I got another job rejection today, and I know why. Because I'm myself. I don't pretend. I don't pull punches about what I see as necessary improvements in an organization, but they don't want to change. Then I don't get a job.
Of course, the guy they hire won't make any changes then he'll get fired for not improving anything or the place will die off. Whatever.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.

I feel you. Hurt my back lifting Tank track, May 16th 1985. Still hurts.

Took a fall of a roof and got a compression fracture of T7 in the late 1980's. Was in a brace for 9 months and my back still bothers me. i found a fix though. I do "flys" with dumbells in my workout. I lay face up on a bench, take a 15 or 20 lb dumbell in each hand and press the weights straight up. I then lower the weights to each side keeping my elbows locked. I bring the dumbells down and back up 20 times focusing on using my chest. When I sit up after the last rep I can feel my back snapping into place. A strong chest will support a weak back. i do crunches for the same reason.

I hate people who find it necessary to come over and inform me how bad tobacco is for you and that it kills.
But my wife giggled when I told them, "Stupidity kills, but yet you're still alive."
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
