    I've got hair growing out of my dang ears that requires routine maintenance. My eyebrows need trimming monthly or I feel like I'm crawling around looking through tall grass!

    As for my hair - I always kept it cut short. Now that I'm retiring I've let it grow longer. Every barber I go to says it's extremely thick (my hair, that is) and it's becoming a pain in the butt. I'm about to start cutting it short again!

    Can't remember which comedian had a routine about getting old. Hair won't grow where you want it to grow, but instead it starts spouting our your ears and nose...

    All the hair that quit growing on my head was evidently transplanted to ears, nose, and don't forget eyebrows. They have to be trimmed more than what hair is left.

    My eyebrows remind me to trim them every time they poke me in the eyeball. I'm shocked at how quickly that happens these days.

    Yep, and Judge Napolitano, whose hairline looks to be about an inch above his eyebrows, will be in big trouble at some point...

    My son is quickly going bald, not yet 30, and I told him to blame his mother. I've got a high hairline nowadays but thick head of hair.

    Theres good news I told him, it wont be long till the hair growing from the top of your ears will grow fast and thick enough to wear like the Trumpster. A double lap comb over.

    He mentioned transplants and I said to make very sure to stay away from Joe Bidens hair surgeon.

    Dog sure would like for me to get down and play with her, only happens when I'm down to straighten the back.
    Ha ha! About two months ago, I got down on our deck to play with our dog. I was on my belly. I rolled over and sat up and immediately almost fell over. I think it is what they call BPPV. Basically moved my head wrong and had instant vertigo. I couldn't walk straight for three days. I found the maneuver explained online to fix BPPV and tried it on myself. I don't know if that fixed it, but I got better. They say BPPV will self-correct, given time. So I don't know which it was. I am just glad I am not spinning any more.

    Dumb dog.

    Update!

    My knees don't feel so bad. However I fired up my back this afternoon. I can barely walk right now. However a couple of hydrocodone and 10mg of Flexeril should get me moving.

    Good to hear you have recovered. Vertigo is no fun at all. Thank the Good Lord I have not had a bout of vertigo in some years.

    Sorry to hear about your back issues. They are no fun. I had some lower back and sciatic nerve issues a while back. I finally went to a chiropractor and got amazing relief. The type I used is not the "crack and pop" variety. They work mostly on the "atlas", which is at the top of the spine and it's low impact. Why that helps lower down is beyond me, but it helped a lot. It also helped a daughter with migraines. If you are interested, you want a NUCCA chiropractor. I just wanted to avoid more meds and painkillers.
