Hi all . Iv had no updates again. Been busy tho too. Trysha glad your back home safe n sound. ❤

Sandy happy to hear your feeling better. Lovely spot for a dot of fishing.❤

Chris hope you are well. Yes we have each other here and im thankful for that❤

Shanen, hope you and your b12 are soon in alignment. ❤

Im doing ok,feeling a bit less brain fogged, maybe the budesonide but feels weired not being so fogged up but not complaining🙂

Love n hugs to all ❤❤
 
You hang tight, Mandy. We cannot be without our Fuzzy! Gentle giant hugs to you, mi amigo. xx

We got Sunday off on the furnace project. I've got a house full of monkeys six days a week, (apprentices and tradesmen). I have to keep a close eye on some of them. I used to work the trades as well. I just might fire the electrician, he's stood me up twice and he's on the third strike without me even seeing his bloody face. There is no excuse for not calling me and saying that he can't make it... Unless he lost his ears, phone and his fingers all at once. There will likely be a very stern talking to coming up for him, delivered by me. I'm doing well and I hope you all are too. I'm in a good mood and laid back, but I know how to take charge when needed. I'm used to running a crew, so I'm willing and able to send somebody down the road if needed. I hope you all are doing as best as can be expected.

Cheers!

Thanks Chris, hugs greatfully recieved. Totaly agree re the sparkie no excuse for not letting you know he wasnt able to come. How rude!!
Glad you are doing well my friend keep up the good work. ❤
 
Thanks, Mandy. There was another no show today regarding the electrician... I just went about my day and did whatever I felt like. Good thing considering all the wasted time lately.

On with the show then! I hope you all are doing well. To those of you feeling unwell, I wish you all the very best. I'm always here to support you peeps. My conversation inbox is always open...Cheers all!

You will be too tired to work tomorrow....but that does not bring home the 🥓 bacon
I am having lots of GI problems and i called the office Monday...was given a swift appointment for next Monday

I did not want to go to ER or have anyone else take care of me...having been formerly
messed up with incorrect diagnosis by an incompetent.
Its all very depressing and i am already stressed out with family events.
Such is life....what does not hurt makes us stronger...
Carol Im taking the win...
Winning......
 
HI Mandy. Not here to steal the win. I really wanted to say I hope all goes well from here on with the ambulance and associated treatment for your mom. Big hugs to both of you buddy.xx

Trysha, I'm so glad that you have taken the approach I would have. Good on you for getting in to see your regular doc so quick. I hope you can decompress from all the events and start feeling well soon. If you need to try debriefing, I was once a fireman and your secrets are safe with me.

Mandy, You make me smile. :)

For everyone else, keep your chin up... unless you're in a boxing match that is!

Best wishes to all. :^)

Must erase the effects of a long flight back
Happy weekend Everyone
Winning........
 
Why would you want to behave Chris ? You don't want to look back and feel like you missed out my friend.Go get 'em !!!
Great day at the festival yesterday,too much to share,but fab Rasta street dancers were spell binding and a choir of mental/physically disabled folk brought tears to my eyes.The enjoyement they exuded was infectious.
 
Thanks Chris...she is doing a bit better at mo 🙂
Carols right behaving is not good misbehaving is much more fun😀😀.❤
Carol glad u enjoyed your day out . Sounds fun.🙂❤

Trysha...have you googled the Rasta street dancers yet? 🙂❤

Love to all
 
Rastafarians are super cool! Rastas refer to their beliefs, which are based on a specific interpretation of the Bible, as "Rastalogy." The main principle is a belief in a single God, referred to as Jah, who partially resides within each individual. It's a very colourful and unique bunch. I'm pretty sure it started with Jamaicans and I've seen them nearly everywhere I go. Bob Marley was very much into Rasta too. :)

Winning...
 
Yes Mandy i did....found what i had suspected the dreadlock gang......interesting....dont see so many on the streets any more.
Chris...seems it started in Jamaica.
See what you started Carol.....gets jet lagged brains in gear again...
Winning....
 
The energy they had was mind blowing,and they were easy on the eye too.What ever they were on ...I WANT SOME !!!

Hi all... hope to find u all well.

Love to all xx
 
Well Mandy...thats one hurdle hurdled....one step at a time gets you there.
Hope you caught up with the zzzzzz
Saw the GI today...he says the issues are mechanical due to the drastic intestinal surgery....
Hes pushing Metamucil......which sometimes works....but last week gave me a severe reaction...
he's not listening...but ill give it a try again at the greatly reduced dosage he recommends.
I lost 10 pounds since May...........it concerns him a little...
Probably not eating enough....no appetite...
Here we go again...........

I'm pretty sure they all use marijuana. ;) Just so you know how to get in the Rasta groove! Don't tell the Queen. ;)

Winning!!
 
You are so right Mandy....
At the moment things are quieting down and i hope it lasts but carrying the trusty loperamide just in case....
Going to Cape de Madeleine Quebec next week for five days retreat from the outside world..so peaceful
and situated on the banks of the St Laurence Seaway...very tranquil...just what I need
A few sidetrips are planned to Quebec City and Montreal.....Nice break .....cant wait..
Brushing up my French right now..since its French language country.
Winning.....
 
Shanen..you have my sympathy...the same things happened to me.....have not yet seen the new dentist
but the new GI has been a great success....really knows his stuff.
Hope you have the same luck.......
Winning.....
 
