Seems you can't exercise your way out of covid (like obesity, hi bld pres., diabetes, etc). And covid is highly contagious, unlike them others.
Even Statins can have bad side effects, so I do what I have to in order to not need them.
But I can't figure out how to protect myself, and especially others, from covid satisfactorily without the shot. As you know, I do 'search'!

It was a joke, I couldn't resist.

I'd say check with your doc. There's a digital exam, and a blood test, plus probably more things to look at. Think the blood test is called PSA.

You probably know all of this but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Yes, we have talked of it. I haven't given him the OK for anything... yet.

It's funny. I've worked with doctors, I generally like doctors, but I don't want them to have run of my body.

Yeah, I know what you mean…

My cardiologist checks my PSA everytime he does blood work. Weird since he is a heart doctor, but I glad he does it.

Not unusual, any reason why your PCP doesn't check it?

Well, honestly, I almost never see him, but see the cardiologist twice a year.

Well, if those bras were made by J.C. Higgins, good luck with the eraser. Our J.C. Higgins umbrella tent was tough as nails. Heavy, too.

It was always good for hours of wish list making.

M_Six · 08-25-2021, 09:07 PM

My folks were big Sears customers, but I never saw a Wish Book. Now I feel deprived and abused.

shoei · 08-25-2021, 09:18 PM

Y'all been missing out. The annual Neiman Marcus Christmas Book and Fantasy Gifts are specifically for us grown children lol.

Last year you could order custom Aston martin's designed by daniel craig. Private jets, other cars (they've had some exclusive M's and AMG's over the years made for Neimans) trips to space, trip to Louboutin in Paris to design your own couture heels (*cough attention sara cough*) and shit like that. It's pretty wild. Point is, shits on this Sears catalogue nonsense.

You know you're old if you can remember "scratch and sniff" porn mags.

Wait what?! I'm almost too terrified to ask if that is a real thing because I vaguely remember scratch and sniff stickers when I was a kid.

But it smelled like berries and flowers not feet and arm pit b.o lol

Back in the 70s, son. LOL. Hustler magazine. Google it.
I just searched and found a posting with this description of a vintage copy:

Vintage August 1977 issue of Hustler magazine. This magazine was found unused and still in original wrapping at a magazine distributorship in Brooklyn, NY. and was never put out for sale. This is in nearly perfect condition. In a never ending hunt for publicity, Larry Flint put out this Scratch 'n' Sniff Centerfold issue. It is the first Sratch & Sniff issue published and has the first beaver hunt section. It's one of the hardest editions to find from that year. These retail for over $35. in this kind of condition at most places. Own a piece of Hustler's history. I only accept PayPal or a money order for payment. Please add $4.00 for shipping.

.....when you aren't in a hurry anymore when you are driving somewhere.

Today, I was head with my buddy to go hiking. We were meeting a group of hikers at 8:30am at the trailhead but we decided to leave at 7am so we could take our time, stop for coffee, and just not be in a rush.

Right before exiting the freeway to get coffee, a BMW M3 goes by us like he's on the track, weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating, being impatient, with nowhere really to go since there was a bit of traffic on the road.

I'm thinking, "I remember those days, always in a hurry and impatient."

So, we get coffee and then get back on the freeway. About 5 miles down the road there are flashing lights on the side. Traffic slows as we go by the scene. That very same M3 driver was pulled over by the CHP.

Now that I'm old and slowed down a bit in my driving habits, life is so much easier and less stressful. I let it loose once in awhile, but not while driving in traffic. I no longer get so annoyed at slower traffic "in MY way". Damn I'm old.

TiMSport · 08-25-2021, 09:55 PM

^^^ This is the epitome of knucklehead BMW drivers that puts a stain on fellow owners. It's so annoying when there is nothing but traffic and a d-bag acting as though he has the right-of-way because he's in an M3. If I saw him pulled over by the CHP I'd be like "congratulations a-hole".
