Good summary here but a little long.

Cliff notes:

Drake is a pedo (there is evidence of him hitting on underage celebs). Also he likes to sneak diss other rappers so they all hate him. Also he has pedos in his crew.

Kendrick is a wife beater and a cuck (no proof of this).

Damn, Mooby, can you do a weekly entertainment news page here? That’s a tight summary.

At least for me, and I'm assuming I'm not alone here, it's even more sad when someone younger than you dies. I was born in 1983, just saw a story about someone who died that was born in 1985. He was also married with kids. But even if he was just a single guy, that shit just fucking sucks. And every day you get older, the more this will happen, someone younger than you passing away.

This year several former students died. This happens from time to time but I feel like this year it was more than usual. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to experience.

Switching gears- Last fall I started to get this pain in my second toe after doing a Ragnar relay race. I thought no big deal it will go away it never did. In February I sucked it up and went to a podiatrist. I had a broken toe and it developed a bone spur and it was nerve pain as well as blistering my big toe, my options were a. wear a toe condom or b. get surgery but there is no guarantees the bone spur wouldn't return. I opted to wear a toe condom and did that for three months it felt and looked absurd. Wife told me she was not going out in public with me in flip flop season while wearing a toe condom. So now I am back to sucking it up but I have a race coming up in August so I can't get the surgery.

IMO, skip the race , get the surgery. IMO you're risking more without it.

Thanks but the race is now or never so it is going to happen.

Your back. Each day that goes by is another day it's just a bit easier to tweak your back than it was the day before.

Nobody knows someone who used to have a bad back, it's a lifelong condition. I have a back issue, my T4 is locked and it leaves me uncomfortable. I need a crack and I would be fine but the crack is unattainable. But that's nothing compared to people with real back pain and we all know them.

My old roommate's back is all jacked up. I honestly don't know how she deals with it. She's much tougher than me.

once i had to get a wisdom tooth pulled on xmas eve (emergency)

a old black was in the waiting room with me she said:

your teeth back or feet hurt you can't do nothing

she was pretty much right i can power through most pain but those 3 if they are hurting forget about it

my lower back is always in constant dull pain; i have just learned to live with it but at times it flares up past dull and man that is a solid month of just pushing through the days

NO ONE has a answer for back pain EVERYONE has a opinion how to treat it

I was just diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. I didn't realize how bad I had it or how dangerous it is. Increased chance for heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, etc. Have to sleep with a CPAP machine now.

On a positive note, I am not a mouth-breather. I only have to wear a thing over my nose, and not my whole face, so more comfortable to sleep with. Last night was my 3rd night but 1st where I managed to keep it on all night.

I took 2 of those sleep tests, it's kind of hard to fall asleep with all those sensors attached to your face. It was determined that mine was not bad enough for a CPAP and I was grateful for that.

My test was at home. I only had to wear a monitor on my pointer finger and a couple electrodes on my chest. Not sure why my experience was so much easier than other people's sleep test I have heard about.

Perhaps it is different now. Mine was so long ago it was before we all had cell phones. I know this because I missed a perfect photo op. Across from me was this guy sound asleep with his mouth open as he sat right under the sign that read Washington Sleep Center. Had I had a phone I could have captured that moment.

One thing that help my Wife and her back is the worst. We got a new Mattress a Tempur Pedic , they are expensive as shit around 5-6 thousand but seriously worth it. We've had our second one 8 years and the reason we got that was we went from a Queen to a King. There are some sales and if you can get a good Doctor to write a prescription you can get some more off .
