I thought you were watching my cousin Vinny!

Wife needs pee breaks...
Just finished now.

Love the tri five Chevy 327 trick question. Have a 327 for my tri five, tho...

Oh, and Marisa's outfits! I remember why I fell in love with her as a teenager!

It’s a great scene and question. “The question is bullshit. It’s a trick question.”

Yes. She is quite a number!!

Lyrics to Travis Tritt's "Bible Belt" are pretty spot-on for the closing credits, too.

Goodnight all. Sweet dreams.

Most French people are quite happy to help with the language if you make an effort. They get, understandably, annoyed when visitors expect that they should all be able to speak English. And there are a lot of those people around. Also, when they learn English in school, it is mainly as a written language, so they have a palpable lack of confidence when speaking it.

The Italians are like that, too! They are overjoyed if you can manage a simple Buongiorno! (Good morning/day). Of course, they will let loose a torrent of Italian back at you! Most relish the opportunity to practice any English they have learned. Especially if you get out of the bigger cities.

 

[Lilianna23]

Up to go to the bathroom.... checked in...and now back to BED....

See u all soon!!

Did you have a good day?

 

[Lilianna23]

I should add they are bouncing with excitement

Same in Spanish; Germans are not as open, with me anyway, and I speak tourist level in both lingos.

Back to pester you all,after a week away. What a week too…so tiring and full of emotion as I got to cuddle my beautiful grandson and my daughter. I don’t mind saying I got emotional,a few time this week and blubbed. No stiff upper lip for this English Gentleman lol. All that matters is Mum and baby are well despite the trauma thank the Lord.

Also saw my elderly uncle and aunt, two cousins and second cousin and her husband and children. They are over from Canada so it was precious and rare family time and a lunch. On the way home we stopped off with my mum so I celebrated another birthday with her and got out for lunch. Not many guys in their late sixties get to see their Mom on their birthday.

So home now feeling so blessed and great to be back amongst you friends drinking my pissy tea.

That sounds like a wonderful trip, G! Welcome back!

This was the movie we were gonna watch right??

Absolutely! I'll make snacks and feed you all but you guys better leave some room for me on the couch. Otherwise, I'm lap sitting!

 

[Lilianna23]

Is that anything like "Get down on it"?

Did W catch that one?

Morning everyone View attachment 2423538

I need this blown up and hung in my kitchen! I looked at myself in the mirror when I got up and said, "Who the hell is THAT?!?"

 

[Lilianna23]

I woke up with lower back pain (understatement from hell) and couldn't move and ended up in the hospital for a few days. I have to see a physical therapist and have too many bulging discs in my back. I didn't know they were there and must have irritated them in my sleep somehow. Since out it has been getting better but movements are limited.

Oh, honey! I'm so sorry that happened to you!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am up. Good morning OM, Impy, and Wonderer

Good weekend, B2?

 

[Lilianna23]

I miss chasing Lilli but happy she is getting to bed earlier with sound sleep.

I slept in today which means not up at 4.

Today I see my girlfriend since she and her family went on a mini vacation. I also will be getting together with friends for football games.

Tomorrow I start baking and making vegetable soup.

I miss you chasing me, too! Maybe I should try to get on here during the day.

I baked today. Plumber guy brought his adorable 13 yo son with him today. We made cookies. He was my QC guy!

It's that time again...
Sweet dreams all

 

[Lilianna23]

I hope the PT helps. Avoiding surgery whenever possible is best. You situation reminded me of getting a smart watch. I live alone but if I had a back situation like yours, who would know?

Are you thinking of a life alert type?

 

[Lilianna23]

I managed to drive myself to the ER somehow. Drove 20 mph and barely made it through the ER doors. It was surreal. They did treat me well.

Oh, sweetie! I'm glad you got good care! Next time, if you're that bad, let the pretty EMS boys and girls bring you in! You will get taken directly to the back. They can also administer good drugs!

 

[Lilianna23]

Surgery as last last last last resort..... lilianna will agree....LAST RESORT

Absofuckinlutely! Especially on the back! PT is often the best choice but you do have to do the exercises.

 

[Lilianna23]

No one could know that he would pass in his sleep less than 48 hours later.

I'm so sorry, Likes!

I talked with my dad on his 23rd wedding anniversary. Two days later he was dead from a massive heart attack. I'm always grateful I was able to tell him I loved him.

Popping in quickly to say “hi”. After 3 days of snow we ended up with over 24” (some areas of the state got 37” or more). I tried to keep up with the shoveling, but at times it was futile. Luckily I have a snow blower which took care of the heaviest work this morning. Question, is it normal to use your heated seats in your SUV for your back pain? Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Using the heated seats is an ingenious way to deal with your back pain!

And 24 INCHES??? That would be "Day After Tomorrow" level for western WA!

 

[Lilianna23]

BSK - hope your back feels better soon
Really hope it wasn't that Heart Attack Snow
That's a real thing btw!! Thank goodness for snow blowers!
I've been wanting snow (more the hard freeze than the white stuff) but all we got today was rain

We got rain, too.

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank goodness some of those Black Friday sales have started early.
My PC sputtered and burped so many times last night...
let's just say today's grocery pick-up will hereafter be known as The Double Double.

Either that or The Noah's Ark Stock Up

I got a new laptop on Prime Day because my old Dell is about 10 years old. I was fearful it would die on me at an inopportune time. I'm frustrated now because I can't get my new laptop to see the two auxiliary monitors I have. The setup worked perfectly with my Dell. Not so much with this one. I talked with tech support yesterday. They will be calling me back on Monday as they couldn't replicate my problem.

 

[Lilianna23]

Glad you paced yourself. Hope your back feels better soon. Have to say, I love my Toro Electric Power Shovel Snow Thrower. I only have to clear my deck, front stoop, and a 3 foot (1 yard) strip in front of my garage door. Even so, some years it was back breaking. So I snapped one up when it went on sale.
