May 4, 2018 by David Gillaspie

What To Do If You Start Looking Like W.C. Fields? Make an appointment with Dr. MolePDX and the Ellman Surgitron. Like most baby boomers I see new things when I look in the mirror. Some things are better than others. One in particular was troublesome. What do you do when you […]

BICYCLE DAY FOLLOWED BY 420? CALL A DOCTOR, STAT

April 20, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Call a doctor and ask about the medical qualities of acid and weed. Maybe your doc has some non-medical experience to share, but probably won’t. If your medical provider isn’t in the loop, boomerpdx will shine some light. No, not crack the sky light from the heavens above with a big voice […]

GYM MEMORIAL FOR BOOMERS

April 17, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The first thing you notice in a new gym is the pecking order. Strong guys group together. Old guys over there. Young men pumping out the reps. Ladies all over the place on every piece of equipment. Women have the gym all figured out. Guys not so much. Over time a few […]

BREAST CANCER: A MOTHER JONES FACEBOOK POST ASKS IF ALCOHOL IS A CAUSE. WHAT ARE OTHER CANCER CAUSES?

April 12, 2018 by David Gillaspie

From motherjones.com: Susan Sontag once wrote that telling people about your cancer diagnosis tends to fill them with mortal dread. But when I’ve disclosed my illness to friends and told them that alcohol can cause breast cancer, I’ve never invoked enough mortal dread to deter anyone from ordering a second drink. Most women […]

AR15 PURCHASE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ASKING

April 9, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The Washington Post ran an nice piece about a guy buying his first AR15. He’d wanted one for years and finally the day came. Money, motivation, and gun show all came together for him. The WaPo research seems pretty good, even with a tag of fake news thrown around. The […]

AUTHORITARIAN PARENT? WHAT OTHER KIND IS THERE

April 4, 2018 by David Gillaspie

A scene from the movie Vision Quest shows Louden Swain’s buddy Kuch at home with his dad. Instead of a bonding moment of shared struggle, the dad slaps Kuch around, telling him he’ll never be nothing. Nothing. Wrestling might make him feel like a big shot, but he’ll still be nothing. […]

LIFE STAGES WITH ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS

April 3, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Instead of death and dying, use the same grief progression for living and life stages. It fits just as well, after all no one said life was easy. Sometimes living is a downer until we find something to live for. Life stages go beyond the chronographic scale, like the Terrible Twenties, the […]

MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR A DOSE OF CANCER

April 2, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Medical marijuana? Isn’t that just an excuse to get loaded without consequences, like jail? That’s what Pat thinks. I caught a rather painful case of cancer and tried one oxy pill, and one nip of liquid oxy, which changed nothing. Why would marijuana be different? At a desperate moment I tried […]

GUN SAFETY TEEN TALK 2018, WHAT TO SAY

March 30, 2018 by David Gillaspie

What can you tell teens about guns that they haven’t already heard? Don’t worry about embarrassing yourself by repeating an old message like, “Don’t shoot anyone.” If you’re a certain age there’s little to do that won’t make you an embarrassment. It may feel like you’re speaking a foreign language. So what is the right […]
