Hi, everyone

UncleScoopy

Well, I can’t tell you that I’m ready to run a marathon, but I’m more optimistic. Unfortunately, the infection is still in my system so I’ll be having good days and bad until that is solved. I may or may not be posting because although I feel great now, I felt like I might die just three hours ago, and I may feel that way again in three more.

Many thanks for all the kind words and well-wishes you guys wrote.

I learned that there are certain benefits to a forced vacation:

1. I’m an old fart who literally had not taken a day off for something like 9,000 consecutive days. Maybe a rest was due. Preferably not an eternal one.

2. My other obsession besides my websites is my lively career in senior athletics. I don’t know if any of you follow my Facebook page under my real name (you really should not because it is as boring as a Terrence Malick film festival), but if you do, you know that I finally won my personal grand slam last year – a medal in the singles events of all four “racket sports” in the Senior Olympics. Pickleball is considered a racket sport even though no rackets are involved. I guess that’s because it’s basically badminton + tennis + a whiffle ball. Anyway, I play several hours every day, so I chew Ibuprofen like M&Ms, and my legs still ache all the time. My left knee is so painful I can’t walk up the stairs some days. Well, guess what? Turns out that two weeks of doing nothing has completely restored my legs. So I guess that’s a silver lining.

3. Also, it turns out that dyin’ is a great way to lose weight. I’m back to my youthful shape.

Anyway, be sure to keep supporting the guys who bring me traffic:

Popoholic, the complete optimist, my main man. How can you not love him? He never met a woman unworthy of at least four exclamation points! The internet can by a dark road to travel, and that makes his enthusiastic site a refreshing way-station.

Drunken Stepfather, the complete opposite of Popoholic – cynical and sometimes outright mean. I don’t know if I ever agree with his rants, but since he’s obviously writing in a character voice, I’m not sure whether he agrees with his own rants. (He writes several other sites, and they are quite straight. DS is his “bad as I wanna be” project.) Many of you dislike him, but he’s a guilty pleasure for me. Sorry to admit it guys, but he often makes me laugh, and sometimes I even have to admit he has a good point. I’m not sure if you know it, but celebs are only a portion of that site’s raison d’etre. DS truly manages to assemble an uncanny collection of videos for his special themes. Given the time he spends updating his other blogs, he must live on a planet with longer days

When a woman wears a see-thru, Hot Celebs Home does’t run one pic of the event. He’ll have every possible pic. Really a thorough guy.

The Nip-Slip is also into swanky bullshit events, but he digs really deep to find events I’ve never heard of.

I don’t need to tell you what The Booby Blog and The Booty Source are all about. The names kind of give them away.

Celeb Stalker doesn’t make many posts, but the ones he makes are huge – like 900 pics + some vids

  2. I’m glad that you are doing somewhat better! I wanted to give well wishes on the other thread, but it was at 69 comments, and I didn’t feel right changing that.

  3. Stay positive, keep doing what the doc says. We’re glad you’re here, but job one is you.

  5. keep it up!… I’m 67 and mostly switched over to swimming and biking to avoid after market joints

  6. I’ve been dead. It’s not what it’s cracked up to be. Gave me a white beard (at 26…those myths about traumatic events turning your hair white are 100% true) and a bad leg.

    Seriously, try to cut down. Dying just isn’t good for ya.

  9. You should still look into phages. They are fascinating. Basically bacteria and phages have been locked in a never ending battle (well, not ending until the sun expands before burning out) since virus, bacteria, phages and the other microbes somehow came to life on earth (if a virus is alive.)

  11. Good to hear that you’re feeling better! “They” say nothing is more important than your health and I guess like a broken clock, “they” are correct once in a while. Best wishes on your recovery.

  13. This time last year I was 90% sure I was going to lose my brother to liver and kidney failure; he had days at least as awful as what you’ve described. Happily he got a double organ transplant, and now he remembers what it’s like to feel good, after so many years of not. Hoping your ending is just as happy…and that your ultimate ending is epochs away.

  14. It’s great to hear you are feeling better. Probably your athleticism helped pull you through. Take it easy. And yes, the only times I seem too weight are when I get sick. It is VERY hard to appreciate than when you’re sick.

  15. Mate, fantastic and extremely welcome news.

    Btw, congrats on a grand slam, but maybe you can rename it “The Full Hesche”

    Cheers, and keep up the good fight.

    Greg

  16. Good luck Scoopy. I’ve subscribed to your page since you first started and a rest is certainly warranted – you have put in a ton of work in the past.

    Get better soon.
