Yes, a cold can cause hoarseness. When you have a cold, your body sends extra fluid, blood, and immune cells to your nose, mouth, and throat to fight the virus, which can cause swelling. This swelling can affect your vocal cords, making them inflamed or infected. When your vocal cords swell, they vibrate more slowly, which can make your voice sound hoarse or raspy, and you might only be able to whisper or squeak when you try to talk. Hoarseness from a cold usually goes away on its own within two weeks. DUH!!!!!

You should watch it before you start trying to talk about it!!

Do ya’ll know any black people? Like, go to their house, invite them to yours know them? If you did, this talk wouldn’t be happening. You would know what they see and how they are treated every day because you would talk and listen like any other friend. You got one guy here pretty much saying I’m a half breed because I have a tan and maybe a little Native American blood tainting my aryan purity. Prjudice is fear based. Racism is a superiority/inferiority construct. I’ve said it before. I’ve never talked to a black person who expressed superiority over whites. They maintain they are equals as human beings. How many whites here will raise their hand ( where they can’t be seen) and claim a black person is their equal? I can’t count the times I’ve heard the opposite proclaimed.

My opinion is this….Trunp probabky isn’t a racist, but he counts on racists to vote for him. Kinda like he does for the Christians. I think the term racist is useless today… it’s been twisted into a tool use to invalidate the opinions and perspective of anyone who doesn’t share identical beliefs. Oppose reparations? Racist. Disagree with Obama? Racist. Good at math? Racist. Vote Republican? Racist. Know your daddy? Racist. But it’s effective because if someone is “racist,” their very being is flawed and anything they say or do can’t be taken seriously. And the person has no choice but to pivot away from whatever point was being made to instead begin defending the allegations of racism. What if I told you that I believe institutional racism does exist. There are words publicly said in the US by a particular group… used in songs, movies, and every day conversations… but when that same word is uttered by other races, that utterance can be used to sentence them to prison for a hate crime? Not even considering the non-criminal penalties (loss of employment, etc) that the “wrong” speaker faces if he/she utters the same exact word? What if I told your there were schools of higher education and scholarships available only to certain racial groups? What if I pointed out that up until recently, the same ethic group was given preference in the admissions process and hiring process. Not pre “Plessy vs Ferguson,” but up until the last few years? People talk about a shift that occurred when the Ds became the party of minorities and the Rs became the racists… I contend that it never happened. The truth in my opinion is that the Ds have always been the party of racial politics, and when it became obvious that the old racist beliefs from whites towards blacks were dying off, and that the demographics of the country were changing, the Dems didn’t change tactics, they changed targets. Those old school white racists still exist, but in way, way smaller numbers and they don’t exist in positions of power. But when they vote they vote against the Dems, hence they vote Republican.

I understand. It’s nice to talk about something else sometimes. Your last sentence implied that politicians are politicians, and that’s what they do. I was just throwing one out there who I believe adheres more to principle than power.

Oh an institution can move away from God, and the USA is running away from God. I am not trying to chase you off - this is a free site. I just wish people would be more open to alternative view points. The devil wants to sow division. Nice to hear you admit that God is love. I generally try to stay off this side of the site - would much rather talk baseball and small town sports.

Talk about condescension. It’s not chasing me off this time. I have never been talked more rudely at than on here. Oh, and no one can move away from God. He dwells in all things. The problem is we have politicized Him to further divide ourselves and make money or build power for ourselves. He loves us all anyway. Peace.

Delusional and protagonist are words that come to mind. You see I really do not mind dissenting opinions. The problem I have with most of the posts you make is you just want to say something (opinion, law, etc.) is wrong and not offer up any solutions. The problem with America is: #1 and by far the most problematic - we have moved away from God, and #2 we are not the “UNITED” States of America anymore. Division abounds and there are forces at play that want to stir that division and increase it. People don’t talk TO each other anymore they TALK at one another. I’ll gladly talk to someone that will listen, but have no desire to be in the presence of someone who is narcissistic and only wants their opinion to be heard. I fly no Trump flag, I wear no MAGA hat, and truly wish we had another R to vote for. But you trot out Biden or Hillary and I’ll campaign for Trump with my own money.

I only seek compromise to take the issue off the political table as far as abortion goes. I know compromise doesn’t exist in your world. Zero sum only. If you watched the video, you are obviously among those who have been trained to not believe your own eyes and ears. From speaking to a “black church” full of white people to crossing the street and addressing White Boy Summer Charlie Kirk’s group. Man, talk about deaf dumb and blind.

Incorrect, his first season he won 14 games. Same amount of wins Buna had the season prior to KJ getting there. Like I said, I know KJ personally and we talk almost daily. He thinks the whole 6-51 thing is comical.

But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand. When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.” When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women. John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform. But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!” I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf. It’s baffling.

