I'm sorry, but I just came back and saw this. I still make these pancakes.


Sourdough pancakes

I always use the overnight recipe. You mix up everything the night before except the baking soda and baking powder. You add those in the morning and wait about 10 minutes after you stir them in before making the pancakes. They are fluffy and delicious!

100% the most comfortable boot. I can walk 12-15k steps working at HLSR and not be in pain.

Watched it once. Never again.

My daughter was a pretty serious gymnast and had a horrible case of Sever's. I don't think you explained it very well. It's pain at the spot of the growth plate. That is also where the achilles tendon attaches to that bone. She fought it from about 10-12 years old.

It's a condition where you manage the pain. They totally can continue to do their sport while suffering from this.

1. Ice ice, baby. Ice multiple times per day. Freezing water in dixie cups and tearing the sides off is good. They can hold the ice by the paper part and rub it onto their heel.

2. Never ever go barefoot. I mean NEVER!!! Every single little pounding on their heel compounds it and contributes to the pain. Wear tennis shoes with padding. If they are wearing any kind of sandal, it needs padding. It's not about the support, but about taking pressure off that spot on the heel.

3. Do not wear any flat shoes. The shoes need to have a slightly elevated heel. Nothing with a zero or really lot heel drop. If you don't know what a heel drop look in the specifications section about various tennis shoes. It's listed. The higher the better. A small wedge takes the pressure off a little. I know crocs are popular with the kids, but they'd be pretty bad for this. So would Birkenstocks. They are hard and flat.

4. Assuming your kid is an athlete. Part of the reason they end up with this is they have strongly developed muscles. Most of the time, the calf muscle isn't as strong and as they grow, the calf muscle relaxes a little, the achilles tendon stretches a little, and the pull on the bone isn't that hard. With Sever's, the calf is strong and pulls hard against the achilles, causing the pain at the insertion point. Therefore, do achilles stretches every day, several times a day if possible. By stretching the tendon, you're taking pressure off that point.

5. NSAIDs. Advil when it's bad. Try not to let them pop it too often. We had a few gymnasts that took it too often and ended up with some stomach issues.

All these things combined can provide a little relief. Not doing extra running/jumping type stuff outside of their sport helps too. Stay off it when possible.

If this is still going on come Thanksgiving, there will be fights, riots, and arrests at the airports.

We should take all their congress folks salaries and pay TSA and air traffic control.

I'm not saying these things aren't good, but what plagues Louisiana and, by proxy, LSU is the brain drain due to a state run by inept governors, city councils, and good old boy systems fueled by people that, quite frankly, the state would be better off if they passed away.

---

It's going to take a lot more than an LSU president to fix that. Additionally, a political hire isn't helpful in that area either. You said it right here...city councils, mayors, etc. Those are the things that get jobs. Without those people promoting, it will stay the same.

I mean we don't have a prez, an AD, or a head coach!?!? And we have a governor (well y'all do, I live in Houston) who inserted himself into the fray.

You wouldn't call that dysfunctional?
