old goat replied to a thread Would you eat it? in The Padded Room

You still with us? And if so I'd suggest not lighting any matches and make sure the pilot lights are out.

Hello old goat! Your profile says Truckee and you identified yourself as a general surgeon, so I'm wondering: which one? I'm married to one, and she doesn't post on TGR. Being on staff at TFH as well, I know what David drives, a Toyota, so not him. That leaves Harold and Larry so far as I know. Hmmm.

nice to hear from an older person on TGR for a change. Funny you should reply on the belafontes. Im tossing up the idea for them as an everyday v. the mantras. I prefer the 95 ish width of the mantras. As someone looking towards 45, its nice to hear not everyone is a speed flying huckmonkey
