Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[Iffy]

Get my new feet and ankles on Thursday.

I'll be able to take a shower standing up first time for that in 9 years.

Pat, that's absolutely wonderful news!

It is also a lucrative business for people to scam with needed surgeries when there is no surgery needed...

Ummm, do believe we also have too many within our own borders...

 

[misswish1]

Be safe & be happy!

 

[Iffy]

May the 'Christmas Star' guide you and yours to the peace we all desire/seek!

Luv all y'all...

Yes, it is officially Christmas Eve. 24 hours of A Christmas Story has started on TNT. I saw it for the first time when I was stationed in Japan. My Senior Chief had recorded a copy off of AFRTS. For those not familiar, AFRTS is the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service or as we called it A-Farts. I have watched it every year since, well, when I was in an area that had it.

Capt. America is preetty good but I got a bigger kick out of Deadpool, definately not for the kiddies but pretty funny for a superhero movie.

1/2 way through episode 4 of The Stand. Have seen it probably 4 times and I still love it.

Geordi's Best in show pics From early November, he was 19 months old. Not the best picture, but he was nervous so I didn't set his feet or mess with him. Quick shot, done! Good boy!

Gorgeous! Just can't wait to see what he does when he matures. Good as he is now, he'll be amazing later!

In my childhood Mom and I used to bake all kinds of goodies for Christmas. Good memories.

I've been hoping my dil and I could do this, but she spends a lot of the week at her mom's house

I think I heard every one of those except the one about spinach. I loved spinach.

lol think I said most of those, cept the spinach.....my son loved it too

If you can help it, never take meloxicam, it put a hole in my stomach a few months ago. I am going to try celebrex.

I took Meloxicam for a good while. No damage I don't think, but also have GI appt in Feb, upper and lower. Kenna has talked so much about celebrex, hope it works for you. I have finally remembered to put it on my list of things to talk to the doc about, so hopefully can remember to do it. The etodolac they put me on after the meloxicam does nothing.

Mackelton T Infidel. He's chewing his Christmas pig knee. He carries it around with him like a baba.

Ahhhhhhh, Tropical!

Ya, with Christmas coming up, then my b-day and then New Years, this is oour time of the year to hibernate and let the world pas us by. I can't even get excited about bashing the local antz with another stinging article right now. I'm just too filled with Christmas spirit I guess.

Well happy birthday to you!!!

Happy Birthday Classie.

and happy belated birthday!!! Averaging you and Von, I'm right on time for both!

What a relief!!! Thank you Debadoo, and thank you Diver!

yw, but thanks goes to Diver. She said she'll try to pop on. She's doing ok, but has just been going through quite a bit. A lot of changes, but didn't get the idea that it was all bad. She didn't wanna talk about her business at work, but said she'd call me later and fill me in. As diver said, it made her feel sooooooo good to know she was missed.

Now the BF-converted Hobo is sittin' on the BF Dripmod box - and working fantastically I might add! Been rockin this combo ever since, and luvin' it.

wahoooooooo look at you go!

Watch out World of BF - I finally got my toe in the door and I ain't turning back now.

hehehe told ya it would git ya! A lotta folks are liking the coppervape mod from FT. But ya just can't beat a Reo for quality and longevity even though they are pricey.

Not some of my best work, but I thought some might enjoy...


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through ECF
Not a poster was stirring, not even a mod;
The wick and wire were waiting by the fireplace with care,
In hopes that their new Nauti 5 soon would be there;

The ECF’rs were pacing the floors with dread,
Visions of their new shinnies’ danced in their heads;
The Ladies in their 'kerchiefs, and Men in their cap,
Had not settled down for their regular nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
They sprang to see what was all the matter.
Away to the window they flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The sun was abreast of the new-fallen snow
It gave the lustre of mid-day to the shinnies’ below,
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But their long waited USPS driver - he was now using reindeer,

With a little old driver, not so lively and not so quick,
They knew in a moment that this sure wasn’t no St. Nick.
Faster than a China Delivery his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, ! now, DELIVERY! now, PACKAGE and ADDRESSEE!
On, SERVICE! on STAMP! on, SCANNED and TRACKER!
To the top of the driveway! to the mail box we go!
Now dash away! dash away! to the next house by the snow!"

