to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

Apparently the question is, “How many more gray hairs do you have this month?” That, or “How many times did your joints creak when climbing the stairs this morning?”

If anyone wants to cheer me up, post pictures of muscle cars and/or 60's-70's luxury cars.

Do you have your towel?

Really?! You’re 42? I’m turning 40 in a little less than two months. To say that I’m freaking out a little about it is an understatement.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

You say that likes it’s a bad thing.

The only people who got killed were assholes. And a couple of innocent bystanders at the end, but whatever.

I also watched American Pyscho 2 last night. I like Mika Kunis, but don’t watch it. Turrble.

The Lincoln Continental is exquisite straight from the factory. Nothing more needs to be done to it.

If that Miata has a trunk full of sandbags and a black top with a bunch of gray patches, sure.

Hmm when I saw this it was posted 42 minutes ago, too. Coincidence? I think not.

Pfft... I’ve been there and done that. I’m 43.

40 is just another number just like 39.

Your life was over since you turned 30 anyway... LOL

Does life end once you have the first child or after you have your last planned child?

If it’s the former, then my life ended at 27. If it’s the latter, then my life ended at 30.

But I’m divorced now and have a girlfriend and my kids aren’t really kids anymore... so does that mean I’ve come back to life like Jesus?

As a guy that just turned 48. That boulder of life rolling down hill really picks up speed after 35 or so.

48 didn’t flip me out until I realized it was 30 years since I got out of high school. Weird

Nice lincoln!

Three years ago, I blew out my L4-L5 disk in my back, which led to discectomy surgery. It took me a solid two years to fully heal (i.e. no noticeable lasting effects with nerves, tingling in my legs, etc), so now I’m in weight loss mode. I’ll have the extra lbs gone by the end of summer, but I’d like to live healthier in the last 40 years of my life than I did in the first 40.

Ouch. 2 years holy hell. I’ve got a bulged disc that I’ve tried putting off for surgery but running out of options. Your not helping though lol.

Cheers to old age it sure beats the alternative.

I’ll allow it. Both of them.

PatBateman > vondon302 03/25/2017 at 11:40

When I say “fully heal”, I mean “feel 100% normal”. That disc wasn’t going to heal itself, so the quickest option was surgery. I probably should have started exercising after a few months (walking on a treadmill, build up my lower back muscles, etc), but it scared me half to death when I felt a huge twinge of pain when I sneezed and felt tingles in my left leg. I have none of that anymore, but I need to basically get skinny-ish with my natural linebacker build before focusing on anything more strenuous than a brisk walk.

The discectomy is totally worth it, btw.

Thanks! Actually, what we really could use is for the clouds to roll in and dump some snow a few times. We’ve spent a lot of March in the 70s and we’re way below normal for precipitation. I’d like the entire state to not be on fire this summer.
