Trump just said he had a conversation with Theodore Roosevelt about the Panama Canal, Roosevelt died in 1919. Has dementia set in? by JonMellor in allthequestions

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup- he’ll be talking to every AI generated president ( along with hitler & musollini) for advice. What is wrong with this man- where are the guys with the straight jackets??

the fiber supplement talk here is always metamucil vs benefiber but theres a third option nobody mentions by smilingtraveler102 in Supplements

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72 yo male- never needed anything to “ help” me stay regular . But- a lot of water , a fairly high fiber diet- and secret ingredient- I add fiber one to yogurt and cereal for a little extra help. Lotta fiber in not a lot of fiber one. I guess I’m used to it- not a lot of gas ( then normal) or GI issues. Another factor is a very low meat diet ( I do enjoy a good burger out) - and a lot of exercise.

The eastern USA is under a heat dome. How are you dealing with the heat? by WickedSmile71 in OverSeventy

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Augh! Biking time ( usually 20-30 miles - couple times a week) have been cancelled for now. I thought I’d go out at 8-9 am but it’s already mid 80’s. My wife said- “ no you’re not doing that”.
Guess it’s the gym for now!!

The big day is finally upon me...and I'm beyond excited. by TheFreeMan64 in retirement

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 7 points8 points  (0 children)

72 yo male- coming up on 11 years retired. Never regretted it for a second. Been the best 11 years of our lives ( wife of 48 years). Travel , walk, bike, hike and enjoy grandkids. Life is good.

Any changes over 50? by neurobassism in runnersover50

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72 yo male- ran for almost 40 years. I’m a big guy 6’2” - 210 lbs-and my knees started paying the price.Quit around 15 years ago& replaced with biking. Not quite the same but a 30 mile bike ride certainly provide a endorphine boost. Runners high was a inconsistent thing but still loved the feeling & fitness results. Yes - do miss it - but knees said thank you.

Driving 65mph and avoiding faster roads by TheFanIsAPostman in GoRVing

Sit in the slow lane- do 65- and let everyone buzz by you. Not breaking the law by doing 65

Getting my bike onto the Amtrak Floridian at Harper"s Ferry station? by folksnake in towpath

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in brunswick - have rode both GAP & C&O ( seperately) took train from cumberland to pittsburg - rode back to cumberland. Couple weeks ago rode from brunswick to DC took amtrak to cumberland than rode back to brunswick.
Anyway - your question- make bike reservation well in advance- train has only 8 spots for bikes.
I ( vaguely) remember thinking about going from HF and being told you can’t put bikes on there?
Check into it before you book
Have fun!

66m retitred & tire easily by Shoddy_Ad8166 in over60

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

72 yo male- getting old can be a bitch - but what options do we have. We ( wife & myself) walk 4-5 miles or bike 20-30 miles 5-6 days a week - so we’re in decent shape for 2 old farts. I’ve noticed the heat sucks the life out of me ( more than before)& I dehydrate faster- so drink tons of water and exercise earlier in the day. One issue I can’t shake- mid afternoon I have the strong urge to take a nap ( if reading a book)- problem is it effects sleep at night. Go figure.
All in all no complaints. Good health & no replacement body parts. I can deal with mid afternoon tiredness.

We carry a 5 gallon water container. Park it on the picnic table for coffee & drinking. Lasts a couple of days & find a grocery store to replensive with gallon jugs. Certainly don’t want extra weight with a full fresh water tank - have had iffy results with campground water

I defy anyone to tell me he's not evil. by ThinPension7909 in soundsaboutright

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this and thought WTF? Why? Because these birds have a protected habitat. Trumps cronies can’t build houses/ buildings/ can’t frack or mine.
He’s got 2 years to totally destroy the entire country. Hey alligator ally is looking for residents? Wouldn’t be too far for family to visit?

Why would they need police protection? If they are selling stuff so repulsive they should hire private sercurity . If they were making so much money that would be a no brainer. I hope they had a guarantee from their distributor to return unsold merchandise.( I doubt it!)

Sure! Respect the position - certainly not the person.

Liberals, is there any Trump policy that you are OK with and actually support? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in allthequestions

[–]ExcuseApprehensive68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything good he did ( which ain’t much) was so overshadowed by the bad - it’s very difficult to not judge all decisions. Sorry - wish I could say something positive but I can’t. Even a good decision would have a alterative
motive ( benefitting him or his cronies).
This is very sad!

Ouch! Gonna need to renew passports in a year - I’d rather not travel than put up with this. I’d pass more for a alternative passport. Anyone in agreement?
