A few months ago I read and enjoyed his autobiography.

“They were probably promoting the TV western, “The Virginian,” because Doug McClure co-starred in the show and Clu Gulager also joined the cast.”

Come to think of it, you’re probably right - there’s a good-sized rodeo in the same town that brought in a celeb(s) every year (in fact, I backed the Hager Twins there several years later). I expect they were getting paid to appear at the rodeo while also promoting their show.

Met him once many years ago, when I was a kid and a regular on a regional TV show (musical variety). He was in town with Doug McClure promoting something (I don’t recall what). They were both cut-ups and not at all pretentious.

“I would like to add one more thing I have noticed is the griping at Freepers who post an article that has already been posted. Those who feel the need to call out duplicate articles should give it a rest. Perhaps that is why some are reluctant to post at all.”

I agree - while there are other comments on this thread from people complaining about getting criticized for playing thread cop.

Local TV (100% pro-Dem) “news” was all over this outlier like a rash last night.

Ditto x10. Self-aggrandizing ghouls.

The whole LGBTQP psychosis community should not be advising on anything. Its people need help. They are a danger to themselves and others.

Amen. All this govt/media-endorsed twisting of reality into a pretzel just to cater to a tiny subset of people with a mental disorder is mind-boggling.

She’s doing well as far as I know, although I think the race has gotten tighter in recent days.

Every local “news” station in Phoenix is 100% prog, 24/7.

“FR in microcosm.”

Nailed it.

“And I hear the WalMart is like a third world country.”

It might be, although I suspect it varies a lot by what part of town you’re in (but I don’t know first-hand, as I haven’t been to one in years). A quick search shows 14 WalMarts in the Phoenix metro area.

Maricopa County (where Phoenix is located) has been the #1 or #2 fastest-growing county in the U.S. for the past several years.

Thanks!

“My good friend was treated several years ago for prostate cancer. Came back a stage four about 10 years later, and it
went to his hip bones.”

What kind of treatment did he have?

People who had received boosters had roughly the same risk of hospitalization or death as the unvaccinated.

This appears to imply that vaccinated people should get boosters in order to lower their risk from being vaccinated (only).

I think everyone is second guessing dear old Dad here. He did an outstanding job here - he was READY for just such an occurrence in every sense of the word. That alone is a rarity.

These threads tend to attract blowhards who are always prepared and who never miss.

109? It was 109 degrees at 9:00am this morning. It’s now 116. Bullhead City, AZ.

Yep...on the way to 114 in Phoenix. I have to laugh at the Freepers who posit that everyone should be growing their own food and be self-sufficient.

Prodressives ARE the democratic party!

Absolutely! Failed attempt at misdirection.

“I know because my doctor told me “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it”. Very scientific.”

Same here. About 18 years ago I was dx’d with prostate cancer. I wasn’t scheduled for surgery for another 4 months, so I immediately did a deep dive on diet, supplements, and exercise, and after rigorously implementing what I’d learned I went to my PCP for blood tests shortly before surgery (as a follow-up to the tests he ran when I was initially dx’d). Not only was my PSA reduced by over 50%, every other number (blood fats, electrolytes, etc.) was low-normal to dead center.

His PA said she’d never seen that complete and rapid improvement in test results. The PCP walked and she said the same to him - and his reply was “Well, keep doing what you’re doing”. I was astounded that he didn’t have the slightest intellectual/scientific curiosity about what I had done to achieve those results. I’m far less medically naive now and have come to expect it.

Congratulations! Did you receive hormone ablation therapy?
