Is that a Jackson & Perkins catalog? Had a rose-crazy gardener of an aunt eons ago and she swore by them. Cool find!

Ooh, I’m so jelly of working in a barn and near horses! Ouch re: your ankle. Bummer about aqua therapy. It was very hard to find for me too. But it sounds like you’re all set for the task, so here’s wishing you good luck! Do post updates for us concrete jungle types.

I went to a store recommended by a podiatrist. I was assessed and fitted well with good shoes. The foot pain I had disappeared and has remained gone for about 12 years now. I’ll heed a professional who’s been trained in physiology and medicine.

What 30 years in the medical field has taught me is that each and every human being and body is unique. I’m glad you found relief, but please don’t paint with a broad brush that one person‘s solution is everyone’s.

As someone working on getting into shape again after a back injury, the best thing for me at first was walking. Lots of walking. Go to a good shoe store and have someone assess your gait and fit you with a good pair of trainers; makes a lot of difference in how you feel and helps minimize the impact on your joints and back. Also, if you need PT, having it in a pool has been a complete game changer for me. Of course, check with your doc.

Good luck! Keep us posted and give her a banana for me. She’s beautiful 🤩

Exactly! Every time they report this bs, I think “how many provide a living wage?” Hope you find something soon

Rigatoni? And I agree!

Thanks for the info. I never looked into it but glad I know that now. I bought a Sig P365XL and later got a 12-gauge (not sawed off). Love the pistol.

 

Paywalled, as someone pointed out. Apologies. There is a summary video here on YT

This year, in the ongoing series “Health Care’s Colossus,” STAT documented how UnitedHealth wielded its unrivaled physician empire to boost its profits and expand its influence. The year before, in the “Denied by AI” series, STAT exposed how UnitedHealth used an unregulated algorithm to override clinicians’ judgments and deny health care, highlighting the dangers of AI use in medicine.

They show how UnitedHealth has turned health care into an assembly line that treats millions of patients as products to be monetized. And they chronicle how the $5 trillion American health care system came to be so broken.

These are the folks who discovered their AI algorithm and their reporting brought their fuckery to our collective attention

House was broken into while I was at work. They’d gone through the house and messed it up a bit. But when I got to the bedroom, they’d flipped the mattress and taken the pillow cases off. Couldn’t sleep in that bed for maybe six months. Slept on the couch. Even had my bow next to me too for a while.

Cop who showed up told me to get a sawed off shotgun and/or a big dog. Ended up moving 8 months later bc I never felt safe again.

Sorry about the car. That happened to me too, long time ago. We were walking out from work at night on Black Friday and saw them in my car. I caught and tackled one of them and beat the shit out of him. Other 2 the cops got.

Waiting for someone to do a slow mo version of the vid with a soundtrack. Alas, I suck at such things.
