  1. I caught up with a couple on hole 15 that was slow for a lot of reasons. I didn't expect to let me through that late, but they could have played faster.

    Due to wet conditions the course was cart path only. Twice one player walked over to the ball with a club and then went back to the cart for a different club and the ball was in the middle of the fairway and not next to the cart path. Just take two clubs.

    The worst was when they cleared 18 and went back to the cart and both decided to replace the head covers while parked next to the green instead of driving away and replacing the head covers at the cart barn.

    You had fusion on 1 and a ti insert the other?  Hmm.  My doc didn't offer me a joint replacement. I was unaware there even is such.  But you say the fuse work better than the ti insert?

    Yep, a fusion on the right and an insert on the left. My doc didn't offer me a joint replacement on the right toe because the joint had been eroded beyond anything but a fusion.

     

    Every once in awhile my left toe bothers me, but not often. I think the replacement joint was a huge success. But, having said that if I were to do it over I'd probably have the left toe fused also. I've had zero issues with the fusion.

  3. I had that surgery six years ago. My joint was gone and I had bone-on-bone, so I had the toe fused. I can't bend the big toe, but I don't notice that. And the pain is gone. It worked out great for me.

    I had a titanium joint inserted in my left big toe, it wasn't' as bad as the right, though it bothers me every once in a while. If I were to do that over I'd have that toe fused.

    Do you have kids? The toe thing is hereditary. My daughter has had surgery on her right foot a couple of years ago, and is currently in a boot on her left foot due to the same surgery, she blames dad of course.

    So sorry about it. Some time ago I had to euthanize my dog - he had a cancer.

    I knew it's the best thing to do, but god it was so hard.

    I still can't recover from it.

    wish you strength

    It is hard, very hard. Sorry for your loss.

    Thanks.

    That is the worst, definitely painful. I'm sorry to hear that.  😢 My wife and I have had our fair share of difficult ones. 

    Thanks.

  7. I have an iPhone SE third generation. It's small and fits well in my pocket and it does everything I need to do with a phone.

    I really like that I can connect the iPhone and my Mac and iPad seamlessly for text messages and email and some apps.

     

    I had a BlackBerry for a work phone for awhile and it was a great phone, too bad BlackBerry fell behind and was slow to update the OS and hardware.

    Just amazingly bad you’re having to go through all of this.  I’m 70 but didn’t need glasses until around the age if 50.  My first 3 times I went to LensCrafters and bought glasses thru them when they ran specials.  Everything was good.

    About the 4th time thru LensCrafters I had a late appt, like around 5:30.  The optometrist thought he was done before me and was really pissed to see me.  He rushed through the process but I walked out with the script because we had heard good things thru Costco.  So I bought from Costco.  They were “off”.  So I paid about $80 for the Costco optometrist to redo the script.  They sent the glasses back with the new script and they didn’t charge me a second time for the new set. 

    The next time, I found a good optometrist in GA, asked before the appt if I’d be able to walk out with the cops riot so I could “shop” for glasses.  They looked at me like I had 2 heads and said “of course”.  All was good and I bought the glasses again thru Costco.

    Last year I had a pretty severe eye issue related to Covid.  Couldn’t see the previous doc but did get in to his partner.  Had a 10am apot and he was running an hour late.  Finally taken to a room with his tech, spent 20 minutes answering her questions and she took a ton of notes.  Then waited another 1/2 hr. Dr. Tiktoc walks in and asks “what’s up?”.  Never bothered to review the notes.  Totally blew me off.  Told me to use Blink eyedrops instead of Systane, then patted himself on the back.  Said he didn’t need to run any tests and no need to put ‘chemicals” in my eyes.  Told me next time to come in immediately.  I told him I tried but their phones were down.  His tech told him they have phone issues.  I said then I’ll just come in without an appt and he said “no” and walked out.  The tech whispered - yes, just come in, we always save spots for emergencies. 

    I called my PCP for a recommendation and he referred me to a group in Athens that was wonderful.  Ran lots of tests, prescribed Xiidra which I ended up getting free. Took 6 weeks fir my eyes to get back to normal.   So just had my eyes checked, walked out with the new script and again bought thru Costco.

     

    What group do you see in Athens?

    Your taking about the Falcons, just look at their franchise history.

    Yep. And it's a sad history the Falcons came into the league in 1966 and Mike Smith, hired in 2008, was the first coach to have back-to-back winning seasons.

    Atlanta Falcons supposedly in final negotiations to hire Rams DC Raheem Morris as their HC who previously served on the Falcons staff.  Not sure if this is good, bad, or just a punt. 

    Raheem Morris:

    4-7 as the Falcons interim head coach.

    17-31 as Tampa Bay head coach.

    21-38 as a career head coach.

    But the players that played for him like and support him and he has two Super Bowl rings. So maybe, hopefully, he is the right guy at the right time.

    You left a lot unsaid, and I expanded on it, any problem with that?

     

     

    Yes.

    You took my literal quote and inserted your comments and suggestions. 

    Create your own posts with your own thoughts and don't expand on mine.

    I’m a fan of EVs, but charging on long trips will add some time (10%) to your total trip time, let’s not suggest there’s no difference. I gave the example before, my trip home in an ICE is 11 hour driving with 1 hour stopping for food, gas and bathrooms, so 12 hours total. In an EV it’s 11 hours driving with 2 hours high speed charging, and we take care of food and bathroom breaks while charging, so 13 hours total. Fortunately Tesla chargers are always near food and or bathrooms. And with over 22,000 Tesla high speed chargers in the US, I have yet to need to find some other charger…

    …Destination chargers at grocery stores, restaurants or hotels are almost always quite a bit slower - hours typically, not “10-15 minutes.” Often not well maintained either and store employees aren’t much help. Not good for trip planning. Buc-ee’s are a notable exception, but we don’t all have them in our states.

    OTOH I never lose ANY time to gas up in every day driving. I charge at home and I can have a full tank of electrons every morning with zero travel/wait time if I want to. I take less than a half dozen trips a year that force me to charge away from home.

    Where did I suggest "there’s no difference."

     

    And I didn't say “10-15 minutes.”  I said "usually 10-15 minutes" and that's been my experience.

  13. Planning trips in the Tesla is a breeze. Charging stops are usually 10-15 minutes, about the same amount of time it would take me to fill up the ICE and visit the restroom. And Tesla has the best charging infrastructure of all the EV manufactures, which is why a, sadly, number of them are switching to the Tesla connector soon.

    I did take a trip to Murphy, NC and there were plenty of free chargers in only one location in town, although they were slow.

    The best charging stations are Buc-ee's and they have a number of chargers at each location.

    Just curious as how y'all feel about the environmental impact of EVs? Cobalt and lithium mining create as much if not more pollution than petroleum and battery disposal will be a nightmare. I fully understand the need to get away from petro, however are EVs the ultimate answer? Curious to hear the opinions of those more educated on the issue. 

    I have a 2023 Tesla Model 3 and the battery uses zero cobalt.
