Typhoon Tip Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Britney Griner was released from Russian prison ! Prisoner swap between her and some Russian arms dealer known as the 'the merchant of death' apparently.

Reminds me of that awesome Spielberg movie, 'Bridge of spies' 2 things: 1) awful trade we all know about Griner's height and athleticism by Viktor has that killer instinct you just can't teach- boom. 2) I believe @Chrisrotary12 among others are interested in the below topic.

There are others stuck there for less that don't get the attention because they have no celebrity status. She had been traveling there for years and MUST have known the rules. Friends that travel abroad for business are always briefed on what to expect as to whatever country they are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covered by insurance every 3 years starting at 45; it’s pretty awesome. Still good to get a colonoscopy done as well, but can’t beat the convenience of a genetic test - almost as accurate (and in some cases, better since it can catch earlier stages) and far easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m too young to get that test done and have it covered I think. I’m curious if I have a colitis or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
