ira Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sometimes I forget I'm 60!I get up for work at 5:30 a.m. ...and most nights take my wonderful son Jake ..who has special needs..to therapy...to a Tourette's Help session...to dinner...cook for him and me...and besides that I go to the gym and have to prove to myself tha t I'm 20.Well this morning I missed a curve in the road and wound up flipped over in my car.Went to the emergency room at JFK Hospital...after cat scan (I don't know how to spell that) and chest x-ray...I only have contusions and possibly higher insurance rates.Anyhoo...like all of us...I got some REAL stresses in my life...and maybe it's time to stop runnin' and tryin' to prove I'm young and that I'm O.K.I'm tryin' to sell my house...I'm divorcin'...I'm pondering retirement...I met a woman I like and that scares the shit out of me...Maybe it's time to take a little advice from the Beatles and stop bein' afraid to face my demons...and...

RaspBen Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 OMG Ira thank god your ok! Sometimes it takes something like that to tell us to slow down, but a more safer sign from up above would of been nice huh?

Kirk Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Glad to hear you're o.k., Ira. I don't know what a guy goes through right after a divorce, but maybe the message here is 'slow down a little'- you don't have to prove anything to anybody! Just sayin'...O.k., now go out and get yourself a brand new red sports car! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CURLEW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 IraYou take a photo of what's left of that car & keep it in your wallet. Any time you feel that stress and/or exhaustion are taking their toll, just step back, pull out the photo, and remember how you dodged a bullet on the morning of March 9th. One 'sick' day off is better than no more days on or off. Good things are happenning for you at this point in your life, and we certainly all want you to be around to enjoy them...
