    LOL. That’s one thing I don’t need help with!

    Getting old sucks

    I'm retiring at the end of the month. I always though it would be a joyous time but I'm struggling. I've worked with my son for the last 15 years and I'm going to miss our daily interaction. And I've been doing the 8-5 for over 45 years. Every morning I woke up with something to do or accomplish. I've got a good flex time job lined up for about 10 days a month so I'm not stopping cold turkey but it's going to take some time to adjust. And on top of that I've got to have an MRI, surgery and a tooth crowned the first month off. For the last few years, I've focused on retirement priorities and finances, so we're in good shape for now. But I never thought through this actual retirement part of getting old.
  3. Didn't know where to put this but it's for real.
  4. Saw this in Oregon
  5. For some reason we always told our kids "If fish had butts and we were all nuts, what a Christmas we would have." Yeah it makes no sense but it made them laugh.
  6. When he dropped the line “you really need to be in THIS car”, I told him they made about 40,000 of them this year so if I don’t buy this one, I bet I can find another one.

    I took Flomax for 2 days. The second night I passed out in the bathroom. I barely made it to the floor before everything went black. Probably a blood pressure drop but I refused to take it after that.

    When we were discussing treatment he mentioned TURP and something I couldn't catch (hearing aids are next). I asked chatgpt about his preferred procedure and it said HoLep first and Turp second depending on size. I'll ask him about them when we speak after the MRI.
  9. We went in looking for a '25 model they had listed. Salesman said it was in back and was gone for about 10 minutes. He came up in a '26 model and said he couldn't find the '25. We drove it but I told him we were really wanting a 25 model they were willing to deal on. He said he thought he could make us a good offer on the '26 and went to talk to his manager. He was gone about 10 minutes and I told my wife that I knew they wouldn't make any deals on a '26 and that if he couldn't find the '25 we were going to walk. 5 minutes later he came back with the keys to the '25 model he "found" and never brought up the '26. IDK if they really do but it was odd that the sign was on the wall behind the cubicles.

    Had a Dr visit the other day because my PSA is up again. He doesn't think it's cancer because it's been much higher before. But he thinks it's severe BPH and wants me to have another MRI. If BPH is confirmed, he's talking surgery to clear obstructions. He mentioned TURP and some other I didn't catch. Has anyone had this procedure done? A lot of the side effects are rare but include incontinence, impotence and retrograde ejaculation. Nothing that I want to experience.
  11. Years ago, I told my wife I thought car dealers sales cubicles were bugged so they could hear your conversation when they went to “talk to the manager.” I feel vindicated now.
  12. On the goal line stand, OSU had 5 men between/over the guards and center. The down linemen submarined and stopped the push, everyone else crashed the pile. I don't understand why someone didn't realize that there were 5 people in the spot they were going to run it and call a timeout to regroup. I was going to post the video but it just pisses me off.
  13. Probably to screw OSU out of playing in the horseshit at night.
  14. Where did Ohio State find all the school crossing guards for their band?
  15. I believe he's in this book.
  16. Texas 27 OSU 17 Yards 259
  17. Years ago. Better gas mileage and less pressure fluctuation! Padding the ticket and easy money. I told the last salesman to take the nitrogen out and put regular air in it and take $500 off the price.
  18. She is right now because I can't stand car sales people and go into full prick mode when dealing with them. They act like their doing you a favor by bending you over the hood as they pad the ticket. When the last guy wanted $1000 for nitrogen in the tires and read window tinting, I asked him how much extra pinstriping and Scotchgard would be. It went completely over his head.
  19. She's had 2 Hyundai's and my daughter has one. I was the same way but I have to admit they have been bulletproof. My daughters Sonata has 190,000 miles on it and has never been in the shop once. Every mechanical piece is original. My wife had one that had a motor defect and they replaced it free of charge and gave her a lifetime warranty on the replacement. The only reason she's not driving a new one now is because of the dealers around here. I've been a salesman for 40 years and view car buying as Thunderdome. I know all the tricks. The dealers around here either publish the MSRP as "no haggle pricing" and you have to fight for every discount or they lowball the sell price and add crap on like the $1000 nitrogen and window tinting to pad the bill. I tend to say "cut the bullshit or I'll walk". And I've walked a lot lately.
  20. Of course she is. That's why she sleeps with the thermostat on 68 degrees while I freeze my ass off at night.
  21. My wife wants a new mid-size SUV. I've found several for her to test drive. This morning she told me she didn't want one with a twist knob for transmission selection. I told her that eliminates a lot of vehicles and ask why it was a deal breaker. She said it was because we broke a plastic knob on an oven 30 years ago and she doesn't trust them. She also got mad at me because I walked away from a deal after the dealer added $1000 to our negotiated price for nitrogen in the tires and tinting on the back windows. She said I was being too rigid and unreasonable. The next day, she started reading about it on the internet. She said websites said it was a bad deal and agreed with me. She couldn't say I was right but she did say that strangers on the internet said it was bad, so it was ok to walk away.
  22. IDK but I do believe the nutritional info includes the "explosive diarrhea" warning required on some medicines.
  23. Fred Dibnah was a steeplejack in England. These vids show how he built a ladder as he climbed up a smokestack. I'm not sure how he could climb ladders with balls this big. In some of the old videos he climbs with a cigarette and after a few drinks.
