Texas Maverick

I am guessing since he is a guest he is just making a comment without a whole lot of data to back it up. TM

When I was involved with the PD and we had to forcefully gain entry we left it that way and it was up to the owner to pursue getting reimbursed from the city. In some instances I know the city did fix the door and in some it did not. Depended on the situation. FAFO was definitely in place when we had to push our way in. TM

I was going to suggest the 3 finger salute and see if that helps. You should boot every week if you are not. Helps clear out a lot of temp files and keep everything running smooth. TM

I don't have a back brace, what was recommended? TM

Mine is getting worse. I now have to have help getting in and out of bed and chairs. Doctor can't get me in for shot until next Tuesday afternoon. Gonna be long days until then. Back is in constant pain with hard hitting spasms when I move. None of my pain pills are working. I don't know if it is nerves or muscles causing the pain. I hope the epidural shots works. Not sure who I would go see if it doesn't. TM

Eyesa, it is a burden we will have to live with for the rest of our lives. Not fun but I just take it a day at a time. TM

A little late to the party but prayers are on there way. Cowboy prayers are better and God listens to us first so you are in good hands. TM

It has changed a lot since I wore the uniform back in the 80's and 90's. We didn't wear gloves back then except when handling a firearm that had been used in a homicide. We didn't have all this drug and other harmful related items to deal with. It was much easier back then. Now you have to worrying about a lot of different issues. Glad I don't have to deal with any of that. Just take care and stay safe. TM

Update: I have waited before writing this because I was hoping it was just over worked muscles but at this point I am not sure. I have gone to the doctor for the trigger shots across my lower back and they haven't done anything. The pain pills they gave me haven't worked either. At this time I am on my walker to get around, my lower back muscles are constantly in pain with severe spasms hitting me when I try to move around. I am now trying to get back in for the epidural shot and see if that helps. My back doctor that did the laminectomy has pushed me back over to my pain management doctor. All I can say right now is that life isn't fun. The only position I can get into that doesn't hurt is to lie on my back in bed. I am not one that can just lay in bed all day so right now it is grin and bear it. Now back to the State Championship match. I actually did way better than I expected after being out so long. I came in 5th out of 9 in my category and even buckled. I was 121 out of 249 overall. I was able to keep my average under the 30 second mark which was better than I could have ever anticipated. Now I am paying for it I guess. Oh well, I just hope the epidural shot removes the pain. Thanks for all the prayers before, they did help. TM

I get an annual physical and have the PSA tested during the exam. It rose a little bit this past year but was still way below the concern level. However, my doctor wanted me to take more tests since my grandfather and father both had prostate cancer. So he ordered a biopsy and luckily all came out clear. So at 76 I am still on the clear side but will continue to get tested each year. I am not sure what this digital exam is. Never heard of it, but guess will ask the doctor at my next physical. TM

Same here. I have used both eBay and PayPal for over 30 years without any issues. Plain straight forward purchases and even sold some items on eBay. Not sure why others are having problems if they stay within the stated policies. I even have a business account with PayPal. TM

Yes, it is now bad. Please mail it to me for disposal. Thanks TM

Enjoyed the match. It was very well put together. Hats off to the whole gang. TM

or Sears catalogs. LOL TM

Sorry you won't make it but you will feel much better when that new knee heals and you can get around. I have had both done and like said above PT needs to be taken seriously. It can make or break a good operation. I had my spine surgery in Feb and been going to PT 2 to 3 times a week since. They finally cleared me to shoot this weekend so looking forward to it. Haven't shot a match since Land Run so gonna be real rusty but still looking forward to it. See ya at Land Run. TM
