When I was young I don't think many families could afford the luxury of having their own camera. It was normal to visit a photographer and have your family photos taken in their studio . And so it was, I was forced to wear my Sailor's suit and assume the classic pose
I don't know what happened but somehow I have stressed my right arm. It hurts for no reason and sometime it just throbs, so today it will just be this one photo. Clicking the mouse or using the touch pad aggravates it so I've been trying to keep my computer work down to a minimum.
This started about a week ago and I've been trying to figure out what I did. Perhaps it was the night I installed my snow tires, I haven't figured it out but in the meantime I've been taking Belgium dark chocolate to ease the pain. Hopefully it will be back to normal soon .
Dear Bobscoot:
ReplyDeleteThe draft age in Canada must be lower than here in the States... But I think you did the right thing in choosing the navy over the infantry. Hope your arm feels better soon.

What a little cutie you were!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a quick recovery with your arm!
What a great picture! I am sure you did a wonderful job in the Navy. I hope your arm gets better very soon.
ReplyDeleteLook at that little smile!! So cute.
ReplyDeleteBelgian chocolates are a great pain killer. You might think about ice and heat in addition. Hope you feel better soon.
I know...it is your saluting arm. You stressed it that way. :)

ReplyDeleteso, you aspired then to be a squid eh? (no, not the idiots on crotch rockets, squids is what the Army and Marines call sailors)
hope your arm gets better soon, sounds like a pinched nerve to me....

ReplyDeleteNice photo, your expression doesn't seem to have changed much over the years.
Hope you figure out what is with your right arm. Too much mousing and shutter clicking....

Although Belgium dark chocolate will curer just about anything, I recommend giant malted milk balls, they are whey better.
ReplyDeleteLove the old photos. I have recently had reason to scan a bunch of old photos, They bring back many memories.
Geez, bobskoot, you have free health care! Get it looked at!!! I'd still have toes on my right foot if I were living in Canada...

See Bob, all your so-called friends have been very generous in their comments and I'll be similarly generous - you really were a cutie pie :-). Now stop this whining about your arm - there is no need to attract the sympathy vote although I suppose it will prevent you from posting any more old pics for a few days ;-).
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, the ones you've posted so far have been wonderful!
I love this photo Bob. What a treasure!

ReplyDeletethank you all for your kind comments. I wasn't sure I was going to post this but in the end, I did.
Just goes to prove that I once did have hair.
I don't have a lot of photos from the early days but I did purchase my first Nikon FTN in the early 70's and have been carrying a camera since.
I also don't have many bike photos even though I have owned over 14 bikes since the 60's, and as the one whom takes photos I am usually the one missing
The Navy? Well that explains the pink crocs.
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to add to BeemerGirl's prescription that the ice should be wrapped in a large glass of single malt scotch. It probably won't make your arm feel any better, but at least you won't care as much.
Get well soon.
I know I razz you a lot. And I'm not sorry for it. But this time, I'm serious.
ReplyDeleteHope the arm gets better soon!
By the way, of cup of dark chololate cocoa has more of a healing effect with a bit of spirits splashed in. For medicinal purposes only, of course. And no riding.
See how I broke the grammar rules for you and started sentences with words like and and but? Means I kinda of like you!
You've hurt our arm again!!...Was it the strain of prizing open your wallet at work to buy a round of coffees....lol
ReplyDeleteGet better soon soon,
Dave & Linda
Those laser skin treatments you were talking about must really have worked. You look so young... Nice old photo, sorry about the arm.

hope you're doing better bob!
ReplyDeleteAdding creme de cocoa and kalua to your prescription list will likely accelerate healing ... or make it less uncomfortable at least. -:)
