(Unless you use my advanced spin technique which is another story) Which is why they say don't use Q-tips. And you'd have to be an idiot to damage your eardrum doing it yourself, that's another lame excuse. Just don't do it on a bumpy bus or while biking and you'll be fine.

    Sorry to hear about yer hips though.

In fact, I think when people do take it back a notch, that's when they get hurt, when they're tentative. Currently terrified that whatever approach I take with my hips, my skiing will take several steps back, in which case I'm not sure how much enjoyment I will derive from it. That will definitely fuck with me in a way that I have not yet experienced.
    Don't take it back a notch. Go climb Mt. Everest.

    Stop taking the Xanax. That shit is pure poison. My ears still ring from that shit and I haven’t had one in a couple years.

    I did. I only took it for two weeks, not even every day.

    Fuck doctors handing out that shit. Ive always said no, but I was in a very bad way. I’ve gone through the whole cycle of anger, depression and learning to live with this whooshing noise in my head.

    Are WeAR Ear Dentists employees or contractors?

    It's a superposition of legal states. Amazingly when it's measure, it's never the one that costs WeAR money.

    I find this thread to be positive, we are not getting younger. I’m just trying to hold on to what I got. 54 years old, I want to stay after it for another 10 years. After that, I’ll be content with a few ebikes and skiing nothing but early morning groomers. Not drinking or smoking goes a long way in helping to achieve that goal, now if I can just lay off the sugar. I love cookies and pretty much anything at the local bakery!
    Had a physical yesterday. BMI is 22.23, O2 saturation is 98%, resting heart rate, which they had to check 3 times, with two different devices was 48!

    As an FYI for any middle age people, of which it appears are most of us, the tinnitus, which I have, can also be increased by stuff like Advil. So the irony is that as I need more anti-inflammatories to do what I want, the result is increased ringing.
    " Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) are known to cause ringing in the ears." https://www.goodrx.com/blog/these-11...g-in-the-ears/

    This one cracked me up:

    That’s how I’ll know.

    Newspaper is a lot more useful if you run out of TP.

    Interestingly I have the same stats, and am the same age.
    However, I smoke a pack of Marlboros, drink a six pack of Dr pepper, a little weed, every day. Get drunk a couple times a week also. Probably tempting fate, but WTF, I'm not sure I really want to spend another 30+ years in this fucked up world.

    I rarely take any pills, ever; maybe a vitamin I every six months. I blame my ringing ears on too many Husker Du shows in the 80’s.

    As, a child I was given the impression that I would be offered free drugs much more often than the 0 times that it actually happened.





    Seriously, health class was just a big tease. Where the hell is my angel dust, pcp and syphilis?

    Thanks Obama.......

    Angel dust and PCP are the same shit.
    Syphilis and herpes are not the same.
    There will be a quiz on Friday.
