I like sugar free Gatorade - orange flavor.

You know you're old when you remember that bottled water was a thing mostly relegated to offices. Who wanted to buy water when you got it for free?

Google does not have an entry for "vitamin pee" that I saw, but it is a common joke among nurses. I'm on such a high dose of diuretics to keep my ticker from drowning itself again that I am in the bathroom 2-3 times PER HOUR after my AM and PM doses.

There has been many a morning when my Apple Watch tells me that I've met my 12-hour daily stand goal at 11 AM, because I was up and in the bathroom at least once per hour since midnight.....

Yeah crazy that I won't even drink from the fridge water (I'm kinda bougie)

Vitamin Water Zero Rise (also orange flavor). I just can’t drink plain water.
And a good Cabernet

. I can’t drink white. That’s only for cooking.

Have you tried a CPAP? Chronic central apnea here. CPAP saved my life, no doubt.

I do. I have one from back about 2007-ish. Every night I would rip it off my face about 2-3 AM and then wouldnt be able to fall back asleep. So I gave up. I just would be super cautious of driving at night and my wife would smack the sh!t out of me if I was dosing.
I'm actually going to try again for a resolution and see if there is anything new on the market in 2 weeks. Got so bad, even my dog won't sleep with me b/c of my snoring

Tommy,

My dad died at the young age of 55 from complications of undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea. To be specific, it damaged his heart. Get help!

What is the relationship between these two things?

What I remember (ahem or what I was told) is that using a pen can help untangle the cassette tape after the player has a meltdown.

I'd be more impressed if anyone had come up with a solution for rewinding an 8-track tape.

There are several YouTube videos on repairing and winding an 8-track tape.

Here's one:

Haha, yes I am...

Don't feel it so much though.

Did squats and lunges last night and stair stepping with weights, then went for a 3 mile walk.

TiMSport · 03-18-2021, 12:37 PM

I actually had a reel-to-reel tape player as a kid. My dad gave it to me.

I work out 3 nights a week and walk 6 nights a week. You're only as old (or young) as you feel.
