Thanks Trysha. Im not that often unwell so cant whinge to much when i am. Theres folk worse of then me. Im so gratefull i dont feel this rough to often. 💕

Madhu what an awful time you had in ER all that on top of your loss. It should not be that way.
Oh only 2 more weeks. I hope all goes smoothly and as painlessly as poss. 💕

Big hugs n loves to all :ghug: 💕💕
 
Buff,now you will HAVE to rest for a while.When I read your post I thought you were in our local A&E.I totally agree about the drunk tanks etc....slightly off the subject.We had a drugs raid over the road yesterday,Right next door to the house we used to own.Thank goodness we sold up when we did.It was very entertaining though.Took about 4-5hrs to clear all the apparatus.It was better than the TV cop shows.

Trysha,,,I have to see my GP on the 5th for a re-referral- to G.I as I'm off the system because I haven't been seen for just over 3yrs.My own fault entirely.So it may not be until 2019.....Just this minute watching addicts knocking at the raided door over the road.It used to be such a nice street,back in the day...
 
I'm doing okay, I have use of the arm although a bit limited. I can only carry 2 or 3 pieces of wood at a time into the house from the outside pile. For now I am taking it easy. Madhu, lets hope for success this time around, and I'm looking forward to hear about your brand new arrival. I was thankful it was only a cut, many in the ER were in far worse shape. Carol, that was about as close as one can get when it comes to reality shows. Just don't end up as one on the set. Winning a round.
 
I hope your shampoo never gets mixed up with your Preparation H and shrinks your head to the size of a mushroom...….
 
A few perks of growing old.....things I buy now won't wear out,I enjoy hearing arguments about pensions,my secrets are safe with my friends because they can't remember them either.And now I'm getting older I don't need to do drugs,I can get the same effect just by standing up too fast.And another advantage is,I need only four hours sleep.True I need it four times a day,but still...…..
 
One thing about getting old is that I don't care or bother to get worked up over the issues anymore, I have nothing to prove to myself or the world. I've been through it all before.
 
Why do scuba divers roll off the boat backwards ?
Because if they rolled forwards they'd land on the deck...
 
I am mending up nicely so far. Its been feeling itchy under the bandage which is a good sign. The cut is on a good place which is out of the way. I can use the arm carefully, and the cut is high enough not to get wet when washing dishes. Maybe won another round.
 
That phrase they use "in living memory "--as in "the worst floods in living memory" or "the coldest weather in living memory"--- just how far back does it stretch, because at my age "living memory" goes back to a week last Tuesday.
 
Your still ahead Carol, last Monday I let my mind lapse for a brief moment in the shop and I paid for it. As long as I don't forget that lesson. At my age it was a refresher I don't want to forget. There should be a venue in the Olympics for forgetting, I would win gold.
 
My notebook needed a new cooling fan, and was at the PCMedic for two weeks. Thanks to the postal strike, I had to pay $50 for a new one to be shipped via courier, otherwise I'd still be waiting for it next January. I didn't realize just how much I use it, online banking, online lab test results. I even pay my property taxes online. News, weather, games....I was getting withdrawal symptoms. I need to buy a cheap Ipad or something once my pension starts rolling in. Good to have a backup. I really didn't want to walk to the library. It hasn't been that cold, but the sidewalks are icy.
 
Bufford....good to hear your wound is healing ...your sense of humour is ever present
in spite of all the negatives.
Mandy...hope you are feeling a bit better..that tired feeling is awful..
Tuff..sorry about the computer problems.
Carol good to see you in flitting around with a good supply of witticisms
I am feeling tired of having to sign in every single time I enter the website...is anyone else bothered by it?
Never used to be like this and having to sign a consent form every time.
Times have changed....and I find it very off putting.
Our weather is balmy right now but no doubt the cold weather will soon be upon us.
Cheers Everyone!,
 
I don't rely on my Lap Top for anything except this forum,e-mails to-from son and friends and the occasional surf.My phone is bog-standard phone/txt, and we don't have a house phone.Lap Top has all the bells and whistles like Skype and Cortana ,video and camera,but I don't feel the need...….Lists now,that's a different thing all together.I make lists for everything.And I've been known to go into shock if I go to the shops without one......
 
