- Thread starter Jimmy McGill
- Start date
happy birthday to a guy that remembers what it was like to poop without a phone
I'm starting to realize that after I poop I have to go back like two minutes later to finish the job
I turned 45 last month. It’s a cool age. Luckily I have good health and can stay active.
I thought I'd be in pain today after digging that hole for the flagpole. I think the post dig Climbing Kites saved me.
Hah. May be worth looking into. My 45th is coming up in July, and the only significance I can see is insurance will now cover the colonoscopy.
Oh - and Happy Birthday. Test your luck and put a few units on a Twolves sweep of the conference finals!

I've had a couple scopes. Its all paid for by VA. I'm lucky to have that benefit.
AH! To be 45 again.
My brother, who passed away a few years back, received really outstanding care through the VA with respect to the management of his diabetes through the end of his life. Very thankful for it, and as I know is true in your case, it was earned.
You know I like to live bet…so get that live stream going k
Here's what you have to look forward to.....Happy Birthday!
THIS DAY IN MUSIC // May 20
In 1954, A single that proved to be a turning point in popular music, “Rock Around The Clock” by Bill Haley And His Comets, was released. At the time it had little impact, but exploded the following year when it was used in the soundtrack for the Glenn Ford/Sidney Poitier drama, Blackboard Jungle.

Moon and Entwistle quit the band, but rejoined a week later.

In 1969, While watching a Dodgers/Cubs game at Dodger Stadium, Peter Cetera of Chicago was set upon by four Marines who didn’t like the length of his hair. They broke his jaw, resulting in the singer spending two days in intensive care.

In 1997, Foo Fighters released their second album, The Colour And The Shape, a Grammy nominee for Best Rock Album in 1998. Even though Foo Fighters are an American band, the word Colour in the album title is spelled with the British spelling as a nod to producer Gil Norton, who is British.
