  • LOL!+4 It's all in the genes Mike whether it's health or Browns. 😁 My intention is to out live you (begin my 70th year next month). My youngest grandparent to die was 86, oldest 98. Always been an Aggie fan and believe me, like the Browns, it builds character (or characters maybe too πŸ˜‰ ). And the 45 years since Vietnam is all icing on the cake that was unexpected, but certainly appreciated warts and all. No such thing as rain on this parade. Just glad to be in it still, even if a bit wet from time to time. Sounds like you too. 😁

    Ag, It appears we are 2 peas in a pod! LOL

    Let's you & I just keep laughin' at the aging process. I get people saying "you don't look or act like a 69 year old" & I ask how I'm supposed to look or act?

    Anytime you get to Ohio, shoot me a PM.

  • I'm all for living to a ripe old age but not thinking I would want to make it past 100 though.

    I'd be ok with it as long as I could still make it to my Browns' seats, fish with the great or great-great Grandkids, & laugh.

    My white haired A&M classmates do not think it funny that my hair is still almost as black as it was as a teen. I have to point out the few silver ones that go from root to tip to prove i don't color it. I just say, "It's just the genes boys, just the genes." πŸ˜†

    If I come that way I'd like to meet you and several other of the BB crew. At the moment I stay pretty busy with grandkids and visits with 4 siblings & families.

    Understood. We have 7 Grandkids, 4 local & 3 in San Antonio. Looks like we will be flying down for the oldest Granddaughters high school graduation in a few months. A stop at Rudy's Country Store & BBQ is a must.

  • At one point, my avatar was a picture of Alfred E Neuman, the "What, me worry?" guy from Mad Magazine. As a young, poor, inner city kid, I chose to face everything in life with that extreme optimism (a strong faith has helped too), including Vietnam & my beloved Browns, knowing that there is positive in every negative & I think it's healthy to look for, and dwell on, the positive. My reward follows:

    Had my annual physical today...weight down, BP (as always) 115 over 70, all other stuff normal & only change is that, even though already in good range, my "bad cholesterol" is trending DOWNWARD. All this while still being totally medicine free & eating & drinking whatever the hell I want!!! Life is good....so is beer, red meat, bacon, sausage, BBQ, Pizza, fried fish, buffalo wings, Slim Jims, BBQ chips, cookies, twinkies, peanut butter fudge, apple pie, rhubarb pie, & several other less healthy food items that I consume in large doses (I salt almost EVERYTHING, including pizza & McDonalds burgers & fries). All this in my 70th year. My wife just shook her head, laughed, & said "I know what he EATS & DRINKS!". Frank (my Doc) just laughs & reminds me I'm a rarity. I think it's all attitude. I know this was lengthy, but I just wanted to make my point that being positive can be healthy, not only for us, but for our Browns.

    The Browns have taught me "unconditional love".

    God bless ya Mike!

    I may be old. I may be tired. But that doesn't mean, I'm uninspired. When my doctor is telling me why I'm on half the inventory at CVS I can finally tell him "that's not what Canton Mike says."

  • Me, I do take just one little pill, a mild one, for blood pressure.

    I wouldn't have to, except Canton Mike's chip dip is too peppery,

    and he keeps disagreeing with me about the draft.... 😑

    I DO like some heat in my food. Capsicum is good for ya!

    As far as arguing with you, that's EASY! Your idea of a BIG WR is 5'10". 😡

    Mike, one of the ole bastards....and proud of it. LOL

  • being a lifelong brown's fan means you're predetermined to die a bitter old alcoholic found dead on the toilet clutching an italian combo with a rum and coke in a sippy cup on the sink next to you. cause of death: heart attack straining to take a shit through the constipation brought on by years of opioid abuse.

    nah, just kidding. browns fans could sit outside and watch an A bomb go off, get a nice tan and brush off the dust of everything else that used to be while we go get another drink and another italian combo.

    No, what I said was "big-GER". He was bigGER than you. But you hadn't gotten


    your new hearing aid yet. And the last time I finished your cheesy chip dip, I missed


    part of the fourth quarter because my eyes were watering. I'll bring my own, and


    we'll see whose chip dip is just right.


  • Don't worry fellas I'll stay off your lawn πŸ™‚
