Wouldn’t that tend to affect only the dominant arm? I have never been any kind of switch hitter but my arms are about equal. I have always had to go the gym to find a weight heavy enough to stimulate any muscle growth anyway. Don’t have anything that big just hanging around handy within easy reach.

I’m headed that way now.

I turn on the heater as I pass the chill coming from the blue zone off I 40 at the exit 15/501 to chapel hill

Oh come on. You lobbed me a slow pitch so I could knock it out of the park.

Sorry, bruh, that one is too easy even for me.

I weigh eighty six pounds more than when I signed up fifty two years ago.
= = = = = = = = = = =
When I enlisted in 56 was 5’9” 130 lbs (probably had some weights in my pocket) and got out 8 years later 6’ 148 lbs.
Stayed in the 150-160 range till I was 50 had a very significant life style change...
Went from the ‘field’ to riding around etc, stopped drinking, stopped smoking all 3 in same year...
I jumped to 180 quicker than you could say Jack Robinson and now at 24celcius I am in the 225 range and the only good thing I can think of is at my age I am NOT losing weight. (as compared to being ill and dropping weight).

Eat what I want, no regular hours sleeping, no prescription drugs (well NO drugs...caffeine), last Dr visit was 2007 for cataract surgery and still kicking along, with people not ‘believing’ my age....

VA was calling me to schedule an appointment... <: <: <:
Makes sense since they figure I won’t show.....

Bought my son a flight jacket from an Army/Navy store when in elementary school. Couple of sizes too big and he wore it till it was too small. He became a Marine, but when I pulled the jacket out of storage, he was thrilled and will give it to his son. Someday.

These people would have had kittens if they’d seen my high school in the 70s in the Winter. Army field jackets were very common attire. Olive drab, pretty much the same as used in WWII thru, what? The late 70s?

Yeah, but when I looked down I couldn’t see it.

Keep on truckin’ man, at this point I would totally disregard any advice from any doctor. There are SOME nurses I will listen to though. I learned long ago that anyone, male or female, who has had a long career in nursing has far more HANDS ON experience than any doctor and often they correctly diagnose the cause of a problem when the doctor gets it wrong. I have also noted that many of the older ones who are in good health and still moving well say that they refuse to take any kind of prescription, refuse flu vaccines etc. and are skeptical of most over the counter medicine,of course over the counter is usually something that used to be prescription only.

Despite those shortcomings you mentioned, prominently front/center were the blowjob kneepads in case the Obergruppenführer shows up unexpectedly.

My Mother, Father, 5 Aunts and 1 Uncle were RN’s.

That was sure an oddity when I was growing up.

My Father a Male RN licensed in the 30’s....

Whether I know it or remember etc am sure not much “good” was said in regards to MD’s during family gatherings...

The ONLIEST med I ‘believe’ in is APC....

Remember in the 50’s Navy APC was used for everything from Headaches to Clap (NSU if you were ‘designated’ a lifer).

Whoever made that pic needs a punctuation lesson.

No apostrophe needed.

Yep. Class of ‘82 here. At our high school, the fashion was to wear jackets we bought at the Army-Navy store. That might make some veterans here cringe, but we wore coats from the Army-Navy store - even the girls did (of which I am one).

And camo / fatigues have been in style for the past 15 years or so.

And I wonder how many of us homeschoolers have noticed homeschooled students wearing “gun vests” to co-op class.

OTOH, considering the school shootings over the past 15-20 years, I can understand why school employees overreact these days.

LOL. See my post #79 above. I said the same thing - jackets from the Army-Navy store were fashionable back then - even some of us girls wore them.
