Thoughts.

If I had to buy a Toyota with a bad gas pedal or a good Ford, GM, or Dodge, I would go with the Toyota 100 times out of 100!:thumb:

Toyota with last 2 recalls > Ford > GM > Dodge

My Honda Accord gas pedal has stuck since I got it new...still driving it!

Good loss for KY...I just don't see how this is a bad thing!

MY TIDBITS FROM TONIGHT:

*Lost every lose ball

*Horrendouse rebounding

*AWFUL bench play, I MEAN NO BENCH PLAY

*Guarding Downey tight like he is the President-not a good strategy, made him look much better than he is!

*Orton & Stevenson have dropped off the planet

*Harris & Miller are NOT getting better

*Halfway think Cal got outcoached, good win for Coach Horn

Oh well, It's just January and we only have 1 loss!!!:thumb:

I am just amazed as I keep reading this thread...prayers to your family on the continued growth and approaching mayhem!

You better just move or call Ghosthunters!! :confused::confused:

Congrats Bluto...Everytime I see them perform I am like WOW! My wife made me watch that reality show they did a few years back and it was actually quite interesting! '

GO CATS!

Good luck. Just went for my MRI this morning and will find out for certain next week what I'm dealing with, though I'm certain it's some type of disc problem in the lower lumbar area. Back pain sucks.

Hope all turns out well for you also! :thumb:

I have been going to a chiropractor, occasionally for over 20 years now and know they have a place in joint/nerve relief, especially the sciatic nerve.

 

If I were you, I would go back periodically for an adjustment to make sure you do not have another major episode with your nerves.

 

Good luck!

Our plan is to go 2x's next week, then one time the next, then at least one a month for sure!!!

**UPDATE**

Thanks everyone for the insight...this has been the worst I've ever felt in my life.

Went to Chiropractor took good x-rays which showed a curved spine where I've been holding myself since I first injured this nerve in mid 2008. My right hip was also out of alignment and was almost 1 inch higher than my left! More than likely a bulding disc pinchin a nerve! I went for 5 straight days...got an adjustment and decompression each time. Felt worse when I left, but like it got a little better each time, but pain still 7 I would say each afternoon/evening.

I stayed in bed ALL last weekend and felt better, then Sunday night was in worst pain since the first day. I felt like my muscles were breaking...almost ended up back in ER. I actually believe now they were trying to realign!

Monday I had the Chiropractor scheduled then he wanted to do MRI since I didn't feel much better. I laid down on that table that Monday and when he laid me on my side it sounded like firecrackers going off...then instant relief!!!

I went to have the MRI just to be sure, and the local hospital wanted to charge me $2600.00, plus $250.00 the read it...with my insurance it would have cost about $1500.00 OUT OF POCKET...ROBBERY:eek:...I said thanks but no thanks since I had some success I felt.

Where here I sit and can say I am totally pain free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not suppose to lift or over extend myself, but I can say "I AM BACK...lol" :sssh: I hated this whole situation, didn't miss one day of work, but felt awful and like a deadbeat the whole time!

Thanks again for the comments!

Talked to one of my friends who is really close to a past UT great who was going to be part of Cutcliffe's staff at UT. Was told he was offered the job, but turned it down when the AD would give any wiggle room on bringing in his own staff.

I really DON'T understand this hire at all...very good for Joker/Sanders recruiting in TN I would think. I bet the rest of the SEC is giddy with the hire!

I wasn't aware that an x-ray could see a bulging disk. You didn't get an MRI?

It can't but they had some new x-ray thingy...lol! It was pretty neat and high tech. After talking to a friend of mine who is a doctor and ruling out the rest that is what every one seems to agree on. No MRI for me with my high dedcutible insurance at the first of the year!

***UPDATE***

Went to a local chiropractor here in Owensboro with a good reputation...made me watch videos--which I'm sure is suppose to start the brainwashing process...lol. Overall a very positive experience.

Took a ton of x-rays and found that I have a buldging disc that is causing the nerve issues and I am curving my spine to compensate, probably been that way since July of 2008 when I did this last time...

