    The wife went in to get an MRI after the biopsy was refused. She has a "spiculated" mass on the right side, which is the same thing she had on the left side a couple of years ago. Our personal doc wanted a biopsy but the specialists say it's not necessary. Makes me a little nervous but the wife seems satisfied and takes it as good news.

    Some of us joined TW in our 40s or 50s... getting old happens!
    I think I joined when I discovered this forum, in 2009, just before buying my third new Taco O.R. 4x4
    I am 67, currently and can't wait to get back to camping and four wheeling (as soon as I am healed from my back surgery)!

    Good for you... It isn't about changing your diet as much as it is about eating smaller quantities of food. I also just didn't want to drink soda pop any more, except for rare times or rum & cokes, lol. Don't eat anything after 8 pm and the earlier you have dinner, the better. Breakfast is now rare for me, too. Good thing with the cost of eggs over $7/ dozen!

    That's how you launched a manual transmission car at the dragstrip up until the mid 80's . The idea was to build heat into the flywheel and clutch so it'll grab hard on the launch . Also they used to test launch to find an area of the starting line to find the best traction

    Wife's specialist visit went well. Drug store doesn't have the medication he prescribed... which tells me it's going to be expensive. Have to wait for that.
    An idiot hit her car in the clinic parking lot. We also have that to deal with.

    IIRC Our locals started a one or two dry hop rule with no backup.
    Guys would do that and bore the hell out of the spectators.

    Good morning all. Had to jump start my other half's daughter yesterday afternoon. Reminded me that my jump pack should be recharged, friendly reminder for those who carry one to check it if you haven't done so recently. :pccoffee:

    Can't like this Mark :(. Hope the new med helps your wife (when they get it in).
    Dp they have a camera in the clinic parking lot? Most businesses do anymore. I would love to catch some of the SOBs that hit and run. Good luck with dealing with the car issue
    :fingerscrossed:

    I shoot for every 3 months. I also try to run it down some first by using it first to recharge my phone or some other device. I just figured let my use of one serve to remind everybody else before they might need theirs.
