A good friend has always said to use your brain, not your back. To late for me, 8 vertebrate fused so far.

Neck and back problems do suck Sheepdog, it can sweep away quality of life.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I have broken my back twice. First time two broken vertebrae. Second time a bad compression fracture. Right now I have two very bad herniated discs that are pressing on the nerves that go to my legs. So I am in constant agony.

I work my own business full time, work at home on our tree farm, and take care of my invalid wife.

My insurance only covers a crappy local hospital. If I go to a good hospital - the Cleveland Clinic, I have a $21,000 deductible. That sucks. I need help.

Did all the hard stuff without a front end loader until last year. Wifey bought me a cream puff medium sized used tractor with a loader. It has been so helpful that this year she also bought me a brand new BIG tractor with a front end loader to save my back. I wish I would have had those loaders many years ago. I sold my two old worn out tractors to guys who really appreciated getting them.

Young guys take warning - don’t be lazy, but do anything to protect your back.

Best wishes.

I always say...

Never lift with your back.

Lift with your Lance Corporals.


The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle.
