This is totally off-topic but I thought I would share something that i have come to realize. My body has started experiencing lots of aches and pains and not just joint pain. I get sore throats during the winter big time. The one thing I found that helps cure my aches and pains more than anything is water. Just straight up ice water. Well, I guess you don’t really have to have ice.
I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee recently and was making great progress in recovery. Then one night while photographing a debutante ball I realized that I was pretty thirsty. My knee hurt so bad that I could hardly walk. My wife had to help me to the car when the work was done. I drank lots and lots of water that night and again the next day. It has been much better since then. I swear water helps even a sore throat better than any lozenge or spray.
So drink up! I hope this will help someone in some way.

PS: When you can sweat out some more, the combo works.

Yes, excessive salivation will dehydrate you very quickly. ;)

Kermit... I think you may have a "Horney Toad" gene in your pool.

You can always...:ass: someone. But that would be like :deadhorse:
Or you could :kick:... But that could be hurtful.
I guess this just isn't FaceBook...:stir:

When I first started photographing debutante balls 35 years ago the debutantes looked pretty good to me. Then the Debutantes started looking really young and the moms started looking good. Now the grandmothers are looking pretty good.

Ah ha.... yeah, me too, too funny but too sad.

You know many times I like things that are...
1) Smart
2) A benefit to me and others
3) New information
4) Profound
5) To show agreement without comment.
But for you @Kermit I have liked your
HUMOR
Most of all.
Jim...

What gives here? It's a well known fact that frogs do not drink water!
Some guys will do anything for a 'like'....
Cheers Kermit
