    Help a brother out

    One example -- I stopped going out for lunch years ago, but not for health reasons. I have a light breakfast, usually a breakfast bar or something (like Kind, the ones you find in the breakfast cereal aisle), and a frozen dinner for lunch. I prefer the Marie Calendar brand, but others are...

  2. Going blind, selling all my guns.

    Yes, major medical for the opthalmologist. And there are a lot of treatment options to help fix it, mitigate it, or push it off for years.

    Reoccurring Tonsillitis

    I had strep repeatedly every year as a kid and teenager. I begged, but Doc said, "We don't do tonsillectomies any more." After getting married (wife had the same history) we saw an ENT. Told him the story and he said, "We pull them when they need to come out!" He was one who still used the...

  4. Got the crud (NOW COVID POSITIVE)

    I got it in July for the second (or maybe third) time. Never missed a day of work, but I had ZERO energy and couldn't do anything extra for two months to the day. Now my stamina remains diminished a bit, although I can do every kind of hard labor I used to do -- fell trees, carry heavy bags...

    Go for a run….

    I hurt my ankles in 1985 jogging with defective shoes. In 2001 I started using a treadmill in the garage, and after a couple of years I could do a short, light jog without experiencing crippling pain. In 2014 I joined the Georgia State Defense Force at age 54, and learned in training (out of...

  6. School me on bicycles

    If you really want to enjoy it, make sure to get the bike fitted. Some of the good shops have people trained in how to size and adjust the bike to fit you -- long legs or short, how far is your reach to the handlebars, etc. It might cost a few dollars for the service. And get one from a good...

  7. Overcoming Fear

    A relative fell off an 8' ladder and broke his hip. Got an infection and almost died from it. Major loss of family income for a year or two. It's a legitimate concern (I wouldn't call it fear). I don't know how old you are, but at 62 I still do it, but I'm much more cautious. We aren't as...

  8. Men over 50 should not use a chainsaw.

    ****. Now men over 50 can't walk by the river, either. Seriously, I hope you heal up quickly.

  9. Biking or Cycling for exercise

    I love it. Been cycling off and on since 1967 when I got a 5-speed Schwinn with a banana seat. Cycling equals freedom! But I can't stand an indoor cycling trainer -- it's not comfortable, and I feel no forward progress. You need a good bike, a good shop to dial it in correctly and give you...

  10. Ok men … I need some help

    crossrope.com -- Buy the two kits -- Get Lean, and Get Strong, plus a mat so the weighted ropes will last longer. Then get the phone app, which will count your jumps (neither here nor there, but satisfying), and give you a wealth of big or small workouts to get you into shape. Lots of aerobic...

  11. Any long term post jab side affects…(serious answers please)

    Bad tinnitus after the second Moderna injection. It started the next day and hasn't stopped for 9-1/2 months. It's tolerable, but definitely new and related to the shot.

  12. Moderna Accine Question

    Mtnsmith, I'm 60, but I have the opposite problem; a low platelet count. I read that a vaccine, don't know which one, can cause low platelet problems. It's been a month and a half, so I'm going to get a physical and ask the Dr. to take blood to make sure that one issue didn't go crazy after...

  13. Anyone do Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

    Sleep is the first (and maybe only) answer. Maybe try power naps? 15 - 30 minutes at a time when you can, where you can. I bought an app for my phone called Sleep Cycle (there are others) that tracks your sleep and analyzes it. It's pretty good, but the main thing is it has a power nap...

  14. Let’s see your home gyms

    Have you tried the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells yet? I've been looking at them and I wonder how you like them.

  15. Life Advice?

    Let Mike Rowe try to help you along: https://www.mikeroweworks.org/ And part of the college/university experience to to figure out exactly what you're trying to figure out. The first two years are devoted to getting a broad cross-section of basic skills and knowledge, and exploring areas...

  16. Let’s see your home gyms

    I don't have actual pics of my setup but here are generic pics of my equipment. I bought a used Bowflex for weight training; we've got a Bowflex stair climber that was intended for others but I'm the only one who uses it; and I just added a set of Crossropes weighted jump ropes. The last is...
