Crocodiles do too. I have a pair of crocodile shoes and a matching belt .. I even have a crocodile watch strap I can put on one of my watches .... So i use it on the watch when I wear the shoes and belt (I know I'm worse than most ladies)

LOL, I have the same feelings for snakes, they make amazing accessories but don't like them alive.

Just realized, it was my 100th post. Woohooo

X5 is surely fun to drive, never tried 7 series though. I'm planning to switch from X3 to ML 350 this year as my X3 is getting old. We'll see how good this one will be.

I started a pain management program this past Tuesday because there is nothing more that can be done for me except pain management. The pain management doctor is a anesthesiologist who actually was the anesthesiologist who knocked me out when I had the 3 surgeries for the problem I have .. Anyway, I'm taking a pain medication that works well, but it doesn't make me sleepy plus he believes in lowering the pain so it is manageable instead of trying to be totally pain free .. So I take a pill every 12 hours, and I have a instant release of the same medication as a rescue pill when I need it .... I see the doc again this week, and he is going to add a medicine to help me go to sleep .. something safer to take with the pain meds

So my saving grace is my family (mom lives close to my house) and I have TRF. I've been a member here a long time, and there are some really awesome people who keep me company to help distract me when I'm in bad pain and waiting for the instant release med to kick in .... But I also go through some really debilitating depression, and the folks here chat with me and cheer me up when the depression hits me really hard .. I don't take meds for depression because the pain doc doesn't think it's a good idea, and only thinks I should take them if I ever get to where chatting about Rolex watches and Mon's wife shoveling snow in her bikini (you missed it, but it was totally funny joke I fell for)

Anyway .. I'm always here if the pain gets to bad and I hope you feel better

Sound a very similar situation to me, they told me moving forward all they can offer was pain control, I started and successfully used the medication as required to mediate the pain, but after so long this killed my sleeping! As the medication was opioid based and after so long of taking it I was I a vicious cycle of taking to to relieve pain but once the pain has subsided I went through withdrawal type sytoms as I withdraw the painkillers!

Now I have to use a low dose daily and up it it the pain becomes to much so really I’m dependant on the painkillers for the rest of my life.

I’m not sure if I’ve or have suffer from depression I know most morning I wake with an awful headache and little motivation but I’m in a routine now of pushing myself to get up and going and find this self motivation plus help from the family gets me up and running and on with the day.

My pain doc is brilliant. He has me on low dose and only 3 times a day so that I don’t become dependent, and the meds continue to work. I take a pill 2 times a day that lasts 12 hours because it’s slow release, and I can have 1 tablet .. 2 in a emergency.. of the same medicine but it’s instant release if I have need in between my 12 hour dose. The medicine works well, but it has the opposite effect of making some people drowsy. So with the pain, and lack of sleep and the diagnosis, I suffer from depression and its debilitating sometimes. That’s why I’m glad to have friends here onTRF

I like the Mercedes S class, but that's the only one

I have my RR's but my daily driver car is Lexus .... I have the 2012 LS 460, and a brand new RX .... I'm getting the new LS 500 and trading my current LS for it. I only have low 40,000 mile range on it, and it seems like only yesterday when I got it but it's six years old now and time to trade.

But the Shark River Park is a good place to visit Gators who didn’t go to UF!

Yes, at its terminus in Miami, it is SW 8th St.
once the canal was dug, and the fill dirt made into a roadbed to Naples, Ft. Myers and Tampa, it was dubbed “Tamiami Trail” (a contraction of Tampa to Miami).

The Tamiami Trail has many city streets named differently in cities along its route. For those thinking of a visit and holiday on the road, here’s a little history. My grandparents watched it being built and they were some of the early Miamians who traveled it dragging a skiff on a trailer to fish the Ten Thousand Islands.

I read somewhere that it was closed in parts due to storm damage. Has it opened back up?
