Let me get this straight… you came on the Rokslide looking for fellow feeling and maybe encouragement? Home of the Hunting ethics BOAL thread and WKRs and dank meme-age out the wazoo?
I’m not a Dr. or an English teacher and I don’t even play one on TV, but I’ve watched many episodes of “House” and all of “To Sir with Love” so I feel qualified to give medical advice and correct grammar and spelling on the internet... where all of the tomatoes are virtual. Having established my bonafides, let’s start with spelling.
Aggriviated is not an English word. It
aggravates me to see it butchered thusly. So far off not even spell check could help you. Maybe Swedish? But please don’t fix it cuz it’s some funny s**t.
In another egregious case , WV Mountaineer uses pander (usual meaning to pimp ) in place of ponder, as in “sit and think”. This is known as a malapropism and it’s fortunately hilarious. Many more in his post, but Imma leave him alone cuz he sounds tougher’n a ole boot. Beware the pitfalls of voice recognition software. Insert smiley face here.
Medically, it sounds like OP may have a bad case of Johnson-Smallish Respiratory Hackanosis (I saw this on House) where unexpectedly an anatomically inappropriate drainage canal has opened from the Johnson area into the lungs, causing pulmonary distress every time you piss… or get pissed. The only known cure is to rub the scent glands from a mature ungulate on your upper lip. You can do this after you’ve shot one, or do the catch and release method. Difficult but gratifying.
hopefully I’ve annoyed enough people that I’ll soon be appearing in a dank meme. As a fan of word play I’m glad we’ve invented a new and rich meaning for the word dank.
All kidding aside, drink water, take your meds, get some rest, and go hunting. If you have to scale it back by hunting out of a vehicle base camp so be it.
If it helps, consider my condition. I don’t want either sympathy or kudos. I just want the OP to have some perspective. For starters I’m fing old.. 64. I have a torn meniscus in both knees, a repaired umbilical hernia, two not repaired inguinal hernias, a reattached right bicep lower tendon, and on top of all that.. a vasectomy!! . I’ve had a persistent cough for three years. I’ve got seriously flat feet with impressive bunions on both sides. I had to have orthotic inserts made and had custom molded boots by Lathrop and Sons cuz of foot pain. I have a heart condition which makes me see spots, and dizzy quite often. I just got out of the ICU on Tuesday for ventricular tachycardia and I’m scheduled for an Afib catheter Ablation procedure next week.
Last year I did not fill a tag but put about 110 miles on my new boots at elevations from 7000 to 10000 feet while trying to do so. The year before I did not have a tag but put in about the same mileage and elevation helping my 60 year old brother fill his first buck tag. Then I helped him pack it out, about six miles.
I’m going into camp on Oct 16th if it kills me. My only concern is forcing my brother and son to shorten their trip if I manage to achieve my last wish of stroking out while chasing a giant mule deer Buck.
after reading my list of stuff that is wrong with me I believe I have achieved Tough Old Codger status. Moderators… how about a new designator for old sliders who are still chasing back country bucks. Maybe TOC or Ninja Geezer?
Let the mockery begin !!
