D-League

[warrior-cat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Today's high may top out around 67°F or so.

It's that time of year again. Picking up rental car around noon today. Bluegrass-bound early tomorrow morning.

Wishing happiness and health to all our fellow D-League members.

Oh man Austin. I ain't eating that. This guy might though.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Oh man Austin. I ain't eating that.

Sorry. I'm fresh outta foodie days for November 19.

Please check back tomorrow.

My only exposure to the ocean was in CA. If you don't know it, the Pacific water is really cold even close to the shore. I finally went to Myrtle Beach and was shocked at how warm the water was.

Canadians and people from way up North like Michigan and Minnesota swim in the Gulf all year long. The average January water temperature around here is 64° I will wade in it up to my waist all year but I will not dive under water from about December to March. I keep my pool heated all year so I can swim in the winter months. I have a cousin who lives in Ohio and they have a large pool and she told me they have to winterize their pool around late September. I can't imagine doing that.

Oh I experienced that California Pacific water a few times. It was cold and rocky. The only people staying in it had on insulated suits.

Good morning D, Read Luke 14 this morning.

I knew there was a full moon last night, got up at 4, looked out the window and the was an eclipse going on, beautiful!!!!

I was scanning through and saw some of the D talking about the BIBLE, there is a lot I don't understand! I often think, if I could go back to one time in the BIBLE, where would it be. I think what was it like when John saw all the things that was showed him in Revelation, the parting of the Red Sea or the day of the Resurrection, just so much happened. I just know I will see JP again one day!!!!!!

WC, went fishing yesterday, caught my limit of trout, 8. The KF&G stock some of the mining pits around here about three times a year. They are not big trout maybe 11-12" long but some of them are thick, good filets. I brought 8 filets home with me, going to fry them up today!!! They are nothing like the 20-24" trout we ctch in Arkansas!!!!

I hope the D has a great day, Prayers for the D and Please keep us in your Prayers!!!!

Good morning D-League

Today's local weather report. We have 64° and partly cloudy. Our high should reach 76°.
Chance of rain is about 6% by midafternoon.

I think I will go ahead and reserve 4 tickets for the bowl game. Outback and Citrus. I received an email this morning that UK is selling mini-packs of men's BB tickets. Interesting, I knew attendance was poor but I had no idea they would be doing this. I pay this much for one game. The package includes 5 games.

My game playing ended with Q-bert............I have motion sickness and most games are out of the question.......maybe some bowling on Wii.......

Do you take anything for it? Many years ago, I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I got so dizzy a few times that I'd pass out and wake up vomiting every couple of minutes for about 8 hours (mostly dry heaves after a while). It took them a long time to figure it out. One neurosurgeon said I had a tumor and wanted to do surgery. I asked for a second opinion and the second guy said the first guy was an idiot.

Over time I found a low sodium diet and plenty of water helped more than the meds. It is pretty well under control and I haven't passed out in years. I keep otc meclizine around and if I catch the possibility of dizziness signs early enough, it helps. It also helps with an upset stomach which I will sometimes notice before I actually get light headed.

Edit: I almost forgot-no caffiene.

Good morning all. It's a cold 32° out this morning in the Buckeye State. Heading up to 40°. Although the forecast is for a sunny day, it's overcast now. Kind of like last night when I was grilling with the radio on. Weather guy came on talking about how it was clear skies....looked up....and the whole sky was covered with big black clouds. Oh well.

Nothing on the docket for today. Y'all have a good day.

Really searching for films with at least a Thanksgiving scene. Here's one I forgot about. Reminds me of the D-League.

Is this one of the greatest car chase scenes in motion picture history.

Good morning! Tee time at 1100. Odds are it will be a little chilly out there this morning. I bought a new cover for my cart last week and today will be the first day I use it. On a sunny day like this, it will get pretty warm in there. I think it's because the Sun is shining on the CO2 from our breath. According to recent science.

Louisville beat up on a woeful Duke team last night and their fans are already transferring that to a win over the Cats. I don't see it happening, but, they've beat us before when they had no business doing so. Only you can prevent forest fires!

So Shaedon Sharpe is going to be enrolled in classes for the Spring and will have every right to play basketball immediately. Cal says he doubts he'll play. ??? Even said something about he might not be in shape to play. LOL I find it pretty hard to believe the kid isn't playing basketball every day. Yeah, we're guard heavy at the moment, but why would you let a talent like that go to waste for half a season? The most important half at that. smh

Have a good day! Fairways and greens if you're so inclined.

