Got Problems?

Recommended Posts

My balance is really off these days. My right knee (multiple surgeries) and right hip both causing poor stability and recently my left knee started acting up. I will not pursue any more surgery until this Fall. Maybe longer if I can put up with a little discomfort.

Sorry to hear this. Why not get the surgery done sooner? No sense it struggling through the pain and potentially damaging your knee and hips more.

Genuinely sorry to hear of your knee problems, but as Hacker noted, be careful with it.   You know its been said that the first things to go on a man are his knees.   First his right knee, then his left knee and finally his wee knee.

Sorry to hear about your knee problems.  Personally, I'm in MDG's camp on surgery earlier than later.  It's not going to get better on its own and could result in more issues if delayed.

True about the knees,  but it's not always in that order.   :unsure:

Sorry to hear about the knees. Both of mine are shot and will be replaced in 10 years when I turn 50. After numerous surgeries on both knees (I think I am in the area of 18 or 19 combined) I made the same decision to just deal with the pain and moved on. Altered my lifestyle a bit and quit playing baseball in my early 30's was the start. Advil and rest are good ways to recoup a bit.

My uncle Johnny Walker and Jim Beam got me through many bouts with knee pain.

OK, my rant is a criticism of (gasp!) MGS (egads!!!)...

 

The blog article about the WalMart clubs vs. $1,000 set - while somewhat interesting but with an unsurprising conclusion - was published Feb 7th (weeks and weeks ago) but yet emails promoting the story are still being sent out....

 

Perhaps .. a better email might be a Bi-Weekly digest of the past 2 weeks *new* blog articles?

 

Thx

Yes, that article seems to keep resurfacing periodically.  "Let's do the Time Warp again!"

They're posting under your name. Everybody is saying 'welcome back Bill'

It is kind of funny reading all those, knowing it's not him.  As I told OG, it's almost like hearing people at your wake talk about you....LOL

This is weird. :ph34r:   I tried to go back and login to THP using Ole Gray & Ole Blue but I couldn't get it to work.  I tried five times and it locked me out.  Soooooo if one of you Spys want to go back on the forum and tell em I can't get in and to thank those folks for thanking me for "coming back".  :wacko: Heck I had a ton of good friends on that forum and still do so I did look at the thread as a visitor and was quite impressed with the kind words.   Good folks over there!

I haven't logged into that site in almost 18 months and have no plans on ever going back to that fake community ever again

 

Hell I can't log on as ole gray because my password apparently can't be reset ( I couldn't remember the old one). I even tried to go in and register again so I could have the password reset and it said admin did not recognize my email address.   WTF and how did ole blue log in as ole gray! :wacko:
