You want another Viagra fact?
Viagra helps with altitude sickness.

Just read the book Leisureville by Andrew Bleichman a humorous insiders expose of "the Villages" in Fla.



. iT seems that the local septuagenarian/ octogenarian studs wear a ring with a VIGARA pill as a center stone so that if /when they get lucky they got the ring on ! One lothario known as "Mister Midnite" has a real rep with the ladies . Altho IMHO they 'd be advised to call him MR Nine-Thirty " since that when they roll up the sidewalks there and the BARS CLOSE -- ROFLMAO

Several gynecologists mention in the book that the rate of STD's is raging their among SR's who play around but aer ignorant about how to protect themlselves -------------------------

Had my monthly check up w/ doc tonite -- things are going well so he gave me a pass until January told me go ahead ski , golf use the snow blower just warm up well before hand .

Al vitals look strong , he'll be yanking me off another drug in january . Told me that my weight was great and no need to lose anymore i'm 6' 1" and 190 now - wanted to go to 185 .

I probably still will ,but he says at my age you can lose muscle mass and that any more weight loss DOES NOT add Value . When i asked about BMI he was of the opinion that the research is FLAWED and the numbers are NOT realistic and add no value .

Interesting bcuz my low BMI target was 171 -- i'd be a damn scarecrow at that weight according to the Queen who wants me to quit now !!

You're a good boy Warp for doing what the Doc says. I suppose that wake up call you had may have been a motivating factor.

Congrats...and stick with the 190. I little "cushion" in the BMI is a good thing.

Warp Daddy, I've been missing you.

Thanks Trekie !!


I'm still doing well and have dropped 42 lbs

I am now the lightest i've been since college days . I FINISH cardio rehab gym training program this friday . ALL vitals remain really strong i have RIPPED out a few chest and back muscles lifting too much weight this past weekend but otherwise things are GREAT>


The big challenge for me skiing will be more mental than physical as i need to stay in control and not just rip as i have in the past . They warn against falls at speed ---- so its going to take an adjustment in style till both my confidence and endurance get back BUT I'll be out there .

Thanks for all the support !!!

Warp

Wow, Warp! You're doing great! Might be a bit of an adjustment keeping the speed in check but it's worth it and I know you'll do just fine. :D
