So you're saying you want it all, but you cant have it?

It doesn't matter anyway.

It doesn't matter anyway.

Typically, it's in your face when you cant grab it.

I'll be in Arlington, TX for 3 days in July. The Rangers will be playing at home, so I'm thinking of going to a game. Anyone ever been to the new stadium? Any specific seating area I should look for tickets?

Stadium setup is really pretty good. Depends on what area you like. I’ve always been partial to the first base line view. So that is where I usually check first.

Find shade.

Indoor stadium, but otherwise sound advice

Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators pitched an 18 inning shutout vs Lefty Williams and the Chicago White Sox.

Let’s see anyone do that today…

an impressive feat. Kids start at LL throwing sliders and torquing arms. Not sure there is a need.

This is one if those obscure things, right place right time, lotta luck. Prob threw all fast balls. Who would want to do that?

That was such an awesome game. @InVOLuntary, @BaldBiker , and I were there. @BaldBiker was still trying to catch up with Shoeless Joe Jackson. Shoeless Joe owed @BaldBiker money, at least that’s what he told us. I think he was jealous that Shoeless Joe had asked out @Orangeredblooded before he could. I never found out if she actually went out with either one of them. She was like that pesky little sister that grew up before you realized it.

Because we got lucky and hired the right guy...total crapshoot.

If you are talking about DW hiring CJH, that was not a crapshoot. That was DW’s plan all along. He knew what CJH was capable of doing. He just had to go through the motions of looking for a “big name “ to satisfy the masses, then went and got his first choice.

Now no one should doubt any hire that either of them supports.

If you are talking about hiring DW, don’t think that was a crapshoot either.

Dog got diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago. He's been a trooper because he's a very good boy but it sucks.

The initial testing and treatment has been incredibly expensive. Like never-trust-my-vet-again expensive. I certainly could not think less of Blue Pearl now, where he is receiving treatment.

I can't even get a second opinion or meet with another Dr because all the oncologists and other vets are on a 60-day wait, minimum, because all of the people/pets that have moved here.

Anyone else had to go through this? My only options are spend thousands or let the cancer have its way.

If you are close enough, UT Veterinary Clinic is an option.

He'd already worked with Heupel and knew him well. Not sure you can compare that to closing your eyes and hoping for random results that are basically beyond your control.

So what you're saying here really is two things.

1. you're not in or near Knoxville
2. you don't keep up with the music acts coming to Knoxville

If anything this new "entertainment" hub would just allow UT to take advantage of the ability to bring in big acts more frequently to TBA and potentially open up Neyland for large scale outdoor shows as well.


A few acts that are on the slate for TBA concerts the next couple months

Break Benjamin with Bush
Hank Williams Jr.
Thomas Rhett
Guns N' Roses
Aerosmith with The Black Crowes

Near is subjective but no, I spent a decade in Knox but no longer live there. I did look up events there and I was actually surprised to see the names that I saw, many of which you listed. I do think they can make it work. I'm curious what kind of numbers the 5 you listed will produce. I don't think any of those will draw huge numbers but I could be wrong. Breaking Benjamin tix are reasonable on stubhub but actually listed at prices higher than I would have expected. We'll see. Hope it works out and changes the landscape of college sports.

Not yet a reply about Chimp Empire. Somebody watch it so we can talk shop. It's not the usual animal documentary. Very bingeable and blows my mind both how they captured it all and how they reveal it bit by bit.

I had to have my dog put down because of cancer. His was untreatable. It would've destroyed me if it had been treatable and I couldn't afford it. . . which would've most likely been the case if it were treatable.

Try to find a vet that does alternative medicine. Our family dog was diagnosed with cancer and we were told 1-3 months, 3-6 if we did chemo/radiation. Got a second opinion, found a vet that prescribed a Chinese herb blend (very inexpensive) and we just put her down a little over a year after her diagnosis.

I have no great advice here but I'm going through similar circumstances with a senior dog we adopted with a not-so-great heart and I totally feel you. I wish you and your dog all the best man. Keep us (me) updated on how everything goes, I'm certainly pulling for you both.

Edit: Not exactly on topic, but with the boom of pets adopted in 2020-2021, I think there is going to be a huge demand for vet services. We may already be seeing it now.

 

[RudyVol]

Very sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. We had a German Shepherd when I was a kid who got arthritis in his back legs so badly he couldn't get up. We had to carry him home and get something to put him "to sleep." I still remember it so clearly. It is hard to have no good choices. Our two year old GSD that wifey and have now is so precious to us. I don't know how I could stand news like you just got. Sorry about the vet situation too, of course. You will be in my thoughts.

People, never take your pets for granted.

Always sound advice. Every Rangers game I ever went to it was essential.

May 19, 1536


In 1536, England’s King Henry VIII accused his second wife Anne Boleyn, who had been crowned queen in 1533, of charges including adultery, incest and conspiracy against the king. At her trial, she was found guilty, and on May 19, 1536 she was taken to Tower Green in London, where she was beheaded by a French swordsman, rather than the standard axe-wielding executioner.
Historians believe the charges against her were false, issued by Henry VIII to remove Boleyn as his wife and enable him to marry his third wife, Jane Seymour, in hopes of producing a male heir.

Also, our dog was expected to live just a couple months, but we started giving him serrapeptase. He lived for 2.5 more years. Idk if it was the serrapeptase or if the vet just gave the wrong expectancy, but may be worth looking into.

What did Henry VIII say to his six wives when he met them? "Don't worry I won't keep you long" !
