    Sorry about the double post below. On your hip, if it needs replacement, get it done ASAP. You might check several sources that can verify a surgeon that does excellent work. I had both of mine done at the same time about 13 years ago. Best thing I ever did should’ve had it done several years earlier. Immediately you’ll find the hip pain you’ve had is gone and you just have recovery pain that gets better quickly!

    Julie was an awesome sultry singer. And later in her career she was on TV. I thought you were going to say it! She was Nurse Dixie McCall on Emergency!

      I was mixing her up with Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett). Now that I look her up, I see she was in Emergency, a show I watched on occasion. I never knew why my Dad owned those records.

    I’m enjoying your content. We are both very similar I have a bedroom studio, like photography thinking of buying a drone to take pictures and video. The one major difference is I’M STILL WORKING…😖 I am 62.5 and I’m planning on retiring at 65 can’t wait I have so much life (hobbies) to live! Keep doing what you’re doing my friend I’ll be there soon. Cheers

      thanks for the comment. I don't know your situation but don't wait to retire if at all possible. My final trigger was a buddy at work who kept saying he needed to work just one more year, he passed from cancer November 2022 within a month of getting diagnosed. never activated his pension, had plenty of money to retire but was holding out for just a bit more money. His death triggered my decision to retire a year later 12/31/2023. don't wait if your financial situation can support it. I plan to do a video on my music room. I've recorded a number of things there including two songs recently released - check out my artist. channel @chucksturgeon

    Happy Easter to you and your family. Was sweet watching you play music with your mom. 🥰

      thank you and thanks for stopping by. it's always fun to get Mom on the piano although that piano needs tuning. I wish I could play like her. One of my retirement bucket list items is to learn to play the piano better.

    Even a month out of work on a Sunday you get that work up. It must be the instant relief as soon as you know you don’t need to go to work. 😊
