Rave, that is excellent good news. But will continue to speak a good word for you and Blues, both. It sounds like he has a strong constitution and good doctors.
Are Dave and Lexi doing well?

You guys all have me puddled up with your kindness. :cry:

By the way, before things went bad for Blues, he was able to read through a lot of your well wishes personally. He was absolutely speechless because y'all made him feel so cared about. That really meant a lot to him. I'm sure he'll be back when he can get untethered from his monitor again.

Dave and Lexi are both doing great. Lexi loves the snow and gets "the zoomies" and then eats the stuff. We got another 4" of it yesterday on top of our 12" from Winter Storm Euclid.

I have to share this. It's amazing.

I just found the link to the story behind this huge snow sculpture. If you're curious as I was, go to Snow Sculptors Create Massive Horse Sculpture in NE China --NTDTV.org

WOW!!! That's amazing!

OK, here's an age test for everyone, especially the birthday girls!

Hey - I'm older than dirt, and I don't know what that is. Maybe that just means I'm old and feeble-minded. :unsure:

So good to see so many old acquaintances here, and so many great new people, too! :)

My life has been upside down for over a year now, and I've nearly abandoned most of my ECF threads, due to illness & business.

Lost: two 17 yr-old kitties and one Mom; my beloved old house in KC (I moved); and all my dear, dear friends in KC.

Found: a couple of amazing juice vendors; my way around parts of my new "home" town; and not much else.

Rave, you and Bluesman are both in my prayers.

Goodbye and good riddance to 2012. May 2013 bring ALL of us a much better, healthier and happier year! :)

Eleanor!! It's sooo good to see you again! I'm sorry that you had such a cruddy year. It's been a rotten year for so many. :( Better days ahead!

Well I hope for better luck next year... Too much tragedy this year. (All over the globe)
P.S. A friend of mine died on December 25. Just got back from the funeral.

Oh Chief. I'm so sorry. encourage.gif

Thank you again Folks - for the vibes and prayers.!! It must be workin'.
Keep lovin' on those critters in Blues' honor.


:)

Well Sandy Su it just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read on the Internet!:laugh:

At least I have wished you an early Happy Birthday.

BTW folks, You do not need a lot of talent to apply a coat of stain, let it dry, and spray it with a coat or two of spray clear coat. The boxes are available on line from Hobby Lobby in various sizes. I just happen to have a store here in town and found one cheap. I was going to make one with hobby lumber from Lowes, but just the boards in oak or birch were more than the price of the box already constructed from Hobby Lobby.

PS: I know what that thingy was and I have a few with my 45 collection.

Shhhhh... Rabbit! You're not suppose to say!

The proof that you are talented is the fact that it was so effortless for you. Someone like me would have the stain on everything BUT the box. ;)

I have been reading the forum and the Internet on storage solutions for vaping and found several hundred dollar plus ideas and even one hand made for vaping which was cool, sooooooo I also researched unfinished boxes and found one at Hobby Lobby. It is 14" X 9" and 5" deep, which will at least get the clutter off of my desk and somewhat organized. The best part is that it was only $17.00 (unfinished). Since I have a workshop full of "stuff", it only took me a couple of hours to put in some dividers and stain it.

Top pictures are of the plain unfinished chest and the bottom is stained and loaded up.

Awesome Rabbit! Nice woodworking. You should consider making those as a side hobby!

And I saw something on another forum that reminded me of you:

Ask and ye shall receive, Marlou!

I just got an update:

"Blues is okay and sleeping. His heartbeat is still a little irregular but his blood pressure is steady. They have him on IV antibiotics for the infection. The doctor says he expects him to be fine, it's just going to take a little longer than expected."

Okay - maybe I can breathe and sleep now! *whew* :)
great news rave..now catch up on your beauty sleep..

Rave, I hear that bacterial infections are pretty common after surgery. His immune system is so focused on the cuts and grafts that the bugs slipped through. Plus he's in a hospital - bacteria galore! Once the antibiotics kick in, he'll be back in no time! ;)
...but maybe tell him not to try vaping for awhile. He doesn't need anything going into his lungs but air.

My condolences, Chief. Loss is never easy.

And happy belated birthday, CatLady!
