Friday i over did it at church. I cut grass for five hours and when I got off the mower, I couldn't straighten up right away. I hobbled around trying to get things going again but have had problems all weekend. It doesn't hurt to walk, but sitting or bending is a pain. I even have trouble getting in and out of the car. Did this stop me from playing golf?Joenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315990.post-1148037207584178612006-05-19T04:04:00.000-07:002006-05-19T04:13:27.620-07:00Mans understanding of women Top Ten Things Men Understand About Women 1. 2. 3. 4. 5 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
