  1. A kick in the nuts is breathtaking too. Maybe that applies here.
  2. Just finished my 3rd MRI and 4th biopsy this week. For years my local urologist ran all the predictive test and kept telling me I had cancer or was about to get it. I think she finally got bored with me because I didn't. She finally said she wasn't focusing on prostate cancer anymore and sent me to UTSW in Dallas. I'm glad she did. They are truly a world class organization and I drive 3 hours and do overnights just to get in. The last 10 years my PSA have shot through the roof. My last one was 12.8. Everyone I know that had a PSA that high had cancer. My new doctor didn't panic and said let's just check it out. He actually listens and help me work through it. He even gives out his personal cell number and answers it himself when you call. He was right and everything came back benign once again so I guess I am always going to be in PSA limbo. I tried Flomax and a couple of others and didn't like the side effects. So I just live with BPH now. And interestingly Cialis is a possible treatment for flow problems but I guess insurance companies don't want a bunch of horny old men wandering the streets and won't pay for it. Prostate cancer was the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in men and probably the most treatable. If left untreated it will spread to vital organs and then you're really screwed. So listen to GOTJ, get checked early and yearly.
  3. When my daughters were young, I ask both of them to be careful who they hung with and to never put themselves in a situation that would eventually put their dad in prison. If he did that to my daughter, he wouldn't live to see another sunrise.

    Getting old sucks

    Yeah. When I tore my rotator cuff they tried to get me in a regular MRI machine. When I said hell no, they used an open MRI. I still could barely make it and the 20 year old female tech had to come out and hold my hand to make sure I didn't leave. Xanax is a miracle pill.

    Another high PSA, so it's off my 3rd MRI and 5th prostate biopsy in 6 years. I ended up in the hospital with a serious infection after one of them. And last time I had a biopsy they stuck me 34 times. I'm really surprised I have anything left. And I have to load up on Valium to even walk into a room with an MRI.
  9. Got it. Thanks
  10. Jerry Springer lost his job as Mayor because he paid hookers with checks. And you have to be a frequent flyer to pay for hookups with a check.
  11. If you get in a conversation with your wife about her weight, you're a dead man. It didn't matter what you say or the context of your answer, you're going to be made to regret it. You can agree that she looks great if she lost weight and she will respond "So you thought I was too fat before?"
  12. We call it male pattern deafness. When I'm focused or doing something, I don't start listening until after she gets the first sentence out. When I say "what?" I get tone and attitude. I'm trying to train her to say my name and wait until I acknowledge before finishing whatever she has to say. I've been working on her for 38 years and I haven't made any progress though. I think I'm going to do like her father did to her mother and feign deafness. She would bark at him and he would completely ignore her. After a while she would just gripe about him needing hearing aids.
  13. Can you sign the monkey to an NIL? Seems like he deserves it and we don't need him in the portal.
  14. Which carrier? I was about go to voip too.

    When I went to see the doctor after my surgery I ask him how long rehab would take. He told me 3-4 months and I told him I would finish it 3 weeks. He laughed and said "good luck". And he was right. it took every bit of 4 months. I had to sleep in a recliner for 4 weeks because it hurt like hell to lay flat in a bed. I had no strength in the shoulder for a couple of months, I was lucky to get my arm above my head. I probably got back about 60-70% of my strength. I could probably do more but I don't have anything to prove to myself anymore and don't want to risk screwing it up again or injuring the other shoulder. I was developing arthritis in both shoulders too, so that could play a part. The biggest thing I lost was flexibility. I can't extended my arm completely straight in the air anymore. I have tried to stretch it back for years and it just ain't happening. The doctor told me he just wanted it to be close to where it was before and I guess it is. I wouldn't want to go through it again and that's why I've transitioned into "old man" weight lifting with a lot of circuit training. Not trying to get big anymore, just trying to stay in some kind of decent shape.

    I'm 62. I tore my rotator cuff 6 years ago doing dips (too deep). I started lifting back in the 70's so I had a good 40 years of abuse to my shoulders and my only solution was surgery. I'm not sure it's an injury that repairs itself over time. Mine was pretty bad but the doctor told me if I didn't have surgery I would never have strength in that shoulder again. He also said if I didn't change my workout, to expect the other one to go too. He told me whatever I do I should cut back on the weight and never bend my elbows past 90 degrees. Never hurts to see a doc. You can always say no to surgery.
  17. I'm pretty sure the Jeep is not considered protected. But I'll start a protect the sacred image of the Jeep society just because I like it.
  18. Sorry, I meant no CR. I and family members have had run ins with his biggest boosters. I was poking fun at them and will gladly remove it. I don't want to CR making fun of aggys.
  19. Sorry, I just realized this approached CR. I didn't mean it that way. I've had family members that had run-ins with them. I'll take it down if it's too close.
  20. Goal line box? I thought the Wilkes brothers paid him better than that.
  21. A lot of people from Mexico and Central America will wipe their ass and throw the paper om the floor if there isn't a trash can because that's what they do at home. They're septic systems are pretty basic and can't handle a lot of paper so they just throw it on the ground.
  22. Yeah, I've got UT memorabilia older than most of you...........FIGHT!
  23. Don't forget their legendary status in giving directions to the football stadium to out of town visitors.
