Happy belated birthday Eric! It actually sounds like it was the perfect celebration 🎉

*True Crime* going "off the rails" oh no! I need to watch the latest episode and judge for myself 🥶 I'm glad Sheila goaded you into posting today, good one Sheils!

I kept checking like “Five alive?!?” I am a Five junky & I am not ashamed to admit it! Plus I had just read the Mosquito Coast piece and was really thirsty for more! ♥️

I too have the fever for the flavor of The Fiver!

I'm still enjoying True Detective but it's getting weird and not in a good way.

"Indiana Jones and the Land of Too Many Sequels".

I'm with you on Crusade topping Raiders in all the ways you described. As a son who has a father that one resonates with me. I'm also with you on being careful while running to the toilet, hence the reason I walk unless I feel like I can't.

I've had a theory for a while that humans aren't meant to live past 40. When you reach the age where you hurt yourself getting out of bed or just moving wrong, every day you're above ground is a day you're spitting in the face of death.

I had a birthday last week, got a belated present this week with what I feel is the true marker of moving from my early 40's to my mid 40's; a colonoscopy.

I scheduled my colonoscopy last week 👴🏻

Thanks, you too!

Honestly it's not as bad as people say. Literally the best nap I've had in a long time.

Happy! Happy Birthday!!! I hope there were more cookies and maybe some funky custom D/D die with like your face on them ? 🤷🏽‍♀️ This was a GREAT Five! I regret nothing AND am happy to know I have so much power over you! I’m sure this will come in handy when the grid collapses & I need a place to ride out the end of the world. I see your middle-age injury and raise you “it hurts my right knee to walk up & down stairs.” This would be my Native American name I think. I won’t say I spent most of the morning last Sunday watching YouTube videos on how to do stairs with knee pain, but I won’t not say that neither! Onward! ❤️
