re: Forehead wrinkles

Posted by TU Rob on 5/23/24 at 2:13 pm
All botox does is relax the muscles so that you don't wrinkle up your face as much by not moving the muscles as much. It started a long time ago as a medicine for muscle spasms and other things. I've had injections in my back a few times, but what they typically use in the face is a very small ser...
Order in the app ahead of time, and if you arrive and there are more than 3 cars in line, switch your pickup from drive thru to counter or curbside. BK is also bad about telling people not to pull around yet once their order is taken. It is bad employees trying to game the timer system. That just...

re: Treadmill or stationary bike?

Posted by TU Rob on 5/16/24 at 8:25 pm
I have a Peloton and love it. That being said, if I were buying something now it would likely be a rower. I ride every other day and lift on the days between. Treadmills take up a good bit of space as well but many of the rowers fold up to a compact footprint when not in use. ...
I think some of the larger Echo shows can do Zoom. I know they can call other Echo/Amazon devices. I’ve called my kids kindle fire tablet before just to test it out. Or you can get the Alexa app on any phone and it can call those as well. ...

re: Montgomery AL surrounding areas

Posted by TU Rob on 5/15/24 at 2:16 pm
[quote]Troy but outside of your 30 minutes.[/quote] Depending on traffic, it might actually be a better commute into Montgomery than the Prattville/Millbrook areas. You have to take 65 South into Montgomery from those. Also depends on where the office is. If you're working in downtown Montgome...
Who is going to be the center will have more of an impact than coaching. It seems like half of his big plays running last year were a result of him having to improvise after fielding a grounder or lunging sideways to catch an errant snap. ...

re: ESPN Releases Week 1 game times

[quote]Clemson and Georgia at Noon is kind of a bummer.[/quote] Yes, but Labor Day weekend and having a dome to play it in means you can have that one at any time. If that was a home game it would probably be in the evening, but neutral site gives it more flexibility. ...

re: Shark Bite Fittings

I've used them a few times, but down in the basement where all of my water lines run along the joists. If there's a failure there, I just have wet concrete in my garage. We had some renovations done about 10 years ago, and they used the brass compression rings. I had one of those fail and create ...
I've got an infrared temperature gun that comes in handy in these situations. Open the fridge and aim the laser at the milk jug. If it is still in the low 40s I'd keep it, anything higher than that I'd probably toss all dairy and meat. ...
Not a ton, but I've had stitches more times than I can remember. Left collarbone when I was about 5 or 6. Dislocated a pinky toe, broken/jammed fingers a few times, and took a basketball to the nose in high school. Ended up needing surgery later to repair a deviated septum. ...
[quote]Why don’t they have a highway that takes you to the beaches? Had to drive country roads for 3 hours to get here.[/quote] [quote]Panama City beach[/quote] 65 South to Montgomery, then you get on US Highway 231 and that takes you straight into PCB. It isn't interstate, but definitely not...

re: How do you season your scrambled eggs?

Posted by TU Rob on 5/13/24 at 11:36 am
I use 3 large eggs, and cook them in salted butter or bacon fat. Most of the time some fresh shredded colby jack, and I add the fresh cracked pepper at the end....

re: Constipation

Posted by TU Rob on 5/13/24 at 10:54 am
My oldest son had GI issues that lingered for over a year. TMI, but he was getting backed up to the point that it enlarged his colon, and the blockage was still there, but new poop was seeping around it. If what you're dealing with is chronic, you may want to go see a GI doc. If it is occasional,...

We've had several cars in the family last that long. Usually starts out with an older person driving it for 5 years or so and passing it down to a younger person. I had a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 that I got new when I was in college, and drove it for over 4 years. When I got out of grad school, my dad...
We’ve become so accustomed to them that it feels out of place now when you’re at a stadium without one. We were at the state track meet this weekend in Alabama and the little stadium they hold it in doesn’t have a video board. They don’t usually show live videos or replays of track, but the heat and...

re: Outdoor TV Recs

Posted by TU Rob on 5/1/24 at 10:51 am
I'm on my second old TV from inside being used as my covered deck TV. Bought a 50 inch to hang on the living room wall and moved a decade old 46 inch out there, back in 2020. It lasted until last fall. The screen was still fine, but no sound was working. I tried different inputs, from a Firestic...

[quote]Can anyone point me to info on what I can do? Everything I find is all about back injury. Basically, I know I can’t deadlift or squat, but is there a variation I can do? Like belt squats, leg press, lunges, glute bridge, DB RDLs? [/quote] Figure that out during PT. You will want to addre...

I mean, rematches in the championship game (LSU vs Bama) is what started this whole playoff to begin with. Then we ended up with rematches in title games (UGA vs Bama). Sometimes it is just going to happen. With conferences going to 16 teams and still having title games, your top 2 in the confere...