Tuff your lucky you got the notebook back. Since September the post office has lost two packages. I am avoiding the postal system now and use courier services. They are fast and friendly, unlike the clerk at the post office who moves slower than molasses during a January deep freeze.
Trysha, it sounds like a setting issue is preventing you from staying logged on. I know little about these things, but perhaps someone in your family might be in the know.
 
Mines about 4 seconds Mandy....and sometimes a complete blank.
Thanks for the advice Bufford....didn’t need any family computer gurus...as soon as you
spoke the thought entered my mind...I have been running privacy mode and as soon as I switched to regular mode the entry is again automatic so I don’t have to keep signing in.
If it’s in privacy mode it requires credentials before you can enter the website.
Your advice was most welcome.
It’s like a balmy spring day here today..lovely for a walk.
I boarded the bus at my regular bus stop...or so I thought...was riding for ten minutes in the opposite direction before I saw a sign going west....I was supposed to be going east...
I made a bus stop mistake .... feeling a little weary now... Alzheimer’s...worrisome thought..
Maybe one or two mistakes are allowed since I’m not so young as I used to be....
Winning....
 
Scottsma I don't have a cell phone, just a land line. Don't want one. I see all these people walking around with their face glued to their phone. Yep, I have lists for everything as well. Thankfully my appointment list has very few things on it lately.
 
The secret of my long life ? Swim,dance a little,go to Paris every August...and live within walking distance of two hospitals.
 
Chores do keep a person busy, they also keep us fit. I make my jobs fun, I take time outdoors to listen to nature as well. The birds are better than any symphony. :)
 
I need a list to keep track of my lists. 😂 I make a list these days and forget it when I leave the house so now I take a picture of it with my phone camera. :lol:
 
Nice to see you Shanen….I'm off for a root canal filling having cancelled three previous appts.due to you know what....
 
Carol...hope the dental visit went smoothly and painlessly and that you didn’t need to leave the room abruptly....
Hi Shanen...good to see you...same thing here but I think a little lesss acute than your problems.I am taking vit B Complex to see if memory improves....at least I remembered to get up showered and dressed this morning...could be because I have friends visiting...
It’s snow and freezing 🥶 🥶 cold...well it’s winter on the way...at least it stopped... snowing for now..
Winning...
 
Carol take care, I hate going to the dentist and root canals are among the worst to endure. At least it saves the tooth, nothing more horrendous than a tooth extraction, and one still gets the bill.
 
I lived out in the country as well, until my divorce. It was really hard to sleep in town for a few years, until I got used to the noise and light. I used ear plugs and heavy curtains. I miss the starry sky and shooting stars.
 
Tuff..did you ever catch a falling star......
Carol ...hope the dental visit went well and painlessly
Mandy..I guess there’s plenty of excitement around with the kids waiting for Christmas Day
Hope you are feeling better
Madhu....how are you...won’t be long now for a happy event.
Bufford..it is not easy to move and I still miss my house...but it’s so good not to have all the chores that go with it.Theres something good about looking out the window watching the grounds people doing the gardens...clearing the snow etc.
Nothing to do except take care of the apartment chores and sit back .......
International scene is getting hotter..Canada used to be a neutral country ...now we have
a China incident that we don’t need.
We have enough internal problems that should be taken care of.
Now to enjoy a freezing cold sunny day....where does the suns heat go in winter....
Winning....
 
3 days until due date. Everything hurts but not many symptoms of labor yet. I'm hoping to avoid induction and go all natural. Really praying I'm able to do it [emoji30]
 
I’ll add a few for you Madhu....hope everything goes really well and the baby appears for you as soon as possible.
Tonight I was at a Christmas concert enjoying the music.
Afterwards as I stepped off the first old fashion carpeted top stair someone pushed past and I would have fallen down the lot save for two good Samaritan’s who caught and saved me from the fall..it happened so quickly...good job I’m on the small side so they didn’t drop me.
I have hurt my thumb and of course it has to be my healing right side...#@&
Wish people would be more considerate and look before they push...
It’s very achy and hope it’s not broken...
Talk about the Perils of Pauline......
Winning......
 
