[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="2919660"]I am fortunate so far in not being afflicted. I just have the normal age issues. Like feeling sore after a hard day of outside work. Thankfully that passes quickly. Good luck with yours. It is a bitch.[/quote] Thanks.

Arthritis sucks. Plain and simple. I suppose it is just a part of getting older. At this point I have it in my shoulder joints, elbows, hands, knees, hips, and ankles. Such is aging I guess. What are you going to do? It is what it is. Take Advil and deal with it I guess. Ah well, I guess it could be worse (and probably will be).

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="3" id="2919000"]I always hope that no one saw - but in your case, the good Samaritan observed all. In this case I know how you feel!

I walked back to my motel room from the local bar. No problem. Once I got back to my room I grabbed the ice bucket and went to fill it up to ice down a few beers I had left over in my room. I should say here that I was not more than mildly intoxicated. After filling the bucket I started back to my room and took a misstep off the side of the sidewalk. My foot was caught in a decorative bush there and I tripped. I fell very undignifiedly on the pavement. I struck my elbow on

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="8" id="2918425"]The worse part of that aspect of it is the loss of trust. Perhaps in time we will regain it, but for now, we do not trust anyone. When all is said and done, that is what makes me the angriest.[/quote] That is quite understandable. I have always believed one can never trust a junky, the addiction is just too powerful.

Wow, I think it is even worse when it comes from someone you are trying to help. I am sorry for your experience, Doc.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="29" id="2918074"]Just re-formatted my drive. Installed Win7 Pro and thought I'd give FF4 another shot. THE DAMN THING DOES NOT FREAKIN' WORK!!! Try to go to another web site like imageshack, connection times out. Four times I tried. It happened with Google and photobucket. I finally got to photobucket because I needed to show Philly 0381 the QED rainy I downloaded. It works fine but I can't show it because FF4 will not copy the direct link nor p

[quote who="Texas Wahine" reply="17" id="2917966"]nutritional yeast, it's a fungus [/quote] Quite correct. As to the breastfeeding, most pediatricians these days recommend it for at least a year as there are demonstrable long term physical and emotional health benefits. A healthy baby will eventually lose the need/desire on their own and essentially wean themselves. I have never thought feeding an infant cow's milk was a good idea.

[quote who="Leauki" reply="17" id="2913997"]I don't know which part of the constitution would allow the US government to make laws that could stop me from driving my car on my own land. I still think driving a car is a right. If the US government disagrees, I wonder on what basis they do.[/quote] Actually, what you refer to in driving your car on your land are private property rights. As long as you stick to your private property you have the right to do as you like, within reason

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="27" id="2917764"]MasonM... that's because it is specially built for Windows. At least that's what the Pale Moon site states. I'm quite happy with it as well. Hopefully some nice themes will come out for it. [/quote] Yes, I know. I use the standard Firefox in Linux and it works quite well, but the Pale Moon rebuild works much better for Windows 7.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="2917781"] Seems like a relaxing enough weekend to me. Lucky you! I was hauling stuff down to the country and landscaping! I feel it this morning! Glad you could get some down time. I will probably be going to a wedding in a month, so I will get some then (we have to travel to it).[/quote] It looks like I may be here longer than I thought.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="2917763"]It does not seem petty. But I am at the other extreme - I never wear shoes except at work! People laugh at me when I run around barefoot in the snow, but my feet just were not designed for shoes! For someone with your occupation it is a treat. But even for me, barefoot is a pleasure I partake of frequently. Hope that toe has healed. You do not have a job that is 9-5 like me (ok, I do work some night

LOL great story. Being former navy our PT wasn't all that tough. We were mostly into weight lifting and boxing back then. No way I could have kept up with that pony tail.

Living in a truck, I don't get to go barefoot all that often. On most days I pull of my boots when I take a shower and when I go to bed. That is about it. I am spending a few days in a motel and nursing a seriously injured left big toe so I am trying to not wear my boots any more than necessary as the boot hurts the toe. I am loving going barefoot. Not only is it helping my toe heal more quickly but it just feels damn good. This motel is rare in that the room has hardwood floo

Well written, Brad, and quite true. Although I am pretty much myself online, I do try and filter what personal information I am willing to share online. One can simply never know for sure with whom you are dealing in what is essentially an anonymous venue.
