About to turn 50 and am too tired to continue

"Find your way through, magg.s !

I believe it is attributed to Churchill -
'X If you find yourself in Hell, keep going !(through) ! !! '"

That's what you have to do, i guess once you pass 50. my mom has serious health problems and my step-dad is literally keeping her going by constant care and dedication she has wanted to check out many times as her downs have required hospital stays. Seems to me once you pass some age, everyone is different; you have to be the reason you keep pushing on.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Damn, skiJ. You've always had such amazing positivity of the contagious kind. I hope you get all the low angle meadow skipping you can do. Get well.

[skiJ]

hey, guys - Thanks! for the responses and Thank You for your concern --

One of my Least favorite (quotes) is,

' it is(,) what it is. '


heart failure
( Ain't) the way I'm going - Out. (!)

Heddle and I talked about it years ago...
( he was going to die of kidney failure when "they" refused to do a second transplant )

I believe I saw him on his last Good day -
" scary, " I said ;
He nodded emphatically.


I am older than my chronology -

The pulmonary edema was an indicator -
I have had lung damage since 2010, when Influenza became Pneumonia became ( Probably) Septic.
I got antibiotics. and had tunnel vision ( literally. my peripheral vision was Black. )
... had tunnel vision for three weeks --

yes, I have the dogs.
it would be good to outlive them...


But My point, really, was - IS- the mountain lion ! AND embracing Life - through the Darkness. !

Depression Is ... real -

mental health is definitely real. ...

The mountain lion, ,,, FKnA >> it - LIFE don't get more Real !


in August, I Will go to the river of my youth -
we spent a Perfect day there in '17 to Celebrate (my) Dad's Life...


Thank You -
I still love this place !

Rock ON ! skiJ

(( when I get to an actual Computer, I will 'clean-up' my earlier post - Thank you. ))

Yo SkiJ,
My new season pass is valid what, 5 miles from your place?You & I will ski together again this winter. I’m excited about this new pass.

Two cardiac gimps shredding the low angle groomers FKNA !

Even if you don’t put on skis and we just share a cup of coffee in the day lodge together, that still counts as skiing with friends. Word.

Fucking mountain lions!!

We all love mountains. And lions are awesome!!

Unless they eat you.

PS. Mountain lions are actually cougars. And cougars can destroy your life and marriage.

Positive healing vibes sent your way.

“Heart failure” is a scary term but like anything medical there are degrees of severity. Sometimes people hear “failure” and understandably think their heart is no longer working - it’s more like your heart is a car engine and with age it’s no longer as efficient as it should be. It’s a “failure” to work as well as it should.

The treatments available to stabilize and improve the efficiency of your heart have changed dramatically over the past decade - best advice is to see a heart specialist if you can unless your GP is really up to date on the newer treatments. Unless your GP is fresh out of school the treatment algorithm they were previously taught is no longer the standard approach.

And a “I skied with Harry” or a “I had a coffee with Harry” t-shirt sounds like a great 24/25 season goal.

All that^. I was freaked when my dad was told he had heart failure. It’s a terrible name for what can be a very manageable condition. My dad would have times were the chf would big him down to the point of him being a floppy rag doll that didn’t have the energy to even stand still. He’d go into the hospital for some IV lasix and the diuretic would take all the fluid off and he’d be good to go and full of energy. We became fairly frequent flyers w the CHF team at the hospital. Find yourself some good cardiac care!

Sometimes I sits and thinks.

And sometimes I just sits. And listens to this, on loop.



Too late to stop now! Rock on!

SkiJ already has one of my T-shirts, we skied together at Christie Mountain a few years back. Great guy, he has a heart of gold. I would ski, or have coffee, with him anytime anywhere.

I will take wonky formatting over fucking idiots any time

Wait. What?
Don't try to embrace mountain lions if you want to outlive your dogs.

On the contrary. I'd love to able to read what he posts. It literally gives me a panic response and I had to put him on ignore.

Yeah I only kinda understood what he wrote. Makes my eyes hurt and my ADHD go nuts. But somewhere in there were a lot of kind words when I lost Wally.

[mcski]

I Hope I’m wrong but I have started to visualize some weird Stephen hawking type texting apparatus as the culprit in his ee cummings style thread posts

It’s stream of conciseness.

Brain droppings.
Read or don’t.

[wendigo]

ee cummings is like reading the atlantic compared to a skij post

I'm 6 months away from 50. I certainly wish I had the fire,piss and vinegar I had when I was 35. I need to lose 30lbs. Can't stop eating ice cream.

Overall though, life is good. I'm sober. I was a drunk mess 4yrs ago.

I def need to have a fit and healthy 50s to set myself up for my 60s and beyond.

Hope things are good buzz.

[TBS]

B - As someone who lost more than 30, I can tell you it’s well worth the effort. You already have the discipline to refuse alcohol every day. You can cut sugar/carb intake. You’ll feel so much better and have more energy.

[gravitylover]

Yup that ice cream stuff will get ya. I'd be good with dropping 15 but that damn Haagen Dazs...

[buttahflake]

Ice cream is a once a year treat. Take some laps fat-ass’s.

( gonna) bump this thread with a short - I hope - anecdote (

I took two runs in March - first time since 2018 or absolutely the first time since pre-covid 2020 -

so,,, wanting more, I went to CO in May ;

Loveland was closed, so
we went to arapahoe ( what I call, A. Basin ) ;
pulmonary edema shut me Down after three, short, Easy, lower-mountain runs.

But it turns-out,
I did not go to CO to be on-skis (

the next night - ten.pm, (on) May sixteenth (2024), I saw a mountain lion.

( no shit. )


Life can be a strange journey -

I am no - longer long for this Life., but as long as we are living, through whatever Darkness we live through ! EMBRACE the reward of Life. !


ski you next year, Mir -
I work a little each day not-to-be a complete turd. Midwest was a "terminal-Intermediate" skier
( But, god, how I Loved to ski! ) --


Find your way through, magg.s !

Hey Buttah, can we maybe leave this as not one for you to cunt up? That’d be much appreciated.
