  1. Working with the bosses son was like being a babysitter and a damage control specialist at the same time.
  2. Beautiful wagon! I just scored one in the same Aquamarine Blue color. I can only hope I'll do it justice.
  3. Vacation hasn't been in my vocabulary for quite some time either, but I still daydream of it happening, but I've got the feeling it won't be anything soon.
  4. Cool Sean, I'll be wanting two cherry and one peach pie please..😁
  5. Systems, all a go, yelled the chimp astronaut in a chimpanzee dialect, but unfortunately no one at the mission control center knew what he was saying, so the spacecraft just sat there.
  6. Thank you Nathan.. the test was a success and tomorrow we go back to get his results.
  7. Dang good idea, if you were staying. I like to say, Not my circus, not my monkeys...
  8. Finally they hit a vein and the test begins. Now for the 3 hour wait..
  9. My brother's health issues.. This is an on going daily scare for me and of course for him also. Dave's 71 and way over weight, 225 lbs. and boarder line Diabetic. He has COPD, His right carotid artery is completely blocked and the left one is at 15% blockage. He has a small cyst on one of his kidneys which we are told is not an important issue at the moment. Approximately two years ago he had his gallbladder removed because it was full of sludge. Since it's been removed he's been experiencing issues affiliated with that procedure such as abdominal pain and digestive related problems. He gets out of breath just taking a shower or walking more than 10 feet. He has a lump on his right breast area that's tender and is scheduled to have an ultra sound this week. Today he has a nuclear Induced stress test and so far they've tried four times to hit a vein without any luck. This is the second time we've gone through attempting this procedure with the same results of not being able to hit a vein. So I sit hear in the doctors office and wait for hopefully good news that the IV is in and the test can move forward but its not looking likely. They have him drinking water so he can be hydrated which is causing him to have to urinate frequently. To top things off the doctors office bathroom is out of order so until they're successful in hitting a vein he has to walk a decent distance to use the facilities down the hall. All I can think of sitting here is first loosing Mom and then Dad and now the possibility of my brother. This sucks, but it is what is is. We are all born and one day we will all die.
  10. We've been residents of our single dwelling home for 30 years, it's a HOA community with an increasing number of Hud homes over the past 10 years. Our police dept is great, but unfortunately their hands are tied for reasons that I shall refrain from mentioning..🤫 I've been thinking hard as how we the community can rid of the encampment legally. One thought is to contact the environment protection dept since there is a natural flowing stream running through the encampment. The last time I went back to take a look see I was horrified at the amount of trash thrown about the area. Maybe even contacting PETA, I'm sure the encampment is hindering the animal population from using the area and driving them from their natural habitat. At this point whatever it takes, I'm game. 🤔°°continual night time raids with loud banging on pots and pans?
  11. At least your degenerate side of society is being housed in a motel. The group we have, is living in an encampment in a wooded area just 1/8 of a mile behind the neighborhood where my wife and I own a home that she's been residing at since I moved into my Dad's house 3 yrs ago to care for him till his passing. Four days ago I received a frantic phone call from an elderly single lady who lives two doors up, telling me that a crazed male wearing a ski mask was on her back deck and had thrown a potted plant at her window and then proceeded to violently beat her back door with one of her porch chairs. She turned on the spot light and he fled the scene running through the other neighbor and our backyard. He then passed a neighbor who happened to be outside at the time and she saw him run into that wooded area. When the police arrived they searched the area and lifted finger prints from the potted planter. No info as of yet pertaining to the ID of the perpetrator. To top all this off, we found out that our health dept which is located just up the hill from the encampment has been supplying the encampment with tents and supplies. How nice.. Since the presence of this encampment we've had a rash of small items missing from outside of multiple homes in the neighborhood. This attempted break in is a new issue that has evolved. 😡
  12. From the depths of my feeble mind to the fingertips of my boney fingers it did.
  13. Smarter farter is one who leaves the scene quickly so not be singled out.
  14. Hacking is a big concern for many, so it's best to keep a box of kleenex near by.
  15. Biscuit in the oven and bacon gravy mixed in a black iron skillet is a breakfast that we enjoy at least once a week, but when I used to work in the cabinet shop I used wooden biscuits shaped like footballs to help position edge joints securely thus creating an even surface.
  16. Our neighborhood has quite few individuals that walk their dogs daily and they do carry poop bags to pick up their dogs 💩, but I wish they would use their own yards instead. What gets me is the yellow spots from someone's dog that apparently is on medication. I'm with you, if you have a yard than let the dog do it's business there! As for trash, very seldom will there be any, I chalk it up to not having may kids in the neighborhood.
