THE "WTF were they thinking" thread!

[Irving]

My back hurt a lot the next day. At the end of the day I took 440mg of Aleve and the pain went away within minutes and never came back. Very strange for me. I never bother taking pain killers because they never seen to do anything. I'm always amazed when they actually work.

Aleve/naproxen sodium had been my preferred NSAID for osteoarthritis and joint pain. Doc put me on celebrex/celecoxib instead. Ibuprofen doesn't do much for me at all even at high doses, but it is good for nerve pain, including dental work. Dentists like it since it's a Cox 2 inhibitor and can actually shrink irritated nerves in teeth.

I wish I didn't know this shhhhtuff. I have learned that having a high pain threshold can be a bad thing. You don't take it easy and slow down when that's what the pain is trying to get you to do, and you pay the price later. Having some issues later in life has revealed that I had fractures that were never addressed. Going to the doctor was just something my family didn't do (couldn't afford to do?) unless it was absolutely necessary.

Cut yourself some slack and try to think about the long game.

Yeah, things we think we walked away from when we were young often end up becoming bone spurs and points of arthritis when we're older.

The body's a patient, vindictive bitch. We don't walk away from anything.

Be glad Irving, be very thankful.

This is from when I fell off a roof...

I am glad believe me. There isn't a time that I'm chalking up a gutter on a two story directly over a fence that I don't think about The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

3 kids, 8, 10, and 12, poked at a black widow and allowed it to bite each of them so they could turn into Spiderman

I feel bad for the spider.

Does anyone else have a bit of anxiety when opening this thread? I'm always a tad bit worried that there will be a picture or link to an article about something I did.

Thankfully there was no Internet or cell phones when I was a kid doing stupid stuff. Youth today just don't seem to grasp the concept of "plausible deniability".

I have a suspicion that most of us would be in jail if our childhood actions were judged by today?s standards.
