Makes ya glad you weren't getting surgery 150 years ago though.
During my last knee surgery I was busy telling the gal (anesthesiologist) that it takes a lot to put me under.
She smiled and said "tough guy huh?" and that's the last thing I remember.

I absolutely don't understand it. Wife is trying to get some copies made of family pics that her Sister carted off with. Her sister is so worried about having the only copies of them (for whatever self centered reason she has) that it doesn't make sense.

I don't know. A few DTR members are always looking for a good deal and a colonoscopy by a Doctor costs a lot.
Never thought of using a go-pro (thanks Heidi).

I'd like to be just a little further under.

When I got the bill, there was some medicine on it that I didn't recognize, so I asked my GP about it. He said, "This one was to counter failing blood pressure, this one was to get your heart beating, this one was to directly counter the anesthetic, and this one was to help get your blood ph back to normal after all the other stuff." Long story short, they almost killed me to shut me up.

I don't like doctors, hopspitals, drugs, or any other interference with life.
And did you learn your lesson?

Evening folks.

There are so many sarcastic remarks I could make about that statement that I don't even know where to start. So I won't. Ain't that nice of me?

Morning all.

It is Saturday, March 15th.

1781 - During the American Revolution, the Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place in North Carolina. British General Cornwallis' 1,900 soldiers defeated an American force of 4,400.

1820 - Maine was admitted as the 23rd state of the Union.

1862 - General John Hunt Morgan began four days of raids near the city of Gallatin, TN.

1864 - Red River Campaign began as the Union forces reach Alexandria, LA.

1892 - Jesse W. Reno patented the Reno Inclined Elevator. It was the first escalator.

1902 - In Boston, MA, 10,000 freight handlers went back to work after a weeklong strike.

1913 - U.S. President Woodrow Wilson held the first open presidential news conference.

1916 - U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sent 12,000 troops, under General Pershing, over the border of Mexico to pursue bandit Pancho Villa. The mission failed.

1934 - Henry Ford restored the $5 a day wage.

1937 - In Chicago, IL, the first blood bank to preserve blood for transfusion by refrigeration was established at the Cook County Hospital.

1938 - Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia.

1944 - Cassino, Italy, was destroyed by Allied bombing.

1955 - The U.S. Air Force unveiled a self-guided missile.

1989 - The U.S. Food and Drug administration decided to impound all fruit imported from Chili after two cyanide-tainted grapes were found in Philadelphia, PA.

1990 - The Ford Explorer was introduced to the public.

1991 - Four Los Angeles police officers were indicted in the beating of Rodney King on March 3, 1991. (California)

2002 - In the U.S., Burger King began selling a veggie burger. The event was billed as the first veggie burger to be sold nationally by a fast food chain.

2002 - In Texas, Andrea Yates received a life sentence for drowning her five children on June 20, 2001.

2002 - U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told the Associated Press that the U.S. would stand by a 24-year pledge not to use nuclear arms against states that don't have them.


Today's thought:
If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.


C0ffee & ph00 is ready.

Who left the underwear hanging from the refrigerator handle? Whoever owns those things makes more skid stains than a getaway car. Was there a party in here that I wasn't invited to? Or did B0b just forget them again?

Are you still wimping around the house with all these excuses? Tighten up your belt and go outside and - - - - - aaahhhh, well, stay inside and do laps around the dining table - - don't trip. As for my Dependables - - told you, I don't wear no stupid shorts or dependables. no sirree. not me. nope.

Wow, got all kinds of things done this morning. Going out and start weeding, planting, fertilizing and mulching. Cleaned up garage yesterday before loading 60 bags of mulch in there. Need to wash the truck. Next week will continue the doctor parade and work in the yard. The next week is the RV week. Oboy, some much to do, so little time.

Claude - - - very scary cartoon - - too real.

Reminds me of the joke about a newbie in Heaven being shown all around by an angel. He noticed a huge high wall along one side for as far as he could see. He asked the angel what was behind the wall. Reply was SSHHHHH. Continued the tour - - asked again about the wall - - - SSSHHHHH
More tour, asked again - - the angel said well, since you are so curious, come and we will climb those steep steps on the side of the wall, but you just peak over and do not talk. They did so, peaked over and saw thousands of people in there, happy and walking around. They came down - - he asked again who are they? Angel said - well they are all Baptists - - and they think they are the only ones up here. (and you can substitute any other denomination you want to)

Wow gang, ANOTHER week has come and gone. Life is suddenly running by at a horrific pace. Gotta slow down and smell some gardenias. Be good, see ya next week.
Bob

We got absolutely no snow. Watched the storm pass a couple of miles away on its way to hammer you.

Had a 737 low on fuel forced to land at our airport at 1830 last night because it couldn't land in Anchorage.
110 passengers plus the crew had to spend the night. Good thing we got flush toilets in the terminal.

-Yeah, I let the brother thing slip awhile back and chaikwa pounced on it.
-Coast guard lands planes here and stores equipment at the docks but no base per se.
-No, I think the flush toilets were installed by the feds when they were here investigating the exploding seagulls.
