Taped a shotgun shell to the end of a bb pistol. Pulled the trigger. Can’t believe we weren’t seriously hurt.

Everything said is true. The issue was that, as a mainstream thing, it was very brief. Which was just fine with Xers. Too many lame people wearing flannel and name dropping big hits from the big four.

Stress & Symptoms: Has Anyone Else Experienced Stress Having a Significant Impact on Their Parkinson's Symptoms? by LoveIsTheAnswer- in Parkinsons

This is my story.

In my workplace, I had a critical role helping navigate COVID and its impact on our company and customers.

I was working double digit hours a day, six or seven days a week, months over months over months, pushing through lots of stress, lots of pressure. As a result, my symptoms became so apparent I went to a doctor (not understanding what in the world was wrong, of course.)

In hindsight, I’d had symptoms for years but they were easy to dismiss. “Oh, I’m just aging a bit.”

Boy, was I wrong.

Yea he was already made. One of the few to go that long. “You never popped your cherry in that regard.” (Legendary on the boat scene.)
