OT Dodging bullets

Similar thing happened to my father several years back, he was taking too many aspirin (is that the plural?) and it finally got the better of him and he had to be life flighted across the state to OHSU. He spent a whole week in the hospital over it.

He got really lucky, it lead to a bleeding ulcer right by an artery, luckily they cauterized it.

I'm elderly? That is debateable.

I get medical advice from my doctor.

Why then did you take aspirin until you had a problem? Learning as you age is a requirement to become elderly.

The plural for aspirin is aspiri.

Are you? I just googled it and there doesn't seem to be a set age.

I'm getting close to elderly from what I saw and I'll be 44 soon.

BTW, if anyone is thinking the world would be better with one less lefty lesbian, my will, after providing for care of my cats, divides most of my estate between American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood. San Francisco Ballet and my local library also get a piece. So be careful what you wish for!

Great news!

And I'm always happy to see the arts and libraries receive support from individual donations, which dilutes government influence and censorship.

I have seen no evidence of government censorship of San Francisco Ballet or of the local library. Sadly, the Trump administration has issued a policy mandating censorship of women's health care. Because he has the best brain and knows more about women's health than women or our doctors. I am in favor of public support as well as private donations to healthcare, arts, and literacy. Unless one is a billionaire, private legacies are a help but no substitute for public support.

 

[MarAzul]

I am in favor of public support

I have no doubt you do.
I once read that the only people that support confiscation of wealth so that is can be redistributed are those that have given up on having any.
Since you deny being elderly, are you not then early?

44? You post much older.

 

[MarAzul]

44? You post much older.

You don't!

 

[MarAzul]

44? You post much older.

Like the sage of the age!

That used to be a compliment

 

[Lanny]

That used to be a compliment

That was before you turned 40.

I still take it as a compliment. I think the inference was that I posted like @MarAzul

Marzy? Now, there's the very definition of old. He makes me look like a schoolboy.

Old is what it is. Measured my biceps the other day when someone posted a Hulk Hogan pic. 17 inches. Seemed pathetic remembering his 24 inch pythons.

Then I Googled it and that ain't half bad for an old guy that takes no supplements.

I had biceps that big on my weak arm well into my 50s. I could leg press 560 lbs. And I worked out on the tread mill for 10 to 20 minutes beyond one hour.

Now, it's all I can do to stand up when I get off the couch. Everything's falling apart. See what you've got to look forward to?

I don't think you have the picture Lanny.

I'm going for 20s by 50.

Oh yeah. I'm hoping my knees make it another 15 years. They feel really good right now. I think my calf muscles were keeping them unbalanced.

glad you're on the mend....I used to take an aspirin a day until I discovered I had more than enough blood thinner because I eat a lot of kale in my diet...the combination is overkill....not a good thing. stopped the aspirin a couple years ago.

You need a couch remote control Lanny!

 

[crandc]

I had noticed I bruise easily, an aspirin result. I also eat kale & other greens from garden. Now, if there was any food that would heal the damn ankle, slowly improving....

Me too. I was trying to get an aerobic workout not a body building workout. Most of my reps were about 16 seldom less than 12. I worked out five times a week for about 2 1/2 hours per workout. I used every machine in the gymn and sometimes ducked next door to do some step bench aerobics. Then, my health started to fail and I had to give it all up. Now, an ambulance takes me back and forth to the hospital.

When I was about 18, I worked as a hod carrier for my father who was a brick layer. I once loaded up a wheel barrow that was caked in dried mortar mix and weighed about 100 lbs. I then loaded up the wheel barrow with 1,000 pounds of dry mortar in bags and wheeled over Georgia clay, recently run over by a bulldozer. The ground was dry and I had to go around a large apartment building we were bricking up, the long way. That was rough but I was strong as a bull and man handled that thing all the way. It was shortly after that that I went in the Army. I had little problem doing all the physical stuff. I was also a great shot.

If you do a Google map of my neighborhood right behind Lakeridge H.S. and you see the house with the large American flag, you'll be looking at my house. Yep, I'm back in Lake Oswego.
