Had to zoom in to remove others from the photo.

Ok.





After playing drums for a few hours and tossing some back with my buddies,outdoor....hot tub.... in winter.... in Canada...end result.

Just hangin' around......

So I knew I had HIV for a long time, and my CD4 count was down.
I couldn't speak, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything.
My viral load was in the thousands.

Luckily they saved me with one antibiotic.
I had to chew it, I couldn't even swallow.

Then they said it's time - start your medication.
Last year, oh it was so terrible.
The first doses make you trip - and not in a nice way.
But then my CD4 count went from 300 to 750 (normal range)!
The virus became invisible.

Now people are asking me if I'm body-building.
Working out a bit, yeah.
Just keeping fit though.

Glad things are well and promising.


Sorry, that didn't read well.

Glad news is promising and you are well?

Hopefully you know what I mean.

a reply to: halfoldman

Lookin' good. Here's to staying fit!

Thanks, you know so funny how one can move from overweight (I was 78 kgs) to underweight (67 kgs).
Drive everyone around you crazy and find the right clothes.
In a year.
At first it feels good because you're losing weight.

But then you see a skull forming in the mirror, and it's wtf?

And thinking: just one generation before me, they knew they would die.
There was no help, no treatment.
A year maybe, I could have lingered.
How lucky I am.

The gathering of railfans at Russell, Kentucky chasing a friend of mine running his last train after he came in the yard and officially retired yesterday afternoon. I'm the one with video camera on a tripod in front.

Nice one brothers.

My sister tells me, has anybody told you how thin you are getting?

Nope, I forgot.

Been a long time since an update on this thread.

But I must celebrate new ganja legislation in SA.

Everybody over 18 can now use the right to privacy as a defence.
So many nights between cement blocks and metal bars for nothing.
Freedom is coming tomorrow!

Wishing everybody a great week.

It has been weeks now, where you all?

For Shamrock.

Seeing as he asked nicely.

Eh, I'm pretty average really.

Your turn to post a pic.

Shamrock next!!! I demand it.

a reply to: Hazardous1408

Hmm...I`ve never posted one here, lol.
Need to log off and forage for food...if I`m feeling brave in the morning I`ll post one.
(or if Shamrock double dares me)

That's even more ginger-ey than I thought it was going to be...

PS Jacy's avatar is actually a selfie

As some might notice, I have a bug crawling on my forehead.

No, they did not re-open the bathhouses.

It is indeed a Praying Mantis.

Seen as holy by some indigenous tribes here, and quite a blessing.

I must be quite honest though, it's the only insect to ever look me in the eyes.
Quite bizarre.

me is..yes, the one on the right.

i mean right..in the way the way you write english..you start from left and end in right..so in that sense.
