Holy cow we are on page 2 already?
I'm not sure I can keep up with all of you!
Teel
Welcome HOME!!!!! We kept the homefires burning for you
I hope they have gotten you stablized and more comfortable. I'm sure you didn't get any substantial rest at the hospital so take it easy for the next few days, ok?
Mel if you lived in the country with Roseblush, you wouldn't need batteries, we'd just hitch you up to a nice wagon so you could get out and admire those wide open skies. I think I might have seen your super chair on the news today. This one raises you so that you can talk to people at eye level (I didn't realize till I thought about it that you must spend alot of time having to talk to people's noses rather than their eyes). However a good lot of us here are just above the 5 foot level so most of us could look at you straight on. This chair also can actually climb stairs! I think it was called an IBOT or something but it sounded a bit like what you were describing. Really cool.
Shad, I didn't realize that your son was looking into buying the house next to you. That will be nice. Tell him he has to finish helping you renovate your house before he starts on his
Hope everything works out for him. Give our love to Teel when you talk to her if you haven't already rung her up.
Linus, you know that you'd lose half of your funny stories if you went and lent out your children.
Peacock, nice to see you back again. I too have often wondered with the blood pressure machine, will you keep squeezing until my arm pops right off? It gets to the point where it hurts and they give it a few more squeezes for good measure.
Wow Roseblush, it's seems you are custom made for this group here! You share many similar interests and after a while and some gentle prodding
we'd get you to see things our way anway - no, not really
It's a fine group of people here. Boy you really ARE in the middle of the wilderness, aren't you? My husband and I are into astronomy and I'll bet we'd get some fine observing out by you. I am jealous you get to see all the good meteor showers. Perhaps we should set up our commune by Roseblush girls. But wait, aren't your winters rather BRUTAL? I would imagine that after a day of body tiring physical therapy work that it's pretty hard not to come home and just pop the easiest thing into the oven and sit in a chair for exercise, isn't it? But welcome, we're all struggling and nudging each other here.
Well. Ahem.
I have set April 16th as my quit smoking date. I had wanted to lose some weight before I quit but that is slow in coming. I have set my date as the first day of my vacation because I am going to a smoker unfriendly state (California) and will be in a situation where it will not be easy to smoke. That is also right before my birthday and one of my committments was to quit by my birthday. The real challenge will be when we get to Las Vegas where you can pretty much smoke freely all over. But I'm hoping 7 days down and I will be strong. (Besides DH would leave me out in the dessert if I started again). Wish me luck. I will need it. A tiny part of me does not want to stop tho most of me knows I need to and should. I hope that's enough to overcome the weak part of me. And I am really really afraid of gaining weight again which I know will happen. That's what sent me back to smoking again after I quit the last time. But I am getting some prescription drugs to help, I have an online smoking cessation program to help me prepare and I have announced to both my mom, sister and DH that I am quitting. DH is sceptical but supportive. That's my news for the day. Have a great weekend everyone.
Raven, I hope you can find your way back here again! And has Shaker run off with Annie? Worrysome as it is hot cross bun season you know