As smokeless vapor that swirled around and around,
Never a doubter, could hardly be ever found ,
So up to my own mail box the reindeer flew,
With the sleigh of shinies, and the USPS Driver too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard like a spoof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I vaped on what was in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the sidewalk the USPS driver came with a bound.

He was dressed all in khaki’s, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of shinnies’’ he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a modder dressed in what was not tact.

His eyes were squinting as his lungs became full!
His cheeks puffed as he blew clouds like a bull
His mouth was drawing up for another vape,
And his chest was expanding till it had all it could take;

The Provari topped with a Nauti he held tight in his fist,
The vapor encircled his head as he checked his list;
He had a broad face and a big old belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, as delivery men are,
And I laughed when I saw him, even from afar;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the tanks; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, all coils were wicked and clean as a rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-VAPE-NIGHT!

lol that was cute!!

Well we haven't been about the porch much this week. Been a busy week. Kaitlin, Brian and Huxley have came in last weekend and we've been doing a lot of family time. We'll be celebrating Christmas tomorrow with Michael, Rachel, Miles, Kaitlin, Brian, and Huxley all together ... what more could we ask. Kate and her family fly out on Christmas day for Arizona to be w/ Brian's Dad before heading back to Colorado.

So Janet's been baking ... this is our traditional Dobas Torta ... although Janet kicked it up a notch with a fancy top.

Been so nice having Kate and Hux around for the week.

Ain't he a cutie ... he likes to smile ... he's a happy baby.

Michael's been around a couple days and we had Mile's around too this week. This is his 'just off the boat at Ellis Island' look.

But this is he real look ... he's already a huge fan of Batman ... not a surprise so is my son.

Just love having both the grand babies around this week.

Wonderful pics of your family!!! those boys are so adorable.

I It Semi!

Mike and Janet, looks like love and happiness

Sunday to son's house for dinner with his dear wife and her family, Monday to So FL for hubby's aunt's , probably last, birthday. She will be 90 but has been very ill. Time with his family, 1 night in a motel. Hubby's wife is the older of the sisters. She is hanging in, but I fear when her sister is gone it won't be long. Sorry for the downer, didn't mean it to be. We will be celebrating life, Chaunaka (hubby is Jewish), Christmas, and a New Year.

am sorry to hear this, especially at this time of year, but jup.......celebrating life is essential!

Get my new feet and ankles on Thursday. They are the latest in electronic microprocessor technology. I can even control certain features of them with an app on my phone. They will go out flat so you can get regualar pants on plus they are water resistant to 3' for 30min so with the covers they make I'll be able to take a shower standing up first time for that in 9 years.

that's great!!!

Watching my favorite Stephen King of all times "The Stand"

Not my fav, but I do like it. Have that one either on VHS I think. Have had it for a long time. don't remember if I got that one replaced on dvd or not

Learning that leisurely use of exercise bicycle prevents burning muscles. Trying to act athletic is counterproductive to becoming more athletic. Physical therapy for tendinitis.

yuck. hope it's much better quickly!

Ginny is going to fix the mailman his yearly Christmas cookies and other goodies and trudge out to the mailbox with it. Same mailman for at least 12-15 years good guy.

I so meant to do this and completely forgot cuz I was busy making 9 lemon cakes for Christmas gifts for dil's family, my sil and some dear friends.

but lowest has been at night & maybe mid to high 30's a couple of times this month.

we were in the teens here for at least one night, maybe two. Don't remember, my brain froze!

This is my Aunt Helen

And my dog Bowser

Notice the family resemblance

lmao!! those were hilarious!! Pretty lipstick ya got there.

i bought a water fountain for little spazzy

oh kewl........hope she likes that more than the still water in a bowl.

Hope everyone has a tremendously blessed Christmas and new year!!!
