50+ thread

Hang around here long enough and we will change that.
Things kinda rub off in these threads.

 

Mike! How ya doing?
Ready for the winter??

 

Doing ok.
Just about ready. Minor things left.

I'm sure your sled is ready.

 

I got one when I was 18. Totally influenced by Budweisers. I don't really regret it but at the same time I'd just as soon not have it. Luckily it is upper arm and shirts cover it. I see some really attractive girls down around VCU with a whole leg covered in ink. Guess I'm old but I think it takes away from their attractiveness.

 

Hi, everyone! Love a good thread where you can share your maladies and folks understand..........

About to hit the double-nickel in a week or so, had a total hip replacement last year and the other one's due in a year or so. Had 'em pinned in my early teens (injured playing touch football on wet grass of all things) with some time in the Army and lots of dirt bike riding between then and now. Hip problems helped generate L4-L5 disc problems, too. Guess it took a while for all that stuff to wear out....

Thank God I live in a time when replacement parts and technology can keep me going....... Oh, and I won't get into the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy that was my prostate biopsy.......

 

Only scars I have is from a Vasectomy last week...#KnockOnMyWood

 

Be good to those knees Susan I know you are keep it up!! No surgery!

Oh yeah it is...just wanting for the snow to come & the trails to open!
This year I am riding more locally, staying out of Canada to save some coin for house renovations.
Almost thought of selling the ol'girl
Trying to be more fiscally responsible.... lol

 

What's this fiscally responsible nonsense?

 

I know you well enough that you could not stay in the house all winter.
Sell your machine? Naaaaaa.

 

wonder what they'll think of them in 20 or 30 years

welcome

Did that for years and now the knees are saying NO!!!! Yeah, knee replacement would be better than back surgery

I'm trying... they really aren't that bad yet, but definitely not the way they were even a couple of years ago.

I've been working on machinery for 27 years, up. down on the knees, kinda like church so far the back and knees are good but I know a lot of people that suddenly make a bad turn and there goes the knee, hoping I can go another 12 years without that happening.

 

Sorry for the late reply. I've been zonked on Percocet for the past week. Surgery went well, but was far more invasive then they thought it would be. More obstruction to remove then they had anticipated, so it took longer.

Pain at first was sheer agony. Now, 5 days later, I've had my first shower, eaten a decent meal, and am recovering. I walked a little over a quarter mile a couple days ago, and already up to almost 1/2 mile. Pain meds are no longer maxed out, so I am finally semi-coherent. It's be a least another week before I can resume work, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

 

happy the surgery was a success and you are on the road to recovery!!!

I don't get it don't get the appeal of all the sleeves, and whole body tats. to each their own, I guess.

 

Same here but I go thru knee pads. Wear them religiously.

 

Glad to read you're on the road to recovery.

i don't get it either. But it sure is popular these days. Just goes along with a lot of other stuff I don't get.

 

Hope your heal quickly Roger.. Best of luck...
Not feeling yourself ,and like Charlie, is a miserable way to live.

 

Hello All, mind if I join in?

I see this a lot more.
I never ask why but sometimes I do ask what it means. And I think they respect that. And most times it's quite detailed in the reasoning.
I have only had one that said " hehe it looks cool ".

Piercings on the other hand are a whole different story....

 

Only if your a nice person.
(Self analysis is completely acceptable.)
Hehehehehe



Some real nice people here.
I think you will enjoy it...
Welcome

 

Not at all. Grab a beer and tell us where it hurts...
