Well. I'm feeling just civilized enuf to pop in for a minute.

To make a long boring story short...about three weeks ago I fell down...but didn't realize that I broke a pelvic bone in my right hip, the one that has a new ball n joint. So I've gone way back in the recovery time...and I'm not pleasant to be around when I'm so p.o.d and depressed.Anyone with any sense at all that knows me steers way clear till I give the green light so to speak. It's still not green but maybe a mild red...

Bye for now...

That's what happened to my 93 yr old MIL. She is doing just fine. So keep your chin up.

Crazy all the crap going on in the world lately. I'm tired and have an early day tomorrow. {{{hugs}}} to all!

"coke" = carbonated beverage having nothing to do with coca cola brand
I lived in Toms River, NJ for a while a long time ago. Me and my girlfriend went to pick some stuff up from the local store. One of the things we were supposed to pick up was some soda. I was going down the baking aisle and my girlfriend asked what I was getting. I told her soda, it took her quite a while to stop laughing.

Well. I'm feeling just civilized enuf to pop in for a minute.

Haven't had a real rootbeer in years
Oh yum, when I was in Logan, UT doing some training, my class decided that they wanted to make some root beer. It was the first time I had had homemade root beer and it left a very good memory for me. I was also surprised how it was made.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
<snap!>
I knew I forgot something!

Ridiculous lightning, thunder and rain for the past hour. My power went out a couple of times. I'm just glad that my Internet didn't get fried again.

Also, there's a frog that hangs out outside my side door.... either that frog or a member of his family has regularly taken shelter on many wet occasions in the groove that runs around the outside of the aluminum storm door.

Picture when I can find him, because today he hopped inside when I opened the door, and then under the kitchen table and under the freezer, I think. Quick little bugger. Catch and release, but I'll have him pose for a picture first.
where is the frog?,,, frogs are super important creatures,, they are like 1 level more sensitive to the environment=anything wrong with the frog and your next. pops would have us watch for deformed frogs etc.. he was real big on organic when it wasnt cool.

we built a huge koi pond once,,, and decided to test the water with about 100 goldfish,, every day we would lose a lot of gf,, so my husband was blaming our fat cat,, one night he went out there and sat,, found a huge bullfrog enjoying gf buffett! lol

at that same house we had a 12 car concrete driveway,, if you wanted to leave you had to go chase off the frogs or have a bloody mess to clean up when you got back.. only hit 1 frog ,,, and we felt bad about it. (we love nature,, and love it even more when it wants to live with us) where i live now ,, it all about not hitting deer or turtles.

We just went to a so called smart phone about a month ago - the only reason I gave up my flip phone is because my phone company said they were disconnecting my 12 year old flip phone from the network as of 1 Sep. Decided to go ahead and try an upgrade...
P still misses his flip phone and had a really difficult time getting used to his Galaxy! He still liked the flip phone better.

Haven't had a real rootbeer in years - unless you count A&W...
Oh, root beer was my absolute favorite when we were drinking sodas...neither of us even touch sodas today.

Aaah, so that's what's been happening to our gold fish!!! We've been re-supplying our pond with a dozen every 10 days or so, and they are disappearing........so it's the frogs!! Yet, we've had frogs in here for years and we never had this problem.
Turtles! We stop our car and pick up turtles from the middle of the road and escort them to the other side. Of course we make sure no cars are behind us! Deer hits are very common here, unfortunately.

Drum roll please...

Geordi and I got our first point toward his championship! Actually, his breeder showed him in the class, I took him in for Best of Winners (best boy and best girl) and he won! He stood for the exam and we played and had fun in the ring. Both his breeder and I are very pleased with his progress.

Wishing everyone and their families safety and health.

Geez, I wonder if that's what happened to our 'peepers'. Every spring at night when we'd drive the road along a small creek with a lot of wet low ground we'd hear the chorus of peepers. The last couple years they've been missing.

i hope not,, but low lying ground is perfect for chemical wash off.
