re: Underrated cities in the South

I would say it’s appropriately rated. Lived there a few years ago and it’s consistently rated top places to live in the south.

re: Just out: Average of polls from all swing states

I believe that all counties in each state should hold off before posting their results until the hold outs post.
For example, Small, rural counties in Georgia should wait until Fulton county resolves their water main issue. They won’t know how many votes they’ll need to magically “find”.

Jose Antonio Ibarra was in the country illegally, NewsNation correspondent @AliBradleyTV reports.
Ibarra is charged with killing Laken Riley at the University of Georgia.
He came from Venezuela and crossed in September of 2022 into El Paso, according to Bradley.
This is MADDENING. Yet, Clarke County & Georgia will still vote left.

Athens is filled with bleeding heart liberals and government housing. Middle and upper class mostly moved to Oconee county or Jefferson. Athens mayor and city leaders have always been very left. They do not care at all about businesses or safety of residents. It’s frustrating.
re: 14 year old son has stopped eating
Posted by kj993 on 1/20/24 at 8:51 pm
I remember my sister (no pics) stopped eating at that same age. She had just been broken up with by her first boyfriend but was very private about it all. My mom actually called about getting her seen for anorexia until she came clean that she was just depressed. She said she didn’t mean to not eat, she just found nothing appetizing and had no desire.
She saw a therapist after that for about 6 months that taught her communication & coping skills and I never saw her upset like that again. I hope your son gets better soon.

She died bc she took both ozempic and Mounjaro and the same time. That is highly inadvisable.
re: Over 25% of Methodist churches abandon denomination as schism grows over LGBTQ+ issues

Our church actually sued the UMC & the North Georgia conference because they were not allowing disaffiliation due to “misinformation”. We won the suit which helped set the precedent for all of the other churches in the North Ga conference to leave. It is disgusting what the UMC has become.
I feel terrible for the small, rural churches who do not align with the new UMC but cannot afford to disaffiliate; The people there that have been there for generations.

Yeah, kill the average/mediocre babies. Not eugenics at all.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an elective procedure in IVF that merely tests to see if there are any chromosomal abnormalities. Many people with genetic mutations or older women usually elect for this. You can find out gender but that’s the extent of it. You’re not picking eye color, height etc. That is against the ethical code. Could it come in the future? I don’t know.
It’s a great resource for someone who has recurrent miscarriages to be able to not transfer abnormal chromosomal embryos.
As far as transferring the best embryo… you are given a “grade” by the doctor of each embryo. High grades doesn’t mean successful pregnancy and low grades don’t necessarily mean a failed transfer, but the grades help determine the success of viable pregnancy. Of course you’d transfer your highest graded embryo first—You want the best chance of pregnancy. If you do testing, you will know the gender of each embryo. To my wife and I, it didn’t seem right. So we told them to pick the best grades embryo to implant and not tell us the gender.
People aren’t picking their embryos because they’ll be a future college athlete. Not yet anyway.

It’s easy for people to condemn IVF who had no problem having children. I have a genetic issue which prevents me from having children naturally. My wife and I are in the process of IVF and I couldn’t be more thankful that it is an option for us.
I have seen my wife, month after month, crying over negative pregnancy tests. If you do not know the feeling, you’ll never understand the desperation. Sure, adoption is certainly on the table. But it’s not a “back up” choice and shouldn’t be treated as such. Adoption is not for everyone. My wife and I may pursue that one day, whether IVF works out or not. But that’s a personal decision that you shouldn’t just suggest to couples struggling with infertility.
And regarding embryo storage, that is a very tough subject. My wife and I decided to do as little hormones as possible so that we could limit the amount of viable embryos produced but also have enough to bank for later transfers. Not everyone had this choice.
This isn’t a “wow, these people just discard embryos that aren’t genetically perfect” no. It’s much more complicated than that.

His uncle is the OL coach at Nebraska. He also got a year extension on his contract and a 53% raise for a mediocre offensive line…
His dad also played there and his number is retired.

My wife (no pics) works in HR for a construction company that, as one would imagine, employs mostly men. She says that the only complaints they get from the men are about the women working in the office. No drama on jobsites or otherwise. She said that the only drama at their company is solely from the women that make up maybe 1% of the employees.

I met Ben Carson at a pro-life fundraiser a year or so ago. He was a gracious speaker whose life story was truly inspiring. Our country would be lucky to be led by such a kind & intelligent person. Honestly, I think he’s too good for politics but this is the path he’s chosen. He would be quite the improvement from Heels up Harris.

Except Dabo’s refusal to get with the times and use the transfer portal and NIL to his advantage. Now that they don’t have to funnel money through a church and he’s showing restraint? It’s also not like he’s had that much resistance winning an ACC title game, given the recent caliber of ACC teams. Kirby is a master at recruiting. And Dabo without Bret Venables has not been the same.
But that’s just my $.2
