It's true, just statistics, similar to what insurance companies use, they know exactly the percentages of what each bad habit shortens your time, on average anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2018 7 hours ago, Jeff Matthews said: I agree there are other factors, though. True, many years ago I did insurance, my first death claim was someone my age. As I talked with his parents I found out we had the same birthday and were the same age. The big difference was he was very good about eating well and exercised every other day, his heart just stopped while he was sleeping. The autopsy showed no heart or any other health problem including drugs. His heart just stopped, they knew this because of how he was found. A heart attack victims are usually on the floor or at least tangled up in bedding from moving around in pain, on average anyway, he was found just as he slept. It seems when it's your time it's going to happen, how else can you explain how some who are into all kinds of drugs and many other bad habits live to be old and others try to do the right thing and die young. It all just make you wonder, it seems sometime it's just luck or all planned ? 8 hours ago, DizRotus said: I feel like I’m playing with house money.

The randomness by design is just enough to keep you honest, humble and thankful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It's genetic. And luck (randomness) and also publicity (non-random). For every tale of impossible longevity there are many unreported tales of early demise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, last time just because i liked the design on the T shirt they gave out, i'm easy. 2 hours ago, BigStewMan said: Needles, giving blood, those things don’t bother me ... a real pretty gal showing me attention -- THAT’S what makes me nervous! Don't bother me either, the girl thing does nothing for me. I will be talking with a girl and later my wife says she was flirting with you she must have liked you, this happens alot. I don't see it, I guess because I have been married for 39 years ? If I tell her I liked how the girl looked my wife always say's, go for it while laughing but to me it sounds like Clint Eastwood, "feel lucky punk ?" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Grand Haven. It's good to see your still on this side of the turf. Thanks for the kind words Neil. Man, i haven’t been to Grand Haven since 2002 -- time flies, doesn’t it? I’m sure i’ll eat fast food again someday; but, I tend to be OCD and right now, the thought of breaking my streak is bothersome. When i do, i sure hope it doesn’t become a regular occurrence like it was for most of my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The new/used Heresys have type AA networks with Zener diodes. They appear to have been used by a band or in a DJ biz. Note the dual female TRS jacks and the cast frame woofers. If Heresys ever came with AA networks, It's news to me. All drivers work. They'll be better than good when I'm done with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 After I stopped, I tried some. My body was then not accustomed to the horror. Just remembering how crappy I felt afterwards has kept me away. Keep the streak going Stew. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with breaking your streak, like someone said it all in moderation. Back when we were eating better we were not trying to torture ourselves, when we felt like eating something on occasion we would. The strange part was almost always it was not nearly as good as we remembered, and like OT said it made us feel terrible, this helped to eat right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still eat right it if your careful. 5 minutes ago, BigStewMan said: maybe we should meet up at the first home game in Vegas? If your talking about Raiders, that has shortened a few lives in the past, either heart ache or trying to get to the parking lot . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
