The school said scholarships would continue to be honored.  Any update on how this applies to your son?

I just retired (61 YO) so I now have the benefit of hindsight.  I was always a high earner and my wife quit working when we had our 1st kid 21 years ago.  She is very high maintenance and tends to try and stay up with the Joneses.  I, on the other hand, do not care about appearances. Over the...

No, never took them. I have a hereditary heart disease that killed my dad when he was 35.  I had my first MI at 27 and have been squeaky clean ever since then.  I keep my weight at 165 and body fat at about 13 - 14 %.   Throughout my entire adult life I have worked out hard, and have been in...

That's good to know.  It seems ridiculous that I've been told by my rehab tech that I have to limit arm repetitive motion.  I'm going to talk to a real Doc and see what that person says.  Thanks.

That wasn't my experience in corporate software sales.   Establishing relationships and trust was extremely important, but the real pros had no need to BS or lie.

Let me tell you my story now that I'm retired.  When I graduated from college in '81 I took a job in IT consulting with one of the Big 8 Accounting firms.  I was a programmer, sales consultant, customer support rep, IT Director, and then a Sales Rep.  After that I eventually moved back into IT...

As you can imagine, every single day I realize how fricken fortunate I was.  Only 5 - 8 people out of 100 live from what I experienced, and of those that live, almost all of them have severe brain damage.  I have brain damage, but I can deal with it.  For example, I had neurological testing last...

No, not really.  When I was 27 I had my first heart attack.  I was extremely active and athletic, so it was a big surprise.  To combat the effects of the MI I took up long-distance bicycling (did several 200 mile races), triathlons, jiu-jitsu, karate, and had an extremely healthy diet.  I had 2...

yep, and it's pretty annoying.  I am slim with a pretty low body fat %.  The ICD has no where to hide, and is pretty prominant.

Just turned 61.  True story.  Several months ago I was 1.5 hours into my 2-hour workout.  I was half way through the boxing/sparring part of the workout and the next thing I know, it's 3 days later and I found myself coming out of a coma.  Turns out I actually died from something called Sudden...

Just saw the thread asking who is in better shape, you or your wife?  Since almost all the posters are raving about the great shape their wife is in, post 'em up.  Here's mine at 58.  She's still hanging in there : - )   

my wife at 58.

yep, soooooo satisfying : - )

I have a team in the main ffpc league (not the FBG league) and I can get in with no problems.

Man, I'm so relieved.  My son had distanced himself from his friends in high school and he spent his Senior year mostly as a loner.  He was counting the days to move out of state and go to college at Colorado State.   He's 2 weeks into it, and the start couldn't have been better.  His roommate...
