Me, well, in spite of my dad's efforts and ultimate disappointment, i didn't even enjoy watching my grade school's football games, let along try out for the team. i lost any love for football in second grade when i had my face pushed into the asphalt during a recess-game tackle. i love baseball, despite a pathological fear of the ball and resultant inability to play the game. i was cut from my high school soccer team for lack of running endurance, and reluctance to slide-tackle and head the ball. Forget basketball- i couldn't hit the backboard 9 out of 10 times. The bicycle was my refuge and racing- even as poorly as i did- was my sport of choice.<br /><br />i joke that i like two NFL teams: Green Bay (because:owned by the city of Green Bay, not some billionaire nabob) and whoever is beating the Bears, but my friends know that i abhor football in all its incarnations. Super Bowl? Yawn. Pro sports? <br />Nah.<br /><br />i encountered this quote today and find it appropriate:<br /><br />A society that presumes a norm of violence and celebrates aggression, whether in the subway, on the football field, or in the conduct of its business, cannot help making celebrities of the people who would destroy it. -Lewis H.

What bugs me most is that I’ve interacted with people in the yard there, and they were always nice and said hello. I don’t see why they are suddenly being called dealers and addicts.

Low talkers drive me crazy because they make it seem like I am really hearing impaired. I can hear if they speak at a room appropriate volume. I was also diagnosed with BPPV about 12 years ago. That was the worst. I swear it was precipitated by taking Viagra - that caused some horrific headaches as a side effect. Haven't taken any since my GF left me and the BPPV seems to have disappeared, but I am cautious about how I hold my head. I wouldn't get on a roller coaster and I am hesitant about using my inversion table. A bad head cold can trigger the BPPV. I have found that the exercises can alleviate it for a time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_paroxysmal_positional_vertigo<br />Like you, I wouldn't wish it (or gout) on my worst enemy.

I recently bought a light box and it does seem to help some.<br /><br />It was strange being in Northern Canada, in the bush, through winter. I was south of the Arctic circle but the nights were super long and the days like four hours long. Snow to your waist and cold as hell itself. Kinda rough on a fellow from Alabama. That was a very educational year.<br /><br />In the nineteenth century, a lot of doctors referred to depression as the writer's disease. It may be why I write southern Gothic monster stories that take place in dark places like abandoned coal mines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998129924003072969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18325456.post-74224991075052087482017-11-10T03:26:12.920-06:002017-11-10T03:26:12.920-06:00I suspect I never got involved in things like the ...I suspect I never got involved in things like the antiGMO foolishness because I was raised by farmers and worked farms and grew pigs for market.<br />These people appear to know nothing about how food is produced.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998129924003072969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18325456.post-91409177474084986012017-11-01T18:55:37.938-05:002017-11-01T18:55:37.938-05:00excellentexcellentAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968143738643842167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18325456.post-5582211512908558472017-10-30T14:48:17.569-05:002017-10-30T14:48:17.569-05:00Excellent; I've re-posted.

I have been deaf in my right ear for several years. The tinnitus got so bad and my hearing decreased to the point that my wife was writing me notes. Then I started taking SERC. Within a month, my hearing improved, back to the point it was before. I have continued a twice daily dose of 16 MG. I was taking it three times per day. I can't prove that SERC was responsible for the return of my hearing, but I believe it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062276065478792732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18325456.post-8542675409765344142017-07-06T13:42:32.367-05:002017-07-06T13:42:32.367-05:00Thank you.
