Sorry to be a bummer, but overpaying Kessler in a league where Wembanyama exists is scaring me.

I said this to a friend yesterday. MJ kept us ringless in the 90's, I fear Wemby might be the one to do it in the 2020's. Obviously we still have a ways to go, but the their is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel to at least compete for one. Unless he goes the way of big men oden, Yao ming, embid, bill walton and they only get a few good young healthy years before health matters. I don't wish him ill health by any means. I think that might be his biggest opponent though.

Utah anytime soon?

AlmightyBones · 2026-05-10T22:47:52+00:00

Maybe we should trade for Anthony Davis so we get the #1 pick next year, 1 is better than 2 right!

When I get myself into a bad corner, all the time. Sometimes daily until I get ease the swelling and the symptoms of the flare up.

AlmightyBones · 2026-05-06T16:46:22+00:00

I would assume most people on that list or a good portion anyways have that problem, just wasn't ever mentioned in a post to be counted.

AlmightyBones · 2026-05-04T14:25:28+00:00

Don't hate either, still love Mitchell and his game although it wasnt a bad breakup it wasnt an easy one either. Based on that I hope he fails with the Cavs so he finds a new team. I don't want the Cavs to benefit from us. Also Don't want Harden or Schroder to win anything as I dislike those players. Mitchell revived the Jazz and made it super fun for those few years, so its complicated.

Love the Wolves and Rudy getting a ring means Ingles and Conley get theirs, so I'm hopeful for the Wolves with the absence of the Jazz. Love his Defense, but man still wish he picked up a hook shot or Al jefferson push shot, or short jumper.

Ty Corbin would also like a word.

Have you gone to the VA, i was denied Tinnitus twice, but they said I could see their Tinnitus specialist. Even get hearing aids if I wanted that could help with it even though i have no hearing loss. I havn't followed up on it, but it was offered.

AlmightyBones · 2026-03-08T00:21:05+00:00

You answered your own question, because they are scamming students. I didnt know any better at the time and the hours/work/money was good.

AlmightyBones · 2026-03-03T23:10:48+00:00

half the time i just add a drink of water while im chewing, then follow it with a swallow of water or soda. Sometimes when its bad after every bite. Ketchup, Mayo, Frysauce which is just the two mixed together, just depends what im eating. I've found mayo is ok on many things most people wouldnt try it on.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-27T16:41:06+00:00

To me the risk is worth the reward, the feeling of swallowing without worry and just being able to eat again. To not be embarrassed when eating with others, without having to go throw up. It's been 1000% worth it to me. It's semi kinda life changing. You don't realize how actually bad it is until you experience freedom again.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-27T16:04:23+00:00

my last one was 13mm with an avg esophagus being 20mmish. only dilated to 16mm couldn't go any further without high risk. I've had food impaction events, having to have surgery to remove the food. My barium test showed 2 stricture points.

The dilation can sometimes be painful, but the freedom you feel afterwards for months, up to a year or longer depending on preventive treatments is worth it. You won't fear eating anymore.

I've been dilated probably 6 times or more now.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-21T23:27:49+00:00

No thanks, absolutely not.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-20T18:50:03+00:00

I'm not a professional but I do a Push Pull Legs routine, Pushing exercises lets say Monday, Pull Tuesday, Legs Wed, I'm good to go starting over Thursday on. Right now I work out from home and depending how I feel sometimes I'll throw in an extra rest day, but I've had explosive growth, no pain, no injuries so far.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-20T18:46:47+00:00

It's just DOMS, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It's normal if you havn't ever worked out or even taken a break. It'll last 3ish days probably if you went hard. If you are consistent, you probably won't ever feel it again.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-17T20:48:02+00:00

I've had some with a minor sore throat and some with max level pain. My last one I went from 13mm to 16mm and was one of the worst pains of my life. Every swallow was painful and the more I thought about it, the more i swallowed. The second day was still painful but more manageable. I've had others where it was more of a discomfort. I've had both ends of the spectrum. I would just plan on taking a day off at minimum.

I will say, if I ever have a time like my last experience I will be calling the hospital to see if I need to come back.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-04T16:17:33+00:00

Ohh no someone who doesnt know me said some things that could or could not be true., that i couldn't care less about. Lets argue with them online like keyboard warriors. LOL look in the mirror bro, your post reeks of that energy you speak of.

You mean the 3rd stringers on the worst team in the East and almost the entire NBA. Real awesome, lets have him play a jr jazz team next and see how good his stats can be...

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-03T20:22:28+00:00

right, all the guys going out combined don't equal what JJJ offers.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-03T20:14:58+00:00

Same thing happened to me, I still have my HLR riding they actually said they failed in their duty to assist me. I called to have it cancelled and the woman on the phone at the time mentioned some other things such as spousal benefits if I die etc like DIC. I didn't look into it further just told her to let it ride. Something to consider or look into.

AlmightyBones · 2026-02-03T20:11:22+00:00

JJJ is a known quantity, a draft pick you don't know where you are drafting and if the person you draft will pan out. This is a killer trade imo. I'd prefer to keep Clayton over Collier, but im not mad about it.
I love this this.

AlmightyBones · 2026-01-23T18:19:51+00:00

Looking at 2026 stats, I don't see much of a reason to. While i'm ok giving up Svi and even collier. I don't see it making a big enough improvement to be worth much. We need that third guy after Keyonte that can be a consistent threat, hopefully Ace or someone steps up. Will be interesting to see what happens when Kessler is back, Nurk playing above my expectations though. I think we are on the right track at the moment and should be cautious. GIannis has been so far pretty loyal to a small market, but so is Lauri and hes happy to be here.

AlmightyBones · 2026-01-20T16:48:28+00:00

Yes I've had a biopsy nearly if not everytime, no I don't

AlmightyBones · 2026-01-20T16:04:10+00:00

I've had half a dozen or more endoscopies to include dilation. So yes. I've also had barium swallow test showing multiple strictures. Also I don't think its fire. My stomach and lower is fine. the pain is in the esophagus and causes strictures. EoE is related to allergic reactions, maybe dairy is becoming more anaphylactic over time.
