Hey, thanks Kay and BJ...My beloved says Michael Jackson use to hang out in a hyperbaric chamber, and you see how well that turned out...I do spend a lot O time in the water closet chamber though, and generally speaking, come out feeling grand! I'm not making light of your hyperberic chamber, just making light of me. I'd sure use one if I thought it could/would woik, or if I could find one. My beloved tells me it is like a coffin...uh, no thanks...do they have an open hyperberic chamber? Kind of like the open MRI? Been in one of those a time or three!
Actually, I dont feel half bad at the moment! Which half? Well, my nose doesnt hurt, and my...started to say my left ear, but thought better of it, cause it and my right one hurt....well, a nose is a good start wouncha think"?
Kinda forgot about my malady, dealing with two kitties that are 17 years old with hyperthyroid and high blood pressure. The oldest of the two, katie, a blue and white tuxedo, is not doing well at all. She has stopped eating very much, so we are helping her in that area. They both take meds for thyroid and BP, but Katies thyroid is raging. We have upped her dosage, per the vet, and so far, it hasnt helped. She is sort of unsteady, and cant seem to get settled. Bless her heart, she has been the best of companions! She use to chase little balls of paper, and bring them back to us. Did that for hours. And that from a CAT! Hell, I have never had a dog that would chase anything, let alone bring something back!
Maybe this is just a rough patch she's going through, sort of like all of us go through! Or maybe....well, whatever the outcome, she has been loved and loved us! Peaches the other 17 year old, is having some of the same issues. Well, they were strays, and they have had the best of homes for 17 years, and thats a good thing. I know they are just cats, but still they are family, and just as important and valuable as human family! Sometimes even more so, at least in my family! I was sure hoping they both would live long enough to enjoy the screened in porch we are having built for them.
MAJOR FRONT COMING IN! ! ! ! ! Snowing in conroe...this ought to make our old joints and bones rejoice....isnt that something, I have always loved the cold weather, and it's that same cold weather thats a killer for me...not good on the bones and joints or the lungs...whatcha gonna do? Pick something out thats good and go with that!
Had a baked potato for supper tonight! Not a GOOD OLD FASHION one like we use to have, baked in the oven or in the coals of a BBQ fire, but in the microwave. For some reason the ones cooked for an hour in the oven or BBQ coals have a richer flavor, dontcha think? I have to skin mine, tater peels too hard to digest. You can use butter, or olive oil, or grapeseed oil, and lots O cheddar cheese, and Ortegas salsa...why did I go there? Now I've made myself hungry!
Guess everyone is getting ready for thanksgiving...duh, ya think einstein???? Well, just thought I'd mention it, lest anyone should forget, you know! This will be the first time in 30 years we are not having it at our house...hallelujia! ! ! When we were younger, it was a chore, but one in which we bounced back from quickly. Last couple of Tdays we had, were just moida (brooklyn for murder). Started on them weeks in advanced, and took weeks to clean up after!
Gonna have this one catered at someone elses haus! And Christmas also too! ! ! We dont have too many options for Christmas tree placement in the rental adobe, especially a large treel....one over a foot tall ! ! ! But we will find a good spot for the right tree! All our stockings, and there are many, have been stored. We have one for each member of the family, animals included, even ones that have passed over the rainbow bridge! Yup, we hang em all up on the mantel of the fireplace. this place has no fireplace...
Packed and stored my candy moulds, so there will be no christmas candy this year. Looked at Michaels hobby store, and they dont have much in the way of candy moulds! gonna check Hobby Lobby and then call it a year! Kinda glad cause it is tedious verk! Dianes BETA ETA group will be saddened by the absence! They have an auction twice a year, one at christmas and the other in the spring methinks, and my candy always fetches top dollar and a ferocious bidding war. Dont know why, it's just dark chocolate...well, the cameos are hand painted which is the tedious part. You wouldnt think it would be so hard to do, cause I get to sit down, but my back really aches half way through the process. And thats where my beloved Mrs. Claus steps in and gives me a hand...yeaaaaaaa!
Ok, time to go...my three hours of sleep awaits...havent had as many naps lately, and have slept fairly well at night, for me! Teddie said he quit taking naps cause he wasnt sleeping at night when he took them...he was right! But a nap sure feels good, and I seem to sleep more soundly in nap mode rather than night mode! Go figure!
Well, dont be a stranger, jump right in on the forum like BJ and Kay and everyone that has jumped in.
Oh, an aside here, lest it be thought that I seek symphony for my aches and pains and trials and tribulations, au contraire mon ami ! I got from it what I seek...information, friendship and the chance to communicate with said friends! ! ! Not glad that BJ has this poly stuff, but glad he thought enough of us to share that he did have it. And Kay and BJ thought enough of me to make sugggestions on how to over come it! Now, thats what I',m talkin about...and the hokey pokey is not what it's all about....good friends is what! ! ! Safety in numbers I allus say! And Jackies good gnus...now waiting to hear Charles and Lynells good gnus...and anyone elses good gnus...so share it with us! ! ! theres lots of us out here that care...
Your frien and brother-in-classmate, Me myself and I, snap, crackle and pop, signing off...take a coat wit you tommmmorrwooo, gonna get cold!
