Does arthritis count?

Oh yeah that counts, I have traumatically induced arthritis from my injuries. At the time I aked my surgeon what I could do about it .His answer was " Get used to it." I'm hopeing that I can get him to sign off for my MM card though, I used to sell hash to him and his brother years ago when they were at university, I'll have to remind him of that....

Well shit 40, if I had of known I was going to live this long I would of taken a lot better care of my body. I spent a lot of years being foolish ,and now I'm paying the price. I've been hurt at work and on the road too often in my youth though.

start NOW .. proper diet, exercise - stay limber and active. (no surprise there)
cultivate your mind too -- lots of reading to keep your mental facilities sharp also.
cultivate your friends -- surround yourself with people who love and care about you. weed out the fools and hangers on.

I got 33yrs. left if genetics has anything to say about it..

I thought alot about all those things. Mostly the keeping your mind sharp. my grandma who raised me read everything, even read the tolkien series once a decade. In her last few years, i saw the dementia and alzheimers eat away at all her intelligence and sense.
I am so scared of not remembering what i am.

it is scary to think on. but at least we all get release from pain and suffering - the downside is no more joy or happiness either.

to purposefully change this morose subject - i love the tolkien series (big surprise there, huh?) - i usually re-read it every year or so. i also greatly enjoy the O'Brian Aubrey-Maturin series (master and commander) though i didn't think i would since British naval exploits was never high on my list of interests. But they are great reading and did spawn an interest in that era.

Trying out my new avatar.
New computer and I really miss my photoshop (old computer had photoshop 6.0).
I had to do this one in ms paint.
Anyone here ever use "photoshop elements" and what do you think of it? I'm thinking about buying that version but I'd like someones opinion of it first.
