I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

Peter, hang in there and take care of yourself! Night sift work is tough on your body. I used to have to work it when I worked as a nurse (7PM-7AM). I had a hard time sleeping during the day because my children were young and because of the light. That's the main reason I "retired" temporarily. I will be going back to nursing very soon now that my kids are older. Buy some room darkening shades and invest in some silicone earplugs.
Good luck finding a new job. My husband works in the labile electronics/telecommunications business so he has been through 2 layoffs. Each time he ended up getting a better job with better pay. Something better is out there waiting for you! Hang in there!
