NE, so glad to hear you're on the mend! easy on any salt. applesauce, pudding, tuna, ect. is good to start with. wow, feel for ya pal. faxing you a massuse....

Bark, I hear ya. conversation with DH was like Abbott and Costello on moving someplace warmer....shocked to see most states tax social security.

for some reason, the cat loves it cold out. she is romping in around the living room then out her own door. sounds like a horse, running around. you kind of cringe when she runs at ya.....then darts off for a hidden treat or favorite toy.

met with second son and friend for dinner half way (45 miles each) got title and seat for bike, 4AM will be early I am sure.....

here's my credit card, get your own breakfast DTR.....

Wish I didn't feel so beat up. Hopefully once I heal up some I will feel better than I did. I sure don't right now.
Don't think I will be working for a couple weeks. Doc said 4 weeks 20 lb lift limit. Picked up a bag of canned vegetables when I got home, big mistake, and it wasn't near 20 pounds.
Dog wants to play musical doors. Not gonna happen anytime soon.
Picked up a couple DVDs out of the $5 bin at wally's-mart the other day. 2 disks, one case, 4 James Stewart flicks. Getting my money's worth out of it. Far Land, Night Passage, The Rare Breed, and can't remember the fourth.
Maureen O'Hare sure was a good lookin woman. Had some pretty good roles too. The Mills girl in this one is pretty good too.
And it's hard to not like Ben Jonson, even if he only plays someone on crutches and doesn't do much in the show.

Hey DTR'onians,
I think I need an assist from Shorts or Stan. DW augmented supper with tamalajes and ajoles. How do pronounce that last food stuff? From what I know the J is pronounced like an H so I am very afraid. I am sure she is feeding me A-holes. That isn't nice at all

NE frmhnd

JWBM- I asked about chicken noodle soup. It went down pretty good. Have a bunch of yogurt and some applesauce and a little pudding.

Got ya. I guess it's the 6' woodpecker costume then. I know how bad you are at dealing with them.

Same here when mine went south. Rest!

If you didn't like this surgery I strongly advise you to follow the doc's advice because you will certainly won't like the next one. After any surgical procedure, including Laparoscopic to the abdomen, you can easily develop a hernia. Follow the doc's advice, don't lift or you may get to experience your intestine on the exterior of you body.

NEFarmer, listen to the old guys, life to short o make all the mistakes ourselves.. rest and relax..take it easy on what ya eat...itll pay off
glad it went well ..

still cold here... finding the years seem to magnify the effect the cold has on me.. or is it realy that much worse out this year??? seems to me in past winters I got alot more done outside than I am this year... hard to get motivated just to change wiper blades on THE BOSS's jeep since I gotta take my gloves off to do it...
yea, it must be colder this year..... since I aint old yet by a long shot..
I am feeling the weather more in my fingers and joints, that I am certain of tho..

'fraid Im gonna be one if those guys you see that looks 90 when they're 60, bent over and twisted...
Was it Jack Bennie or George Burns who is quoted as saying " if Id have known I was gonna live this long, Id taken better care of myself"??
THE BOSS is calling, gotta go spend the day with THE PRINCESS and THE BOSS JR, window shopping at the boat show... guess thats a sign that spring must be closer...
Yall have good'un

Recently watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance again. Love those movies.

I don't even know what a ajoles is. Thought it was some sort of animal. What are they like?

Figure if people supposedly shoot at bigfoots all the time without a license a 6' tall woodpecker wouldn't stand a chance.

Didn't we just have this discussion last week?
Or maybe we were talking about not remembering things as well.

Sure... Offer the use of your credit card and the road is blocked by trees so I cant go anywhere. Too lazy to move them myself in this wind.



Can't believe our power is still on. Wind is starting to let up, the satellite still has signal and there is left over clam chowder. Life is good.

Morning sniffers - - - ph00 is on, coffee is on, the blonde made some banana nut bread - - brought a couple loaves. Enjoy.

Just went out a grabbed the paper. 62 degrees, clear skies. Heading for 80 today. Shorts are on. Tough life.

Grabbing my .............................and go do something constructive.

Maybe a subliminal message of how she sees you? Just a thought. They say you are what you eat, maybe it works backwards too; 'you are what I feed you'.

You trying to take over the 'thought for the day' with the 'disturbing mental image for the day'?

Internal organs outside the body are always cool!

It's worse this year. Colder, snowier, longer than any year I can remember. I can't remember a year where we DIDN'T have a January thaw until this year.

Me too. I've had a sore left arm and shoulder since Christmas, fingers on right hand don't wanna work half the time and last week my back hurt so bad I couldn't move. It's either the weather or I'm having a stroke!

I'll be happy if I MAKE it to 60!

It's the weather. When in doubt, it's always the weather.

Hey NE frmhnd, please tell me you have someone stopping by once in a while to see if you need anything.

Off to the woods to kill a tree.

Good morning all. What a beautiful morning....... where I live. I see that many of you are still under the weather, some in more ways than one.

N frmhand, what you have just been thru is pretty rough. Do exactly what your doc told you to do and do not try to be a macho guy, or else I can guarantee that you will pay for it. To get well and stay well, do lots of research on EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. "Your body is a product of what you eat" is well proven.

Sean, please keep me out of your domestic squabbles. Yes, in Spanish the J is pronounced as a H, so in other words if you drive a Jeep, it becomes a Heep.

My wife hosted a hen party last night here at home, so I was banished to my den. That is until some woman brought a couple of unwelcome kids and one of them pushed the patio screen door off the tracks and then she came and asked the calvary for help to fix it. Now the house is full of mosquitos.

That reminds me. Next month I need to start taking anti-malarial tablets for a short while because we will be in a known malaria area for about 1.5 weeks. Need to keep taking them for 7 days after we leave the area. Hate putting chemicals into my body, but sometimes it is necessary.

Off to make myself a nice hot mug of fresh squeezed lime and honey. Then go and sit in the swing on my verandah while I contemplate the day and slowly think about what I will accomplish for the day.

Scotty

Scotfarmer, glad you got fixed. Did you check and make sure all the doc removed was gall parts?

I tried the shrew goo. Looks like I have a new problem now. Might order a NoNo.

Thats the movie mom. Was Ben kingsley in it too?
With a few of us on that island, many things would change.

NE frmhnd

Yeah, I got people to help me out. Might get kinda hungry in a couple weeks though.
Took a dulcola and an oxycodone before bed last night. Am feeling a touch better today. Kinda tough getting rolled in and out of bed without using stomach muscles.
Not sure if I want to try cereal or some hard-boiled egg whites for solid food. I do have the pudding yet....

Tallguy67

Good morning all y'all. It turns out I was not fed ajoles last night. There was a rapid conversation going on and I didn't keep up. We had gorditas. There is no such thing as an ajole (good thing, cuz that name is just wrong), she was referring to atole - a hot mexican drink with masa, cinnamon and sometimes chocolate.

I really want to get out and get the snow blown off the driveway today but that depends on Mother Nature. It is still brutally cold here but it is supposed to warm up a bit. If the temp goes up like it is supposed to and the sun comes out and the wind stays down, then snow blowing will happen. If Mother Nature remains grumpy then no outside chores for this boy today.

I just watched another episode of United States of Bacon. All I want to do now is go buy a couple of pork bellies and make some big batches of bacon and kielbasa. Cured and smoked pork is all good.

Play safe everyone.

Wheww Sean, I am glad to hear that.....I was sure hoping you had enough sense to spit it out when you are told you are eating ajoles

railroaderone
