Howdy from Texas!

Yeah,when you're retired the hard thing is finding things to do to fill the days without hitting the buy button too often..

I've got about 6 year on you.

I go to an indoor shooting range near here about 2 or 3 times a week,sit in front of the PC several hours a day,take the misses to the stores quite often,watch a lot of Fox News on The Internet using ustvgo.tv or 123news.

I eat cooked oatmeal with fresh berries every other day and limit the intake of sludge.

I've been taking a baby aspirin every day since about 35.

I had spent a lot of time in the sun fishing and other sports and now paying a price for not protecting my skin.

I've had 7 basal cell surgeries in the last 2 years

I like tinkering so flashlights are right in my wheelhouse.

I quite smoking in 1968 but still enjoy a glass of craft beer every few days.

If you're still breathing keep the mind and body well exercised and get to 100.

Old Frog....Welcome to the forum

I used to drink alcohol and smoke weed, but I quit both years ago.

Neither of them really appeal to me anymore as I enjoy being sober.

I'm 43 years old, and I'm pretty healthy, though I do have a bad back.

Right now I'm addicted to the internet and technology.

Well RC, so the pic's not you. Darn it.

I forgot to mention that I like to shoot too. I have a 22 Rough Rider revolver, 9mm Beretta Storm and 10mm EAA Witness. I have a carry permit and carry my 9mm.

Since I have pains in my lower back and neck I receive injections at the pain clinic. For my other pains I take a Hydrocodone pill. Chronic pains sucks I tell ya.

Hitting the buy button? Hard not to do that. LOL. I'm always buying something every month. I just ordered a $65 LED flashlight a while ago. I bought a $120 light a week ago and it's defective. Vendor says I'll get a refund but keep the light. It's been a few days but yet seen the money. I guess it'll come sooner or later.

I'm a member of the Candlepower forum and I was getting suggestions on the lights hence these I have/soon to have (new light coming tomorrow). 5 years ago I was suggested a Nitecore P36 which I still have (same batteries, Simon 18650s). An excellent light but I want a more powerful light.

Howdy neighbor! Stick around here and pick up modding, you may yet fix that light. :wink:

Good luck with that buy button, this may be the wrong place for you if you’re not ready to give that button a LOT of exercise! Lol

Hey welcome Old Frog! Hey I noticed you take Oxy pain meds. I don’t know the extent of your pain so maybe you should try CBD Marijuana Topicals and Tintures. Marijuana Topicals and Tintures is where you can see what’s out there. I dunno you’re in Texas so maybe illegal?? Anyways, I’ve used their Marijuana infused pain cream and I can tell you that it works. Plus by using CBD, you won’t get the “High” feeling. Check it out when you have some free time.

IndicaSativa :sunglasses:

I never asked my dealer what type of marijuana it was, but it was primarily a head high, so most likely a sativa-heavy strain.

Ahh Sativa…fuel for the creatives out there. Well, at least you’re not eating everything in the fridge these days. :wink:

You know you are in the right place when you have purchased a curio cabinet for your lights. lit of course. :slight_smile:

Welcome aboard! Im sure you’ll enjoy your stay. :beer:

I’m just swamped with stuff I ordered since I joined here. This weekend gonna pull out the stud finder, 90 degree brace, 2*6 planed cedar plank and mount it all up right in my bedroom walls! :slight_smile:

I tried CBD oil. 1000mg in 2 oz. After I found the dosage for it to work it was too expensive. My pain pills (and all my medical needs) cost me nothing. I have SSI and RSDI (Medicaid/Medicare) so I'm covered.

I could benefit from pot but it's still illegal here in Texas.

Recently I did a lot of woodwork. I've built a few boxes from scratch. Here's a couple:

Ahh Oils…yeah some of them do get pricey. Sounds like you had some potent stuff before too! :crown: . There’s so many different types out there now. Well that’s great to hear your medical expenses are covered. Most people here make their own. If you know a grower, then you’re laughing all the way to the bank. Maybe $50 an ounce of primo compared to $240!
I take it you know it’s legal where I am to purchase weed. I mean I can just order whatever and it’s delivered in the mail to my place by Canada Post! :smiley: Well, it’s only a matter of time before it’s legal in your state! :sunglasses:

Thanks. I figured it out. :)

A lot of states had legalized pot but Texas is a holdout but in the works. For now it's legal for extreme cases like epilepsy.

Ok nice nice and I didn’t know that about Texas. Good to hear there are options for people in Texas. I mean the key word here is “Choices”. If you don’t want narcotics then choose ganja. :slight_smile:

I think marijuana is way safer than opiate painkillers, but I don't think weed kills the pain for everyone.

I hope it gets more legal around the world even though it's not for me anymore.

True weed’s not for everyone and personally, I mainly use the creams as I work out. Smoking it….well once in a blue moon :slight_smile:

I'd rather eat it. last a lot longer that way. :D
