Amanda Williams2 said:I'm not sure, but is that just part of your charm—or did you decide specifically because of it? 😁

😘 The decision goes much deeper than that and it's happening; as for the charm... that stays regardless 😉 🙂

ruggedfalcon2 said:so, just a quick question—has anyone actually used this device, and if so, what was the experience like? 🙂

😕 are you guys really that out of the loop regarding medical breakthroughs? 😕 🙂

So, simple question: does anyone here have any firsthand experience using this device 🙂
?

Caine said:heh, but that was clearly Boztepeov Ving Tsun! And that German guy is totally riding the coattails of his Turkish instructor—just look at the photo on his website 😁 🙂

I saw it. Let him act like he's something special, but he's mediocre... anyway. There’s no such thing as Boztepeov Ving Tsun or anyone else's version; in this context, there's only Yip Manov 😉 ☕

Daniel Chavez14 said:ruggedfalcon2, our readers are curious about the signature change. Are you actually serious this time, or is this just a case of old habits dying hard?

I'm being serious... only time will tell if I can actually stick to it. 🙂 😘

Jamie Fowler2 said:since when were the Ving Tsun practitioners slow? :P clearly you aren't doing Tai Chi😁

Well, you saw it in that video—there are definitely some slow ones out there; I suppose I just have to keep up with the latest trends in Ving Tsun...😁 ☕

Jamie Fowler2 said:So, when are we finally getting that blog post about the Wing Tsun characters and terminology? :P

Whoa, slow down there! Make haste slowly... 🧐 ☕

dustywolf52 said:He was... Where did you even hear that?

Mr. Know-it-all 😉 ☕

Jamie Fowler2 said:no, he actually trains the police and works within the local precinct...

but he was still essentially a cop, right?
☕

Jamie Fowler2 said:So... as far as I know, Schwarzenegger isn't part of the WBC, he's actually with the IBF. And honestly, nobody on that thread was even tearing him apart—most of the replies were just people bickering about how "BJJ is the absolute best!" Sherdog is a garbage forum.

If you're really bothered by Schwarzenegger's red Chevy truck, just go up to the guy and have a civil conversation.

🤣 🤣 🤣 ☕

ps. Is Schwarzenegger still working over at FedEx? huh? 😁

Over at Dr. Phillips ☕

Blue said:Sulfonamides are antimicrobials, but they aren't actually antibiotics!

Copied from www.mayoclinic.org.

"Antimicrobials are drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections.

Broadly speaking, we categorize antimicrobials into antibiotics and other chemotherapeutic agents—which includes things like sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and fluoroquinolones. The distinction is that sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and fluoroquinolones are entirely synthetic drugs; you won't find them in nature. Antibiotics, on the other hand, are either natural products or derivatives that have been structurally modified from natural sources."

👍 ☕

Sinersul IS an antibiotic, but it's NOT a penicillin-based one

🙂 Your knowledge is pretty thin here...👎 maybe try picking up a book or two.☕

Justin Fox said:I'm fully on board with stem cell research. Why? Because that's where medicine is headed. The future isn't about sharper scalpels—it's about genetics, specifically unlocking the body's innate ability to defend and repair itself. Stem cells are the key to that door. There was even recent news about finding ways to reprogram adult cells back into stem cells, which means the current methods—relying on umbilical cords or fetal tissue—are just temporary stopgaps. If we let quasi-religious moralizing block this research now, we’re essentially stalling genetic progress. We're just dragging out the timeline for medical breakthroughs and increasing the amount of unnecessary suffering caused by a lack of effective treatments.

👍 btw, that's hardly "news"... honestly, Russ has been working with adult stem cells for years... but you know how it is, the West always wants to act like they've made some sensational "discovery" just to shout it from the rooftops. 🙄 ☕

I haven't gone through the entire thread yet, but listen up—Sinersul isn't some kind of magic cure-all... ☕

Richard Smith31 said:I had no idea about that situation in America—not really clear why it couldn't be handled there.
We made sure to save blood for our little princess. The company we have a contract with charges about $2,100 for the Bavarian region for the first twenty years, and then I think it’s around $35 per year after that. That price covers the German region and includes all the testing costs during pregnancy and immediately after birth, plus transportation and storage. They offer services outside of Germany too, so I assume that woman could have worked something out for a fee.
Shortly before delivery, they send you a kit to take to the hospital; during birth, the doctor uses a long needle inserted through the cut umbilical cord to draw the blood, packs it up nicely, and calls their transport to pick it up. It felt like we waited about a month for all the tests to come back, and eventually, we received a certificate confirming the blood was good to go. Otherwise, if the blood isn't suitable for storage, you pay about $220 for the tests.
Either way, it wasn't some complicated process...

👍 that's just how it's done ☕

brightdriver8 said:is this thread about stem cell storage or stem cell therapy? 😕

hmm... or maybe it's just about gummy bears 😁

It’s about both—but definitely not the third! 🙂 ☕

urbanotter5 said:I think it would be pretty stupid to put together a book where emojis just replace all the punctuation.

So just make up your mind already... a few days ago you were saying we need a book, now suddenly it’s a bad idea... you’re indecisive about everything—one minute you want to train Wing Chun, the next it's Jeet Kune Do... I read you loud and clear.🤣 🙄 ☕

rustymoose54 said:No way—in Germany they give you a bag of Haribo gummy bears or something, and they actually take care of the umbilical cord blood. It’s just that those greedy American doctors have teamed up against the patients, so they're going to try and charge a fortune for this kind of thing. ☕ Honestly, it's shameful.

👎 I don't believe you! Prove it! Until you show me proof, it's just a lie... and that makes you a liar too. 👎 ☕
