I still don't see anything wrong with your neck-- am I missing something? These trolls don't deserve any merit. Let them melt in their own misery.

My neck looks far worse than yours and I'm only 50. I also don't get the appeal of Doyle's books. I've read two and won't read any more. Anyway, keep sticking your neck out. The girls need you!!

the books are so bad. warmed over "feminist" tag lines from 15 years ago. You go girl commercial feminism. no insight. written for 12 year olds. blecht.

Looks to me like your neck is holding up your very smart head just fine. And yes, I second Brett’s comment that they’re just jealous of your spine.

You look wonderful! You're healthy and a super role model. When you get a little older--I'm pushing 70 soon--you'll accept the wrinkles and be grateful if your knees are still your own. The trans trolls are the worst, because they put so much work into "appearing female" that they have to put down others for narcissistic fuel. I suggest you simply reply "Demonstration of Narcissistic Fuel" to those comments. One of the most hilarious comments I get on my channel, where I profile trans widows (women who divorced covertly crossdressing men after the discovery) goes like the strange projection that it is--they tell me I wasn't "enough of a woman" to keep my husband. Well the fantasies I discovered in his crossdressing diaries involved wanting a man to lust over him like in the bodice-ripper romances. Keep on pluckin' Jennifer!

Well I'm certain my hips won't be my own at 70, putting off hip replacements now! But that's ok. If I can still do my walks i'll be happy! Good idea!

Please consider Feldenkrais physical therapy before you do replacements! You might be able to put it off a few years~

i am putting off as long as possible. hoping never necessary! gymnastics beat up my body pretty good, though.

Oh yes!! Feldenkrais is amazing. You don’t think much is happening at the time because it is so subtle, and then you discover yourself feeling so much better.

Always appreciate your transparency and I’m definitely not looking up neck banding!

The main reason not to is first thing that pops is all sorts of serious health conditions. Turns out its just aging, also a serious health condition.

Miss you, Dominic.

If all people have to diss you with is your neck, you’re winning. Social media has made it possible for those people who would never say “boo” to you on the street to sit behind a keyboard and anonymously snipe away.

Hip replacements aren’t that bad. I’ve got two and still do my powerlifting. Still, it’s best to put it off as long as possible.
