Just had that conversation with my doc last week. Now I get another pill to take and another visit in six months with labs. It’s a racket I’m telling ya…

im like hippie in that no shots since about boot camp

with a new doc at my last physical , he asked me what meds am I taking?

I said none

he said at my age most men are on about five different meds

no thanks

but vitamins and herbs and supplements?

I could open a store.

Damn' right -- they try like mad to keep you healthy so you will continue to pay them as the years go by. What a racket.

More like they push whatever big pharma is pushing them to push.

Ain’t that the truth.

I did get off two pills my last doc said I needed when I questioned my new doc about them.

Kinda made a vow not to kill the tree rats in our yard this year as long as they don't scratch like crazy if they have fleas . I just turn on my outdoor speakers with red tail hawk screeching ... hearing it the little f.uckers lay flatter than a pancake and then haul arse into the woods .. puts a smile on my face

patwi I could use some target practice, I never new rats hang out in trees. Neat about the hawk screeching. And the little bugger can lay flat when they think they is danger.

That's kewl... but it'd scare off my semi-tame bunnies. I cannot (yet) hand-feed them, but I have gotten to where they will sit frozen stiff a dozen feet away while I lay out some wildie nummies.

Fancy Pants and Beau (peacocks) will eat seeds outa my hand.

Note to ness2: The essential difference between a huge, ugly sewer rat and an adorable squirrel is the fluffy tail. That's it. The fluffy-tail rats climb trees.

So we have tree rats all over the place (including Himself's, who feeds them daily) and grandmas feed them in parks.

Just sayin'

I mean, couldja hate this -- beggin' for a peanut?

Or trying to bribe you for a peanut for her baby chillun?

my therapist once told me I was making progress when I told him I wanted to kill a few arse-holes , better choice than me

Anger is higher on the emotional tone scale than depression. Depression is higher than fear.

They have some secondary agenda! I take BP and enlarged prostate meds but nothing else other than supplements. I have low cholesterol around 130 and no plaque deposits showing, but two out of three of my last dotors tried to put me on cholersterol reduction drugs.

I give them tree rats apples every morning. If I’m late they come looking in my patio door.

I don't feed the squirrels or birds around our house because it draws rats and mice, but feed peanuts to the squirrels in the park, some of which will come when called and will eat out of my hand.

I remember one that was blind in one eye would sit on the picnic table Heidi Ho and I were at and eat the peanut it had taken from my hand, with her blind eye turned to us and the vigilant eye turned away from us.

We hunted and ate them in the country, but our city ones are mostly pets.
