Ever had a falling down streak?

Steve, I'm pretty sure that this trend will continue and so to save you from yourself I will offer to take all of your 750's off your hands :laugh: :woohoo:

That's right kind of you, but I would really feel guilty passing on my crashing streak to you, so I'll have to decline :laugh:

Well, let's see:

My ex-wife finally moved out, about 13 years after we got divorced.

I'm currently unemployed, and almost out of money.

Recently discovered I have an aortic aneurysm.

Nope, no stress here


Really, I'm not stressed at all, I don't worry about anything, worrying doesn't accomplish anything good and is counter productive. If I have a problem I simply look for the answer, if there is no answer, then I can't do anything about it, so why worry?

My life should have ended 30 years ago, every day since then has just been a free bonus, so I just enjoy them

Actually, aortic aneurysms are pretty common and won't necessarily kill you...many people lead a complete and long life with one (just control your blood pressure). My wife's grandmother had one for her entire adult life and recently died at 102 (and the aneurysm didn't kill her:laugh: )

Whenever needed, a CHEAP perfect d.i.y. ice-pack may be quickly made up using a zip-lock bag filled with ice cubes, inside another zip-lock bag to help prevent any leakage. May wrap in terrycloth towel before using. Did I say cheap? And besides, the highfalutin store-bought model is never around when needed, and requires goofing around with getting all the ice cubes inside through the little screw-on cap hole.

And the zip-lock bags can be reused many times.

Better to use the thicker more substantial heavy-duty "freezer" version.

May not cure anything, but better numb than hurting.

Good Luck . . . really!

Steel Sorry to hear about your accident. When my bike tipped over on Friday the 13th I wasn't even riding it and in my haste to hold it up I snapped my leg at the knee requiring a plate five pins cadavers bone fragments to reconstruct it and many months of rehabilitation to walk and a few years for the limp and pain to go away. I still have great pain when it is damp cold or weather quickly changes. I am a regular bad weather predictor. I used on my knee frozen peas. Worked great and you could reuse many times. Next time that guys Harley can bite the dust for all I'm concerned. An ass whoopin and paying to fix a Harley would cost less than what I am going through now. Besides the fact that it was his fault in a way that this even happened.
Sure sucks to hear about your accident.

Since my blood pressure is 120/80 (same as it's been since I was 18), I don't think it was caused by high blood pressure

Minor plaque build up, less than 10% in the arteries, so I don't think that's the cause either

My brother (2 years younger than me) probably wished it on me, since his hair turned totally gray 15 years ago, and I am only just now starting to get gray hairs (57 years old). I keep telling him "hey, at least you have hair!" (I only have it on the sides and back), but gray hair really seems to bother him for some reason. Personally, I don't care, I shave my head bald every Spring anyway

All my life I have always wanted, and been, different than everyone else, had a heart attack at age 38, spent two weeks in Cardiac Care unit, and three months off work, now the doctors say I'm lying when I tell them that, they say they can find no evidence that I have ever had a heart attack. Guess that $28k bill (after Insurance paid their part) was just a figment of my imagination. :S

So now I have an aortic aneurysm due to some unknown cause, it will probably mysteriously disappear as well

Life is good

Then hopefully your falling spell will disappear mysteriously as well, Steve. BTW, please send Mr. Murphy east, away from here.

Hate to send him on to anyone else, so I was thinking maybe a Moon shot was in order
