Just keep breathing in the fumes. That's how you know if it's working or not

I... think... it's.... wor...........

If we had a "double like" button that we are only allowed to use once a day, I would use it on this post.

Thank you kindly. I have always been frustrated with all of the efforts that people put in to criminal or just hurtful activity and think about all the energy applied to good wholesome useful ends. All that we could accomplish.
 
I personally do not care for either of those names, but at least it wasn’t “Saban”. Both are odd and can have easy name calling variations and associations.

Just opinion of course. I named my son a Greek word which is not a proper name and changed the pronunciation slightly, so I’m not throwing stones. I’m just a upset that I missed their email about what I thought about this. We could have avoided the whole thing 😁

It’s sewn back on, was barely attached. They think it may mummify and fall off. But he’s little and there’s still blood flow to it, he may sprout another nubbin 😆

I hope you just discovered that your son is a superhero that is part starfish and can regrow parts of himself. I hope you are a black guy so his superhero name could be "The Chocolate Starfish".

For real though, hope the little guy is ok. I still remember your concern over my son's concussion....respekt.

Along the lines of naming kids, my wife fully planned on naming our second daughter Lola. We had adopted her niece and she thought it was the most awful name for a little girl. It was around that time that we decided to get a kitten from the animal shelter. Our niece asked if she could name the kitten. My wife agreed and our niece immediately named the cat Lola. Lol. Can't name your daughter after the cat!

That was genius

You should know that women do not really want others opinions on the names they choose even if they are asked. MeMe's that did not choose the names still don't like for someone and their friends to not like their grandchildren's names. My opinion is Saban is actually pretty if it wasn't associated with AL. Prue I didn't like until I could associate it with TN,. She actually did send me a message to ask if I liked it. I usually tried to keep my opinion to myself but said not really....so that's the one she picked of course. So your email would not have mattered.

As far as worrying about name calling in school, trust me kids are very creative and can always come up with something if they want to. I had a couple of friends that took months to pick out a name because they were worried about that. They finally settled on Jared because it was popular, and they couldn't find a way for someone to make fun of it. I had to tell the mother there was one in my class who the kids called Jarhead. You just have to beat the snot out of anyone that says anything about your name like I did. 😊
 
I’ve gradually been increasing my social activities of late and it occurred to me that I might be taking on additional risk. The life expectancy for Tennesseans is 76 years and the last time I used one of those online life expectancy calculators based on demographics and lifestyle it said I should live for 84 years.

Last month I celebrated my 64th birthday, implying I have 20 years remaining, or 12 years depending on which metric comes into play. I’ve been smoking cigarettes for 45+ years now, minimum a pack a day, Marlboro regular, so I have about a 75% chance of surviving that lifestyle choice.

I wanted to know what my estimated survival probability might be given a snapshot of the latest numbers from the Tennessee department of public health if I should catch the Wuhan flu here in Tennessee. It turns out for my age group my probability for survival could be almost 96% and given that I’m pretty sure my genes come from the Appalachian tribe that’s probably a good bet. Now I’m back to the most likely limiting factor of life expectancy for me as my smoking habit which I have promised myself to quit sometime in the next 20+ years.

Just for the record, it is my belief that during the time I presumably have left we as Vols will win at least 20 national championships in football. Positive people live longer. It’s a law of natural science. jmo.

I can't believe we have destroyed our way of life for those numbers.

Boys, man.

They keep those doctors visits coming. In 10 months, we’ve had severed toe, concussion, broken arm, and metal ball swallowed (feared it was multiple magnetic ones).

We had a cat named Chloe, and after getting married, and with child, my sister in law, stated the she always wanted to name her daughter Chloe.

I said no problem. We would rename the stupid cat. From that point on the cat's name was "Not- Chloe".
 
The accidental injury insurance policy I bought last year was a wise purchase 🤣🤣🤣

My wife got 2K for two hairline foot/ankle fractures. Severed toe should be worth more. Track your mileage to doc appointments and any missed work time. They might cover that too.
