Good luck today HDH.

Was wearing my first cav hat yesterday so popped it in there!

Thanks buddy! Hope your procedure went as well as mine!

The blood panel came back mostly good. Cholesterol a few points over what they like to see but the concern was my glucose was high…diet exercise…blah blah blah…. I get the CT scan mañana so that will be the big reveal. When I checked in they were like, it’s going to be a month…then he said, “oh, just had a cancelation!” I can’t believe I’ve been able to knock this stuff out before Christmas. Oh, and my PA was cute as a bug!

I don’t even recall the time change making a difference. I don’t remember getting much sleep in the army at all. Def remember long days and nights, that’s for sure.

I don’t really care what time they keep it to. Whether it’s lighter longer or making earlier. Just stop it with the changing clocks. His time of year is rough for me any way you Slice it. These short days fuck me up. They start getting longer next week.

Yep same way it feels in the summer when the days start getting shorter. The season is over before it started.
When I moved down here to Virginia I was shocked at the difference in day light in winter. Our days are close to 30 minutes longer than NJ.
I’m a weird one and like it to get dark early in the cooler months. The hour change is simple to trick for me. I just go to bed the night before the change so I wake up on new time the same time I would any other day. If I wake up early or late going to sleep an hour earlier usually does the trick.
So far sleep is good for me. I attribute it to when I was young. My parents made us go to sleep early. Like 730 early still light in summer time. We were never ever sent to our rooms for punishment. You bedroom was only a place for good things and sleep. Now being off two years I sleep when body says sleep which is usually between 9 and 10. Wake up anywhere from 630 to 11. When I go back to work I am going to miss getting up when my body clicks on.
I will also say since last year when i quit drinking coffee, I feel like I sleep even better. I have less headaches too.

Some of those things are like the cars I drool over, I'll never afford one. It's a rich collectors market for a lot of that stuff!

Here showmasters hosts the nations gun show every few months in the expo center. I had to quit going. The prices hurt my feelings. Not anyone can own the gun they want. I’ll be happy with what I have.

I love when I find all the docs and nurses appealing. Makes the visit all that much better even with bad news.

 

[dkak001]

I've never used one, or know nothing about that brand. Hope it works for you!

I should qualify, I have used both 3.5 and 5.25 inch floppy disk drives. What I have NOT used a USB version of one.
It should work just fine, tho!

The best part is she laughed at all my stupid jokes! .

We have two major Health groups here in town. I’ve used the rival one before just due to the fact that’s where I was sent. This trip was exceptional from check in to check out. A pleasant doctors visit…who knew?

I was fearful when I switched from my companies group policy to Obama care. I miss my doctor. But the big hospital doctors where I go now I am pleasantly surprised. I do read the bios and am selective. So far nothing wrong I’ve not seen a doctor yet only PAs. Seems like they did all the work in the past anyway.

My nephews girlfriend just broke up with him over a text...then blocked him....

My nephew is better off because their lives were going in different directions. They were sure unevenly yoked in relation to lots of things and her mothers are a nightmare. One is an alcoholic. The other is manipulative and has lots of untreated mental health issues....except for the pot and other sundry methods she uses to treat....

I have never been so grateful for a breakup in my life. That being said..

what a little bitch to break my boys heart...he is a prize and if I was a girl mom I would be happy to have him dating my nephew. I am not just saying this... he is so respectful and kind and just a good boy..... over a text.... really...little bitch.... she better not come sniffing around again.... she has done this twice... she doesn't get a 3rd chance with me

Snipe has a different meaning for me. Kind of bitchy, snarky, condescending, snotty.

"All she could do was snipe at the others,"

Yes, sniping at someone.
And while the rest of the world hunts wild snipe, we in the US know the Snipe Hunt as a practical joke. That's what comes to mind for me whenever a snipe hunt is mentioned.

Stand your ground! I'll back you 1,000%. Life is too short for trash like her.
I've been around a long time & I've been married 47 years to a very loving woman, to know the good from the bad.

I remember doing Snipe hunts as a Boy Scout. It was an initiation with the new scouts sending them out with bags “hunting” for the imaginary creatures. I was shocked when I found out later in life that there is an actual Snipe.

 

[cowboyup6977]

Sending them out with two rocks and a sack
Bang them together and say
Here Snipe snipe snipe
Never laughed so hard

Ok folks, I’m just not feeling it today. I found out yesterday that my boss will be out for another two months so I get to do his job as well as mine. It’s not his fault, he needs to get his health issues squared away, it’s just that I did the job for 8 months before he was hired and I haven’t seen much out of him in the 9 months he has filled the seat. Now I’ve got to pay catch up, right when the team is starting their holiday vacays. I can’t get into the Christmas spirit, God knows I’ve tried but it’s not happening this year. I’ll put on a happy face for my family, but I don’t see the joy this year. Between work, the holidays, and this new sleep schedule the VA wants me to do I’m exhausted. I’m not a risk to myself or to others, I’m just mentally and physically worn out.

Why not???

They do not fit your criteria.

Good Morning everyone
Today is a much better day. Thanks for all the well wishes & prayers. It is greatly appreciated.
It's sunny here and the forecast temperatures looks good too so we're going out antiqueing in Greenville Ohio (a short drive) if Mrs Rj is up to it.
Talk later...

Have a wonderful time - even if all you do is drive around in the sunshine for a bit and soak in the rays.

 

[likes2watchU]

Good morning everyone. I see I wasn’t the only member of the 3 AM club this morning. Here’s hoping that today is a better day than yesterday.

Hope you all age a great day and I’ll pop in as I get a chance. Y’all stay safe.

I didn't punch the time card, but was present for the 2, 4, and 6 am club meetings.
Will need to do better at front-loading my hydration.

 

[likes2watchU]

I've been dumped by text and then ghosted for over a week. Seriously not cool!
I agree - she's used up all 3 strikes with this double-hitter.

Agreed, RJ. Let's hope he finds someone nicer and kinder with better social skills next time.

I am so sorry, BSK. Exhausting and demoralizing.
Hope you find your groove again at work.

Yes - lots of hugs needed!!! Big hugs!!

Two days this week skip next week. I'll still go to gym but my scheduled day is Wednesday so we will just avoid the entire week.

We had these. They were Jarts.
Now they have a game with two balls on each end of a rope to try and snag on bars at different level.
The women of the house fondly call it testicle toss.

Yep, we have it. I played with Jarts and the ball toss game. I think Jarts was more fun!
