Jeez our power is still in and out. Lots of people haven't gotten it back yet. They are saying 2-3 more days.
After Hurricane Isabel here a few years back it took 8 days for us to get power back. Some places took o er two weeks. We're in the middle of a group of cities with well over 1 million folks. The people who lived out in the relative sticks took a long long time.

A good argument for underground utilities?

Not for me, although I don't happen to be imbibing yet today. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Just make sure, if and when you do, that you make sure and not get a DWD .. (That's "Drinking While Droning") .. also, I failed to mention previously that, I heard Amazon is hiring .. with your Postal Background as well as now being a Drone expert, you'd be a shoo in .. ;)

Oh by the way, the recliner is Willie's and watch out for Iffy and his noisy cushions. :lol:
only one of em.......the purple one is mine!

I'm 44, my husband is 69, he is 1 year cancer free,
that's fantastic!!! and glad ya found the back porch!

Just got back from a #$*^&$% colonoscopy. All clear on the western, er, southern front. Back. Bottom.
hate ya had to go through that, but glad all is fine. Still have never done this, but need to, trying to talk myself into it. My dad died of colon cancer, but I have real issues thinking that the procedure is a good thing to do, specially when snipping up in there if they find polyps etc. I know the worst part has to be the prep.

Kay did you mean to comment on the post about dad's funeral cause you didn't! :lol:
she did......but sometimes she gets her comment inside the quote.

can't do my Elvis's, my naked pics...nothing but this stupid avvie:grr:
at least ya got that much, maybe matt can get the others to work, and hopefully someone can help ya figger out the rest of why it's not working right.

Noper, they're not, including in your sig line... don't ask...
I miss yur dancin snoopy there. I see the insert so I picture it, but still miss it. He was so tiny wuz hopin he'd escape detection.

Damm Iffy..I'm gettin cross-eyed tryin to read your strange-speak!
hehehe I think I'm fluent in Iffynese now

dang it


I get reading and caught up and forget to multi quote so I can reply.

so...just...HI !
Hiya sweetie! Good to see ya pop in! Hope you can pop in on us in person in April and bring Robino with you!

Good morning Porchers! I hope it's a beautiful day in your neighborhood!!
awwwwwww you too hun! You're sorta in my neighborhood....texas style! Neighbors can be 200 miles apart.

Got my evic vtc mini from madvapes today. Looks awsome, but tiny.
oh those are smaller than I thought. Wahoooo though....and to you too Robert!!

Wow, hope it's on more than off. Started to type that a tad differently but it sounded really bad, so had to fix it! Just glad I noticed.

I've been through four of them and even though I am not looking forward to my next one, they are not that bad. I'll bet even Gary would agree. They give a honking shot of "I don't care" before hand. It's the prep that sux but even that has gotten better in the last few years. It depends on what you doc prescribes for prep. The gallon of stuff is pretty bad but, the have something that's only a pint of so now that is much better from what I understand. If you doctor says you need one, you really should get one. Generally by the time you can detect the signs of colon cancer it's too late. We definitely want you around a while longer girl!

one mentioned it once, but no one else has, which really surprises me since I'm 52 and the history. that's really kinda sad no one is talking to me about this. At some point I'll likely bring it up to them, I just have to get over the feelings of cuttin on stuff up there isn't a good thing to do and maybe causes or worsens stuff.

I may make light of the colonoscopy, because it is, after all, such an easy "target" .. however, there are alternatives available that are generally low cost .. the FIT test is cheap and if administered yearly, is as good an indicator as an every 10 year regular colonoscopy with an 80% detection rate .. there is the sDNA test as well ..

The problem with some getting a colonoscopy for many is the cost as well as the discomfort and hassle .. alternative, lower cost screening procedures can be effective in detecting whether or not further examination is needed .. the traditional colonoscopy is another example of a low cost, high profit procedure that the Medical Community pushes, knowing full well less costly alternatives are available ..
