58 because I could, but after 2 years felt bored and useless. Realized if you love what you do it's not work. Now work half time six days a week. Healthier, and much better off. I need the structure and expectations as I'm not real good at setting them for myself.

Same thing happened to me. Goofy looking souped-up Honda. You know the kind. 2K dollars worth of wheels on a 500 dollar car. Robocop said "I HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH. STAND CLEAR!!" FYI Siri can be changed to a male voice or given an accent in your settings. Try asking "what should I be for...

As rare as it supposedly is, I have two friends that have had it. One caught it early and it was a fairly easy cure. The other waited too long and it killed him.

Well said. You are what you eat. CAFO poultry, pork and beef are poison. ALL bison is grass fed and antibiotic free. There are no bison feedlots that pump them full of corn and soy. American grocery store lamb is finished exactly like beef. Aussie lamb is grass fed and finished. No feedlots for...

Offal is awesome!! Heart, cut into 1-inch cubes, salted and peppered. In a dutch oven, brown bacon and onions and halfway thru add the deer. Cook on medium high till the meat browns. While the meat browns mix well together with a good splash of non-scots whiskey, about 2 cups of sour cream and...

Melting brains was my first thought here too. It is indeed a problem in farmed deer herds and not completely unknown in wild populations. These wasting diseases are mostly caused by poorly understood retro-viruses or even smaller nasties. Whether they are able to mutate to other species is not...

All the bums say god bless you. They know it often works.

A good and fair comparison. I know many girls who would prosper in a system like the Boy Scouts, and would be bored silly in Girl Scouts. No doubt it's time for GSA to join the 21st century. This scouting jackpot is just another symptom of our changing views on gender roles. Now I have to go...

Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow here, a long time ago. My experience in scouting was extremely sectarian and un-militaristic. We focused on wilderness skills; woodcraft, desert survival, etc. I have long disapproved of what has happened to the local troops I am aware of here. They all seem...

No raw eggs, no dairy past weaning age. Cats are naturally lactose intolerant after they are weaned. Dairy products can cause intestinal upset and diarrhea. Raw eggs contain an enzyme that sequesters B vitamins, preventing their uptake in susceptible cats. There's also the risk of E Coli and...

I only have trouble hearing distinct speech in a noisy, crowded room. Otherwise, I'm fine. So Monday-Friday in middle school classrooms and Saturday behind a popular bar. Other than those days, I don't think I need hearing aids.

I don't know if I can take much more of this. 40s - 80s, bluebird skies, bone dry. Ugh!!

Don't feel rained on. We don't qualify for a tax break under the ACA, and there is only ONE provider here in AZ. BCBS. I have medicare and a supplement but the wife is a long ways from medicare and our 24 year old son is a kayaker, mountain climber and general outdoor risk taker. No way he'll...

I see all those J.D. Power awards, and most of the ones that are heavily advertised-the GM ones- are for Initial Quality. Big deal. Let me see the awards for SUV's and trucks when they have 200K miles on their clocks. Extreme long-term reliability. I know from experience. I gave my 93 4wd...

Hay hooks normally have the handle perpendicular to the direction of the hook. I don't think it's a hay hook. From the looks of it it'd make a lousy hoof pick as well. The end of the handle would get in your way cleaning out a hoof. I'm going with some kind of specialized hanger.

I always thought of it as a greeting from Marine to Marine, so don't use it. I find other ways to acknowledge service. As has already been said, wouldn't want to look like you're trying to come off as something you're not.

My PSA is in normal range, but I noticed at my last physical that it had doubled in two years, from 1.5 to 3. My GP says the prostate is a bit enlarged but normal and I should wait and retest in 6 months, or go see a urologist. Should mention I don't have any significant symptoms. Being a worry...

I had let myself slip in the last year. I have a terrible sweet tooth and although we don't buy sweets at home, there are always donuts, muffins etc. at work and if I see it, I have a hard time not eating it. Out of sight, out of mind. So at my physical my A1C test was at the high end of normal...

If you put the shotguns up here would you please post a reminder in this forum? Nice collection, somebody had real good taste.

Besides the gout attacks I no longer have, last year I got up fast in the middle of the night after hearing some commotion out in the pasture. Headed full blast in the dark for the back door I kicked a cast iron plant stand real hard. Pain put me straight down on the floor. Next morning the 3rd...
