    Roll Call

    At your age, you have every right to feel as you want. I say do whatever gives you the least pain. Hugs and hope you can shake the depression soon.

    Standard Transmissions

    I learned to drive a manual, starting with tractors, then pickups, and later trucks. I have driven far more manuals than automatics. I have driven both 3 and 4 speed with shift on the column. I converted my 55 Chevy Bel Aire to a floor shift. Three on the floor. My old Mercedes had 4 on the...

    Moving!

    I got to float in it when I was 10. It was really receding then, 1960. I was never a good floater, but had no problem. I remember seeing the small brine shrimp in it and also the Morton salt factory with many hills of salt. Last time I went by it, 1980, there little left of it.

    The Tractor Thread

    I notice this one has a PTO on front with pulleys. Not sure how that works and looks to run whenever the engine is running. I have seen photos of these pulling a small single share and small disc harrows. I read they made a front right side mounted sickle bar, but I bet the belt drive would be a...

    Moving!

    Wondering how the move went? I get exhausted just thinking about it. If I ever move, I will have to downsize by 80%.

    What's for Happy Hour?

    This mornings happy hour will be peanut butter mixed with honey on toast and hot chocolate. I guess to make it an official happy hour, I will add a shot of unflavored brandy. I use to use Christian Brothers, but now I use a more sinful sounding brand and no longer hear gossip music, but rather...

    Colonoscopies

    Accurate if you have cancer that is so bad it is bleeding. About the only cancer the poop sample test shows, is metastasized. The thing about the scope is it also has a tool for removing polyps so they can be biopsied. Also the colon can be examined for other disease. Endoscopy and Colonoscopy...

    The Tractor Thread

    I love this little guy! The Jim Dandy. I forget what company made it. I think this one is about 1960.

    Colonoscopies

    They didn't fail to detect it, it grew big around but flat in under 3 years. They took photos of my entire colon and the previous photos don't show even a polyp there. Not all colon cancer is slow growing. I don't think you are reading the data right. If 100 people have a routine colonoscopy...

    Colonoscopies

    If not for routine colonoscopies, I would be dead now. Nothing to a colonoscopy other than the prep is a bit unfun, but it is an easy way to remove precancer polyps. Even with having the procedure, at least every 3 years, some years two in a year, I still had a large cancer that cost me 1/3rd of...

    What's for Happy Hour?

    Since I eat 5 small meals a day, I have two happy hours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I use to have one beer at each, but haven't in the last couple years. I think I will start adding a beer again and put some life in my happy hours. This morning I had cheese and Ritz...

    Why I Hate Senior Forums

    Who is Joyce? PS ... I was referring to senior forums in general, not any specific one.

    Why I Hate Senior Forums

    I guess I should clarify. I hate the idea that a senior forum is the best forum for one my age and medical status. I don't hate the forum format or age restrictions or anyone on it, just that I fit in best with a bunch of old folks, that for the most part have lost or are losing their sense of...
