I do not refuse. My problem is I'm too fond of em. I really have to watch it. But a couple times a month or so, I treat myself. I'm 72 years old for cripe sake, I think I deserve it.

Well BF,
It sure beats Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, George Dickel and Jose Cuervo, but they do throw a hell of a party!

They are my kind'a friends. The ol' lady can have the ones with whom she has become enamoured.

The doc I liked opened his own practice, you pay $1500 a year to be his patient, plus office call charges. Too rich for my blood. New guy from the same office is very condescending, doesn't listen well. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere, I hate doctor shopping.


That happened to us a few years his was $1850 we bailed and found a better, imo doc

Suxs. Drs here are tied either to the hospital conglomerate or the university. Lesser of 2 evils. University may be better, but may take months to get in, treated like livestock. Corporate is somewhat more human but most drs are bitter about losing control.

It's not like that here as far as most are independent or in a group of specialists, but the way insurance companies treat docs can make them have to change to survive. Ya gotta look out for yourself every minute pal

Most docs can't afford to support a private practice. They would have to hire nurses, medical secretaries, receptionists, accountants. My old doc who retired about 10 years ago sold his practice to a group of "associates". Said he wasn't practicing medicine any longer, just a paper pusher. Had no time for the medical part.

My wife, the sweet & lovely Sgt. Major, left me this note some time ago. I was devastated.

I am seeing five new gentlemen (give or take) everyday now!

As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

Then I go see John.

Then Charlie Horse comes along, and when he's here, he takes up a lot of my time and attention.

When he leaves, Arthur Ritus shows up and usually stays for the rest of the day.

He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint.

After such a busy day, I'm really tired. So, I am very glad to go to bed with Ben Gay.

What a life

I wish she wouldn’t send them my way when they leave her !!!

Dr found out how much ibuprofen I was taking and told me to get off of it. I'm finding out how many aches and pains I actually have! Going to have to find other options, as some of them are affecting quality of life. May have to investigate Spirit's bionic back.


Have you considered trying CBD Farmer? I know that Lee and maybe some of the others and I are using it and I’m having positive results. You might want to try it...🐟on

The CBD oil has done wonders for my dog. She has seizures that the docs weren't able to control with any of their meds. On the oil she's gone from having about one a day to maybe 3 or 4 in the past 6 months. I will admit I was very skeptical, but it's hard to argue with positive results. I tried the gummies for my back - did not notice that it had any affect at all. But I've heard other people say it worked for them.

I tried a free trial once, felt some relief, but I don't know if it was strong enough and couldn't justify the cost. The industry has evolved greatly since then, may be worth another shot.

Still ain't cheap. The oil is way less than the gummies, I do know that. My dog get's the lowest dose available and responds well to it. The VA and the insurance companies need to get on board - seems there's a lot of evidence out there to verify that it either works or it's hocus pocus.

Your right it’s not cheap and the oil is cheaper. But if it’s going to make my back feel better and let me get a better nights sleep I’m willing to shuck out a few extra bucks to achieve that. IMO 🐟on
