Macular Degeneration isn't diabetes related it's more age-related

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration
It causes you to lose vision in the center of your field of view, my mother has had it for 25 years, she was diagnosed at age 59 and her ophthalmologist told her " If there's anything you want to see in this world, do it now."
This is a version of what she sees, hers is worse than this though. she can only see a little bit around the edges.

There is no treatment as of right now but I was diagnosed a bit earlier than she was, I just have to take a vitamin formula that has been shown to slow the degeneration down a bit, but good news there's an experimental stem-cell treatment that's being tested now and my mom is going to be part of that study, all they promise is the treatment won't make her worse and the tests have shown that it may actually make it better.

I told her to not fuck things up for me. :winkwink:

So I have a little bit of hope that I won't end up dependent like she is.

7 back tires in 30k miles... wtf do you think? :winkwink:

I love it when people call me names.

So let's update your statement.... You call Mark a pussy because he chooses not to ride a motorcycle. Being as you choose to ride a motorcycle.... what does that make you?

This seems to be a thread about someone calling himself a pussy. (But you are right, a trike is not a motorcycle.)

I'm sorry, but I just find this so funny. You call Mark a pussy because he decides not to ride a motorcycle, yet here you are telling us you choose not to ride a motorcycle. I had a motorcycle, I choose not to ride; Does that make me a pussy? Does that make all men who decide not to ride a motorcycle a pussy? Is a riding a motorcycle a requirement for being a man?

rochard, you're not being taken seriously. i call ********** a pussy because he's a troll and i troll him back, the simple fact you're too obtuse to have realized that after a year of my pointing out his trolling is another example of why you aren't taken seriously.


and don't fucking update my statement that ********** chooses wtfever, you nitwit, if you want to make a fucking point about something i've stated here, then have the fucking balls to search it down and fucking quote here, don't make shit up just to try and support your bullshit because that's not at all what i stated.

LOL, yeah they go quick, last tire cost me $340, maybe had 9k on it.

gotcha.

i think you need a tire changing station in your garage!

To those with diabetes in this thread:

Is your condition caused by current or past poor diet and exercise or something else? Genetics?

I generally hear diabetes as a problem for thos e that are overweight with poor diet. that's why im asking. Not to be a smart ass.

i have type 1, it is an autoimmune disease. easy version: my immune system attacked my pancreas and killed it. :error

medical science doesn't yet understand why this happens. it is not weight related or diet related and there isn't any real proof of a genetic link. type 2 diabetes is not autoimmune, i am not as familiar with it.


oh yeah, and people like whp attribute type 1 to vaccines.

Went with the Metzler 888s this time around, 6k on the back and looks barely half gone :thumbsup

Working on getting the garage as we speak, right now I have an apt near the beach overlooking PCH, waiting to hear about a place up the road a bit that has a garage.

For me it was kind of inevitable, both my parents diagnosed type II later in life and at least one aunt who's a lifelong type I (and 91 years old and still living alone and driving her car every day) I didn't help my odds by carrying an extra 25-30 pounds around for most of my life. Combination of extra weight and a genetic predisposition.

I know you've got room in your garage for a tire station, what's up?!

Rochard, i expected this thread to have your annoying attention whoring mug in a picture, i am dissapoint :(

Are there meds you can take? Maybe a beta blocker would help the effects of adrenaline.

Daughter is staying with me right now. I don't change tires. There is a great place down the street called MCtires and they change your tire fast and pretty cheap. I like them because I roll in without a reservation and roll out with bright white white walls. They replace the rubber strip and tubes and I never have a problem. They've been there for decades.

Besides, looking at getting a MC Table lift! Maybe I'll give you a call when I'm doing some fun stuff on the bikes and you can come out and get your hands dirty?

I am sorry you have medical issues, and sorry you are unable to ride.

I used to ride motorcycles daily, and the day I bought my Mustang Cobra was the last day I rode. Not sure why, six months later I sold my bike and I have no desire to ride again.

Good luck with your health.

I am sorry to disappoint you. I haven't taken any selfies recently.

that's a nice thing to write Rochard and I appreciate it. I know you like to troll a bit here and that's why i fuck with you the way i do. no hard feelings. but no need to be sorry for me, we all have issues of some kind. drive whatcha brung is my view on that and that usually makes for more fun anyways.

i'm figuring i'll knock it off with the trolling the trolls btw.

holler at me, i'll stand around and make distracting suggestions, you know, like "you really want to take that off that way?" or "here, a crescent wrench will work on that."

:1orglaugh:pimp

LOL, I think I have about 8 crescent wrenches hanging on the wall, don't use them very often. I have been buying some more metric stuff for the bikes. I'll let you know when I'm going to something major and fun!

Dynamo.

What is it about me that you love so much? Do you dream about me 24/7? I'm seriously think you are some kind of stalker.

