Lugging around heavy equipment for 40 years is what caused most of us to have back problems. Jackhammers, water heaters
heating & cooling equipment and etc.

Yes sir.. l lost the lottery on that one... plus from what I've researched, those shots are only good forc4 or 5 years. Unless they have changed the propaganda for it. Wish I never took it.Was this from the "2 part" Shingrix shot?
I had the real deal and I thought I was going to die! And with the prospect of having it reoccur as a result of the jab, I said no.Unless they have changed the propaganda for it. Wish I never took it.
Hey, Lud, re: your back issue, I recommend checking out TOPS. It's a new, to the US, procedure which is much more less invasive surgery on the spine. It can maintain your flexibility, while affording less down time. Visit Premiaspine.com. I'm awaiting an appt at the Mayo to determine if I am a. qualified candidate for this. If not, I guess I'll go the laminectomy route.I think as we age, we all get these infirmities. I have a couple I could do without... I got the new shingles vaccine, it screwed up my nervous system.. if you watch the commercials, it even says it can cause guillian-barr . Plus I have a bulging disc.. they want to cut me open from the belly side, take it out, roll me over, open me up from the back and do some kind of fusion. I think not. My normal doc said to me. ... only last resort,, the leading cause of back surgery iss... back surgery. So I bought a decompression machine and use that.. it does help.but the shingles shot has caused my whole right side to be weak, cramps, shake hands, some drop foot. Peripheral neuropathy...Don't don't don't ever take that shot. And if you have and not gotten the side effects, then your lucky.
I'm solidly in the non-vax camp now. Oh yes I am fighting PMR where my own body is trying to kill me. On prednisone every day for that. Slow taper to get off of it.
Sorry for the owie rant. Oh, yes plus the other old man stuff, high blood pressure, diabetes, and now he is talking about cholesterol....
I think I need to go back to bed...
Thanks, for me, I'll stick with decompression.. at least until it doesn't work. 20 minutes 2x a week.Hey, Lud, re: your back issue, I recommend checking out TOPS.

Hang in there!!
All of these I hear on tv... who would use things ? You would have to be oblivious, or just uninformed.I had the real deal and I thought I was going to die! And with the prospect of having it reoccur as a result of the jab, I said no.
Have you noticed the most of the adverts by Big Pharma come with the disclaimer that death could occur? No frappin’ way!
I could never tolerate paying 1 dollar per wing. (Especiall with how small most of them are) So we never get them. But I'm sure there more now. I used to see adds for 50 cent wings at wing kings on certain days.Havasu, you've got better eyes than I do! I couldn't figure out what I was looking at in Zanne's pic. Now I can tell there is a dog in there somewhere but, for the life of me, I cannot find a cat that's assuming Princess is a cat.
We went out looking for chicken wings for tomorrow's big do but found none at both the stores we went to. We had to settle for a bird of another feather. To wit:

Was that 50 each ? That's a bunch !!!!When I was young, dumb and full of ________it, my friend Jim and I used to do Saturdays at the local Hooter's restaurant where we'd consume 50 drums-only wings, breaded and not "naked", in Three Mile Island sauce and be able to down a couple of rounds of celery sticks with ranch dressing as well without any problem.
As you mentioned, I am down to a "kid-sized" portion which is five wings and some fries and can barely get those down.
Yes, I remember when I did 30 I was wobbly, like leaving an all you can eat crableg joint at myrtle beach... just a few to many ! But with the crablegs, gotta get your moneys worth (last time we went it was 49$$ each) a couple years ago.Nope. 25 each. Still a bunch of bird!
