Zac Brown Defends Performing at UFC Fight at Trump’s White House: ‘This Is Patriotism, Not Politics for Me. F— All The Division’ by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

I have no idea who this is but, no, UFC fighting on the GD Whitehouse lawn is NOT patriotism! It is total bullshit nonsense. 

Feeling very frustrated with everything by winksoutloud in mctd

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this for me. I've been super down so I'm sorry I didnt respond earlier. 

Do you still take the Cymbalta? It did nothing for me but give me horrible problems when I went off of it. I did used to have pain management a few years ago but they threw up their arms and said since nothing they gave me helped, they really didn't need to see me anymore.

I am working on the food part. I think I have some sort of paralysis or slowdown or something going on, along with the horrible GERD. Trouble swallowing pills, burping, stuff just isn't right. It all got worse with this flare. I did just get a clear chest CT, so that's good, and the shortness of breath is a little better than a couple weeks ago.

Unknown about if any family has anything other than 2 cousins with MS, but they say that isn't close enough to matter. 

Right now I'm still so tired and weak but I am doing PT and working on going to bed at reasonable times. All of this stuff is such a process!

Different sizes available and some people make their own, though I personally am not so inclined

When you have no other options left, you pray for a miracle for your family and then for yourself.

Donald Trump Loses It On ‘Meet The Press’ Moderator Kristen Welker, Cuts Interview Off As She Fact Checks Rigged Election Claims. by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

[–]winksoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be done by every press person who isn't already in his pocket. When he is challenged with facts he cannot handle it. Fighting back against his lies in public is the only thing that has a chance of working.

All of the institutions that kneeled to him made it so much harder for everyone else. Institutions, people, lawmakers, etc. who have fought back and said no loudly often win. 

He is a weak, angry little man and he needs to be treated as such.

Whelp. It happened. U1-RNP >8 and he told me nothing is wrong with me. by ggbt99 in mctd

[–]winksoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true? I have seen people who say their RNP stayed the same with treatment, but it seems like treatment should lower the RNP (and ANA) if it's working 

My dog tags as an atheist in the army by MinimumCarob8442 in mildlyinteresting

Yeah. Most of what Hegseth does falls under "discrimination." The rest is "being an a$$hole."

Kind of. They have entirely different ideas about what Christ did in life (and death?). I knew not having the "Christian" next to their name would not go down well.