I'm trying to contain any bad language I feel like letting go,Trysha :devil::devil:
I despair sometimes,I really do.I'm so relieved you're ok (ish)…..Madhu,you must be so excited and a little bit apprehensive too.Don't take notice of the horror stories some folk delight in telling you.Everybodies different. it's only one day in your life and soon forgotten.Like toothache.:ghug:
It's a lovely day here.Cold,and sunny.There's the annual Christmas market in the town square today,so we're going to have a walk later.It's only 10mins up the road and the bonus is the library is open as are the toilets.Those who know me also know my views on Christmas and crowds,but I will grit my teeth and bear (?spl) it.I love to see the exorbitant prices they're charging for designer cheese ,wine and jam etc.
 
Aw Madhu i really hope the wee one arrives soon, safely n as painlessly as possible. Any pain u have will be instantly forgotten once baby is in your arms.😍💕

Oh Trysha how very rude and disrespectful some people are. Glad you were not hurt more and your thumb is soon better. Im ok bar having a cold now. 💕

Carol i know you will come back from market with books n no fancy cheeses. The prices for the so called fancy stuff is a criminal offence if u ask me n im sure a book is much better value :)

Chris congrats on passing the morse code test. I wish i could remember something long enough to
Pass a test on it 🙂💕

Take care all.
Love n hugs 💕💕💕

Madhu, I hope all goes well with your new arrival when the baby comes.
Carol, I understand your plight well, I map my travels by the stops where there are toilets and toilet friendly stores.
 
Carol and Mandy thank you for the sympathy.....bit better today but the hand itself is stiff and painful...getting over it though with a little help from Tylenol.
I have never heard of designer cheeses....did some artist paint pictures on them?
Who are the designers?
I thought it was the cows.....
I like a knife tip of marmite on a piece of buttered toast...can skip the cheese if it gets too expensive..and a good cup of English tea...
Madhu...where are you.....?.? doing well I hope...well we all hope...
Bufford and Chris...hello.......I expect you are busy with your Morse code Chris....
Winning
 
We have a fancy cheese store. I went in there once and looked at the prices and left. $8.00 for 100 grams. GRAMS. Food prices keep going up, it's getting harder to get by. I'm going to expand my veggie plot next year, and plant more strawberries. I already have raspberries and black currants.
 
I want those Babybel cheese now! ;) I'm not kidding, I really want some... send three dozen... Packages... or more. Hang in there everyone, it's not easy being cheesy. ;) I wish you all rest and recuperation. :)
 
Chris...send me PM your mailing address and I will send you the babybels.....loads of them here and all different kinds....maybe get them there for Christmas....you are only four provinces away....as the crow flies..
Tuff...you are in my province...could send some to you also
Our Shoppers Drug Store has cheese sales....the Armstrong is tasteful.....we also have several farmers markets all with cheese stands and good selection.
The local farmers sell the best cheeses.
Prices vary
When my Dad visited and stayed with us he made a beeline for the cheeseman who socialized with him and gave him slices of the different cheeses,very nice of him but I knew he was supposed to lose some weight ......he like to wear those fancy English caps when he went shopping with us...I preferred a proper 🎩 hat....but then as he said I wasn’t the one wearing it.He was back and forth to Canada for the last ten years of his life and so enjoyed it.
I was at a trade show last week and there was a stand with local grown bee honey and lovely yellow beeswax candles.i bought some candles for gifts....they were beautifully moulded with bees shaped from the wax attached to the candles...very neat.
All produced from local bees in five different areas of the Niagara Peninsula.
Morpheus awaits....time for sleep...to sleep perchance to dream.....

