Over the last six months my wonderful wife has had a series of serious sinus infections. The myriad of drugs she has been on affected her as badly as the infections. Over time she also noticed that when the infection started her two back teeth on the top left also would ache. Our PCP sent her to Vanderbilt and an excellent ENT found in a CT scan that something was going on with the teeth. He referred her to an excellent oral surgeon who found there was a serious infection in the gum. The infection in the gums was being broadcast to the sinuses. A massive double infection; one affected the other. Surgery was called for. She had to go through two hours of surgery with the ENT to "clean out" the sinuses. When he finished the oral surgeon then went in for two hours to remove the teeth and repair the gums. Surgery was successful and both surgeons found massive pools of infection in the upper sinus and in the gums. If the infection made it to the brain I would have lost my wife. A week past surgery my wife is doing great and post surgical visits with both surgeons show the infection is gone and she is healing well. (Just getting used to chewing without two less teeth.) This has been a scary period for me and for her. I wanted to give thanks to God, extremely caring and COMPETENT doctors, and to my wife for fighting through a difficult time (except through suffering from my cooking!). Just felt the need to share what she has been through, the fear I felt after realizing how bad the infections were, and my gratefulness that she is sitting across from me reading a funny book and laughing because she is feeling better. I invite you to share my thankfulness and my joy. Thank you for reading.3 points

Have a CZ75 pre b up for grabs. Has a fresh cerakote job applied by Iron Horse Gunworks. A great handgun with a great finish. The pre B's are getting harder to come by. Truly a nice piece for the CZ collector. Will come with 2 mags but unfortunately the case went missing years ago. Can send more pics to anyone interested. $550.002 points

That appears to be his regular/business phone book. I don't think its his client list. One name that aircraft manifests have shown went to his island at least twice is glaringly missing. Bill Clinton.2 points

At this point a lot of “conspiracy theories” are more correctly labeled as “plot spoilers”. If it does then apparently I drank it too because I full on believe that Epstein didn’t kill himself. The theory that makes the most sense to me is that he was an intelligence asset that had become too compromised and too visible and was eliminated.2 points

I'd re-blue it. I've had excellent results using a product called Blue Wonder. But you will need a hair drier or heat gun to warm the parts before applying the new finish. There are videos on the internet to show you just how its done.2 points

Thanks. I have a small tear in one rotator cuff, but had a surgery to 'clean up' the shoulder. Dr said i may be able to avoid the cuff surgery. But pain is bad even after the surgery. He's done one actual surgery in Jan, then later in April they put me under to do a shoulder manipulation. Now he's saying another manipulation is called for. Oh and extensive PT between all of these. thats the one pain. the other issues is in the same arm, but in the lower part from the elbow to the hand. that one is neuropathy. They said I had a severely pinched nerve in my neck spine so surgery removed several vertebrae a year or so ago and replaced with titanium spacers. No change in pain at all. Dr said nerve may have been damaged so bad that pain wont stop. Most of the time either the upper arm/shoulder hurts or the lower neuropathic parts hurts or both. Ive been taking 800mg Gabapentin 4 times a day augmented by tylenol and ibuprofen, but as a diabetic, i need to not take as much so as to not damage my kidneys. I sure hope this works longterm. I was hurting really bad last night. Took 2 of the gummies snd didnmt sleep all that well but woke up this morning pretty much not hurting. I took another gummy this morning and will try another one before bedtime. Praying this works as pain doesnt make for a good quality of life.2 points

I planted our garden today, except for the pepper and tomato plants. It’s supposed to be down in the 30’s tomorrow night. I’ll probably plant those Thursday. First time I can remember planting without being drenched with sweat. We have had an actual spring this year! It has been nice. Good luck to all the gardeners on the forum!1 point

That’s the question ain’t it? How can one be convicted of sex trafficking underage girls to nobody at all?1 point

And for some people, taking the meds is what makes them easy going, "regular" people, who are perfectly capable of owning and possessing a gun. In some cases, someone might just not take the meds anymore so they can own guns, which could result in their becoming unstable and doing something rash. Thereby, this law would cause the exact thing they think it will prevent.1 point

Yep, and it was the Jr. that they were claiming was still alive. Faked his death in he plane crash to go undercover. https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2021/11/22/qanon-supporters-pack-site-of-jfk-assassination-in-hopes-jfk-jr-and-maybe-his-dad-will-return/?sh=235cb8ee48a31 point

The Qanon theories actually involved JFK Jr still being alive, or having been killed because of what he knew. Can’t remember exactly but totally weird stuff.1 point

They affect everyone different-but I notice getting achy later in the afternoon- But I have rotator cuff tears in both shoulders and both shoulders are still partly frozen- Which also leads to neck pain-so CBD has a lot of heavy lifting-1 point

I mean, the current head of the CIA met with Epstein multiple times in just 2014 AFTER he was a convicted sex offender. So there might be more than smoke there.1 point

It's absolutely a real thing (in the sense that people believe it). I don't have exact numbers so I'll just pull them out of nowhere. Lets assume that the US population is 330 million. Lets be extraordinarily generous and say that there are 1 million true believers to QANON. That's 1/330 people. Do you know 330 people? Probably. But how many people do most people know "well"? Maybe a dozen or a few dozen if you are very friendly. Lets assume that every single one of us here knows at least one person that subscribes to QANON religiously. How would you ever know it is them if they "censor" themselves? By this point, most of them have realized that spouting their believes alienates themselves from others. So they probably only truly open up to those around them that share their believes. That's why it spreads like wildfire on the internet. I've heard...shall we say...bits and pieces from a few people over the previous few years. To me, it sorta almost seemed like a test. If you've read deeply into something, you can see bits of pieces of it when it shows up. I truly believe that those "bits and pieces" were in a sense a "call and response" type of test to see if others around them would jump onboard with them. The funny thing to me is the absurdity of all of it. For example, there were a bunch of people waiting in Dallas for JFK Jr. to return. And this is just a nutshell from memory, but something along the lines of JFK (been working behind the scenes all these years) was supposed to show up, hand off EVERYTHING to Trump who would do a victory tour for a week and then Jesus would come back. That's...literally a part of what they were talking about, more or less. They've waited for JRK Jr. I think maybe at least twice now. I've wondered at what point do people start losing trust due to this type of prophecy.1 point

European Starlings are a non-native destructive species according to TWRA and can be killed if found to be causing damage and you're the landowner. ... https://www.tn.gov/twra/law-enforcement/wildlife-damage-control.html Being annoying doesn't classify as damage and the OP isn't the landowner. And it'll likely piss off the neighbors.1 point
