Wine snobs are obnoxious but they don’t stink like cigar snobs.
I would think Congress would have to pass a law banning drug company ads on tv.
Would never happen,too many congressmen and senators get campaign donations from pharma.

“air conditioned cab or open cab?
Guy that has done some mulching jobs for me started with an open cab.
After he got into bumblebee and Yellowjackets a time or two he traded it for AC cab.

re: Providing the Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth When the Mother Doesn't Have Hepatitis B

You posted the pre 1986 vaccine schedule and then the post 1986 schedule which has significantly increased the number of vaccines.”(Total through age 18 was often cited as 50-70+ doses ……….compared to roughly two dozen or fewer in the 1980’s”
The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act granted vaccine manufacturers significant immunity from civil lawsuits regarding vaccine-related injuries or deaths.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recieves major funding from Merck,Moderna,Pfizer and Sanofi(vaccine manufacturers).
To become board certified as a pediatrician one must pass an examination administered by the American Board of Pediatrics(a seperate entity).
The AAP and ABP are seperate,distinct organazations that collaborate closely to set standards,educate pediatricians and maintain board certification.
Make sense now?

The Food Bank of Central Louisiana uses my church in Grant parish once a
month to distribute food to the poor.I have been going to help for a good many years now.
For many years a portion of the food was in boxes labeled as donated by Catholic Charities.
Couple years ago no more food from Catholic Charities,I can only assume they were spending their money helping illegal aliens invade the U S.
Pisses me off.

“Do you realize how many Catholics vote Republican?”
Do you realize how many Catholics vote for Democrats.I went to Catholic schools 12 years,also come from a large Catholic family many of which go to church faithfully,recieve communion,etc.
I never bring up politics or religion,don’t really Iike to discuss religion or politics.Invariably some of them will bring it up to me,usually to bash Trump.
The conversations always go the same way,”you vote for Democrats,the party that advocates for abortion,want to cut off little boys penises,etc.”
Then I ask them what kind of mental gymnastics they go through to vote for politicians that advocate for all sorts of perversions that the Catholic Church condemns.Then they start getting pissed,they can’t justify it.
Then I tell them “you are a cafeteria Catholic which is a nice word for hypocrite.”
They really get pissed off then the conversations always ends and they don’t speak to me anymore which is fine with me.
My background is I was a cradle Catholic,altar boy,12 years Catholic school,stationed in a Catholic country(Spain),worked in a Catholic hospital.
The hypocrisy I experienced in all the above soured me on the Catholic Church.There are hypocrites in every religion but what I experienced was off the charts.Besides,there were things I was taught I didn’t believe,had some bad experiences also.
Been Southern Baptist good many years now,feel much more comfortable.

“Will someone tell Trump thousands of Christians have died in Nigeria”
You need to get your head out of your arse,also need to get over your TDS.
On Christmas Day 2025 US forces launched air strikes in Nigeria against ISIS targets to protect Christians He warned of many more air strikes if the violence against Christians persisted.
As of early 2026,Trump has taken a hardline stance against the killing of Christians in Nigeria,threatening further military action.
Trump warned the Nigerian government if it does not protect Christians from radical islamists,the U.S. may intervene.
Trump instructed the Dept of War to prepare for potential action,also threatened to cut off all aid to Nigeria if they don’t intervene.
The pope has condemned the cruelty and expressed deep sorrow.Has also prayed for peace in Nigeria,describing rural Christian communities as “relentless victims of violence”Also the Vatican is monitoring the situation,for what ever that is worth.
I’m not saying prayers might not work to stop the violence against the Christians but ISIS members killed in air strikes certainly won’t be killing any more Christians.
AI overview:”Based on the search results,there is no evidence the Pope praised Donald Trump for intervening in Nigeria”
The pope has his own case of TDS it seems to me.

“We have been injecting CO2 into thes same formations for 50 years”
For enhanced oil recovery,not sequestration,Big difference.I don’t understand why people don’t understand the difference after all the discussion about sequestration that has been going on for awhile now.
The only sequestration project so far is in Decatur Illinois at an Archer Daniels Midland plant.It started leaking despite the “experts” assurance it wouldn’t.ADM was monitoring it for leaks but failed to report it for 5 months.

“Why does Trump care so much?”
Trump is thin skinned,he doesn’t like to be criticized by anyone.One of his flaws.
I voted for him 3 times and don’t regret it at all.Especially considering the alternatives.
Trump is an imperfect human being but I am convinced he only wants what is best for America and Americans.
Take Iran,he is the only President that has had the balls to deal with Iran For 47 years Iran directly or through it’s proxies has been killing Americans and every President including Reagan has been kicking the can down the road.
I just wish he would consult Melania before he makes posts.

He’s full of shite saying the CO2 forms a gel unless it is mixed with a surfactant or polymer.
What they want to inject in the ground is compressed to a supercritical state( density of a liquid but viscosity and diffusitvity of a gas).
It is very much a danger to our aquifers,esp.considering the large number of abandoned oil wells in Louisiana.There are thousands of them.

I like to stop every 2 hours,get out and stretch my legs,walk around a little bit.Don’t want to get a blood clot in my legs.
I have just about quit wearing jeans anymore.I discovered Wrangler All Terrain pants.More comfortable than jeans,cooler in hot weather,warmer in cool weather.Have several different colors.

re: Ideas: best or most memorable wedding gift you received
Posted by LSUA 75 on 4/12/26 at 9:25 pm to financetiger
About the only wedding present I remember was from friends that were in bad financial condition due to him being diagnosed with myasthenia gravis.
She mounted our wedding invitation on a plaque with an artificial flower( think it’s called a collage).They apologized that they couldn’t afford to buy us a “proper” present.
It hangs on a wall in our bedroom,I consult it every year when our anniversary gets close.Married 45 years and I haven’t missed an anniversary yet.So I consider it our best present.

re: New research into people in a vegetative state
Posted by LSUA 75 on 4/12/26 at 9:04 pm to northshorebamaman
The way brain death was determined when I was working an EEG was performed 3 days in a row.If it was flat all 3 days they were diagnosed brain dead.
Another test that was done is called cold caloric reflex test.Ice water was injected into the ear canal.No response(eye shift towards the ear) was indicative of non functional brainstem and brain death.There was always a couple of witnesses to the cod caloric test.
I was always confident that if a pt was declared brain dead they actually were.
In other cases such as a ( usually elderly) pt with a massive stroke,severe brain injury such as a gunshot wound to the brain etc.pts.would still have brain stem function.But there was no chance of regaining consciousness and dependent on life support family was given option of withdrawing life support.
My wife and I have advance directives that if we get in a condition that we can’t survive without life support it should be withdrawn(pull the plug).
Neither of us want to continue to live in a vegetative state.
Sometimes pts.would have advance directives that they didn’t want to be maintained on life support,but the family would override it.

“you don’t see people getting mouth cancer from it all that often”
Guy I went to high school became a oncologist.I asked him about oral tobacco and mouth cancer.He told me he had never seen mouth cancer from leaf tobacco,all the ones he had seen were from snuff type products such as Skoal.
Leaf tobacco such as Red Man,Levi Garrett,has a lot of sugar added so it does cause cavities.

Not sure but it certainly hasn’t hurt us any.
