Have you considered the possibility that you are the clone family backup?

I fucked up my arm again yesterday. I woke up at 2am in pain. Put on my compression thing and took a tylenol. Still hurts this morning but not as badly. Jesus, getting old sucks for injuries. I just want to lift weights god damnit. :messenger_loudly_crying:
I think my wife’s advice on upper back/neck pain has been pretty effective, also she’s taped my back with KT and it’s been helping me too. If you’ve got an injury, I’d get some professional advice. I was kinda like “oh yeah this tape and posture shit is really gonna help…” at first, but it did.

Now my advisor sleeps in the same bed so I realize it’s not so easy for everyone, but the relief is probably worth the cost to get into a PT if the pain is not going away within a week or two.

How old are you? I recently turned forty.

Not too long now until regular ass and ball exams! (I've had neither from a doctor but the girls checking said I was mighty fine so I'm not worried).

Being serious though a prostrate exam is recommended (Once you hit 40) but I just can't bring myself to get it done.

The horror stories I heard from a dude I lived with in Spain and he was getting his ass checked after an accident, regularly. I'd have to be tranquilized.

I think it's fifty and above here in the UK. I think I'll stick to getting a psa test when the time comes, not perfect but better than nothing.

Upper back and neck pain? Is this a muscular or joint problem? I'd recommend seeing a decent chiropractor for joint issues and if it's a muscular problem a decent masseuse.

Pretty sure it’s muscular. The wife advice and Peggies Peggies yoga video, which I forgot to mention, seem to have resolved it.

I really couldn’t turn my neck down, left, or right without feeling pain/tension a couple weeks back. Now it’s back to normal.

I'm old years old.

It is tennis elbow. I Had to do more shoveling yesterday. Shoveling is what gave me the tennis elbow. I should have just waited for my elbow to heal but I got greedy. I had it my other arm before so I know the stretches and whatnot to do, I just need to actually do them.

Goddamn, you old farts are old!
There’s like three trajectories: experience, mental ability, and physical ability.

The latter two start to decline before you know it, while the experience keeps going and helps compensate until you stop remembering anything and then you get mad at everyone, squander your wealth and die thinking “maybe I should’ve named all my sons Adolf” or “let’s try invading Ukraine that’s a neat trick!”

When I decide to die, I'm heading to Switzerland to the suicide pods.

After watching my grandmother decline and not even know who I or my father was for like 7 years before she passed, I fully support going out on your own terms.

Mine’s probably just starting the truck up in the garage but the EV future is probably going to ruin that before it needs to happen. So I’ll probably order Domino’s or something

Testing a theory. I just ate 1000mg of CBD while I enjoy my morning coffee. One of three things should occur:

1. I will become Keanu Reeves chill for a few hours
2. Nothing
3. I'll be going back to bed in about 30 minutes

CBD’s only effect as far as I could ever tell was to mellow some of the more anxiety-inducing effects of THC, which is the reason I like it mixed. But on its own I don’t think it’s ever done anything for me.

Anyway

Speaking of Rogan he's had some good guests on lately. Roger Waters was interesting. He's supposedly not been high since the 70s. He doesn't care for it.
I listened to the clip about Syd because despite his asinine takes about recent events, it’s interesting and you can tell he still cares for him.

Also my older child got back from the trip and would not stop talking last night, and won’t stop talking this morning. My god, I missed you kiddo and love you, but you’ve said the same thing back to me 20 times in 20 minutes go eat your Cheerios

My most Toobin-like offense was not realizing I was sharing my screen of IMs in Teams with this same auditor either last year or the year before where I wasn’t necessarily disparaging her but voicing some frustration with a line of questioning to my specialist. I realized after I don’t know how long and my specialist was like “it was long enough, I didn’t know how to tell you without IMing because we all could see.”

My greeting from her today felt very “hello Newman.”

I come in and see talks about chronic pain and aging them it turns into Rogan fanboys, did stumble into a frigg8n senior citizens home? Its 6 pm guys let's get you all tucked in!
If the implication is with her sister I think I’d rather run to the hills. If I had to guess here, about the same height, wife is 115 and the sister...I’d put money on double.

On my way home from dinner with a colleague. Left chaos dwarf with husband at home. Just got an unasked text message saying "Don't worry about us. We're fine. Enjoy your dinner!"
So now I'm kind of worried...
