I have been accused of having attended medical school for penmanship. I have a funny tour stoy about that involving a bag of pot and the Las Vegas sherriff's department. Maybe I'll tell you sometime. I'll buy you lunch if you can read anything I write by hand. Typically I can't even read my own handwriting. LOL. Me, too. I have a hell of a time deciphering my song notes.

I’ll bet I win the terrible penmanship battle, hell I haven’t even tried to write with my thumb less mostly numb right hand in 20 years.

I find this is a talent I also share and one that comes in handy when visiting the pharmacist! I can tell him anything that's on there, includng my own notes I add to the bottom of my doctor's script.

I have two doctors, a GP and a Dermo specialist who are both old-school using script pads!! But what would Ethan do?

Since we are going in the direction of the medical field, doesn’t proctology and null testing have something in common? I’ll let you answer that...lol

I’ll let you answer that...lol The debate on that one is what’s the phase inverted version of the Proctologist? ENT or Urologist? Either way it’s a no go rather than a Null! That said I want to go back to Madison and give the guys at Exact Science/ Cologard.

Can we just move on to Wine Testing/Tasting instead please?

and I suppose 2 Buck Chuck's as good as Chateau Lafiite. Funny thing about that. People have three vastly differing amounts of taste buds. Some are way below average, some average, and some are super tasters. So, the super tasters are not imagining the subleties and nuance of flavors, others just can't taste it.
I've often found that when it comes to audio, there's prejudice, lack of ear training in listening, and some who just can't hear certain things. Add the inherent issues of the various testing methods and I'm very careful to take my own advice over whiners like Winer.

Can we just move on to Wine Testing/Tasting instead please? Giggle. I'm not a wine connoisseur in the least. I can't taste the difference. I can tell what I like, and what I don't and that's about it. I have another friend who's very, very snobbish about wine and we went to a wine tasting once.. The gist of the joke was that all our friends look up to this person as the wine master because he's actually been paid as a wine taster for competitions and such.. and he went on and on about the qualities of some wine we were trying out, but it turns out the server accidentally switched the bottles and the cabernet he was expounding on was actually a pinot noir. But then again, they've done tons of A/B tests and turns out something like 90% of professional wine tasters can't really taste the differences either as they've subbed box wines, watered down wines, wines with vinegar, and whites for reds, etc and as long as they can't see what they're drinking they can't really tell you what's been done. As with anything opinionated, sight makes more difference in decisions than we ever know..

Oh man did you see the thing where Payless Shoes set up a fake highend shop invited all of these “ Taste makers” and sold them Payless $50 shoes for $300-700, then told them the truth I was laughing for an hour! www.google.com/amp/s/www.maxim.com/.amp/style/payless-pranks-palessi-luxury-shoe-store-2018-12

The funny thing is my wife had bought a pair of shoes at Payless about a month ago and wouldn’t tell anybody where she got them now it’s “hey I’m smarter than the rest of you.” I on the other hand with my royally screwed up feet ( hey they didn’t think I would walk again) celebrated that I found a pair of the Pumas I have worn for 10 years and were discontinued, yes I pay more for my shied than my wife!

I've been faithfully buying $40 Decker brand all-leather shoes for a couple of years now. From Payless!! They feel like sneakers, but they look great with anything. Can't beat that, even if I didn't pay Palesi prices! LOL WWEWD?

I like this thread, you can talk about anything and it somehow correlates with null testing.😝
