3dzapper Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Just keep telling yourself "Pain is my friend". Sounds stupid but it works. Now if only the friend in my shoulders would go away, I wouldn't miss him a bit! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 And here I thought this thread would include I was down on my knees begging the wife for more audio stuff... And that is what ruined your knees. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to us bunch of old farts whining. Whatever happened to the optimistic 'You are only as old as your mind tells you you are' ? I had a glorious 4.5 days of skiing in Utah this past winter. I was on and spry - High Rustler and all the traverse to places in Alta, a bit of Snow birds bumps and small side trip to the bowls atop Park City. It took three weeks to recover....

D-MAN Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Old farts is right! What a bunch of WHINERS! I'm reminded of Neil Armstrong's contention that one only has a fixed number of heartbeats available per lifetime. You can use 'em up fast, or stretch them out a bit. I imagine if that is true, then knees would also only have a certain number of bends in them... The problem that I have is that "stretching out" the available number of whatever doesn't seem to be working! DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I love how this thread started I love where it led From knees that were aching To a girl giving head Some of us are old Some of us are young But all of us like audio And girls who like .......fun Sorry. It just all happened within a minute. I had to share. Hope no one is offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Still just the right side of 40 here (just!!). Knees seem to be holding up - although they do creak worryingly at times. Several things: 1. Local vinyl shops here now know their audience. Most provide either low stools to perch upon whilst browsing or have taken the trouble to put all the vinyl at waist height to avoid all that bending down. 2. Groveling to SWMBO does take its toll but as often as not its kneeling for another reason that is a killer ("Yes darling - but please let go of my ears - they are the reason I am doing this!") 3. For the few emporia that have records at floor level and no stools I tend to take a cushion for serious browsing. 4. For help on the internet you could always try buying from "E"nds "B"ending "A"t "Y"our-age.com. As for the Monika/Clinton debacle - poor choices from both of them. Of course this is only a problem if you are heading up either the US or the UK. In other countries such escapades usually result in an increased majority (France, Greece, Israel etc.). Come to think of it - who the president picks fort he task seems to be of utmost importance. I seem to remember a much loved president winning, seemingly, much admiration for choosing a well known blond bombshell for a similar job(Happy Birthday Mr. President!). I imagine impeachment would have been replaced with execution had Lewinski been Maurice rather than Monika. Just musing - no offense intended.

mike stehr Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 "2 years ago my knees were as healthly as a teenagers. Since I got back into audio, squatting as I look through lps at the thrift shops, swapping tubes from my amps on the bottom shelf, etc. has just killed them. When I try to get up now, my knees throb. By the time I figured out what I was doing to them, it was too late. I've always favored my bad back by using my legs. Now I think I've killed my knees through audio. Has this happened to anyone else?" Bang out some hardwood floors and see how sore your knees get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire to bang out any hardwood floors but thanks for the suggestion Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