Your Meniere's effects & solutions are near-identical to DW's. I'd say she was a degree less-affected as I don't think she ever passed out. But a good number of dizzy/balance episodes for hours. Same low Na, lots of water, meclizine, no-caffeine. Also no alcohol. Her balance issues are now pretty-well under control.

You didn't mention any hearing loss. She's down around 50% in one ear. She understands that Meniere's people almost exclusively are the only ones who lose hearing in just one ear. Long before M set in, she had high wax, stopped-up issues, and sounds in that ear. She still has those with the sounds being biggest issue. Those vary in degree day to day. Weather changes have an impact. She describes her sound as a thumping vs. ringing.

Some folks' lives are crippled by M as they remain constantly dizzy with tons of noise. She frequents the Meniere's Facebook group site.

Hang in there.

Seems like every year our Christmas Cacti think Thanksgiving is Christmas. Maybe because we bring them inside right before the first hard freeze around Nov. 1.

Starting into full bloom now. Not sure whether red or white is more beautiful. Never saw anything so easy to grow. Stick a leaf in damp soil & take off. Well-developed in 2-3 years.

Thanks. I do have hearing loss on the low end of the scale. The ENT said there are a bunch of little hairs in there (forget what they are called). Mine basically rotted away. Had, and still do to some degree, a little ringing in the ear. Being in a crowded room with noise from several different directions can set it off. I don't do facebook.

Crowded rooms of women's voices combined with hard surfaces drive her ear nuts. Same just drives me totally nuts.

Some people don't like to go in salt water because they can't see what is under the surface. No problem with that on the Gulf Coast

I recall that they shoot a lot of "water" movies in the gulf and around the keys as it is some of the clearest water on earth.

I know at our (railroad) deep sea fishing lodge in Boca Grande it was hard to tell how deep the water was because it was so clear.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I just finished off a plate of Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo.

We had that Monday.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good to catch up with the D-League. I've been busy as hell for a fe days clearing the decks so I can take next Monday off on the far end of my Kentucky trip. My daughter and I leave first thing Saturday morning.

The basketball Cats could be tested tonight with Ohio U. They have most of the team back that upset #4 seed Virginia in the tournament. They did lose their PG, but lots of other good shooters.

I see on the other boards that LSU has offered Stoops. That'll be an interesting decision for him - go to a school that fired a guy two years after winning a National Championship, or stay at a school with little realistic chance to win a national championship, if I'm being honest. It'll be a nervous few days around here.

Hope you all are doing well.

Got an email from America's Test Kitchen on deep frying a turkey for T'giving. I haven't done it for years. If you haven't had it...it's really good...and quick. But I found this interesting in their article.....

'We conducted our turkey fryer review with the help of the Lexington (Kentucky) Fire Department (LFD), which fries several hundred turkeys for charity every Thanksgiving with Double H BBQ, a local barbecue joint.'

I lived on the beach at Pismo Beach Ca from 82 to 84. Got in the ocean twice. The first day we got there I ran out into the water and it made my feet hurt it was so cold. I asked someone when the water would warm up and they told me never. I was bummed. I got back in the morning we were going to fly back to Florida to visit her family and I realized I would have a chance to swim in two oceans in one day.

I stayed in the water a lot longer at Ft. Pearce.

Did they have the classic car show back then? One of the best classic car events anywhere.

There is nothing I enjoy more than a classic car show or auction. I showed my cars for over 25 years and collected a lot of hardware. Classic Cars are big around here. There is a large number of retirees from Michigan in the area and most of them worked with cars or built cars in the glory days of Detroit manufacuring. Some of the metal these guys put out is fabulous. Pristine and a labor of love.

When I had my spine surgery I reluctantly sold my 1950 Ford to a car collector in the Hamptons, New York. He never saw the car in person, only photos I sent to him. He wrote me back after it was delivered to him that it was the nicest and cleanest all stock 50 Ford he could find and he had searched America for one. I advertised it in Hemmings

I still go to the local car shows but just to look. I was invited to show my restored 2000 Ford Ranger but I don't know about that. Maybe some day

I have so much ringing in my ear I want to pick up an old style phone and answer it. It is very pronounced when there is very little other noise in the room. Artillery and army engines took their toll. Helicopters too.

#2.... has anybody ever gotten a package from WalMart delivered to the house...items you did not order....but, as you found out, was ordered by a family member and sent to your house by mistake?

Thought I would die laughing. Asked him/her (can't say 😉) if it was my Christmas gift. 😄
