    I think I was probably around 53 when one morning I got up and while stepping into my underwear I threw my back out of place.

    Now this is something that few people on the face of the Earth are able to accomplish. You could try to duplicate this several thousand times and never be able to repeat. I hope you took a picture.

    I took a picture in my mind and it wasn't a pretty one...it had audio too but that was mostly "oh fuck oh fuck"

    after that day, I rarely try to step into my shorts....I sit down and pull them up most of the way, then become homo sapient for the final stage. I don't need to save 7 seconds by hop-legging the process

    Having a ruptured disc between S1 and L5 was the most agonizing 2 weeks of intense pain I've ever experienced. (2004)

    I got lucky, the first epidural did the trick.

    To be precise, mine was slightly different. I had already put on my underwear, and I was standing on one leg putting on my pants. Same physical action though. And then, suddenly, I wasn't standing any longer.

    Disclaimer, sensationalist post ahead!:

    So,

    Is this how it ends?

    Growing defiance of the law from citizens and businesses simply wanting to survive(some wanting to secure their freedoms) causing the government to respond with the national guard walking the streets to ensure businesses stay closed and citizens don't congregate?

    What will happen then? Clashes with the government guards and protestors? The protestors will not like government militia patrolling the streets and some of the protestors are already armed!


    I try to be a positive person and think of the world in a glass half full mentality, but As Cali has 3 counties defying orders today and the news comes out of this possibly spreading, what will the government do?

    If they do nothing, they have lost all control and have shown the inability to control its citizens and the public will have lost all faith in anything about the government. So in my mind, the government has to try to maintain order, which would mean feet on the ground enforcing the closures.


    The other part of me that always tries to see all the angles regardless of the outcome I would prefer, is getting pretty concerned right now.....We shall see how it all plays out.

    I remember drinking in Hermosa Beach one night a while ago (maybe 15 years) and was talking to some dude who was in the Klan. I mean it was weird, but we were all wasted.