I'm still here Trysha. It's getting more and more uncomfortable everyday but I'm trying to be patient. Whenever the baby is ready is the right time. I still have 10 days before they start to talk about induction, so hopefully she will decide to appear soon :)

I'm so sorry to hear you were pushed. Thankful to all the stars for the good Samaritans who caught you. Try to be a bit more careful, there are reckless folks everywhere around us. Hugs to you and everyone else here [emoji177]
 
Hello Madhu....sorry you are still playing the waiting game....and hope you will soon have the babe in your arms.
The waiting is the worst part but soon you will be the proudest parents on the block.
Maybe tomorrow...
Lots of prayers for you...
I was pushed away from the handrail by the crowd...there was only one side with the handrail....usually I wait till all the crowd has gone but my friends were ahead of me,one came back to see where I was and just in time he caught me together with another guy.It was an ornate ancient staircase.
The crowd soon moved back and I reached the bottom of the stairs ok with the help.
Very achy today though but I found a holistic cream ...antiphlogistine A355 or some similar name....anyway it helped.
It is 10.45pm Ontario time here and I am just ready for bed.
Hope your babe arrives tonight
Hugs
Trysha

Men getting old (er)…..

First you forget names,
then you forget faces.
Then you forget to pull your zipper up
and finally you forget to pull it down...…….

AND for us all over a certain age...…..
To my deafness I'm accustomed
To my dentures I'm resigned
I can manage my bifocals
But O how I miss my mind.
 
Nothing wrong with your mind Carol.....sometimes extra vitBcomplex can help....
I get similar lapses...and I’m a fussy eater too.
Elizabeth May is going through a tough time but she does it well.....us women still have the dice stacked against us in a mans world..even though things are slowly changing..
Madhu....storming heaven for you...hope things are well
Now to get on with the housework......
Dull day today
Winning.....
 
I am resigned to the fact that I am older and my head is full of holes unable to retain anything for very long. I wonder if I am alone on this one; but sometimes I forget to pee and I am occupied doing something else wondering why I am so uncomfortable. Then finally a small light comes on in my head and I remember that I need to go.



The relief is almost overwhelming until it repeats itself. And.... now I must step out as I just remembered why this post has been so uncomfortable to type out.
 
Maybe your signal has dimmed with time and crohn’s....perhaps your doc could help you here...there is a new drug claimed to be successful that might help.
No news from Madhu yet....exciting times...hope everything goes smoothly for you Madhu
Cheers Everyone
Winning....
 
My problem came when my bladder was overfilled during the emergency surgery that lead up to my colostomy. After I came out of the anesthetic I was so full I could not go. So staff had to place a catheter and they were amazed too when I urinated more than one full liter in one go. The relief was overwhelming, but since then I have been having problems with nerves that will not always tell me that my bladder is full.


Having said that, I need to go.
 
I just got back from my appointment. If I don't go into labor on my own within a week, I will be induced the following weekend before Christmas. I'm very disappointed [emoji22]
 
Babies make their own schedule Madhu. My daughter was 2 weeks late before they induced me and she’s not been on time since. Thinking of you and wishing you well.
 
My husbands brother passed away, family fighting. Son’s wedding this weekend and things are getting crazy.
 
That is very sad Shanen....please accept my condolences and hope for a more pleasant
atmosphere for you.
Madhu...sorry the babe is lazing around....it will happen soon,maybe by the weekend...
Saw my doctor today...routine check up...he insists every two months...
Left shoulder is in trouble now...more Physiotherapy ..the right one is improving...
Still a bit hard to do the washing up and vacuuming.Next year w I’ll be better...
That’s hard news Bufford but the new medication may still be worth a try...you never know..
Carol..where are you today...it’s not the same without you ....and what about all the others.? Hope you are all reasonably well.
Cheers!
Winning.....
 
I'm very sorry for your loss, Shanen. I can't possibly imagine how poorly you are feeling right now. I wish you the very best from here on out. I hope the rest of you will hang in there... I'm hanging in there with you.
 
Shannen so sorry for your loss. Such a shame the family are fighting. Shouldnt death be a reminder that lifes to short to be fighting. Hope the wedding goes well and its a happy and fun day. 💕


Love to everyone. :ghug:
 
Thank you everyone. You are so right Mandy. As it was sudden and unexpected you'd think they'd realize how quick life can change. Hope you're soon on the mend Trysha. Healing can be slow.