1.)Got an adjustment...sounded like firecrackers going off

2.)Got this small jackhammer thing done on my back

3.)Decompression table for 10 mins

4.)Russian stimulation table for 10 mins

5.)Ice for the rest of the day

Well, pain is down to a 4 instead of 6 today...another appointment at 5pm!!! Thanks for the insight!

Also found out I have the straightest neck the guy had ever seen which isn't a great thing. The head is so heavy that you need some curve in your spine near your head...glad I found this out and he gave me excerises to correct it and avoid pain and problems down the road.

You'll want to make sure it's "only" a pinched nerve and not a bulged or herniated disk. I have been struggling with a herniated lumbar disk for months now and can't take it any more, so I'm going to Mayfield Clinic (orthopaedic doctor) this week. The numbness/pain shooting down my leg and even into my ankle, not to mention the pain in my lower back, has become unbearable. Anyways, enough of my issue. My point is that I would make certain you see a chiro or othro and make sure you get an MRI to ensure there's not something more serious going on.

This is 2x's and the pain is almost the same level and location, being 28 I asked the doctor what I could do to avoid this injury and he said, "Don't life any 120lb TVs...with a smile" :ohbrother:

Do NOT waste your time going to your doctor. All that will get you are pain relievers, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflamatories (sp??). A chiropractor or a specialist are your best bets.

I know they are going to do an x-ray, refill my pain meds (which I hate taking) and charge me $90.00!!!

I pinched my sciatic nerve for the 2nd time in 3 years...went to ER last Sunday...got a shot, lortab, muscle relaxer, and keeping constant heat on it!

Felt better for a few days, but today the pain is back and going down my leg...I noticed when I got in the shower yesterday my alignment is messed up looking.

Question..do I go back to my doctor, massage it, or go see a Chiropractor...never seen one before...any thoughts or experience with this pinched nerve thing?

:eyeonyou:

Watching that game yesterday...when play was stopped for FT's...I couldn't help but thinking...these guys actually intimidate and scare me!!!

:rolleyes: Seriously...

Tyler Smith and Goins both play quite a bit...I would say Smith plays 30 mins a game!

I expect the story to not be that big, (Car didn't belong to them susposedly) and serve something like a 3 game suspension...

Paducah Tilghman is an independent district that won't close the doors unless finances dictate it. There is some feeling that, for various reasons, a McCracken consolidation to one school could take enough students away from Tilghman to cause that.

 

I don't want consolidation at all, but if it has to happen, I would rather have two county schools (East and West McCracken) with Tilghman operating as it always has.

Love this idea, but looks like they just want 1 school to juggle and it will be built too small right off the bat, just like Graves County most likely. It always seems like they are trying to do the right thing, but in the end something falls through the cracks!

A 6A football and basketball team would be very good west of Bowling Green.

Western will make them look silly if they continue to play this way...could be a LONG year for the Cards, at least it's still early!

I have #1 54 inch Panny and #10 42 inch Panny on the list...I LOVE THEM! Panny & Samsung are very close, can't go wrong either way!

Never had that happen, but I would imagine the shear shock and surprise would be enough that I would have a cornary!

Glad everyone is ok!

Thinking of your family at this time...hang in there!

Wow...prayers from WKY for his family and Monroe County!

Admittedly, I did not read your original post with the diligence that I should have.

 

Upon further review, I would say that if the intent is to simply memorize answers to a test, then, it is indeed cheating. If, however, using an old exam is a part of review for a test and results in a greater retention of concepts/information that is taught in class and the professor gives the same exam, then it is not cheating. Professors and teachers do have a duty to either make new exams or insure that no copies of an exam to be reused is available to future students.

I know one class I had the professor hadn't changed the questions even the order in like 10 years...everyone knew and everyone made an A, if they put in any effort at all to look at the concepts/terms...it always kind of irked me I paid like $700.00 for that class...:confused:

No I do not consider this to be cheating at all.

Ditto, sounds like the teacher is too lazy to change his exam and the university moniter it more power to you!

I would love to, but nothing would ever come of it.

LOL, this happens at every college to some point and I'm sure this is tame to what benefits some athletes get...The NCAA as a whole is a joke! I too attended a in state school with a decent NCAA program and saw several things that weren't kosher! Pitiful event, but it really doesn't surprise me at all I'm sad to say!