I didn't say you were full of shit for not riding because of your diabetes. I said

A little later on in the same thread, https://gfy.com/20478881-post100.html I said

So yet again, you are LYING TO EVERYONE ON GFY.

(For those curious, Watch Dynamo lose his shit here https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...light=diabetes )

I also said this AFTER you called me a Pussy that could never ride motor cycles in the first place, and AFTER you started fights with several others in the same thread.

You said you were riding for 32 years. That puts you near around 50 years old, right? Isn't it time you grew up?

That is word for word text found on this Wikipedia page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasovagal_response

Why didn't you just link to it? Why did you try to make it seem like this text was part of your rant?

Dynamo if you have this disease then that's too bad. Trying to LIE to drum up sympathy to ease your butthurt for covering up other lies is not cool.

And since you have engaged me in spirited conversation, let me ask you this: What do you do in the adult industry anyway?

**********, you left out a few of your posts around the one post you edited to fit into to your narrative here.

here's those ones you missed

"**********ss"? Really? I don't have a V8 anymore and haven't since June 2014. I have never owned a car with a HEMI engine.

Your CHOOSE not to ride, and you demand to be accepted for who you are. I choose not to ride, and you call me a pussy. Lol!

A Trike is definitely a motorcycle. If you really like the open road and wind in your hair and roar of the engine etc but were afraid to ride, you would get a Trike wouldn't you? Why not? Is a Trike not "manly" enough for you? Does the number of wheels on your bike define who you are as a man somehow? It wouldn't define me at all. So now who's the pussy again?


These are cool. One of my neighbours has a couple of these. Would love to try one one day.

**********, the guy who expects us all to change our lives to suit his world.

What do you do in the adult industry, Dynamo?

**********, you wanted to know what my medical condition was, i took the time to explain it to you in this thread. you are not very appreciative of my sharing knowledge with you.

No I didn't. You already said you had diabetes in another thread, which I had already addressed in that other thread too. You're the one who brought it up again in this thread for no reason at all.

So what do you do in the adult industry, Dynamo? How do you make your money in adult?

fyi brainiac, i didn't talk shit about trikes, i simply said they are not motorcycles. and you can keep dreaming up shit as to why i like bikes.

And also why does me choosing not to ride motorcycles make me a pussy, but you choosing not to ride not make you a pussy?

You don't want to ride because you might die.

I don't want to ride because I might die.

What's the difference exactly?

this is a funny place

you might want to reacquaint yourself with your previous posts, i quoted them above.

i had plenty of reasons to start this thread.

You CHOOSE not to ride motorcycles, something that you love, because your medicine condition might cause you to have an accident if you get an adrenaline rush. That's too bad.

So why not ride Trikes instead? Wouldn't you keep your adrenaline lower, especially if you ease off the accelerator a little, and be able to enjoy doing something that you love?

Or, is this all just more Dynamo bullshit?

Uh huh.

What do you do in the adult industry, Dynamo?

are you really this dense? you and i look for opportunities to fuckin snub each other. i've suggested 2x+ for both of us to knock it off, you declined those offers by telling me fuck this or that.

calling someone a pussy is 3rd grader shit **********, you don't get that? that's because you think like a 3rd grader. the reason i do that is because it's the only shit that gets through to you. you actually think there is a definition of pussy based on riding a motorcycle? :1orglaugh

No - you called Rochard a Fuckwad for suggesting Trikes, that's all, right?


You had grown up and stopped fighting with me, but you lost your shit and started all over again in this thread.

Why are you avoiding the questions now? Feeling backed into a corner again?

I repeat:

#1. Why did you call me a pussy for choosing not to ride motorcycles, when you yourself choose not to ride motorcycles?

#2. What do you do in the adult industry?

wait, what? so i'm making this up because i don't ride a trike? wtf.

#1. Why did you call me a pussy for choosing not to ride motorcycles, when you yourself choose not to ride motorcycles?

#2. What do you do in the adult industry?

No, I am asking you a serious question. If you have too much adrenaline when you ride a motor cycle, and you might die from it, wouldn't a Tricycle be a good solution for you?

typical dyna mo thread :2 cents:

so you ask serious questions, then end the post with "or is this more dyna mo bullshit?"


right. go figure.

typical directfiesta drive-by.:2 cents:

I get it. You're backed into a corner for shit you started, and you won't admit it to anyone here, or to yourself.

I'll break it down for you old friend. You went out of your way in that other thread to call me a pussy for no reason. In fact, you called me a pussy for making the exact same decision as you did. You can't admit it. You can't be a man and apologize. I get it.

I asked you what - 5 times now - what you do in adult to justify your corner of GFY. You can't. I think its because you do nothing at all.

You can't answer these questions the same way you can't tell the truth to people here, the same way you can't admit when you're wrong, and the same way as when you are caught.

A part of any health discussion or argument, is being able to make your point of course, but then admitting when you're wrong. You can't.

You are shit.

Peace.

I apologize for calling you a pussy for not being able to ride a bike **********.