Sorry to hear about the family fights Shanen, these are so wasteful and destructive. Seems everyone has one kind of a struggle going one. My gallbladder gave me an unpleasant reminder for that slice of pizza I should have passed on last night.
 
I have succeeded in creating a backyard chickadee army, comprised of many dozen strong... They all have nests and food provided. We don't need to worry about tent caterpillars in the spring. Those birds really are my best buds, you folks are too. :)

Cheers all!
 
Hi All,
I miss you all and am sorry I have not posted lately. Sort of lost track of everything lately. I have been in lots of pain lately, enough so that I called the surgeon and we have moved the surgery up to Dec 18, less than a week away. I am very nervous, as I have not had surgery since tonsils out at age 7. (I am now 66). I've hardly even been in hospitals other than to visit friends who are ill. But I do have confidence in my surgeon and hope that all will go well, and I will finally have some relief from this daily pain. I also worry about what might happen afterwards and whether I will have to have an ostomy bag. I guess at some point I have to just trust the doctors to know what they are doing and let go.
Hubby has been very supportive and even installed a bidet on our toilet for me. So nice to be able to clean up so easily. It makes me wonder why they are so common overseas but not here in the US.
So glad to see you are all still here and hanging in there. Looking forward to hearing the news of the new baby. And hope your hand is healing up, Bufford. Hi and best wishes to all of you! If anyone has any post surgery tips, I would be grateful to hear them.
 
I hope you will be spared from having to get an ostomy NuttyGuts for they require a lot of maintenance and care. I've had one for close to 18 years, and while it has helped me with my condition it is a constant bother. Just take it really easy after surgery, allow for rest and extra time to do things and follow the diet.
 
A bit depressed tonight after a busy day and no one to talk to...which doesnt usually bother me living on my own for so long.i usually talk to my family in the UK but I did not want them to know about today.They can’t do anything and it bothers them.Im feeling ok but very tired.
Early start for an 8 am appointment for abdominal ultrasound and liver scan.....my liver enzymes have been abnormal since August and we were hoping it would go away.
The family doc decided it should be done plus more bloodwork.
Keeping my fingers crossed for normal results this time..I also completed the blood work as ordered.
Tomorrow will be better....others are so much worse off than I am.
Physiotherapy and acupuncture I find very helpful...as well as walking...weather willing...
Also seeing other people on this site that are suffering so much...especially the younger ones makes me ashamed to be negative.
At least it stopped snowing for now..we are getting off lightly this winter.
And now to bed....to sleep...perchance to dream......
Winning.....
 
Ah,Trysha.it seems like these sad moods are getting to be regular.Given your situation it's not at all surprising though.Sending you hugs,gentlle ones,until you feel more like yourself.…….Madhu will hopefully give us some good news soon.
Got some mezalazine from the doc's,and have done a calprotectin test.Results next week hopefully.I've got an awful feeling I'll be on steroids for Christmas.Not that it matters much.

Sitting on the lavatory for eight hours uses the same number of calories as one hours jogging.....this must be why most crohnies are of a slim build ???
 
Trysha, don't feel that you are all alone, many of us have mood swings that bring on the blues. When I flare I get often get depressed. Madhu, it must be getting close. Carol, I often wonder how many kilometers I have walked between the outhouse and my house, not to mention the actual time spent in the the loo. No wonder why I am not much more than a bean pole.
 
Bufford, you make me thankful for the fact that we have indoor plumbing! Since my Crohn's diagnosis, my husband has installed a legal, working septic system, a bidet on the potty, and an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Such luxuries make me realize I should not complain about how much time I have to spend in there! :ybatty:
 
Now resolved to return to being upbeat....a girl guide smiles and sings under all difficulties..
Too many years have passed since i qualified to that important position that lifted me above
all others!! Qualifying to be a Girl Guide..what a great time that was.
Hope you are better soon Carol and that you won’t need the steroids
Bufford I think you have it far worse than I do..hope today is a good one for you.
Tuff....you chose a good moniker
Trev I thought my iPad was acting up until I realised it was Morse code you had written.....
Chris...how are the airwaves....
Shanen ..hope things are becoming more peaceful for you.
Nutty...sorry to hear of your upcoming surgery ..hope everything goes smoothly for you
The sun is desperate to push through the clouds...hope it makes it
Cheers!
Winning....
 
