Full spinal fusion eh? I bet you have a scar that is TOTALLY METULZ.
Sure do!! Neck to waist, with a hip graft scar on the side... I either tell people I got it to distract from my shizzy tattoos, or its where my zipper used to be, or its a ninja injury
Me thinks we need a Rooers with back problems thread. mizvalentine, I totally need to chat with you because that is what I am looking at. Been putting it off, but I'm not sure how much longer I can.
ANY questions I can answer, please ask. I've been through pretty much every palliative, therapeutic and surgical treatment there is for back pain...PT, MT, chiro, acupuncture, bracing, two spinal fusions, etc. Back pain's like a clogged toilet, you just wanna ignore it but that never fixes it! Hang in there...its amazing what they can do for backs these days, you'd be surprised how great you can feel!
So tonight I got chewed out by my parents. It's not really a Grrr, I know who they are and what they do. I live in their house, I'm their blood - but we're so little alike that I'm just like WTF and eventually carry on with my own life.
Inforoo is a special place to me. It's a collective of like minded people - who enjoy life, who enjoy music, who are genuinely good people. People who do good deeds for each other, take care of each other. I can think of Clemson Steph sending out Christmas ornaments, a little surprise in the mail back in December. I can think of Forecastle last year, LLL calling me and asking if I was in town yet. I can think of Popsicle Sarah bringing up some beers for me from Asheville on her east coast tour, and then going out of her way to meet up with Heather and I in Providence before heading to Maine. I can think of getting invited to parties in Nashville, 1000 miles from home. And then there's Fawn and Don ... where do I even begin? Little or big, a bunch of people around here make me feel like I'm a part of something really special. Something I hadn't ever known until 2011 or so.
My blood family sees me as this negative black hole, a depressing train wreck, and an embarrassment to themselves. They don't know the real me. They don't really want to know the real me. They don't like much anything about me, what little they do (care to) know. They won't see the real me, the positive and happy Brian. Between Heather's family, my good friends in Occupy, and my friends at Inforoo - y'all know me more than my blood family. Y'all respect me and appreciate me more than my blood family. I know I'm not perfect - but for those of you who care for me, who show me love and friendship - I can't thank you enough. I'm happy for being able to add a little happiness and positive outlook in your life, or would like to anyway.
Dude don't know you (but I do keep running into people that say, remember when we met at .....grrrr I hate forgetting) I digress, I don't know you but I would like to, so C U at the Roo I hope. Quitting smoking: Not to start with a downer, but I quit for 15 years and started again. With that said: For smokers that quit; I have to say it was the greatest thing at the time I think I did. It's hard but oh soooooooooooooooooooooo worth it. When you don't work: Friday=Meh, another great day just like any other. For my yay: My cat Jimi, MAY NOT, eat my dog BonnieRoo. She has no idea what is behind those paws ... cr****
YAY for the quitters!!! What a huge accomplishment & I want you to know that I am sooo proud of you!

I have PAD which is a pain NPI and I just try and sort of ignore it. I am usually pretty darn healthy so I took a chance when I retired. I can't draw Medi whatever so I opted out and have NO medical insurance at all. I can draw Medxxxx in 7 months so I can't have anything serious happen to me. OK Mother Nature, lay off of me for a while K. I try to be nice to you most of the time ......

I can relate to this a little bit. I wish that I was closer to my family, but unfortunately we do not have the same views on, pretty much, everything. It makes me sad from time to time, but I can't dwell on it. I feel as though my friends (including people here in InfoRoo) have become my family. My friends are the ones now who I go to for help, advice, someone to look up to... There's been many times that I needed advice or help, and people in here have been there for me. It's an amazing feeling to be apart of a community like this. I hope to meet you at Roo LD!

I am going strictly by your join date, but if you aren't a lurker: A lot of these boards (like our fav here) do inform you, make you smile, make you say WTF!!!!, and promote a sense of community because of the love of music. Life is good and the internet is a godsend because every word on it is the truth .....
OMG you guys on this site are awesome. That's my Yay I think.
Also life is good. Why? Because we're all here sharing these moments together. I love you all just for being you and that no matter how hard life gets we choose to focus on the positive. Life is hard but it doesn't have to be bad.
I'm not perfect but I'm a lot closer to it than I was a year ago. Yay for me finding this board. Yay for me choosing Bonnaroo over Coachella (I was going to do both but money issues arose and I had to choose one...and I think I made the right decision) and yay to new friendships. Cheers everyone.
Also it's 11 PM here and I have work in about 6 hours. I could be sleeping but I can't get away from this board so yay for priorities lol

NINJURY! You gotta be tough as nails to survive one of those attacks. Or at least as tough as Abra. She will also cut you.
My gimpy back originates from 1. Having moderate scoliosis to begin with, and 2. being on a road trip, looking to my left after waking from a nap in the back seat, and seeing the word FREIGHTLINER getting really big really fast.
I ordered an inversion table today because the disc ruptures are becoming too frequent. I'll hopefully be able to bring it in the RV to roo, so all the gimpybacked inforoosters can have a go.
Not so much a YAY as just a happy surprise. I've had a stressful day at work and I log in to facebook for the first time today to see a random photo that someone has tagged my aunt in. Instead o being a photo of my aunt, it's a photo of some gals that my Dad photo bombed back in the 60s. I can't help but smile when I see it.
Papa Hollis is the O.G. Mad Photobomber. Don't EVEN try to front.

I love this post! We're glad to have you. Now stick around!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

But it's Papa Porter... that's my family name (Hollis is a horrid man my mother married and not the name I was born with. But that's another story for another day.)

LD, I'm 45 years old and I'll ready to adopt you
I have almost nothing in common with my family and not much of a real relationship with them. I was lucky to marry someone whose family is much like the one I wish I had. I have a great husband and kids and some wonderful kids. I also have this crazy bunch of weirdos who have music "in common" but really are a far flung tribe.
And WTF is up with all the car repairs, $1,300 dollars in repairs last week
So I'm at a random ass bar in town. My friend is doing an art thing for a band playing there. Next thing I know Jim James shows up. I say hello because I'm a fanboy. Small talk is cool then we part ways. After all the bands play there is an open jam session. Jim grabs a bass and starts playing, mind you there are like 15 people here tops. I figure "fuck it this is an awese chance and luckily (don't ask me how I have it tonight because I never keep it in my car and this is the luckiest thing ever tonight) I have my saxophone with me. So I run out and grab it and sart playing with Jim on bass, a guitar player, a drummer, and a keyboard player. We play for like 30 minutes. Highlight of my life. Fuck. I don't even know what to say.

All charges dropped. Thanks to my incredibly good lawyer. A huge amount of stress has been relieved. Onward and upward. :-) Hope everybody has a great weekend.

My bad! Papa Porter is the OG! Coincidentally, I went to middle school with a girl named Julie Porter. She had curly brown hair too. My own last name is off too, but only because of misspelling during immigration a few generations ago. Nothing as interesting as another day's story.

What did you and Jim talk about? What did y'all play while jamming? What was he wearing? You should have made him make an account here and come talk to us!
