What do you want me to do, send you a towel for the back of your ears? At 58
I was still an every nighter. Now I just dream about it once a month maybe.
Damned sugar will shut that off in a hurry. A round with the shingles 18
years ago after trying to electrocute myself, and the posthepatic pain in the
rib and diaphram area that NEVER goes away now controls what I can do at any
given moment. Sometimes I can't even pick up the coffee pot, the next day I
haul 2 40 pound bags of salt down the basement steps at a time, and do it for
400 pounds to fill the water softener and its a piece of cake, if you don't
mind the pain in the arthritic hands. I take several varieties of the
chondroitan sulfate compounds or I might as well go shoot myself.
Yeah youth is wasted on the young, I remember it fondly... Enjoy what you
have, its largely a use it or lose it proposition.
Heck, they even have me back at work for 4 or 5 hours a day, and I think the
exercise is good for me. And I'm doing more thinking out loud about what I'm
doing just so Dave can understand the reasons for what I do. Dave is the
fellow I gave most of my keys to back in 2002 when I retired.