There was a jolly miller once
Lived on the river Dee
He worked and sang from morn till night
No lark more blithe than he
And this the burden of his song forever used to be
I care for nobody..no not I..and nobody cares for me

A few years back we had a thread where each one added a line to a poem or limerick. (made up) Haven't seen it for years though.

It was good fun.The annual Lifeboat summer fayre is on today. and that's good fun too.If you want to come,be at mine for 11am.
 
Oh ye i remember that thread Carol. Must be around somewhere.
Oh ok il be there by 5 to 11. 🙂
They were collecting at my work place last week. I bought a couple of items and put some money in the collection tub. X
 
Sorry i cant be there Carol...just missed the boat...have a good day...
So hot here...
Well it is summer but wish it would cool off a bit.
Tomorrow off to Quebec for a week....annual retreat....it will be cooler on the banks of the St Laurence Seaway...its very tranquil there ...little to no traffic once we get there...and lovely green gardens to walk in and a nice restaurant beside the river.
Nothing quite like peace and solitude...
Winning.....
 
Hope you have a fab time Trysha. Il second that on the peace,solitude & tranquility...boy could do with some of that🙂
About 6 months worth will do the trick..
❤🏞
 
So the peace and tranquility started with a huge traffic jam in Montreal ....
we were stuck there for two hours and ended up late for dinner...which i could not eat..i wont even describe it lets say it knocked school dinners into a tiz..
I had no appetite anyway.
They some what redeemed themselves by lending me a 🔌 charger for my ipad...
forgot mine ...so that was really great of them.
There are no stores at all here.....a garage a mile away...thats all.
So i am eternally grateful...even if i cant eat the food...no appetite whatsoever.
I feed my mind instead with LOW and other places....
I do have a nice room....two beds to choose from and a private en suite....shower etc.
An overhead fan and a floor one.
Dont usually need either since it colder here than Ontario.
My French is already in practise...but the girl at the desk was quite good with her English....probably good as my French......and immediately brought out a big box of computer plugs....wires of every description and i spotted an Apple charger right away....so im good to go till Friday with the connections
Mandy ...i have no doubts about your intellectual abilities....join me any time
And if you can swim then teach me how.........maybe not ...
The St Lawrence can be unpredictable at times......
Thank you for the kind thoughts Carol...

Winning.....

Sounds like a typical vacation to me. I avoid them and choose day outings instead. I hope everyone is doing okay... As for any peace and tranquility... None here at the moment. I'm going without food and looking good while feeling like... Well, It's a deep subject! ;)
 
Hang in there peeps... take it easy ...we have a lifetime to get through !!

I can swim Trysha so would be happy to teach you. Though i may need to rest up abit 1st after swimming the pond to get there 😀😀❤
 
Hi everyone. I've been busy working on a metal project of my own, (besides the furnace). I've been in the basement all day because it's nice and cool down there. There also happens to be a good stereo system in the basement shop with a 10'' subwoofer... Gotta have tunes to be creative. ;) I hope everyone is keeping well and as cool as possible. Good morning, good evening and goodnight!

Cheers all! :)
 
Whistle while you work Chris....
We are now headed for Montreal on a freezing cold air conditioned bus...its a hot day..
Mandy ....thats good ..swimming is a health occupation..
I am ok as long as there is no chlorine...too much eye trouble from that..
Anyone else dream of flying high in the sky.....have not caught any falling stars ⭐️ ⭐️......yet.
Winning.......
 
I feel like I'm flying when I ride my motorcycle... The joy it brings me is immeasurable. I actually flew co-pilot in a Spitfire before with an old friend. He let me fly it for a few minutes. The saying, "the whole nine yards" refers to the length of the machine gun belts they carried. The whole nine was every bullet it had... until you reload that is! ;)

Cheers all!
 
Thats interesting Chris....but i am not keen on aircraft and fly AC or BA only when going to Uk.
Its great to hear of someone actually liking it......you were privileged to fly in the Spitfire...such valuable aircraft in WW2.
and the heroes who flew them.
I meant flying on your own...high in the sky...I take off at the top of stairs and fly free as a 🦅 bird......its only a dream but feels very real..never met anyone up there though...and theres no shops to explore...
Winning........
 
The furnace/heat pump job is complete! We have full climate control 24/7 now. I was falsly accused of being a slave driver by, "the general." I took it in jest (as intended I suppose) and told him I would wear it as a badge of honour! Lol... I'm the Mack Daddy today......... Winning... BIG TIME!!! ;)
 
Oh WHAT!!! Insurance piggin nightmare aw hun. Docs need to get a shift on, no idea have they...glad they finaly got the iv going, not good to have 3 attempts still lest got there in the end. Wishing you the very best and hope all issues are soon sorted hunnie.
My day has been ok thanks, at work so tiring but im still batting 🙂Hugs xxx
 
Mandy thats a lovely picture...looks like the tortoise is enjoying his bath...er wash and brush up...
Shanen..thats a terrible system where insurance companies dictate what you can have or not..hope you will soon feel better.
Who on earth is training these IV people....are they qualified nurses?
Chris...good that your project is finished and you are satisfied with the work.
I have just returned from Quebec.....12 long hours on the bus...dont think i will do that again..
And I left my swish walking cane given by my niece in England...hoping to get it back.......?...
Winning....
 
Chris a surgeon would be lovely..as for a future world leader, i think he could do a better job than those we have now.😏❤

Aw Shanen Issac is so cute, i bet he is a lovely child too. 🙂❤

Trysha glad you are home safely and hope your cane is back with you soon.🤞 Its so frustrating when you leave something behind. ❤

Love to all 💋❤
