Excellent advice, B2! Wanna hang out here with the nurses?

Oh yeah

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Thank you, B2! ️

Did your friend buy a battery from the AAA guy? That's highway robbery!

No but did from the dealership. It’s the same robbery as far as I’m concerned!

Today was a half frustrating day, half satisfying one. I didn't sleep well and woke up too early. My nephew called me last night to tell me his dad died.

It's still raining and I'm thinking I might need to band together with my friends and neighbors on a ark.

I tried to go to my dr office today. Got on the fwy and noticed too late it was stopped. It was closed both ways for flooding. It took me about 45 minutes to go 1/4 of a mile to the next exit where DOT was forcing everyone off. I called in and got my appointment changed to 0930 tomorrow morning.

0930!!! Who gets up that early???

I'm gonna call when I wake up to see if I can do this virtual.

When I got home, I took care of some business stuff that needed tookening. TM Wat

Then I baked.

I'm headed to bed now. Because I'm a fucking idiot and scheduled an appointment for 0930!

I’m sorry you folks are getting the atmospheric river. I saw some video of roads washed away. I’m glad you’re safe.

About 930 am - that’s a late appointment by this early morning person.

I gained several pounds just looking at your pictures of baked goodies. Yum.

I found a recipe for ginger molasses bars. I have to make them

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Off to load out of the Scrotel13 and go to the site for a couple of hours and then go to the office for Forced Frolicking. There won't be h000rs. There should be food.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning Wat, Wonderer and Sub.

Today is decoration of tiny Christmas tree by my granddaughter! My companion in life (CIL) will assist. It will be a happy time.

This is last day before the deep freeze!

Another long day of work shitz. I cut out at 4 for an appt w the oral surgeon (heh heh… I said oral)

I thought I was getting the implant screwed into my jaw today but they just took an xray to measure for the surgical screw to be put in.

mrs. wonderer had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes ready for me when I got home. yum!!

Then some NCAA volleyball tournament. My daughter played volleyball all through college so we really like it! She is coaching now.

Hope everyone who is struggling with health issues is feeling better and gets the help they need.

You said screwed.......hahahaha

 

[Missk_2022]

I see. Is it still on?

Reruns i think

 

[Missk_2022]

Neti pots are great. Nasal flushing can also be done (carefully!) in the shower. Tilt your head. Let the water run into the upper nostril and out the lower.

Cant do it

 

[Missk_2022]

My tunmy is rumba rumba grumbling

We were Neti Potting round here for a bit. Then I heard something about ameba’s getting in the brain from tap water? We started using distilled water but then we’d run out and SWMBO insisted it be heated and it all got too much…I might be on the lazy side…

Range day! Happiness is a warm barrel when it’s 35f out. Everyone stay safe and warm…is it Fritag?

——Scottish Christmas Castle MZ——

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I know. It has me wonderin' like a Wonderer kinda person . . . .


I don't wanna go to Texas, but I will go to Texas under the right circumstances.

SWMBO is from TX…DiL is from TX with a keen interest in homesteading…we have more family our age in TX due to both gals big families…my job I can switch domiciles weeek to weeek…land is relatively cheap in W TX…not a lot of downsides but one.

Momma ain’t mov’n.

So, here we sit.

 

[dkak001]

Uh, oh! I'm sorry you got bad news, DKA. is this something you can get ahead of?

Maybe some of it. We've been trying to get ahead of this for several years now...

Sorry for your troubles and your loss sweetie. . Hang in there. Those goodies look good BTW!

I saw a vid of a swollen river and the guy said it was the road to Leavenworth…I wonder if it’s the Leav, WA we’ve been talking about?

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Maybe some of it some of it. We've been trying to get ahead of this for several years now...

Sorry to hear the bad news DKak…hang in there.

 

[dkak001]

So, you're saying if I can get it to you, you can fix it?

For something like this, certainly!

At least the dealership is only going to screw me out of money, not destroy my car.

Most likely true.

In this case, you can afford it? Maybe annoying, but affordable repair?

It's those down on their luck single moms, who can afford only junk cars who end up really getting screwed. We have a friend, who I've ended up helping a few times. Sometimes that means even buying the parts for her. No car = no job...

Again, the guys in the shop gotta make a living too...

I rode in one of those. Was great fun.

Rumble seat is a great place to throw candy for kids in parades.

Maybe not as great in a thunderstorm, tho...

It is called a rumble seat. Why?

I looked it up,

• Origin of Name: Likely came from the vibrations ("rumble") felt by passengers sitting in the open rear.

 

[dkak001]

I worked for decades and retired from and automotive industry in manufacturing. We would have a "shutdown" for two weeks to swtich over to the new model year. It was two weeks of Saturdays because we worked thru the weekends too and long hours. One time I passed out because my blood sugar went too low and I didn't eat.

In a previous life I worked on building those lines too. Nothing like working non stop twelves.
Hard to find time to eat or do laundry when there isn't even enough time for sleep.

Aren't you supposed to be careful of the water source?

As in, if you have a well isn't the water supposed to boiled first? (Then cooled off some, too?).

So, here we sit.

I started that whole moving out West conversation with Dr Tyler earlier this year. She knew my plans, and she knew that I was committing to her upkeep and so on and so forth. I told her that taking her with me would happen, and she started talking about what a pain medical care would be coming back-and-forth from out West to her doctors here. That was where she started to argue on the concept of changing doctors. Of course, she could be very defiant anyway. Obviously, now, it’s a mood point. Suffice it to say, I know what you mean.
