Back Pain

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 2 Mar 21

A few days ago, I stretched a muscle in my lower back while coughing. I have been stiff and sore since then, and when I get up from my chair, it is when it hurts the most. Does anyone have a trick here to get rid of the pain?

BobbyCole Yeah, I coughed whilst sitting on the john one time and threw my back out. My “trick” is to first use an anti-inflammatory med or food which will alleviate most of the pain. Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) is good and fast and gives me a little breathing room to...

Just finished doing my taxes, and boy did I let out a few choice bad words. For the second year in a row, I owed the IRS instead of getting a refund. I guess the adjustments I made last year to lessen the tax blow were just not...

BobbyCole The IRS should appreciate the fact that I have lived a long life and I am now retired but nope, the only break I get is when I get a seniors discount at a restaurant. As it is, I owe the IRS nothing but they do not owe me either which I guess is a good...

BobbyCole It’s a given that good memories are the most cherished but in truth, I really do not mind most of the bad memories coming back to life. I have been able to recognize that all memories have a message attached to them which warn me if I am treading on...

Feeling like switching it all up....... Have you ever felt like this?

Nicci Hun’s @openrangethoughts (18) • Acampo, California 15 Feb 21

Have you ever got the feeling like you just needed a change? Wanted to switch things up a bit and do something different? Normally when I feel this way I would go get a hair cut and try my hardest to avoid the infamous boredom...

BobbyCole The axiom I lived with for many years is not to leave this earth “wishing”. I have owned 2 RV’s and a school bus that I revamped into an RV and traveled for a time just going from state to state. When I needed money, I’d work for a restaurant for however...

BobbyCole At my age, if I take things too seriously I think I might sprain something and a sprained anything means seeing a doctor who doesn’t know the meaning of “chuckle” unless a patient is overweight and naked of course. No, for safety’s sake I’ll keep my...

BobbyCole Yup, it’s Thursday and today also marks my 71st Birthday! Not that being 71 is anything great but to tell the truth, when I was much younger I never even thought I would make it this far., When I look back at all the things I have been through and all the...
