Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[alaskaleftybass]

I'm still doing a day job for three or four more years. Much longer than I expected but the union made a deal I couldn't refuse. Plus even at 66 I don't look or feel my age. Beginning to get creaky but still.... We spent three days travelling by ferry to Juneau for a car recall and checkup with a visiting specialist for wife Carey. Both turned out fine. We slept in, ate in nice restaurants, didn't do dishes, and acted like tourists. Cute waitress and front desk clerk flirted with me. Woot woot!

Came back to work this morning. Phone was blinking with requests. A gazillion email requests. A gift card from a coworker from Subway for setting up her computer on a different desk. No place like home!

Sorry guys, nothing but good news from me tonight. Tomorrow I have to sit with the boss in a "department" meeting for an hour. Blah blah blah. Then I'll be grumpy!

update...earth is still round, water is still wet, and anything beyond having blood pressure taken should be done under general anesthesia.

The worst seems to be over, but 'they' tell me I won't see any any improvements for 3-6 months. For that degree of pain, embarrassment, and agony, you'd think the results would have been instantaneous.

'They' also say say broccoli is good for me. There, I put my foot down.

Wife says it's time to schedule another colonoscopy. I was wide awake for the last one and carried on a conversation with the doctor. This time I'm insisting on better drugs... I can't help that I've built up a tolerance...

Why? Broccoli tastes great! Especially with a few drops of gravy. I often put Broccoli in my salads.

You are a sickman

 

[BassmanPaul]

You are a sickman

And you were a stickman so we're even! LOL

I hope that this medical problem is behind you my friend.

Broccoli may be good for me, but most definitely NOT for those who are anywhere near me an hour or two after I eat it.
then then then finally

Dunno...messed up tragically today and went to a business thing in Abilene. 135 Miles there was pretty rough.. the trip back was...something I'll try to forget

They say that broccoli is one of those miracle foods. We steam some every day.

Different strokes...

I'm going this route instead:

I'm with you, but I use rum instead. There's one more benefit that I'd add. Makes me a lot more pleasant to be around (even if the effect is temporary).

I'm going this route instead:

A balanced diet is always good, IMHO...

Edit: with a few glasses of wine thrown in for good measure.

I'm not sure I'm seeing any verifiable results in you guys.

Broccoli costs a lot less than whiskey.

This costs about $2000 today, fifteen years ago it was $200. Not a bad investment.

That's the problem with the internet. You can't always see the results. You just have to trust us .

About as far as I can throw you.

Empty bottles don't go for much.

Would it make any difference if we said we had an HPF ?

I pick it out of my salads

I think our behinds have been the medical topic of discussion lately

Good Lord, man, didn't you just have your wanker rebuilt? You got to break it in slowly!

After your recent experiences, and my good soldier getting the holes expanded by means of forceps while awake, I'm thinking if it acts up again, I might just grab my machete and go out back to a tree stump and Bruce Jenner myself.
