OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

[RangerDoggo]

In the span of six months my wife has gone from "bound to a hospital bed, on a ridiculous amount of oxygen via a rebreather mask, unable to walk, and an emotional wreck" to "enthusiastic and able to go out and live a social life with friends at a party, only needing oxygen to walk around outside and to go to sleep." Just seeing that time span typed out blows my mind. Sure, she still has to recover for a couple of days after a big social outing like we had this weekend, but it's worlds better than it was before.

Generally, there is a light on the other side, even if it's hard to see. So if you're at a low point, hang in there, find stuff that makes you happy or gets your mind off of things, and chug along. I get it's easier said than done but I thought things were hopeless for a while.

That's like a dollar store version of Blondie. Not bad.

that's great to hear and hopefully she continues to show improvement and can shed the supplemental oxygen with continued rehab and time. It's great to hear a recovery story with a positive result. Hang in there and be the best husband you can. We are always here to blow off steam with.

"a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada"

///



The beaver was given official status as an emblem of Canada when “An Act to provide for the recognition of the Beaver (Castor canadensis) as a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada” received royal assent on March 24, 1975.

Considering how many Italian-Americans suddenly start rooting for Italy during big tournaments, the fact that they won't be in the World Cup has probably lost a good amount of revenue for sports bars in this part of the country.

oh forsure. that cant be good for bars and restaurants just now opening up due to covid closures (although the tournament is in november so the bars arent really waiting on the fans to come out in the summer as usual WC .... its being played in qatar, moved to fall due to the heat factor)

...canada / costa rica is starting now...... canada can clinch a spot for the first time since '86 WC with a win

never would i thought to see canada in and italy out during my lifetime.....its unfathomable ...yet here we are

and all this with italy being the defending euro champs.....

its gotta burn bad for them

Well this is awful news. Only 50 years old. I've just recently found this video of the Foo Fighters and 11-year old Nandi Bushell playing drums during Everlong with Hawkins greeting her at the end of the show and having her toss a drumstick to the crowd. He really appeared to embrace the moment with her.

OMG that’s a shame. Hopefully his passing was peaceful.

legends ...half hour of gold

I am so sad about Taylor. Foo fighters is one of my favorite bands and they all are such great musicians but also such kind and caring people. Taylor was an amazing drummer but also an underrated vocalist.

I feel for Dave having to go through something like this again
