The doctor I was seeing sold his practice and moved on to other things. One thing I liked about him is that depending on the illness, you could ask for a prescription to be sent to the pharmacist and not have to go in for an office visit. Many doctors to this. The new practice is not a believer in such a thing. Appointments are difficult to schedule, and I’m thinking the only reason they refuse to call in any prescription to a pharmacist without an office visit is purely financial on their part. There’s a part of me that can’t blame them for trying to make a profit, but then there’s another part of me that think they should be flexible.
BoyGeeding asked who was stronger, He-Man or the Hulk. I’m going with the Hulk. He-Man may be considered the “most powerful man in the universe,” but, the Hulk’s “capacity for physical strength is potentially limitless due to the fact that the Hulk’s strength increases proportionally with his level of great emotional stress, anger in particular.”
I would also say the Hulk is strong than Superman, but Superman would in a battle of outsmarting him. See, the Hulk gets stronger the more stressed and angrier he gets, Superman would find a way to keep him from getting too stressed and angry, limiting his strength, and then duping him into something.
I miss how cartoons like He-Man and GI Joe would end with some sort of recap detailing a life lesson displayed in the show.
And this should pull at your heart strings, and a fitting tribute:
In lieu of a funeral, Dewdney asked that people read to children
Dallas DA Susan Hawk will finally resign due to mental health reasons. Say what you will, but for her to voluntarily step down takes courage.
All the ITT Technical Institutes are shutting down. When I was a kid and was stuck watching old reruns of shows like ‘Get Smart’, ‘Hogan Heroes’, and the like, I used to see their commercials ad nauseam. One that stood out was the guy that graduated from high school, going to ITT, and then moving in his new apartment to start a career when all his friends were drudging through college.

I’ve mentioned how I enjoy watching the CBS sci-fi dramedy ‘BrainDead’ and how I get a kick that every episode starts with a quirky musical recap. WifeGeeding doesn’t watch the show, but she wants to watch and listen to each musical recap before I delete it from the DVR. It turns out she’s not the only one who doesn’t watch the show but watches only the musical recaps. Here’s the latest which has a bit of a ‘Family Guy’ gimmick.
“To say I’m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement,” Aikman said. “Clearly, [Fox Sports president of national networks] Jamie Horowitz and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to building a successful organization. I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless.”
Barry, over at LiberallyLean.com, is standing firm in his belief that Longhorn fans were booing Tyrone Swoopes when he entered the game and not yelling “Swoop” or “Swoopes”. It’s my understanding he thinks it’s because Texas fans have been thirsting for a new QB and they were upset when Swoopes entered the game, but I doubt that since the “18-wheeler” package was used successfully at the end of last year and was hinted at being used again this year. I wonder if Barry thought Dallas Cowboys fans were booing Daryl “Moose” Johnston and not yelling “Moose!” every time he touched the ball upset Emmitt wasn’t getting the carries.

I skimmed an article about the Miss America pageant and thought this line was ironically funny, “In the bizarro world of Miss America, losers smile and winners sob.”
IBM’s Watson analyzed hundreds of horror movie trailers to figure out what makes an audience jump. Editors don’t need to worry about losing their jobs quite yet: The AI system suggested its ten “favorite” clips and a living, breathing human being edited it all together.
I’ve written about how much I like the new Vikings stadium. On last night’s season finale of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ they gave us some great viewing angles of the field, that place is something special.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that the new requirement is in place to help block the use of stolen and shared tickets. Older children and adult visitors have already been having their fingers scanned for years.
Approximately six months after Tim Brummel of Atlanta had a vasectomy, he noticed his wife start showing symptoms of being pregnant.
That’s when it dawned on them that after a five-month follow-up examination with the clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, Tim was never called back about the results. When he called them to check, he said they told him there may have been a snag in the procedure.
Tim said he then wanted to confirm his suspicions without his wife finding out, so he drained the toilet one night and tried his luck with a urine pregnancy test the following morning. When it came up positive, he decided to surprise his wife with the good news and capture her reaction on camera.
I binge-watch a lot of the second season of USA’s ‘Mr. Robot’ and I think it’s just as good as the inaugural season. Going into it, I was wary it was going to be hard to follow as many have faulted character hallucinations and flashbacks confusing, but I’m able to follow easily. Craig Robinson, best known from ‘The Office’, is surprisingly convinceable in his role.
I’ve never been a best man in a wedding, and only once have I been a groomsman, but I put an asterisk next to that because the bride had so many bridesmaids I feel like I was only included to fill up a slot. Yesterday my cousin called and asked for me to be a groomsman, it felt nice he would even consider me. But then again, I don’t know how many bridesmaids there are, so I may just be taking filling a slot again.
92 percent of the seats will be shaded by a giant canopy, as opposed to 17 percent in the past. And the grass is new for a pro football field. It’s called Paspalum Platinum grass. The Dolphins say it grows well in shade and in hot, humid climates, and is thicker than normal turf grasses.
Yesterday on ‘CBS This Morning’ was a segment on the bison, or American buffalo. To my surprise, it was stated that some bison were crossbred with cattle. The segment wasn’t about the crossbreeding but that’s what caught my attention. Such an animal is called a beefalo. Here’s a picture of one.
