Of course, some will say, if you are very lucky, you will die before you have lost too much...
Although this is eventually correct, if one exercise and maintains a solid diet there is no reason one can't maintain a solid level of fitness well into their 70s. I'm almost 60 and can still squat 400 lbs for reps and run four days a week, 10 miles a run. That's in addition to martial arts classes three days a week.
You had pneumonia and didn’t do anything about it. Trust me that pneumonia revisits and will attack your lungs again.
I had my annual pneumonia attack this year. Eight days in the hospital and fiver weeks to recover.
You are in my humble opinion an OLD fool.
Did you have parvo (fifths disease):
Parvovirus infection is a common and highly contagious childhood ailment sometimes called slapped-cheek disease because of the distinctive face rash that develops. Parvovirus infection has also been known as fifth disease because, historically, it was one of five common childhood illnesses characterized by a rash.
I had it when I was 40 and thought I was going to die. Took forever to shake it off.
Excellent post.
The advocacy for concealed carry (”they don’t know who’s carrying, and you get to surprise them on your terms not theirs”) forgets that openly armed discourages those who don’t want to risk all going after a particular would-be victim. Yeah, they could sneak up and grab it ... and if they don’t pull it off perfectly, get killed for it; easier prey is preferred. Just showing dangerous ability demonstrates dangerous mindset, to wit “disarm me and I’ll still fight to the death, be it mine or yours.”
Vulnerable creatures express dangerous capabilities, real or fake, for a reason.
Excellent post.
My only comment would be that maybe a 45 deg angle on your cross draw holster might work better. An angle that fits with the natural position of your hand and wrist as they come across for the cross draw.
Me? I can still rely on big and ugly for protection.
Stuff wears out and breaks, bodily organs included. Various malfunctions have tried to kill me 4 times over; fortunately the repairs were completely effective, but I understand that sometimes they’re not recoverable and it doesn’t take much to slow someone down a LOT (one burst vessel in my knee made me hobble for weeks).
Sorry, thought you were Dean.
Dean, what kind of 'hood do you live in, that you have to be on guard against human predators? Are assaults upon the weak and helpless common there?
Of course, random crazies can show up anywhere, and being prepared makes perfect sense. But if assault is a constant threat, I'd consider moving!
I don't know where you came up with that - I've never had pneumonia in my life.
Moving, or calling out the militia to clean up the ‘hood!
But if you are serious about care and maintenance those parts last much, much longer.
Every Saturday I go to St Pete Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, even in the summer, and enjoy running jumping throwing and catching frisbee with my pals.
Diet is #1....but regular exercise is essential.
We are all going down but we have some control how fast.

Arthritis has a funny way of settling the 9mm vs .45 debate.
Once and for all....
He is my first grandchild, and unfortunately is not close, over a thousand miles away. I would spend more time with him, but daughter and son-in-law need their space too, so I spend a week at a time as much as I can. Try to give them some relief.
Daughter caught the bug too, had similar symptoms, not quite as severe, and recovered a little faster. No fever to speak of.
You are completely correct. He is a blessing, and I appreciate him.
That is way too extreme. I carry using a cross draw holster and ordered one with a negative 15 degree cant. It turned out to be way too much. I then ordered one with a negative five degree cant and it was just right. There are adjustable cross draw holsters that will let you set the perfect angle, but they are a little more bulky.
