Wow! I don't think that I was aware of any of this going on. Maybe I've been sleep liking stuff too. I'll keep him and y'all in my thoughts and prayers, hun... definitely hoping for the best possible outcome here!!

I wasn't aware of it til yesterday! I knew his neck hurt and he couldn't move it, but kept asking for updates, and wasn't being told anything. I hadn't mentioned the neck thing, cuz I kept figuring they would figure out what it was and fix it. Having dealt with back pain/injury for over 30 years, I don't know WHY I thought that, but I did!

RIP Don Rickles, one very funny man.

Oh I so hate to hear that! I just loved him. He was such a brilliant comedian. Anyone remember CPO Sharkey??

Mornin Krewe! I slept about 3 hrs on the couch......I'm good to go!!

Good evening all! A lazy Friday.

Feeling livelier already, think I caught the bug early and taking it easy yesterday helped knock it out [emoji5]

About 4-1/2" of rain this past week, looking forward to some Warmer sunnier weather. Today was 1/2" of mixed rain/sleet/snow. The washer has been busy with dirty, wet, dog towels.

I picked up a dog clipper with a proper blade and combs for Aussies. The 3 shepherds are due for a trim this weekend, at least take in the feathers, belly fur, and sanitary. We'll experiment on the pups before doing Sidney [emoji3]

Hope the bug got knocked out! Yucko on the whether. Hate that wintry mix, rain, sleet and snow. Be careful out there! Good luck shearing the critters!!

Anyone interested, ecig.com has the predator 228 kit with a pair of LG HG2s for under $50 right now. Not sure how long the sale lasts.

For non ecig stuff, I wanted to do something to have decent music on our raft/boat this summer. I ended up picking up a vtin 20w Bluetooth outdoor speaker and a ruizo r06 Bluetooth mp3 player with add on 32gb Samsung microsd card.

I dun gud [emoji5]. The vtin has great sound, battery life is supposed to be excellent (25 hours at 70% volume). The mp3 player gets solid reviews, is basic except for BT which I wanted to use with the speaker. The 32gb card is enough for around 230 albums of 320kbps CBR music (very good sound quality on my car stereo, most people can't tell it from lossless encoding). The player has 8gb onboard storage, I can stuff specialty things like Christmas songs there.

DW needs an mp3 player for her car, and loves being able to have BT tune selection in the house. Looks like I may get another set of exactly the same gear; we don't need the ipx4 rating for indoors, but the max power, general audio quality, and reported excellent warranty coverage by seller makes a compelling case.

The ecig.Com sale sounds good, that's where I got my 2 SDNA from. The guy handling warranty claims was new, it took longer than it should have to get them to send the right paperwork to the manufacturer, but it did resolve fine [emoji5]

Anyone heard from @LynnNC? She's been in hiding?

 

[Bea-FL]

And what about Little Bird? Is she ok?

Saw Lynn on Thursday over there, but that's the only day all week I've seen her.

 

[clnire]

Lynn has the weekend off, so maybe she is prepping for some fun. @LittleBird , haven't heard from her in awhile... Hope she's OK!

 

[DingerCPA]

Thanks gang. Just wonderin.... still missin' @Kodak, @TheTinMan, @skullblade789 and others....

Well, getting ready to head to church. Our congregation has dwindled (and many have passed away) over the past few years. We've had to sell the building, and today we're going to have a work krewe there to start cleaning and packing. We have a temporary site until we decide where we'll get to set down new roots. Cathartic, but scary....

 

[markfm]

Hi all!

A lazy day. Started testing the clippers on the puppies; it'll take time, but I'm in no rush and want them to be comfortable with getting trimmed (treats time [emoji5]).

Water level is high at camp, as expected. I wanted to turn the water on, will go back tomorrow with a wetsuit. ( Both buildings are high and dry, just water on the ground around them.) Our lakeside picnic table floated inland 100' or so, and a heavy wooden bench seat stashed on top of it is missing, hopefully it'll turn up [emoji3]

That's sad, Dinger. Praying you all can find a suitable location.

How are they handling it so far?

So glad there was no damage! Hope your bench shows up. It might show up on a curb somewhere!

Bear is cool with it as long as he gets a treat every couple minutes [emoji5]
Maggie is more skittish, does okay if DW and I tag team her, so she getting pets and treats at the same time.

I'm going slow, just a bit at a time taken off, no rush.

Thank you, Dear One.... It's sad, but it's a good thing. Every once in a while, a little chlorine is necessary. I LOVE the people who are left. (I loved the people who left.) There are times where people need to re-evaluate their "philosophies", and if those don't jive with the "masses", they need to move on. If y'all haven't figured it out, I'm gay. There are "Christians" who are incredibly "judgmental". I'm sorry, but GOD is *MY* Judge. I am who I am (and that's all that I am). I'm not out to "convert" you. But, I love my Lord and my God. I believe He/She guides me to live my life the way in which I do. So, I live the way in which I do; I love whom I love. I believe that I have been put on this Earth to be as kind and as gentle as I possibly can be. "You" may not agree with my lifestyle, but take me for who I am.

(Kenna, this isn't directed at YOU - this is all just general statements.) SO reconnected with an old high school friend yesterday. I got to meet her and her hubby last night. SO was concerned that friend would "see" her "differently". Newp. (I even scored a couple of points ) We had a DELIGHTFUL time. I am "different" than who I was when I was in school, but I'm still really the same person. I just have accepted who I am supposed to be. To know me, and then to "find out" about me - *I* haven't changed. *I'm* no different than who I've been. I just want to love and be happy. As do we all.

So, my "frustrations" with "religion" and "Christians"...... I have my relationship with my Maker. It took me a LONG time to come back to church. I HATED the "politics" of "religion" - I still do. So, I'm looking forward to this "journey". I just pray that we can continue to share our love with *ALL* around us.

SO and I just clipped Demon Spawn's claws. He was WONDERFUL - didn't fuss, didn't fight, didn't strike out. I'm still considering getting his front paws declawed, but if he can continue to behave, I won't.

A big piece of beautiful Driftwood that was on our property boundary has drifted over to the dog pen, looks like that's where it'll stay. It looks like a chunk of dock framing has made it to our yard, too; that won't get touched, as the owners would probably like it back ( I'll float it towards the lake, tie it off to a tree)
