I twisted wrong the other day and got one of those knife like spikes that lasted about 5 minutes. I just leaned on the truck wishing it to go away and thankfully it did. I'll listen to that warning and take it easier for a few days.

I inherited a bad back. It really has forced me to go different directions in life than I wanted, but I realize it has been God's direction. Cliche, I know but I believe it. Now, if I have a big job to do, sometimes I take extra breaks. I know my limitations too. I don't roller skate anymore. Never tried to snow ski, or ride broncs or bulls. I don't run or lift weights. But, like Toby Keith, I am as good once as I've always been. After that, I take a day or week to rest.

My husband did one of those wrong twists a few weeks ago and spent 2 weeks on a heating pad. Complaining. Constantly. Men are such babies.

I remember Dad saying how strong Grandpa was, and at his best he didnt think he got up to Grandpa's best. And, I can remember thinking the same thing with my Dad. For 5'9, he had some arms and was strong as a mule, but he was smart too. If you can't just move the huge rock you just ploughed up, which he did a lot by bear hugging it, he was good at levers and pulleys, and improvising.
I saw Grandpa get weaker over time when I was in my late teens or twenties. But, it hit me in my late twenties or thirties when I realized I was stronger than Dad. I hated it! Now I am just waiting for my boys to be stronger than me. Gotta ways to go yet

I only complain on here @Baymule.
I'm pretty sure Teresa would verify that one since I seldom gripe even when I've done something stupid. I spent 1 1/2 years not able to walk back in the early 80's so I try to be careful but often forget I'm not getting any younger.Pastor Dave - I think most of us have memories like that or at least everyone should have them.
One of the RIR hens got out this morning and delivered her egg to the front door. To explain - she dug an Aloe plant out of a flower pot by the door and got up and laid an egg in the pot.

Chickens are some strange birds sometimes... Makes them fun to have around... sometimes Hurt my back in '87' (before some folks on here were even around ) and it's never been the same since. Have thrown it out doing absolutely nothing and also when doing hard manual labor since then. Always conscious of what I'm doing, and the movements I'm making and even the slightest twinge will have me frozen in place until I know whether it's gonna go again, or go away. IMO, once you hurt it once, it's with you for life. I don't wish it on anyone. Glad your latest flare didn't put you down.
