TAM , first of all ....happy birthday and many more. I LOVE your posts and always value your opinion . Your responses are always well thought out and informative, not to mention, usually SPOT on. Thank you!
Age and pain are a relative thing. I'm only 50 and in the last 5 years have had more surgeries than I care to mention. Mostly caused by my inability to take care of myself in one form or another. So, take care of yourself you old pfffttt. We love ya, and value your contributions.

Carry safe and carry when and where you can. I'm just sayin'.

It's been a good day. My loving wife gave me a shower stool..........and I love it.

Good for you! Just starting into my semi-annual check-ups, samplings, etc., etc., the word "stool" threw me for a minute.The Annoyed Man wrote:Oh heck yeah it is!

No, I have a really bad back, so it is often hard for me to bend over far enough in the shower to wash my lower legs and feet; and when it is really acting up, just standing for any period of time is painful. A simple white plastic stool with four white painted metal legs makes it easy to shower without inflicting pain on myself.

I have similar infirmities PLUS I've apparently blown out a knee this summer while in the north country. I need to look into one of those. ITMT, enjoy being three score and none. The rest will come soon enough.

Actually, THIS one should have been $35. If the computer printed out $70, it can be fixed.MoJo wrote:![]()

Happy Birthday young 'un - - - I have you by six years and have similar aches and pains. Most of mine are self inflicted from being 10 feet tall and bulletproof in my misspent youth. I tell folks all the time if I had known it was going to hurt this badly I would have done more because the fun back then isn't worth the pain now; I know I would have done the same stuff anyway. Remember, old age isn't for sissies it takes a tough guy or gal to put up with life after 60.![]()
One of the benefits of being 60 is your next CHL renewal will only cost $35!
Happy Birthday
