onetrack Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 How's your rebuilt knee going, Nev? Brother (84) had his rebuilt middle of last year, I was amazed how quickly he recovered from it. Knee surgery has come a long way since SWMBO had both hers done in 2008. 1

Many people pay no heed to their skin blemishes, and unfortunately pay the price if one is cancerous. Beware of rip-off specialist quacks though when going for a skin check. I got one once and the Doc picked a blemish on top of my head, in a location where I couldn't see it. He sent a biopsy which proved it was nothing at all. It cost me money to get that done. 1
facthunter Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Better to check anything. The Original skin specialist said It looks OK but I'm getting it checked just to be sure and he then rang me at night to be operated on the Next day. ALL booked and arranged. Nev
spacesailor Posted January 20 Posted January 20 My/our " skin specialists " has stopped ' cash ' patients. So now have to find a " bulk billing " skin doctor who takes cash .. Why are people so worried of the inevitable. I survived my first death. Didn't make double figures. Just don't want to be the last person to die ! , As there's no-one to bury you , or say - goodbye. spacesailor
facthunter Posted January 20 Posted January 20 The reason you are here now is because you didn't die. Nev

There will always be someone around to bury your carcass, and if there's not, you won't be bothered by it anyway. 1
pmccarthy Posted January 21 Posted January 21 In the multiverse, you never die like those around you. There is always a split between the moment of your passing and the moment that you don't. You just go down the road less travelled. 1
facthunter Posted January 21 Posted January 21 So far the Multiverse's existence cannot be proven. Determining the actual Point when you have died is done in various ways. People have been pronounced DEAD when they weren't. You can be "brain dead " but still kept alive. At the moment you die Approximately there has never been a recorded change of Mass when you "give up the ghost". Nev 1
old man emu Posted January 21 Posted January 21 No news of the recently dead. Has Death taken a holiday? 1

facthunter Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Something that is based on people dying is inherently depressing. It doesn't do much for ME. SAME as THIS is how they look NOW types of portrayal. Would any of US like to be subject to that?. Nev 1
old man emu Posted January 21 Posted January 21 1 minute ago, facthunter said: Something that is based on people dying is inherently depressing. I feel somewhat the same. The people whose deaths are reported are our contemporaries and the celebrities of our youth. Our memories of them have them in their prime, not victims of the ravages of time. Hearing of their passing reminds us of our own mortality. 1
facthunter Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I certainly don't need any extra reminding of that. I only look in the mirror to pull out hairs that get in my eyes or see if I've cut myself when shaving now that I never have to check IF my tie is on straight. 99% of my OLDER friends are dead anyhow..

facthunter Posted January 23 Posted January 23 They are my goat hair eyebrows. Like pine trees they are . I have Hair, but it's thin and white. Hasn't receded at all. No I won't post a picture. Too many people looking for Me. Nev 2
Marty_d Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I think as we (men) age, the hair just migrates downward. 1
facthunter Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Actually the testosterone is a different type to what we have when younger. 1
onetrack Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 I wish today, to be able to grow as much hair on my head, as I can grow in my nose and ears. 1
facthunter Posted January 24 Posted January 24 That wouldn't be enough, unless your head is very small. Nev 1
Litespeed Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I can send you fellas some of my hair, the stuff grows like weeds. I can grow a full beard in a fortnight and my head gets shorn like a sheep.
onetrack Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Whoa, that's a photo guaranteed to frighten any child, and make them burst into tears! 😄 1
facthunter Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Earnest and rugged. They are all jealous. You could be in FILMS. Nev 1
