Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

[BrotherBob]

Good morning all.

Today I go in for yet another checkup with my doctor

Wishing you the best.
Everyones (or should be?)health is Number One. Physical first then mental (vaping).

good morning porchers

I love those cabinet pulls Janet! Going to look nice.

Geordi was a good boy and slept through the night. Out first thing anddid his "business". He does have a set of lungs, however. Last night I was on my laptop, Bob was reading so we locked him in his pen. Whoo hoo that boy can scream!

Found my cabinet hardware at PullsDirect.com. The round one is smaller than the long one, but that's the way the picture came out. They'll be mixed between the drawers and cabinets. Sure hope I like how they look in person as in the picture.

so how has "rocking"chair, "rock n roll", "rock on" and such come into play?

rock:
: to move (someone or something) back and forth or from side to side
: to cause (something) to shake violently

The phrase 'rock and roll' probably originated with sailors while asea. Later (circa 1920s) it became a popular double entendre referring to either dancing or sex.

I am so disappointed in that series. I had to put away any expectation of historical accuracy & just watch it as if it were a cheap historical fiction novel based in the time & surrounding events, complete with mustache twirling villian. As far as I'm concerned it is massively overhyped, a corruption, mockery, & insult to the history of the State of Texas, & to those who fought & died at Gonzales, the Alamo, Goliad, & San Jacinto, & every place in between. This could have been an awesome project. Instead it is a lost opportunity. I would feel differently if it had been promoted differently.

Totally agree with you! It started out great and went downhill rather quickly.

Surprise, surprise, surprise...........my blood work numbers were all good. The doctor was happy about my numbers. My blood pressure was 100/60. The blood sugar is under control. Now, if I could just get my mind out of that dark hole it seems to have slipped into.

Me likey! I hope they turn out like youve envisioned them. It would be hard to try to find something else once you have those in your head!

Hey, Roto, those good numbers are great news! Yippee!

Now you can allocate some of that dark hole real estate to worry about your computer's fritziness that you were telling us about.

Great news, Roto! Are you taking any vitamin D? Working nights has been a problem with my ex, my daughter, & now my grandson. And even me since I started vaping & am not sitting out on the porch geting lots of sunshine & vit D. Low D causes depression. My Dr had me raise both my calcium & D for the first time, ever at my ladt visit. If it'll stop raining I'll start sitting outside some again.

 

[clnire]

Great checkup Roto! I agree about the vitamin D.

Oh, so happy to read this.......

couldn't agree more about Vit.D.......most women and some men are seriously deficient in it, and once they start, feel a mighty difference....my naturopath put me on a double dose years ago, and even though I live in Florida, we older folk don't absorb the 'D' as well as we did when younger so I continue to take it, but now take only 5K I.U.

I'm seriously thinking about it but, how do I get everyone involved, specially if it's a weekly show.

I'm very proud of my daughter. Yesterday she finished replacing the ball bearings in her front wheels. It took her a couple of weeks off and on to remove the old ball bearings, get a shop to press the new ones, and replace them and get the car back together.

So, about $150 in parts and labor compared to about $1000 to get someone to do it for her. She does most of the work on her cars herself.

As a result, we now have 2 cars to drive, and I'm not riding the bus anymore. Yay, Melinda!

That's fantastic. You go girl!!! Now that's a real definition of thrifty.

The mixer

and the mic and headphones.

Those are great numbers. Keep it up and you'll be running circles around the rest of us.

Thanks Deb, Home from surgery. Ate Chick-Fil-A. Going to take a long nap now. Had to check in else I'd be so far behind reading I'd never catch up.

Nope, don't think they'd pull very much!! Plus, I think the screws would have to be a bit bigger.
