my mum had one knee done 2 years ago and still gives her pain when walking...can't kneel when gardening...She is very frustrated...but living on...much exercise and physioThat's an exhibit I would gladly browse. Here in the future, browsing museums is one of those pleasures I can enjoy again, what with knees I can walk on(unsolicited advice: if any need two full knee replacements, do both at the same time. If you do one, you will not wish to repeat the experience for the other. Then you'll be left with one good knee and one bum knee. And a lot of cussing.)

Tissue regrowth has got to be a better option than prosthetic knees. That tech always seems to be just around the corner. Any day now. But for the next generation....
Accepted an invite for a free dinner thrown for the latest round of knee replacement surgery veterans. And really wasn't a bad dinner in any way. My table voted me to keep the floral centerpiece.
What I saw at the dinner was a lot of people. A quick headcount and a guesstimation of the income followed.
Certainly I know people who want to live to be 100, and would happily live to 800 ... How well that actually works out depends on where you live, and so on and so forth.

Been reading William Gibson lately. Most folks consider him the father of cyberpunk. Heinlein became increasingly messed up over the years...ended up wanting to have sex with himself.

A lady I know told me about cupping. She said the practitioner warned her "this will hurt". She said "this will hurt" didn't even begin to cover it.

Heinlein always seems to present something very cool and then screws it up with his own juvenile fantasies.
Now, that's (the sign) funny.
Summer NAMM SubRay5...?Your strings probably cost more than my current Sterling by Music Man SubRay4 bass.
Sold to the highest bidder on "Storage Wars".Any idea what happened to his locker?.....
To be read in your best Foghorn Leghorn voice:
I'd expect as much from you flatlanders.
Not a decent golf course in the entire state.
They say... I say...they say it's God's waitin' room,
but I think the line is just to buy cigarettes!
Used to laugh when the Florida crowd comes up to Augusta in the summertime, ......more oxygen tanks than a scuba divin' convention!
I freely admit the atmosphere is a bit moist, but I think pontoons on your Hoveround are overkill.
Just greenin' ya!
Hall of Fame post!
I feel that way about Donald Fagen.
you say that like it's a bad thing
Saturday Reprise
Chicago was doing covers in clubs around their home town. They were good but couldn't break out of the rut. They were invited out to LA by a producer to work on their own material and see if they could make it there. James Pankow is a trombonist and arranger. He was a founding member of Chicago. He tells the story....
They met Jimi Hendrix who liked their songs so much that he asked the band to tour with him. Jimi always liked big band music and brought up the idea of recording with CTA. It could have been the next page in Jimi's career but he died before it could come to fruition.

Leonid & Friends is a band of professional musicians that got together to record a single song. It turned out pretty good. Fate now has them touring the world covering Chicago and others. The story behind the band is very interesting. They are doing another US tour this summer.

His wife told him to go ____ himself. It confused him (men are stupid).
I was wondering what thing was in the back corner of our storage porch....Any idea what happened to his locker?.....
This is quite cool. I don't remember these.
A couple of Frank Zapaa-ish moments in it, too!
