I never pictured you as a bald man. What a trip!
Moral of that story was don't store your scuba gear at my house

Before I really got into watching MMA, I used to spar with a buddy who said I fought like Tank Abbott, but I had no idea who he was at the time. Hoping to lose enough weight that I won't be mistaken for this guy anymore:

Both.Hawaii, or back surgery
After dropping trees & all the clean up my back stiffened up and I couldn't even put on socks - horrible pain.
Saw the VA Phys Therapist & he put me on a "traction table" - I feel like a new man, the pain is all but gone!

I went there for my job. There was a typhoon near Guam where we were taking one of our aircraft to so we had a few days time off to wait for better flying weather. We were heartbroken...
Stopped in the airport with the family on the way to and from Guam also.
Wish I could say this was me. . . Meet Ronnie Coleman, 8 time Mr. Olympia and retired police officer.
I bet he didn't have to say "stop resisting" very often.

I started shaving my head over a decade ago. Once the hair started to go I got rid of it. Wasn't going to be one of those guys that went around wearing a ballcap or doing the combover to hide their hair loss. I don't miss having hair one bit. I get looks and smiles from the ladies whenever I'm out in public. Some just love a bald guy. Plus I'm good looking with or without hair.

I have one of those inversion tables you flip back and hang from. A five minute hang once or twice a day has done wonders for the back pain and stiffness I used to suffer from. I still feel it from strenuous activity and it takes me longer to recover than it used to but that inversion has really helped out. Some people don't like them but the only thing I don't like about it is the space it takes up.

I have visions of getting stuck upside down and my head exploding from all the blood rushing to it.
I don't want to go anywhere I might bump into that avatar!

Yup it works great for increasing perfusion, disc retraction, over all mobility and pain relief.
People With Leprosy Were Exiled There—Should It Be a Tourist Destination?
Kalaupapa, Hawaii, is a former leprosy colony that’s still home to several of the people who were exiled there through the 1960s. Once they all pass away, the federal government wants to open up the isolated peninsula to tourism. But at what cost?
