The Original Old Farts Club

[Hippie420]

I can still remember my home phone number from when I was old enough to walk 'til I was five. Had to know it before the parents would let me out of the yard. It started with CE.

Quick question for the Old Fart Brain Trust; How do you get the residual glue from surgical tape off your hide? Tried soap and water. Not even. Tried alcohol with the same results. Fingernail polish remover (acetone). Nope. The Old Hen read where Vaseline left to set for 10 minutes would work. Nope. Finally wound up taking a Buck knife and scraping the big spots off, but still not good. Any help?

Burn it off.....ha ha.

 

[pute]

On a serious note, try lighter fluid or finger nail polish remover.

yes i do ! by the time your hair grows 4 inches more it will wear off ( some time mid year 2023)

 

[Hippie420]

Tried the fingernail polish remover. No help. I've got a couple of gallons of straight acetone and might try that. Never thought about napha (lighter fluid). Thanks for the suggestion!

I always used hot water and dish soap on a rag.
I think baby oil works too.

SERUTAN Because Nature's Way Is Best

And Grandma's Lye Soap

So tell the story of Grandma's Lye Soap
Good for anything that's in the home...

And the sekrit is in the scrubbing:
It doesn't suds, and it doesn't foam!

Little Herman and Brother Therman
Had an aversion to washin' their ears,

So Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap,
And they haven't heard a word in years!


It goes on...

 

[joeb631a]

That glue is tougher than crazy glue I had that on me End of June and its now gone .
You need to wash that part of you that has the glue as vigorously as you wash other parts .....

Call and raise alla youse:

WE had a phone (us kids were never to touch!) It was made of oak, and had a crank. Our place was three rings.

We got a new fangled phone. You picked it up, and a lady said, "Numbah puleeze". Our new fangled phone number was BAldwin 3-4113-J. This one we could touch.

WD-40 does the job...I use it to remove bandaids from my arms or I remove skin with it...

Goo gone will work but you need to clean it off quick don’t let it seep in your skin

Can't. I was instructed on several occasions not to scrub anything. They said to let the water hit it and to blot it only. Stitches from the drain tube haven't fallen out yet, either. Got to go back to the surgeon Thursday. I've made a list of things to ask about, first of which is how I wean myself off of the heart meds.
In the meantime, I'm thinking about having my first beer since the 18th of October.

NO! Your alcohol consuming days are over.

Alcohol and caffeine are triggers for A-fib.

Do you want all you went through to be for absolutely fargin NOTHING? Help yourself to a coupla beers. Start your morning with coffee, while you are at it.

Lemme tellya where yer at (feel free to check it with your doc) -- You now have a weakness for going A-fib. The prescriptions you get will -- if you are fortunate -- keep that weakness from coming to the fore again.

Accept this truth: You will never go back to what you used to think of as "normal". Well, you can go back, but you will go down, too. A coupla beers (one), coffee, tea... are now off your list of edibles.

Mebbe your bod useta be the equivalent of a trail bike; bustin' hills, powering through mud, etc. Now it is a big red road machine with windscreen, radio, foot rests, and cruise control. It cannot go off-road like the trail bike.

Treat your newly-acquired bike-bod properly. Or it will fail you quickly.

Walt. Hippie had part of his lung removed and had an AFib episode. Not sure his AFib is permanent.
I have AFib but my Thyroid meds has kept it at bay for along time now.
I drink beer everyday with no problems what so ever. But,,,If i drink hard liquor I'm asking for trouble.

People say I have a drinking problem......funny thing.....I have no problem drinking at all. If I had a choice to either die or stop drinking and smoking pot.....I just thought about that for a few minutes.......I will have to get back to you on that in a couple of years.
