Hmm... any medication that makes you have to eat unhealthy sure would make me worry.

I hate brussel sprouts. They taste like farts. And I like asparagus and broccoli, so you know the 'sprouts must be pretty bad. ;)
However I HAVE had really good brussel sprout 'slaw. Not sure what else was in it. Probably carrots and bacon.
 
Damn you got into some bad brussel sprouts if they tasted like farts... That or you have tasted some good farts :D

The grip on that knife as well as a few others, like the bolo and kukri, appear to be "inspired" by the ontario spec plus grips. The blade is definitely "inspired" though.

Here, this one should ruffle a few feathers as well.

That handle looks remarkably "inspired" too. If I recall, there are a few Master Cutlery ESEE knock offs as well.

Probably not diabetes. I would presume he's talking about coumadin (warfarin) which is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). It was developed as a pharmaceutical for helping prevent blood clots and some heart disease. It has also been used as rat poison. When rodents ingest it in sufficient dose, their blood thins so much that it runs out their eyes, ears, etc, and they bleed to death. Loads of fun! I worked with a guy on warfarin and he had to take diuretics as well because the warfarin caused fluid to build up in his lungs. The diuretics were then causing kidney issues... Getting older is not for wimps.

It is warfarin (coumadin is a brand name). It is incorrectly referred to as a blood thinner. It is not. It is an anticoagulant. It was developed in 1948 as a rat/mice killer first, then used as a method to control blood clotting in the 50's. Warfarin does not generally necessitate the use of diuretics, but because of the things warfarin is used to treat, diuretics are usually part of the treatment. I am on both. The warfarin because I have afib. It helps to prevent clotting if I am in afib rather than regular sinus rhythm. The furosemide (diuretic) is because some of my blood pressure medicine causes some fluid build up in my feet.

getting old does suck

That is pretty terrible. I'd lay money that their use of "Army Strong" and other Army-related stuff is not officially sactioned....at least I hope not.

You have this backwards...farts taste like brussels sprouts... :D
 
not sure if I will be on tomorrow but Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I made a special Grind-a-Bear gram just for tomorrows big turkey day!
 
lots of wet heavy snow, up to five inches so far, they claim a foot

power flickers and some internet lossage, came right back though

i expect a lot of trees to break - not hard frozen by any means
 
They claimed we would get snow today.... But its been raining all day, for about 30 minutes it turned to slush and had a light mix of snow in it, then it went back to just rain.

I prefer rain over snow.
 
No rain here!! It's 1° right now. Dipping below zero again tonight and 6 inches of snow tomorrow and a bit warmer. Supposed to hit -15° this weekend. I'm going ice fishing in Friday for sure!! We have plenty of ice now, bit it will be at least a few weeks before I drive out there. I want at least 15" of ice before I do that.

Actually, we did get some rain Saturday and Sunday. It was well below freezing, so driving was pretty fun. I'd just assume that it stay below 10° for the rest of the winter so I don't have to deal with that crap.
