Caleb Williams completed the Hail Mary of all Hail Marys but somehow the Rams won in OT.

But Wilf goes to Hinds concerts. That should count for something.

Yes, I have ordered it 4x, and it has been excellent. Their weekly offers usually show up on the site on Tuesday at 1 pm PST, I usually order on Wednesday midday/or Thursday morning. My other source is also very good- https://www.regalisfoods.com/products/maine-bafun-uni?variant=38130516754629 But they seem to run out quickly. And their shipping can be pricey. Fair warning-it is a dangerous site to end up going down the rabbit hole and ordering more items than you originally plan on 😮😅 Hope that helps.

intriguing. the price is not that much higher. but evelyn, in your experience has it always arrived looking like it does in the product pic? because in the reviews there are descriptions and pictures of very mushy uni.

I'd suggest https://brownetrading.com/products/maine-uni Expensive, but always pristine.

You'll have to prove the advantages of this form of exercise by living 10 years longer than @Steve R.

it's not maine uni per se i have questions about--i've had it before as well. i'm just not sure about the likely quality at places showing me ads on facebook. for example.

I get all that from walking down the street somewhere like around Times Square. Obvious physical effort plus figuring out very fast what other people are planning to do (stop, swerve, stop again, jaywalk badly).

No. I've had it at 15 East and from Aquabest and loved it. It's brinier than Santa Barbara uni, less powerful than Hokkaido uni.

I don't think the article says this (I'm no tennis player so may easily misremember), but I was thinking it might have to do with these sports exercising both muscle and mind. You not only need to get to the ball and hit it, you have to be plotting all the time (and swiftly, at that) how to hit it so as to flummox (or better, humiliate) your opponent. Like chess, only a bit more physical.

i'm being shown a lot of ads for mail order maine uni. very tempted to get some. should i resist?

Holy cannoli. I saw Pharaoh Saunders at the Iridium around 1998.

Gearing up for one of those myself. Plus a steroid shot to the wrist so I can work a scissor without dying.

I have lower back pain every day. And that’s after disc surgery and fusion like 5 years ago, which did cure leg pain. Then like 2 years ago I had an epidural which worked great for like 6 - 8 months. Now we just try to get to the gym 4 or 5 times a week, which helps.

Lower back pain flare-up. I injured my back years ago and I get these flare-ups from time to time.

Well, there is the Goodbye topic.

We had it yesterday and then about 1/4 inch of snow overnight. But wicked cold. Only 13 right now and not expected to get any warmer despite some sun. Tonight and tomorrow morning will be worse. Single digits. How the heck did I ever live in Boston and walk all over the city? Of course, I was 40+ years younger then.

Thank you, but I attribute my longevity to my healthy diet. Unfortunately, most of it doesn't seem to appear anywhere in anyone's food pyramid. The research seems to show that racquet sports in general contribute to the longevity, so I credit years of squash for a good bit of it. I think that some of that is due to the combination of fitness with the non-contact aspect of these sports (although swimmers?). Of course longevity is the main goal but this year's new hip, dislocated/relocated shoulder, knee gel shots and assorted other medical interventions put a dent in the happiness part of lasting. But I'll take it. And, by the way, since when is 73 proof of longevity? Talk to me in another 15-20 years (or talk to my urn?). Does anyone else here have a thread with their name on it? Thank you.

Actual sleet right now.

It'll come back. I lose it sometimes, too.

Swiss steak with rice and buttered spinach. Meh. I need to re-learn to cook.

Very much enjoyed that movie, particularly the exciting car chase! Whoo, car chases ftw!

One Battle After Another. Hoo boy was that intense. I'm glad I saw it at home so that I could take pause breaks. I was going to see Marty Supreme in the theater, but I think I'm going to need the same kind of breaks.

If you're ever in SF, Comstock Saloon will do that for you.
