out, this is probably another reason that UT will keep pacing ourselves as a leader.

My mom passed away tonight. She finally submitted to dementia. I’m almost 48 years old and somehow I just feel like a sad kid inside.

Sorry to hear that.

Having personal experience with Alzheimer’s, try to keep this in your mind: Her suffering is over. Remember her for who she was for the majority of your years, and not what she succumbed to. May that memory forever be a blessing to you.

Hope you have your loved ones near for comfort during this time. Prayers being sent your way.

So sorry for your loss. My Mom is going through the fight with Dementia as well. Makes me so sad to see her falling a little further every day.

I still use a 1996 Kirk Currie putter, with a grip I’ve had on it for 20 odd years,

With that being said, I’m tinkering with mallets. I think it’s like 8/10 of the top players in the world use a mallet. Easier to aim and less “twisting” on off center hits (MOI- moment of inertia)

You can get really good pre-owned Odyssey 2-Ball, Odyssey White Hot Rossie, putters for around $50-$60.

There are two good putters that not many are familiar with that you can probably find cheap.
Never Compromise and Guerrin-Rife.

Second on Rife. The two-bar mallet is a very underrated design.

Man, I'm sorry. Been through that. It's a terrible disease. Have to take comfort that she's free of it. You'll be in my thoughts.

When we moved to Knoxville for my wife’s residency training, we rented out our house in Grapevine. When we moved back, the renters had let the yard go to hell. In retrospect, we should have rolled lawn care into the rent price (1st and last time that I ever want rental property).
Took us about a year to get the lawn and flower gardens looking decent again. Once it looked nice again, we came home to a “yard of the month” sign sticking up in our yard.
Our HOA didn’t have a yard of the month contest, but our yard looked so bad that they thought we deserved the acknowledgment when we fixed it. 😂
Our neighbors called our house the rent house…didn’t know, but ours was the only one that was leased in the neighborhood.

people look these things up. our neighborhood renters aren't too bad these days, but laws they have been.

Agreed...that has been my experience as well. I tell people to try Keto and see how it works for them, if you are doing it right and are not losing weight...try something else, because your chemistry is just not made for it.

But I know a lot of folks that "say" they tried Keto and did it right, and after talking to them you find out they were eating a lot of that "Keto freindly" garbage on store shelves.

I try to cut carbs to the bone...and I don't eat any of that "Keto friendly" crap.

This is true. I find that when I do eat low carb breads and other low carb processed foods, my weight loss either slows or stops entirely. Also, I hear of people doing Keto during the week and going off for the weekend. Keto is short for ketosis. It takes days to get in ketosis where your body is consuming one's fat for energy. You likely never get into ketosis doing that.

How can any Vols fan look at our rosters and results in football, baseball, and basketball and fall for the "sky is falling" ginned up hysteria about NIL and the portal?

These are the good ole days.

Exactly. There has never been a better time to be a Vol. It's Great to be a Tennessee Vol, I said it's Great to be a Tennessee Vol. WGWTFA.

My 1$ for a year of Volquest subscription expired.

First and foremost, I want to thank the Volquest community and team for the opportunity to be a part of the platform over the past year. It has been a great experience, and I’ve appreciated the content and the passion everyone brings.

However, after careful consideration and reflecting on what’s best for me moving forward, I’ve decided that I will not be continuing my subscription. This decision wasn’t easy, but I believe it’s the right choice for me at this time.

I hope everyone can understand and respect my decision.

I have cornbread only during the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Other that that I don't touch the stuff, growing up there was cornbread on dinner table every night to eat. Same goes for homemade biscuits 🤮🤮🤮
