A Pain In The Back
This morning I woke up with a sore back for a second day in a row. At first I thought to replace my mattress but I have a good mattress that I bought just over a year ago.
At my age one would expect a mattress to last a little bit longer than a year which involuntarily reminded me that the problem may not be with the mattress at all; it could simply be a matter of age. After giving it some thought I discarded the idea. I did not get that much older overnight. I know some will not agree with me but three days ago my back was still fine and therefore my age is not a factor here.
When I retraced my steps over the last few days to see if I did not sprain my back, it turned up nothing either. The most strenuous activity the last few weeks was to pull the chair out from under the table and every time I did the proper warming up exercises before attempting it. Besides, if it was a sprained back it would be sore all the time and in this case the pain in the back disappears about an half an hour after getting up.
This should not happen. I’m reasonably fit and although I have not gone fishing since I was taken out of my cotton-lined retirement box some six weeks ago, I still run around the block six times every morning before I stash the block under the bed again. Then maybe there is too much blood and not enough seawater in my veins. So will I have to sit with this pain in the back for another three weeks until I can climb back into my retirement box to go fishing again?
Then I remembered my quack telling me a few months ago to give up half my sex life. I did not think much of his advice at the time as, at the present time, my entire sex life can be clearly divided into two parts. Thinking about it and talking about it.
The dilemma is which half do I give up? If I stop thinking about it, I won’t talk about it. That will be giving up sex altogether. It simply won’t do. And if I stop talking about it, I will have nothing to talk about in the pub. Drinking in silence can only lead to more drinking. Perhaps I must see another quack for a second opinion.
Now enjoy the day and don’t be a pain in the back!

The pain might have resulted from something you had done some time ago? There’s a possibility yanno
I've been wondering if my neighbor have been a pain in the back lately but I have not seen much of him lately. Of course it could be one or more of my students as well. come to think of it, it way be the dean! Luckily, there will be only eleven days to torture myself here after today.
I assume you are talking about Klipdrift Premium. I have a problem with Klippies, expensive or cheap. It makes me aggressive as hell, so I rather drink KWV or Viceroy VO..
With regards to the reverse cow girl; It is unknown to me. A few photos may clarify the situation.
Ah then the matter of R50.00.
You should have done a credit check on me. I have a very bad credit record. I suggest you write that on your stomach and wipe it with your shirt.
Hmm, it sounds like better advise that the previous quack. She said that I'm a pig and should see a vet!
Those triples are somewhat problematic in this country. By law you are required to have a reasonable percentage of blood in your alcohol stream.
Yes, when work interferes with other things one start counting the days, They said nothing about students being behind the curriculum and other minor details like extra classes to get them up to date. They better pay me overtime or I'm taking them to the labor court.
Well, all but one....male teacher
Do you have any idea how easy it is to buy an AK47?
So was I. I never dreamed that they would come back to haunt me. I'm sure that all my departed teachers a sitting in one grave spurring my students and laughing at my reactions.
Take a couple of aspirin and go to bed and call me in the morning.
That's all I got for the moment.
I thought that as we had a common problem we we could reach some agreement.
Don't worry. Nobody ever read these comments.
BTW, I think molly does nor like you. She is funny with me when I talk to you.
I have almost no connectivity, Been battling all day to get on line. I hope this one goes through. I have been holding my breath with the previous two.
Exercise, my boy.
That's sort your back out AND give you essential and valuable stamina when you stop thinking and talking and get back to doing.
I'll tell her when I see her but we don't have much contact these days.
I'm still in the dark about the term but I sure we can reach some compromise.
Good seeing you fluffy foot
and do mind your bones
Exercise you say; thinking about it or talking about it? Or will it help to run around the block 10 times iso only six times
Bend the knees, you say, Will that relate to Map's earlier suggestion?
Yes serious, how dull of me but it WORKS no backache for 5 years now YAY
There is a will; I just cannot find the way. But we'll get there yet
It's kind of you do decorate my blog but do you have to rub my age in. You know how sensitive I am about my age,
I only know what it is, I'm too experienced to EVER use the wrong foot when getting into the saddle.
Allow me to rub some deep heat instead
the problem is we ride them horses without saddles so there are no stirrups. Maybe it is time to invest in a saddle then I may understand it better if I try it in a horse first.
