“Whew, thank you so much for posting, nowslimmer...not that learning you are headed for the hospital is all that great a relief but knowing you are still on the green side of the grass is...may your health improve...obviously, you were missed around here...you are one of us and we care about you...”

“Keep us informed on your health. We'll pray for the best but if it goes worse please have your daughter update us if you can't. See you on the trail good buddy.”

“hey nowslimmer, meet us over on Latta!”

“A little late as you've already been admitted, but hang in there buddy.”

“surgery scheduled Monday

woohoo”

“oops - it's now tomorrow

they put in a plate which can be annoying with backpack straps, but the good news is you can have a 2nd surgery to have it removed after the clavicle heals.”

“Good luck, hikenman.

I was released yesterday, but before I was able to leave, I felt ill. So I stayed another night.

I have CHF. But I am now off the TT Injured Reserve List.

My cardiologist is going to his son's graduation from Notre Dame. I wanted to ask him if he would lower his rates, now!

Thanks for your expressions of concern.”

“Glad you're out Slim! Rats on the CHF. What do you have to do differently, if anything?

It's really good to see you posting a bit. I hope you'll continue.”

“Hey there NS!!!!....hugs.....what is CHF???

“Congestive heart failure.”

“Oh...thanks for the info.....glad you are out of the hosp....visit us here!!!”

“N/S -

This poor guy's going to be on the IR list for some time.”

“"He was waving his shirt and then he was actually just full of bees," said hiker Ken MacKenzie, who witnessed the incident.

What did he do? Eat them?”

“Thanks, Tex,

Happy to hear from you. I miss you and love you, you wonderful, beautiful doll.”

“Hey, Paul! GREAT to hear from you!

:-)”

“bruised rib .... OWWWWWCH!!!!

Got elbowed in the ribs, stung a little at first. One hour and 4 black-belts later ... almost no pain.

Came home and WOWZA!! Makes the pulled hamstring from last night forgetable.

One fighter is a teenage girl who fights competitively. She'd be simple to crush in a real fight due to her size, but she has MAD skills. Almost flawless. Two others are 5th degree masters, one just cleaned-up in state competition. Another is a 3rd degree (in this style, but has bb's in other styles) and is a prison guard. He once crushed the guy's chest who elbowed me. The hospital said it was a "car accident" injury. Daaamb. But, the guy who did this is a little man, a doctor by profession. He got a bit 'anxious' as we sped up the fight. My fault of course, shouldn't have let my guard down.

Lessons learned -
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Protect the midsection.
Always wear chainmail.
You're getting too old for this crap.
Never trust a doctor.
Bruised ribs hurt like the dickens. Yes, yes they do.”

“...lol.....sorry you are in pain....
:(”

“Sounds painful. Maybe some Tylenol or even stronger meds might help.”

“.... as reality slaps you in the face ...

Of course, a bruised rib ain't the end of the world.”

“Confused! However, perhaps you should attend classes with me. Jujutsu(Defensive combat).

I can't quit aikijutsu

“Confused! However, perhaps you should attend classes with me.

For what?”

“"For what?�

I'm confused because your post seems to bounce from one thing to another without any explanation. But your drift seems to focus on fighting.

You might be able to learn how to avoid bruises in our classes. But, perhaps you are right. You might be too old. Are you older than me? I'm in my fourth quarter of life, that is, 76.”

“I'm confused because your post seems to bounce from one thing to another without any explanation.

Could be your old age. ha-ha

You might be able to learn how to avoid bruises in our classes.

Is your class magic? A bruised rib doesn't mean there is an actual bruise. It means the muscle between the skin and rib-cage is crushed. I am quite certain your school can't prevent such injuries, unless they avoid serious fighting. Do they, or are they magic?

But, perhaps you are right. You might be too old. Are you older than me? I'm in my fourth quarter of life, that is, 76.

Let me rephrase, I might be getting too old to fight at the level that I'm currently participating. I have no doubt I could minimize my LOE (level of effort) and watch from the side-lines and perform the occasional half-assed poomse, but I've decided to push beyond that and endure some of the best the area has to offer.

You'll earn more respect from people for your accomplishments as an elderly karataka who has stayed with the sport despite physical setbacks if you lay off the smack-talk. Keep in mind, most of the respect you are shown is not because you have great ability, it's because of your age. Don't get so cocky you demean somebody's school you haven't researched.

I hope this wasn't confusing for you.”

“It sounded like a teenage girl kicked his ass ---”

“I thought I was listening to Sarge!

Rule No. 1 in the class that I attend is the best: Avoid trouble if at all possible.”

“nowslimmer, is that why you sit and watch most classes from the side-lines? How can you even say with a straight face that you practice martial arts?”

“I thought I was listening to Sarge!

You are.”

“Click.”

“wow what an @ss

no not you NS baby :)”

“Whew! Thanks.”

“hey you are worth getting banned for *wink wink*”

““Click.”
nowslimmer

I see you ignore people who don't give you carte blanche to throw around the insults. I'm not going to let you insult me or my school just because you're old and helpless.”

“mapleleaf - the fact that you think somebody defending their school makes one an ass, but the one instigating isn't, shows a lot about your judgment.

“Nowslimmer...Don't pay no mind....you are loved here!!!!!
lots of hugs!!!!”

“Sure you're loved nowslimmer. But that doesn't justify attacking my school without reason, and it doesn't justify insinuating that I need to learn from your school, even though your school promotes you just because you're old, and is known nationally as a quack school due to the ineffective techniques invinted by the founder (who was sued for faking his credentials).

Loved or not, you should gain some perspective and back-off insinuating other people's schools are sub-par. My school is the most respected in the area, and by far is the winningest school in the mid-state. We have an international full-contact fighter join us for sparring because it's the only school in the area, including his, that gives him competition. Your school is much better known than mine, but why? It's a laughing stock of the message boards.

Sure you're loved, but you're rude and being loved doesn't justify it - and people shouldn't let you get away with it just because you're old.”

“hmm I think the fact your harping on his age, makes asnything you say pointless.

move on. get over it and grow up.

I'd rather hang out with the "old" dude then a "rude" dude”

“hmm I think the fact you are ignoring that he was the one rude to me first makes asnything you say pointless.

move on. get over it and grow up.

The irony is you're the one disrepecting him by assuming he's too old to handle the truth. He's not a baby, and he's not senile, but you're treating him that way. It's recently been proving that treating old people like that contributes to senility and dependence. If you were a true friend, you'd treat him like any other adult, and stop shielding him from reality.”

“and dutchess, HE brought up the age issue as "proof" of his grandness

Pay attention.”

“YES!!!!”

“go away muttenhead!

go eat antoher cookie sarge! your boring already.
later”

“later!”

“Blah Blah Blah Blah instigate Blah Blah Blah Blah insulting Sludge Blah Blah Blah Me Me Me Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah instigate Blah Blah Blah Me Me Me more ME Blah Me Me Blah”

“On the other hand, Cookie, one of the things thirty years of rugby taught me is that bruised ribs hurt more and for longer than broken ribs. Seperated ribs and ribs pulled off the sternum are right up there on the pain scale.

Everybody calm now?”

“My name is Sarge, but you can call me ninja. My hands are registered as lethal weapons, particularly late at night when they are slathered with lubricant. I have a deadly up/down stroke. Beware.”

“Finally, a humorous troll.”
