Carol, my legs are pretty good and do not hurt for the most part. My hands though do hurt, from working all my life, and the firewood effort probably doesn't help. I would like to go for a ski today as conditions are good with temperatures in the minus teens, but I have to wait until after the...

Nothing wrong with starting the festivities with a few treats before hand Carol, as holidays don't come around often enough. We have a bit of excitement going on here with the gong show our government is in, and good, I've had enough of them digging into our bread baskets, leaving only crumbs...

When I first got her she was like any other regular cat and caught mice, but over the years like many pets, she took after her owner, and at my stage in life I've got a very soft heart. That little ball of a mouse seemed so vulnerable when exposed after I rolled the generator away even the cat...

I am glad to see you back Ron, I feared for the worst.

Hover the icon over the typo, right click on it and it should offer a correction word. We had an outage, and after I moved the generator outside I saw a mouse sitting there on the floor where the generator sat. I showed the cat the mouse, she sniffed it and gave the mouse a gentle lick like it...

Mexico has a welcoming feeling, the culture, the friendliness and helpfulness of these people have warmed my heart. The cost of living is a fraction of that here, and surprisingly their healthcare is pretty good. The problem is that being older, and with health conditions making such a move...

It takes a lot of firewood to heat the place, as I cannot afford the overtaxed fuel oil. Summer weather is preferred over the cold and I have thoughts about moving to Mexico, both for a warmer climate and better standard of living where taxes are lower with less government overreach. I went for...

I failed Remicade with a bad reaction causing med induced Lupus, giving me respect towards biologics and hence shy of taking that route, and went the natural route of diet and an active lifestyle with good results. I hate the damp cold when temperatures are at or just above the freezing point...

When I look back at what I used to do compared to now, how frail one becomes as we go through the senior years. A grocery store trip used to be a breeze and fun, now its become a chore. I shoveled snow yesterday, but what used to be a one afternoon job now takes two. But life in the slow lane...

Your BP is perfect Tony, keep up whatever it is that you are doing. If I can keep mine at 130 over 90 I am satisfied. Exercise and diet help me with it. This snow we got overnight will keep me working. 20 cms so far with some more to come. Now the concern is ice build up on the roof from ice...

Snow fall warnings posted this morning with anything from 15 to 30 cms coming. It will be just snow, so nothing destructive other than some inconveniences like power outages and road closures. I need to go for a good walk, or perhaps a ski would be better as everything is snow covered. Sounding...

I logged in here and saw that my post from yesterday is still in the que because I forgot to post reply. If forgetting were a sport I would win gold. The senior snowplowing service is real after all, I went out and found the driveway nicely plowed. That gives me confidence, we are expecting more...

Storms are not named over here, but then again they are only snow storms, harmless in comparison to the storms you guys get that are fueled by the ocean with high winds and heavy rains, like they do with hurricanes to the south. Still waiting for the snow plow service, I inquired, but nobody is...

Hi Carol, I fully agree with you, all the text is on the left two thirds of the screen with the rest blank. The blank part is probably where the adds are. I hate advertising, so I downloaded firefox browser years ago, its a free download and use their add blockers and for the most part they do...

Its pretty white today with another 10 cms of snowfall overnight. I'll try out the new electric snow shovel, its a small version of a snowblower but with the same power, light enough for me to maneuver and lift. As much as the world has changed, one thing has remained the same as it has been for...

Those were the good ol days, everyone spent more time outdoor and socially interacted with one another instead of sitting around using electronic devices. I still live like the old days, go for walks, knock on doors for casual visits, hunt, and cut and stack a lot of firewood. This place has a...

Good to hear that you are back to your swimming routine Tony, we get to live life once, so might as well live it well. Its been very quiet, on the chilly side, but on the eastern side of the great lakes which are really seas, they are getting over one meter of snow, with impassible roads and...

Glad to see you back. I hear you about the idiots to be elected, we have had to endure ten years of it. Walking the beaches and taking a swim. The garlic is a good idea too, is good for the gut and BP. Its cold, I went for a walk and the dry air felt good. -13C

I found this place in 2015 while looking for information on the subject. My chrons journey started when I was 20 with a lump on my anus that turned into nasty fistulas. I had several painful day surgeries back then that today would be admitted hospital stays. I Managed to live and work until...

I had the ultrasound done on my hernia, now the wait for the results. That is a good idea Carol. I've been thinking about shopping online for the heavy stuff like kitty litter. That way they will load it into the truck for me instead of having to load it on the cart and into the truck myself...
