   This thread is to take a break from Dead Cat Bounce and all the smarties up in here. Let's enjoy some of the simpler facts in Angels fandom, like Cris Cyborg, greatest Womens's fighter ever.

   Chiropractors

   January 16 by Taylor

   • 361 views

   Anyone here a chiropractor or related to one? Or someone who has gone to a chiropractor and reaped undeniable benefits? The more I learn about chiropractors, the more it seems like the entire practice is based on faulty science without any actual studies to back up any of the benefits it claims to provide. Even the NIH calls it a pseudoscience. I do know people who have gone/go to chiropractor for their backs, and it seems to provide at least a temporary improvement for their pain. But chiropractors claim to treat everything from migraines to infant gastric reflux.

   Taco trucks 1 2 3

   Up here in Lodi CA. we have an annual taco truck cookoff thats voted on by a panel of judges to determine the "Best Tacos in Town". They get a write up in the paper, a plaque for their truck, and a trophy. The truck that's won the last 4 years sits right down the street from my work, so we call in orders frequently. Anyway, I can literally eat from them day and night. Anyone else as addicted to these places as well? Any experiences of note? What is, or was, your favorite food?

   Anxiety 1 2

   • 45 replies
   • 1.5k views

   Don’t really post on this board often, and I don’t really know what I’m looking for with this one, but I've struggled with anxiety for pretty much my entire life, pretty much at all times, to varying degrees. However for the last 2 months I’ve literally been panicking pretty much all day, every day, with nothing really working. It’s impossible to pinpoint it to one specific thing for me, I get anxious thinking about pretty much everything, from life, to death, to work, to relationships, and everything in between. I’ve been having serious panic attacks, some of which have led to me involuntarily screaming or flailing my limbs uncontrollably or just sprinting out my door…

    Saw Bauer mentioned somewhere else and was trying to remember some of the details. Had to look up the old thread to find news links (whenever I Google it, it's all recent articles, not the old stuff). Sifting through that thread, something stands out.... I really miss reading @Lous posts. His sense of humor and timing were perfect. @stpat373 if you still ever read this board I hope you and the family are doing well.

    My wife and I are strongly considering a week-ish long trip to Ireland in 2024 (sans the kids). We haven't booked anything yet. Any pro tips? Travel, must-see things, hidden gems, etc. We'd stay in Dublin the whole time, and rent a car to get around.

    EDITOR'S NOTE: I know, I know...so delayed. I really don't even know if it makes a difference because I don't know how many people really read my Shenanigans. But, as is the pattern of late, I wrote this last Saturday and didn't finish it. As usual, the choice is publish or dump it. I published it half complete. I'll try to complete it (if only for me self) this weekend. Then write THIS Weekend's Shenanigans hopefully by Monday. But then, who gives a feces? IT'S FRIDAY!!! “Fridays.â€� Remember that show on ABC in the early ‘80s? I barely do. It was ABC’s answer to NBC’s “Saturday Nite Live.â€� It was an odd show and it took a lot of chances. It…

    If you lived in the Los Angeles area and were a fan of Rock Radio in the late 1970s and early 1980s you no doubt listened to Jim Ladd spin his free form rock and roll show on the Mighty Met - KMET - 94.7. He later took his show to Sirius XM on the Deep Tracks channel, which was a perfect vehicle for him to share his love of rock and roll. He was one of a kind, and will be missed.

    Share your gift ideas and purchases here. Today I was shopping at REI and saw these: I thought it was pretty cool, stainless steel insulated cooler cup. YETI is a really high-end brand of coolers. Then I asked the guy, how much is this? He said $30. "Each?" I asked. Anyway the problem with these is, you can't give them as a gift because even though you spent $30, they'll think you spent $10.

    Time to bring this to the new board. Over the years quite a few people on this board have lost serious amounts of weight (you cannot be serious!) and shared their tips and encouragement here. Just wanted to have a thread where people can check in with their stories and ideas for getting into better shape. I was losing weight for a while and then went off the rails over the last few months, but now I'm back to losing (albiet slowly). A new exercise I discovered today: doing jumping jacks with a 5 lb dumbell in each hand (you can also use the big thick rope). I only got two sets of 25 four-count done before I ran out of gas, and I know I'll be feeling them tomorrow…
