That 9 pm diagnosis sometimes saves a life! Will not go into details here, as we are not adversaires, just two people with different opinions and views on situation handling. You are absolutely right about people having other choices. No invitations for debates here......it's not Sorrento's pizza which is a forever entertaining debate! A guy who posts on other CC threads about Sorrento’s pizza being awful was on several RCI cruises that I have been on .On every cruise he was sitting at a table eating much more pizza than I did. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good athlete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Connaughton#High_school_career Yes, you edited after I commented. He is a good guy too. He has his own foundation. He has donated a lot of time and money to the HS he and my son both attended. There had been a long planned build of a new field house and sports complex, he donated the money for the basketball court that is now named for him. He runs clinics at the school every year too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a very close friend I met when we were 13. We remained besties until we drifted apart in our 30s. We were so close, so connected. A few years ago, I found her on fb and we reconnected. What a huge disappointment! I called and all she spoke about was Medicare, medical issues, her babysitting grandkids, etc. She never once mentioned all the good times, the "trouble" we got into, boys, school, camp, etc. When I started a topic she morphed into her life as it is now and all its problems. I hung up and quickly called one of my closest friends who was part of our group way back when. She couldn't understand it either. People change and I'm glad I can still laugh and remember those sweet innocent times with other friends. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that most of those kids will get burned out and never play high school baseball. High school baseball is barely a thing in Canada.

In a perfect world after my knee replacement in November I’m going to get back into the gym and workout so I can lose even more weight and hopefully get off the blood pressure meds. I started eating garlic daily several months ago, and my BP has dropped so much that I plan to talk to my primary about cutting back on the meds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put it in food or even cook it whole (which DH does often and says it is good like that). Or do you take it raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is big on garlic. When we get together in the morning for coffee I cannot sit across the table from him. No idea how his patients tolerate it. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