Thanks everyone for checking on me. You are all so sweet. I'm still here, running out of patience.

Trysha, don't feel you're alone. You have me and all of us here. Hugs [emoji177]

Nutty, good luck with the surgery. I hope it puts you into remission. Hugs to everyone xx
 
Will keep my smart phone nearby in the hospital so I can keep track of all you wonderful folks. Looking forward to your happy news, Madhu!
 
Trysha sorry you have been down. It happens to the best of us even those in remission. Hope you are soon feeling brighter hun 💕

Nutty hope your surgery goes well and smoothly. That you feel better from it soon. Yes take it easy but also move about as much as you can it does help recovery. 💕

Madhu hang in there girl...babies tend to have their own arrival times🙂 as long as all goes well the timing is irrelavent. Best of luck hun 💕

To everyone else hugs n best wishes. Love u all. Xx💕💕
 
We should start a series called...Pimp My Bathroom! Wouldn't that be something...? That's nice that your husband did all that for you, Nutty. He sounds like a heck of a nice guy! My best to each and every one of you. :)

Cheers all!

Pretty cold at 1c with a strong wind.Snow coming later today.I'm just sitting around with a book or having a rifle through the cupboards and fridge looking for a tasty snack'I have a high shelf filled with goodies for the holidays and I'm fighting the urge to get the steps.
…….In 1999 more than 3,000 people were hospitalised after tripping over a laundry basket.....you'd have thought some kind person would have moved it after the second one...…..and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trysha was one of the unfortunate trippers.

women getting older :rof:

Mid-life Blues
Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.

In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.

The good news about mid-life is that the glass is still half-full, the bad news is that it won't be long before your teeth are floating in it.

Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear end without turning around.

Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and realize that it is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless on film.

In mid-life you are still a HOT babe, but now it comes in flashes.

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream "Listen honey, even the Roman Empire fell, and those will, too!"

Mid-life is when you go to the doctor and you realize you are now so old, you have to pay someone to look at you naked.

Mid-life brings with it the wisdom to know that life throws us curves and you're sitting on your biggest ones.

Mid-life is when you start to repeat yourself and your chins follow suit.

Mid-life is when you realize that if you were a dog, you'd need a control top flea collar.

Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenage and think: "For this I have stretch marks??"

Mid-life is when you bounce (a lot), but you don't bounce back. (It's more like Splat!)

In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact, the only thing you can still retain is water.

Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally . . . more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin.

Mid-life means that you become more reflective. You start pondering the 'big' questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

But, mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile.

Would any of you trade the knowledge you have now for the body you had back then? Maybe our bodies have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired . . . anyway that's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!
 
I'll keep it short, after mid life comes the so called golden years. The only thing golden about it is that I don't stress over things. Otherwise it could be renamed, the painful years of aches, pains, and downsizing.


Our best before date has passed, and as such we are left on the shelf.
 
In December of 2010 I had a massive pulmonary embolism. I survived mostly because I live close to the hospital, and I'm tough as nails when need be. Every year at Christmas I have a toast to one more year I got to spend here. I try to look at the positive side of things and enjoy the little things in life.
 
Hi guys. My latest flare is over. I just got off the Budesonide, which is a good thing. It got my blood glucose levels sky high, about 225 - 250 fasting. The budesonide caused the blood glucose to rise. I have been off the steroid since December 1st, but my levels continue to be high. I am worried about it. My PCP doubled my diabetes med, but so far it has not made much difference.
 
I'm happy to hear from you, Doug. I hope your blood sugar levels improve real soon. Try not to worry, it seems like you are doing everything you can. Say hi to Sandy for me.

I'm having a lazy weekend... anybody up for a game of pool...? I haven't played in years so you might have a chance...;)
 
I enjoyed pool and was quite good at it when I frequented the bars when I was younger. Its been a few decades since I have picked up a pool cue so I'm probably quite rusty.
 
