I was watching some old highlights last night and it got me thinking about how often we see these "reunion" moves in sports. You know the drill—a big-name team realizes they have a hole in their roster right before the deadline, and instead of actually scouting new talent or building something fresh, they just go hunting for a former player who’s already familiar with the clubhouse.

It feels a bit like a shortcut, doesn't it? On one hand, I get the logic. You know the guy's temperament, you know how he fits the culture, and you don't have to spend months integrating a complete stranger. It's "safe." But on the other hand, it feels like we're just recycling the past because we're too scared to take a gamble on someone unproven.

I remember back in the day when my favorite team brought back a veteran just to get a quick emotional boost from the fans. It worked for a week, but it didn't actually fix the fundamental issues with the roster. It felt like a band-aid on a broken leg.

Do you guys think these types of moves are genuine strategic wins, or is it just a way for front offices to avoid making the hard calls?

I once saw a dog go to its late owner's grave, only to pass away from a broken heart right there.

The first thing I was taught growing up was simple: "Don't let them push you around!" Honestly, I just can't wrap my head around how someone can dislike themselves so much that they allow this kind of treatment. It’s genuinely baffling to me how people here can be so against themselves. Why work against your own interests? It is hard to reject negativity, sure, but it is much harder to sit there and take the hits—both the insults and the actual blows from others. I could never permit that for myself. It would drive me absolutely mad. Yet, you (and sorry, you admitted this yourself) are actively sabotaging your own progress. Just walk away from it. Cut ties, leave it behind, and move forward with your life. Your situation might feel like a total wreck right now, but your 😉
is yours alone.

Just put him on the ignore list👍

If you're still interested, I can keep going. 🙂

Come on, just keep going! If I ever find a great recipe, I'll definitely share it.👍

Cabbage leaves around the neck help specifically with strep throat. Putting cabbage leaves on your chest before bed, under a regular shirt and a wool sweater, helps clear out mucus.

Poultice ointment for veins and congestion; they also say it works for hemorrhoids.

Potato skin water for arthritis.

A brush for tightening skin after childbirth and nursing.

Coarse sea salt for sore legs.

Interesting. Is this all actually legit? Let's gather as much info as possible. I'm not a hypochondriac, but after my kidneys acted up once, I started looking into things... then a cold hit, and I began fighting back with garlic.😁 ... good to know.👍

Do you believe in folk remedies? Which traditional methods are you familiar with, regardless of whether they address a simple cold or issues with the kidneys, heart, liver, or lungs? For a cold, I always apply garlic rubs, and if my throat hurts, I mix honey and egg into milk... some people lower a fever with brandy compresses placed on the neck... what methods do you use? And do they actually work for you?

I suppose it doesn't really matter... we're all dead anyway😲
