I'm nearly 50.
I can still remember being 50I'm nearly 50.
Me too - barely.I can still remember being 50
So there is that
it's not that the ride gets bumpier, its just that you lose what little ass you ever had....i'm gonna start carrying a cushion with me when ever i leave the houseI don't know about that. I know 50 somethings that are already 80 something in their heads and 80 somethings that still think they're teenagers. I know my mind is still always seeking answers and has a juvenile bent I hope lasts 'til the end. Act your age they say but fuck that. Only old farts say that because they've given up on life and are generally miserable and like to make others miserable so they don't feel so alone.
After 50 the ride gets bumpier but it can still be a good ride.
Pant drop !it's not that the ride gets bumpier, its just that you lose what little ass you ever had....i'm gonna start carrying a cushion with me when ever i leave the house
I sit on a barely inflated small boat trailer inner tube with a flat cushion on top of that. My gluteus maximus has become gluteus minimus since I stopped riding a bike everywhere 20 years ago. I was getting serious pain down there and had a shit-ton of tests and scans until one doc asked what I did when I wasn't working and it was sitting on a firm seat in front of the damn computer putting pressure on my prostate causing the pain. Way better these days.it's not that the ride gets bumpier, its just that you lose what little ass you ever had....i'm gonna start carrying a cushion with me when ever i leave the house

Now it's the enlarged prostate thing but the cushion still works for that too. Damn thing got to 75cc but 4 months before my 3rd MRI last Aug I started taking a small dose of RSO every night and the damn thing shrunk back to 55cc when it started at 60 with the first MRI over 3 years ago. Blew my urologist's mind. He said he's never seen that happen without massive doses of pharma meds or surgery. My PSA dropped almost 2 full points so he's no longer asking me to get a biopsy. Just a PSA test every 6 months and another MRI 2 years from the last one to keep an eye on things. I take zinc, copper, selenium and saw palmetto to deal with the LUTS, (lower urinary tract symptoms), and am way better down there now than I was even 5 years ago.

After the last 3 years of wondering if it's cancer my usually chronic depression is damn near gone. Might be partly from giving up the booze in May but I'm having the best holiday season mood wise than I've had for decades.GOLDEN

Got a buddy 4 years younger than me with 4th stage prostate cancer and he sure could use you sympathy a lot more than me but thanks for the thought. I'm feeding him all the RSO he can handle in a last ditch attempt to save his ass but he's not looking long for this world I'm afraid. When he got diagnosed it had already spread to his bones. I can't believe he didn't start looking into it before it got that far but he says he wasn't having any bad symptoms until then.
Most prostate cancers are very slow growing and once you're in your 60s you have a 75% chance of having it. About 5% are the ones that kill you before something else does. All men over 50 should be paying attention to what's going on down there before you end up like my buddy. Read teh Whole Life Prostate Book by a Dr. Ballentine and The Great Prostate Hoax by Richard J. Ablin, the researcher who discovered the prostate specific antigen and developed the PSA test back in 1970 and how the medical establishment destroys thousands of men's lives with unneeded, expensive surgeries and other procedures. Especially in the US with it's greedy, money grubbing medical care system that puts profit before people.
Stay healthy out there!
Every major western country has some form of universal health care except the US and millions suffer either/both medically or financially because of it. This whole mindset of it's socialism leading to communism is so ingrained in the American psyche but I think it's the fat cats that stand to profit from it keeping the status quo and promoting that mindset.The doctors and surgeons of today have saved me several times
And the only reason I had issues was lack of proper health care due to lack of insurance
If people had any idea how expensive and always increasing it was they would be pushing the affordable care like scripture
But now we just keep hearing how great it used to be bs
I don’t care your current health or age everyone needs a regular and honest relationship with a doctor
If they care about those they love
End rant
The fat cats will ALWAYS profit from us, even if they have to make us sick to do it. BTW, anyone that thinks government can spend your money more wisely than you can, isn't very smart. Private sector is always better....I think it's the fat cats that stand to profit from it keeping the status quo and promoting that mindset.
Ok now do the prisons for profit?The fat cats will ALWAYS profit from us, even if they have to make us sick to do it. BTW, anyone that thinks government can spend your money more wisely than you can, isn't very smart. Private sector is always better.
There is plenty of incompetence in the private sector. It is not always better.The fat cats will ALWAYS profit from us, even if they have to make us sick to do it. BTW, anyone that thinks government can spend your money more wisely than you can, isn't very smart. Private sector is always better.
Oh you want to see an epic rant? That would do it.Ok now do the prisons for profit?
40 kind of bothered me but 50 was just another day.When I was like 25 I figured turning 50 would scare the bjesus outta me me but it didn’t. My life is the best it’s ever been. Happy new year all!