Talk about Chicken Little. Do I need to rename the forum again? This forum is becoming a joke and an embarrassment to the site.

Is that the same as “ talk to the hand”? How can you say blah blah blah, when Cohen was CONVICTED OF LYING TO CONGRESS, but you believe him. You, and people like you, are what is wrong with the world……ignorance with a voice.

Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County. A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built. If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester. Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town. A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday. This year’s graduating class will number 11. We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets. We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community. Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs. We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state. We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets. Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets. Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️

Come on dude, don’t take anything away from the kids on the field. If you want to talk uncharacteristic, we made what 3 or 4 errors in game one. Y’all had 2 EARNED runs. Defense is normally our strong suit. Your ace didn’t strike out a single one of our kids. Like I said also, you did not out hit us in game 1. Hell you barley out hit us in game 2. We had all the uncharacteristic walks. Josh pitched a hell of a game is what made that game what it was.

Judge aiming to take Trump 'out of the presidential race,' likely to issue jail time: Democrat Mark Penn Democratic pollster and former Clinton adviser Mark Penn said Friday during an appearance on Fox News Channel that he believes Judge Juan Merchan will sentence former President Donald Trump to serve some jail time because he's "trying to take him out of the presidential race." "So far, this judge has wanted to take, obviously, wants to take Donald Trump out of the presidency," Penn said during an appearance on "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on Friday. "So, for all this talk that, of course, he's a first time offender and not eligible ... he's convicted of things that could send you to jail for 137 years. I think this judge is going to sentence him to some jail because he's trying to take him out of the presidential race." Should Merchan sentence Trump to serve some time in jail, Penn said he believes the move will lead to "another record fundraising day" for the presumptive Republican nominee for president. "Giving [Trump] a fine or community service isn't gonna do that. If he does that, I suppose Donald Trump will have another record fundraising day," he said. Trump's sentencing hearing on the charges is scheduled for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Penn said he expects Trump to receive an "incredible reception at that convention, unlike anything he's ever gotten before."

Can't even talk without a teleprompter!

Tim Erickson is a great coach and would do well where ever he coaches. His basic rules are tough and everyone has to buy in, including parents. Hair not allowed to touch your collar Clean shaving Not one talks to him or the players while on the field (He will not talk much off the field either) No dying you hair when you make the play offs No big sunglasses That's a few. he does get results..

Sure. You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation. The outcome is the same, but you are making my point. The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions. Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job. I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

You, hillary, and all dims love that Russian collusion talk. Even after it’s been proven false, over and over again. Bug-eyed Schiff made you a believer?

Understood, but I'm not a fan of "people" besmirching the good name of a great baseball coach. Keyboard warriors who hide behind screen names and talk bad about coaches should have their......... Now, with that being said, who is on the short list?

I think that his comments is what he was convicted on. Had they not had that, he probably wouldn’t have been convicted. That is one reason that I do not talk about what I would do. If you make an off the cuff comment like, “If that happened to me, they wouldn’t need an ambulance, they would need a hearse”…. then later you are in a maybe different situation but resort to deadly force, don’t be so sure they someone won’t find that comment and use it against you. “He has obviously been waiting for the opportunity to kill someone” or worse…. the opportunity to kill one of those people. (whoever “those” may be)

Not always. Like one is for my wife and she doesn’t always go. My friend is in the same situation but this year her grandson is playing so he may or may not have an extra each week. I had season tickets for maybe 20 years… but they were in another person’s name. When one of his sons got married, all of a sudden the in-laws wanted “my seats”. Poof…. they were gone! When Nederland removed the band from the stands to open up more tickets, I grab some online in that new overflow area just to make sure I could get in the game. One year later (last year) after I had renewed my seats, I went to the trade-in day. My friend and I who had seats together and sat together in the new expanded section last year, were in the 2nd and 3rd spots in line for trade ins. We got lucky with the 50 (literally) yard line seats with him having four seats on one row and me having three matching seats on the next row. We just wanted to improve our seats a little each year instead of those end sections. We got very lucky with prime seats in one year. Talk about cutting a big hog in the butt with a little knife……

Happens all the time.. College coaches limiting their pitch counts in high school. My suggestion is to talk to some high school coaches and see what they are told by their players.. As for football Sr. all star football games all you have to do is look at local and state all star games.... you really think the best players in the state of TEXAS are going to small colleges like SFA, McNeese, Lamar and etc... You will rarely see any SEC, Pac 10, Big 12 kids there.. why their school does not want them playing.

This reminds me of a talk show I saw years ago. It was about unruly kids. They prefaced the show with audience reactions to this 12 year old girl. They started by saying she had cursed her brother (audience….boooo), then she had pulled a knife on her mother (audience….BOOOO), then they said that she even kicked the dog ( audience…..SHOOT HER, OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!! Blah, blah) It was as ridiculous as this topic…. And I started it. lol
