Another Star on Sons O' Guns

[Timothy]

What? You don't like blood in your urine?   

I was watching one of the biker build offs on the tube a few years ago and Billy "whoever", bike builder was riding his build in the rain at about 80 mph when he hit a two or three inch expansion joint on the freeway.  It damn near tossed him over the handlebars.

Choppers look nice, sound nice, go fast, stop well (if done properly) but they ride like crap, turn for crap, handle for crap and can be pretty nasty in the hands of the wrong dumb ass!

I have kidney stones disease Peg, blood in my urine is something I dread!

I think it was Billy Lane from Melbourne, Fl.


**As to the kidney stones, have you ever took Alopurinol (gout medicine)? It also works well at preventing stones.

Yea, it's was Lane I think...

No but I haven't had an attack in four years now.  It was getting to be a yearly visit for the lithotripsy procedure!

I know we've been bitch slapped on this thread already, but I have reached the age that medical conditions enter every conversation.

My last hospital visit for kidney stone, I grow the stag horn variety, I received the best advice ever, and it has worked for nearly 13 years!  One of my nurses looked at my chart and saw kidney stones and gall bladder.  She then said that she had had kidney stones, gallbladder attacks and a child.  Then she stated that kidney stones were the worst.  Her advice - "If there is any color to your urine you are not drinking enough water."  Ever since I stay on top of the water.

My stones are a gout thing, and I have learned that if I want to eat steak, or any other beef or tuna, I can counter act and avoid the following pain by flushing my system with plenty of water for a couple days.

Roger that M58....water is the key for me as well.  I avoid dark colas as well...

Seeing as how we've completely hi-jacked this thread   ...... kidney stones have run in my family for several generations. My doc told me the main reason I have not had any problems (knock on wood) is the fact that I've been on Alopurinol for gout (and lots of water helps too). The alopurinol kills two birds with one shot for me.......... If the SHTF and lasts long enough for me to run out of the stuff, looters beware because I will be one irritated SOB without it.......... I won't be very mobile, but I will be ill-tempered.


I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.


OBTW, I like the Sons of Guns show.  

[Pathfinder]

Screw Sons O'Guns, let's talk old fart diseases!!!! 

I take allopurinol (I too am prone to gout) AND furosimide aka Lasix, the crap they used to give race horses to pee themselves dry right before a race. The only time my pee is any color is first thing in the morning, otherwise with all of the fluids I drink it is damn near clear! I drink tons of lemonade (homemade with lemon juice and filtered water) and some dark colas first thing for caffeine. No stones (gall bladder got removed already) but for the first few hours after I take furosimide, I cannot venture too far from a bathroom. Got me off jury duty though . . . . . 

[Timothy]

Ain't about old farts Path....I've had stones for about 10 years, maybe more!

Most everything else still works though...

OK...OK...ENOUGH WITH THE KIDNEYS.  LET'S TALK NEUROPATHY AND MACULAR DEGENERATION.

Well, actually no.  Let us talk about how many people are being mainstreamed in their thinking by Sons Of Guns .

I think that the show is doing a lot of good with non-shooters and "part time" shooters who had no idea supressors and machine guns are legally out there as wells as it is fun to shoot AK's and AR's and it doesn't make you weird.
