      Well Billy, that’s the thing about age, at some point the oldest fish is no longer a living fish. 📖🌈

    This is not a contest. Their suffering is as valid as yours. I mean I wouldn’t voice mine like that, but that’s alright. You don’t have to listen to them.

      You know it’s a dick move, because if you treated happiness the same way people would be mad.

      Starving child: the aid worker gave me a football! Best day ever!

      How can you enjoy this football when there’s people in Philadelphia playing Xbox??

    Was having sciatic flare ups. Almost mentioned it, then remembered the maintenance guy i was talking to was almost paralyzed due to a back issue.

    Yeah I’m good… comparatively

    Personal age gauge is how many pills you take a night. Currently at 2 🫣

      I know this is not true for everyone, but I had good success with some physical life changes that really helped with sciatica.

      Stopped wearing a leather belt, stopped having anything in my back pocket, started sleeping with a pillow between my legs, and paid more attention to how I was sitting. These, along with core exercises, brought flare up from ~weekly to ~yearly.

      Just sharing my experience in the hope that maybe it’s helpful. Sciatica sucks.
