Got to admit that once I'd heard The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald one time, I didn't need to hear it a third time. (I'm counting that first time as two times). It was one of the few songs that would make me change the station. Rod Stewart's Maggie May got a few more listenings from me but dang, it was played way too much.
I did not have an FM radio in my car at the time and I was always driving... for employment and for recreation. '72 Plymouth Valiant with push-button automatic transmission, then a '65 Plymouth Fury with more steel in the mammoth double ashtray than most whole cars have today. Shoot, the glove compartment door was a chunk of steel that had to have weighed 5 pounds.
No, I don't miss those cars that much, but they were integral to my life for a long time.

Stop procrastinating! I don't need the encouragement. I'm due for that too. And I've just managed to definately put it off another month. I already have an RA appointment, & an infusion scheduled in April, immediately followed by a 12 day house & pet sitting 2 pit bulls & a shepherd mix April 30 thru May 11th. It's for a friend, so hoping the steroids can get channeled into energy & I don't try to eat the dogs. Their pool should help.
Don't go to Texas or get them before you reach that state. Since you can only get a 30 day supply everything has to be timed around your prescriptions. We have a plan to get off but it takes about 5 months and doc doesn't want to start till we are going to be at home for it. The Hydrocodone is not a problem but the Fentanyl is. You have to taper over 5 months. The other you can check into a hospital and can do it in 5 days.
Who knows? That's why I'm working at getting off of them. The way the DEA and government are going at it it make you feel like a criminal just for needing and taking them. I understand that some folks have a problem with them and others abuse them but, don't punish those if us who need them. I also think they should go after the doctors that are selling scripts and leave the pharmacists alone. It's their job to fill what the doctor ordered not be the gatekeepers. If a doc is over prescribing, report him but, don't arrest the pharmacist for filling the scripts. That's their job. (Rant over).
And I appreciate it, Debz!

How stupid is that?! People in pain don't heal well. People in pain suffer from depression. People in pain are IN PAIN! Funny how that works. So, let's deny them any quality of life just so the people who are not in pain can once again pretend it's all for the children. I. Don't. Get. It. I'm sorry, Matt, that you have to deal with this.Who knows? That's why I'm working at getting off of them.

Going over to try and finish the railings this afternoon. It's kind of cool out and my knees be aching but, gotta get done. Wish me luck. See you all later this afternoon and will let you know how it went.
WAKE UP & GO TO THE APPOINTMENT! Don't make me come up there. I'd be swinging by & picking up Deb on the way, & showing up on your doorstep with a trunkful of cast iron fry'n pans. & cattle prods.
At the rate you all are posting today I should have several pages to read when I get back this afternoon. 
Prolific bunch.

Ha! Not me, Brother... I'm being plagued with adulting demands this morning... I'm hoping that the afternoon will turn out a little better.
You guys think that is sexy? I can't even imagine putting my body into such contortions. Very painful.
I thought that your heavy adulting demands were usually on Mondays (besides weekendsHa! Not me, Brother... I'm being plagued with adulting demands this morning... I'm hoping that the afternoon will turn out a little better.
