I always thought "old people" were full of shit when they said...
this humidity is really making my joints ache, I have finally come to realize that one of the following must be true:

1. They were telling the truth
2. I am now old and full of shit

Either way, my knee hurts like hell and I am not at all happy about it :grr:

1. I doubt air humidity is the direct cause.
It's probably electrostatic or temperature related. Other than that, no, I never had reason to doubt the patterns of this kind of pains.

2. It's a good thing you came around.
I didn't wanna have to beat you upside the head with my cane. :evilgrin:

Before they put me on Remicade, I could tell you it was gonna rain 24 hours in advance by the way my bones felt. I knew what the weather was like outside before I even opened my eyes in the morning.

3. Sorry for your epiphany.
Happens to the best of us. Takes me abut twenty minutes to walk straight up after I get up in the morning.

4. I am old and full of shit.
I hurt because we have been humid for a week and a half.

5. I will be 61 in August, and I hurt in all kinds of places
I never dreamed of. For what cause or reason, I don't know.

I have a very hard time with humidity and heat, and since it will be 95 here and humid as it can possibly be, I'm taking an easy day, even in retirement. Just glad I don't have to work anymore.
