My mom liked that movie. She introduced me to it after she moved in with us. Really cheesy movie but fun to watch.

After he retired Alzado admitted using steroids and said they caused his cancer. Idk if they actually did or not but he was one of the first NFL players I remember who admitted using them.

I'm sending big hugs. My mother-in-law went through that exact tragedy, except my sister-in-law was in a one-vehicle wreck that she caused. Everyone else in the car survived.
Holidays were always different after that. We missed her, but we knew she was in a better place, and that brought us some comfort.

I am so sorry. No parent should have to mourn the loss of a child.

My first baby had a very large head. I had an episiotomy, and stitches to repair it (nothing extra). Everything went well.

Yes. They just built the new city on the ruins of the old one.

The level that Schliemann declared to be the one associated with the events in the Iliad was, in fact, a lot older than the Mycenean era, during which the Trojan War would have taken place.

Reply to comment by notenoughroomtofitmy in LPT: Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean you have to spend it with family/loved ones who are detrimental to your mental health. Happy Thanksgiving! by SirCSquared
Seconding this. The family I was born into was very dysfunctional, but the family I married into, and the family we raised, is very close and loving. Our grown children live in different parts of the US, but we make time to spend together. And we traveled 1700 miles to spend Thanksgiving with our family. We're retired, so we have more time to travel.

It's often used in contexts like this. It works well if you don't listen to the lyrics too carefully

Reply to comment by triffid_boy in How do medical researchers obtain lab animals with diseases like specific forms of cancer which arise spontaneously? Do they raise thousands of apes and hope some eventually develop the disease? by userbrn1
A young man who had spent much of his life in and out of hospitals with sickle-cell anemia is now being observed for a happier reason: he no longer has the disease. Genetic editing enables him to produce normal red cells. And his germ cells were edited as well, so he doesn't need to worry about having children with SCA.
To him and his family, the risk was worth it. He's just another healthy young man, with the prospect of a normal life.
