You've got my sympathy man. I know first hand about back pain, I've hurt so bad I contemplated suicide to end the suffering because I just couldn't deal with the pain anymore.

Mine has been pretty good the last couple of months just aggravating but not debilitating like it is much of the time.

Right now, my shoulder and neck is ****ed up and I can hardly move my head around. And my back flared up yesterday, but not as bad as usual. Hopefully it will calm down soon.

I was the same way when I was younger. I never missed a day of school, had perfect attendance until 7th grade when I got the flu (first time I'd been sick in my life) and had perfect attendance after that to graduation. Family was the same way, my first cousin and closest buddy had perfect attendance from K though 12th graduation. Same way at work, I never missed a day of work in high school or college or after until I started to work for myself.

I was just raised to suck it up, do your duty and fulfill your commitments no matter what.


Sick days are for pussies and I was taught not to be a *****, be a man and do what a man does, lol.

I wasn't that a hole, I just didn't get sick. I must have had a superior immune system. I was a real man, a tough sonofabicth, unlike you little sissy boys nowadays that have to skip school and work and life every time you get a little sniffle and stay home so mommy can tuck you in, feed you chicken soup and take your temperature rectally.

I'm serious! I've only been really sick a handful of times in my whole life, and have only been to the doctor a few times in life. I just don't get sick and need a doctor like most people do.

I've always been weird like that. I didn't really cry for over a month after I was born and my parents thought it was normal, first kid they ever had. Then one day I started crying and wouldn't stop and they freaked out because they hadn't seen anything like it. Took me to the hospital and found out I was constipated, couldn't handle some kind of milk they were giving me. Gave me an enema, changed my milk and I was fine.

I don't like hangovers so I don't get drunk much. 2 strong drinks and I'm good plus I had errands to run hahaha.

Justin and I went to dinner and had more cocktails

A 10x is more powerful magnification than an 8x. The last number is the objective - how much light comes in.

Anything more than 10x for binoculars is too strong a magnification. It hinders your ability to appropriately glass the entire area in front of you by 1)reducing your field of vision and 2) making recognition of closer objects more difficult because of stability and size. A general-purpose set of binoculars should be 8x. If you want higher power magnification, best bet is a spotting scope.

50's are going to be difficult to find what you're looking for inside a half mile. What brand are they?
