My wife and I are both up in our 60's and have the joint pain to go along with it. We have also both had back surgery. To ease the pain she takes hydrocodine which doesn't seem to help me at all. On the other hand I can drink some rum and coke to make my day move comfortable. We both use pain medica...

Texas Ranger badges
I was watching a TV show where a U.S. Marshal goes to Mexico and talks to a Mexican National Policeman. The Policeman scoffs at the Marshall's badge saying a real man has a Texas Ranger's badge because it is made from a Mexican silver coin. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that ?

Re: shoulder replacement
I had mine replaced in 2017. I've never shot a lot of heavy recoiling long guns and none since the surgery. If the pain gets bad enough you'll have it done. The recovery time was only a mater of weeks compared to the discomfort I had prior to that. If I needed to do it again I wouldn't hesitate.

In the V.A. cemetery they generally ask you if you want to be buried with your spouse. If you do you'll have the one that passes first buried down deeper and the second one on top. All that would depend on the cemetery policy as to what they will let you do.
