In one article, the estimate for his lifetime value in stud fees will be from $100 to $150 million. It was the first triple crown winner in 37 years. I'll bet even Vito Corleone wouldn't be able to get close to this winner. Security by the truck load he'll have, for sure. Such a horse could...

I am a 63 year old Vietnam Era Navy veteran who developed tinnitus as the result of working within the gun turret of a 5"38 from 1969-72. For the past thirty years, I've been working as the Pest Mgmt. Professional for a VA hospital. Lots of changes have occurred through the years here, as we...

I ordered two brands, green and red, and found neither one to be the best at pain relief. If you have tried and like a dealer's product, would you please share the name?

I am nearly a Netflix addict with so many series to watch. Lots of good ones on there. "The Killing" was entertaining as was "Sons of Anarchy" and "Grand Hotel". Are there other websites out there I should know about? What are they like? I'd like to connect to more of the shows I grew...

At 62, the T is, like so many others here, just one small portion of health issues which I deal with on a daily basis. I'm reasonably certain I'm not the Lone multi-tasked member here. As I've written in the past, my other problems are mostly pain related, for which I take pharmaceuticals that...

This is an amazing documentary. If only all people were like this bunch.

Since the collapse of the steel industry, i.e. U.S. Steel, in Aliquippa, PA one day in 1984, I've continued to read the news from that county, the locaton that amounts to my family roots, unlike the mere memory it is today. Nevertheless, I still read the county news to get a glimpse of what has...

Have you ever met a person that was so cool, calm and collected, that his/her passivity was a draw? The peace that saturated their personality was tangible. How they got there seemed pretty much congenital....given at birth. I once knew a priest like that. What peace. He seemed totally...

Yesterday, I got so involved in the series called "The Assets," (2014) about the double life of Aldrich Ames, the spy who worked as a double agent for the CIA and KGB, that I sat watching all nine episodes (Netflix). Arrested in 1994 after a long period of investigation to determine how...

While in boot camp in Great Lakes, Illiinois, (June 1969), I was not alone in regard to family, for my identical twin brother and I enlisted at the same time. Because we both had musical talent, we were chosen to not go through boot camp like other men. Instead, we were assigned to the jazz...

In the mid 70s, a group with whom all my time was spent, a grassroots, long-haired sandal-wearing, clan of Jesus People, contained a remarkably stirred bunch of young men. On some nights, one of the brothers would drive his van from house to house to ask other brothers if they wanted to join...

The book club, which meets at a local cultural center and with whom I've been a member for six months, is reading The Physician by Noah Gordon this month. If you want to look at our list of books for the remainder of the year, I built a website at http://cbclub.yuku.com It's not brand new, the...

Well, it's not yet been officially determined, but it does look like the conference in Wales coming up will end in a determination by NATO to send 4000 troops into Ukraine in order to stop Putin's insistence on taking back the entire Eastern bloc of European countries lost as a result of...

What is with today’s youth who never seem to get out of the house, but instead spend hour upon hour playing video games, watching movies, and social network on five websites? When I was young, it was impossible to keep kids indoors. Our fun was outside the house. My favorite boyhood years ran...

If you suddenly came into a wad of money, a huge bankroll, say, over 100 million dollars (pounds), how would you spend it? Would you be altruistic, philanthropic, (giving), or conceal it from others? I'll start this discussion by saying, for everyone, that we would, all of us, most likely...

When I was a young boy, my father hung in our home a black iron sign with white letters that read, “I used to cry when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.” Those words were meant to keep us thankful for less, and less was exactly what we had. For seven years, we lived in a...

I wrote, in the past, that I've been using nature recordings produced, as much as I can tell, in a studio by Mike Petroff. Like others on here, I too deal with an assortment of sounds in my head, swishing, tapping, ringing, a heartbeat at times, and what I have found helps me is Mike's sound...

Here's another one of my autobiographical short stories. One of many places that we lived prior to my naval enlistment set our family in a two story wooden home. I was probably 15 years of age then. The back yard, after several yards, sloped down a short hill. At the bottom of that incline...

On occasion, I will write very short stories of the experiences I've had in my life. Here's is one such account of an event that took me by surprise. I hope I've not shared it before. Oh well, even so, here it is: While on semester break during my college days, I began to read Aleksandre I...

And these are only a couple of the challenging health issues I have. Two prostate procedures for enlargement never quite got it right: TUNA and TUIP. I should have had the TURP procedure instead; but then, I would get off only inside of me, if I did get up. It's what my brother had done and...

I've had T since 1972, as a result of working around artillery and with pneumatic tools while in the Navy for three years. In those days, there was some thought of ear protection, but not strongly enough ingrained in the minds of the sailors with whom I shared duties. We were young, around...

One of the things I think greatly helps those with T is to get one's mind off of T for a while. There must be topics that interest folks here that can be interesting and fun. For instance, I love to read, I write, I've had a very interesting career as a pest mgmt. professional, I love animals...

Do any of you write for a living, or have written for a living? I was a reporter for three weekly and two daily newspapers, back in the day when newsprint looked like it may survive. In my field of work, I wrote articles for the top industrial magazines for about six years, but now that I am...

The book club of which I've now been a part for a few months is reading Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the world before the War: 1890-1914. It's not an easy read for me, since my knowledge of Europe at that time is minimal. I already knew a few of its writers, such as Oscar...

Do any of you also purchase Schwan's packaged frozen foods, i.e. mixed vegetables, vegetables with bow tie pasta, fish (cod is good), steaks (if you eat red meat), and all kinds of desserts like pies, cheesecakes, etc.? I began a few months ago to order from them -- the food is delivered at my...

It was while I was in the Navy, working around noisy equipment to grind the floors, and the inside the 5"38 gun while playing war games, that the noise caused me tinnitus. I began noticing it as a high pitched sound seemingly coming from my ears, similar to the sound of crickets. In fact...
