Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for February 20, 2025

and something to stuff that ol’ hag’s mouth with

Does anyone remember the episode of M*A*S*H where Margaret got married and, as a joke, Hawkeye and BJ put her bridegroom in a full-body cast just before the ceremony? Well, Adam might have the same fate!

More than his back should be locked up.

Having several degenerating disks, I can sympathize, but it’s regular and aggressive PT based exercise that keeps it, at least mine, under control. Strengthen your core, Adam, and your back will thank you for it.

Aside from the back, he’s staying away from those two bratty kids of his.

Oh, dear, Adam, that’s not good.

I hope he tips well for the space he’s taking

Adam should have a nice desk at home, with a comfortable, supportive chair, and a desktop computer with a nice keyboard. One time I wrote an assignment in a coffee shop, just to say I did it. I liked my two monitors, one for writing, the other for photos or research.

He’s gone from a dependable customer to dependent.

Cortisone shot… now…

Yeah. Not only painful, but limiting.

I f there are no medical/physical problems then it is time to strengthen your core, a strong core means no backaches.

Just put Adam in an assisted living facility or daycare and be done with it.

As to Adam going to the coffee place so often – When my husband quit his job about a couple of decades ago, one of the rules I made in order to get me to agree was “We will not eat lunch out every day at Wendys.” This is something we did while he was working when he was on vacation. He agreed to the rule.

I mention it as similar to my husband not wanting to sit around at home all the time – wanting to go out and do simple things such as eating lunch out, walk around one or more of the 4 local Walmarts (2 within walking distance) or the ones a bit further away since he quit his job.

(Before Covid we had gotten to the point that we were eating lunch at Wendys every day and a couple of days a week dinner also. Once Covid hit we stopped eating out for a year plus and then returned to eating out but only 3 days max a week – at that same Wendys!)
