So Capt. Royce Williams was Lt. Pete Mitchell's old man, eh? Oh, and give him the medal yesterday.

Three teens involved? Guaranteed somebody talked it up.

Best Pocket Knife?
I have one of these that I had forgotten about on an old keyring. There are many times over the last couple of years it would have been handy to have. Going searching for it now.

Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
I said like I’m over 50, not like I’m under 15.

Can someone explain the Empire Today one to me like I'm white and over 50?

Trust this guy. He's pre-med. Literally. As in before modern medicine. But seriously, that is likely part of the issue. Stick with it.

Three in a month is alarming. Do you have a blood pressure cuff at home? if not, get one. Take your BP before getting up and again about 30 seconds after getting up. That can help identify or rule out orthostatic hypotension. The blind staggers are all fun and games until you drop and crack your skull or pelvis on the way down. Be careful.

Tennessee School Shooting
I saw a report somewhere yesterday that said one of them was leading her classmates out because of the fire alarms, and either didn't hear the teacher calling them back into the room or didn't get back in time. Doing what she was trained to do. Heartbreaking.

Tennessee School Shooting
This doesn't exactly qualify as news, but I'm sharing it anyway. My daughter (15, no pics) plays school and club volleyball. I just got an email from the club director that said one of the 9 year old victims had just completed their club's "Little Diggers" youth program. It's dusty up in here all over again.

Wait, is that allowed in CR?

Mass Shootings
I get what you are saying here, but in this particular instance I think you are splitting hairs. As is already public due to the messages she sent to a former classmate minutes before it began, this was a suicide mission. She fully intended to make sure she didn't leave that building alive, either via a self-inflicted shot or suicide by police, which was likely to happen if she raised any of the three weapons she had on her regardless of her intended target. If that's not the only part of this incident that wasn't handled textbook perfect, I'm OK with it. And, since we can't see whats happening in the blurred portion, we likely will never know.

Youth Minister's (and other pervs) Thread of Shame
Holy schnikies, I am 99% sure I went to high school with the dude in the first post. Hadn’t heard about any of this. Wow.

I could respond to this, but it would be more appropriate in the "Wives and the stupid shit they say/do" thread. Recently. Her mind was blown. SMH

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
I’m actually more impressed by the take-off at the end than the landing.

This, especially if you are currently taking anything for HBP. Could be time to start weaning off of it. The blind staggers seem like no big deal until you end up with a skull fracture on the way down.

AMMO THREAD
I was inspired by AB’s post and ordered an ammo can full of 500 9mm Federal and two bricks of 325 each of 22’s (also Federal) to qualify for the free shipping. To my doorstep for $232.23. Tin cans, beware!

Hope it's just a calf strain, and not a full blown achilles. Google "thompson test achilles" for a very low tech test to see if its still connected or not. either way, life will suck for a bit. Go get it checked and get the appropriate walking boot with the heel evevated, and hope that's all you need an not surgery.