Tony,thanks for the post......I'd say it was fighting talk if it wasn't all true.
Well SOME of it anyway.....Have a peaceful Sunday all of you.

Mandy,I hope you're getting plenty of rest between shifts.
Madhu...we're waiting with excitement
 
Carol can you explain rest to me please iv forgotten what that is...:hug:

Tony none of that applies to me...
Well maybe 1 or 2 things
Or maybe a few more...
Oh hell it all applies who am i trying to kid :rof:💕

Doug glad the flare is under control. Hope the blood sugar settles soon. Love to Sandy and you. 💕💕

Tuff you sure live up to your name. I guess we are all tough in our own way. Take care 💕

Love to you all. :ghug: 💕💕💕
 
Carol...I don’t have a 🧺 laundry basket for obvious reasons....but I can trip over a paper bag since the brain injury several years back.
Doug...have you tried cinnamon to reduce blood sugar level.
It has worked very well for me when I was thought to be pre diabetic....that’s no longer
the case. The dosage. I take is Cinnamax 150mg made by SISU.and don’t take any higher
than this....too much may not be good for you.
My blood sugar has remained steady for over two years and no longer an issue.
Chris..I would be easy to beat at pool...I’ve never played it...
Tony..that’s quite some post..thanks for the rendition...
Mandy..hope your weekend is relaxing...
Madhu....where is our 👶 baby....still thinking of how to make a grand entrance to the world...Or maybe decided to stay put seeing the state of things in our world today.
Hope you are feeling as well as can be expected and not fretting too much at the delay.
Sun undecided today stuck in the clouds like some of us....

Well, being good at pool does tend to make people point a finger towards a wasted youth, but not always. I got quite good while at our fire hall being on call, or after fire practice. I was there for a couple years between high school and college and technical school. A really good friend of mine who was a captain taught me a ton of trick shots, he has since passed away. God bless him. He lives on in all the knowledge he shared with us young guys, he was a darn good man and I smile when thinking of Dennis. Once In the big city I also played in lots of pubs and I could run a table for hours back then (thanks to all the advanced practice with Dennis). Boy I hope one day I can get a pool table of my own... Wasted youth ...nah... wasted money at the bar chasing skirts... quite possibly. ;)

Ramble on eh! :)
 
Nothing enjoyed is ever a waste Chris.
And it's good that you have happy memories of Dennis.
We should all try to leave happy memories when our time comes
It would be a wasted life if we didn't.

Doug...have you tried cinnamon to reduce blood sugar level.
It has worked very well for me when I was thought to be pre diabetic....that’s no longer
the case. The dosage. I take is Cinnamax 150mg made by SISU.and don’t take any higher
than this....too much may not be good for you.
My blood sugar has remained steady for over two years and no longer an issue.

I totally forgot about Cinnamon. I will try that if my levels don't go down in a day or two. I was at 106 this morning, but that happened after not having dinner yesterday. I want to see if my fasting blood sugar stays in that territory before trying the cinnamon.
 
I never thought about cinnamon, I will have to give it a try. My father had a pool table in the basement where I got good with a lot of practice. I recall the bar scene when I was young, sometimes I would win too many games and would have to let the others win or I might have ended up in the ER room. Oh those were the days.
 
Is every one frantically getting prepared for Christmas ? It's awfully quiet.Buff almost won the prize but I've saved him from the embarrassment.

Attendants bearing brandy and smelling salts stood at the top of the first escalator in Harrods,to revive shoppers who became light-headed on the ride....I expect that after the fifth glass they might become suspicious eh ?
 
Im just franticly worrying i wont be ready for xmas. Still got shopping to do n no energy to do it.

Love to all :ghug:
 
Our little girl is here! Baby Laya was born today 19th Dec at 1.15 pm central. I was admitted for induction last night because she wouldn't react much on the monitors, and the entire labor process went as smooth as it can. We are so in love. Thank you so much for all your prayers and wishes [emoji7][emoji7] Will upload a pic once I figure out how to. Lol
