Not unusual for me to be up at this hour. I have no sleep or wake schedule. Going to catch some more zzz now too.
Sounds like me when I walk around the back of my truck and I forget that the trailer hitch is in. Shin pain in extreme. Not to mention the huge goose egg and the un-printable comments I have for removable hitches & my own dumb A.I was too busy that night to think about ice. It hurt quite nicely. And, yes, I bruised up quite well.
Good morning, Porchers!
Up early this am and will be out the door soon, so hope to catch you all a bit later.
Willie, you are loved for exactly who you are, and your presence here is a vital one, so please, know that!
Ok, seems to me that Uncle Willie is in the dumps feeling that he's worthless and offensive. This from me who rarely wears a shirt at Deb's and drinks alot of beer. Teenage angst is un-becoming for a Man of his talents and years, yes I sometimes feel I really should shut up and not come around ,but I keep around to yak with my friends and I'd be worse off to go hide in my own little corner. So let's offend Willie and rouse him outta depression. If He feels that he can't give to the family, let's remind him of all the great memories He brings of music we've forgotten, the beauty of his wood work , the stories of his life. All the porcher's tell him to "chill out you haven't offended us" and he doesn't believe us. What are we liars? Willie get your .... in here and we'll have a good time. This world will not be a better place without you. And if I've ...... you off ....GOOD!!!! feel free to call me a dic... Right back at you. We all get down,and it's our friends who bring us back. Piss me off if you think you can and I'll piss right back at you. Brother.
Being relatively new on the porches, I don't know all the history. What I can say to you Willie, is you have never said or done anything to offend me nor have I read anything offensive.
As we get older, parents have or are passing on, friends gone, we kind of realize our own mortality. Just because you (meaning a generic "you") accept it, it does not mean it isn't strange and perhaps a little confusing? Not exactly the words I am looking for, but that's what my fingers typed.
DH, so glad you are home. Hopefully you will get all your meds squared away quickly.
Slamming shins - I do it sometimes on the hitch on the van. OUCH!!!!!!!
Mosquitoes, they are really bad here in Florida this year. We have had so much rain you can hardly step outside without getting bitten. Bug repellent or not. I think I am using Benedryl lotion as body lotion!
Geordi is back to his mischievous self, I feel worse. Didn't sleep much with this sore throat. Looking forward to a nap if I can.

Dancing ... nice to hear you're home ... not so nice to hear you had troubles w/ the prescriptions.
Don't know anything about it Matt, but I've seen it for about the same price at US vendors.
Yes - there's been lots of discussion about nickel coils. I stopped reading about it as I didn't know who to believe. My take away was I don't glow the coil hard when building it not when dry firing to clean it. I just pulse it when cleaning and let up as soon as I see the gunk turning to ash.
About a year ago there was also a lot of chatter questioning if kanthal was safe to use as a coil material. Folks were talking about it, too, being unsafe when super-heated.
In some respect we are guinea pigs I guess.

This part I can fix...... Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three | Page 600 | E-Cigarette Forum as to the nickel, or as mike mentioned even kanthal, dunno. I have no interest in nickel at this point, and even if kanthal aint so great, it's better than cigs or course.
oh this burns me up!!! Let you out as late as they did, knowing they still gotta get you home and settled, and not send you home with at least a couple doses of pain meds and not to have at least called it in so it would be waiting for you to pick up. These people need to get over this pain med freakout!!
oh that stinks!
I'm soooooooo glad you're home, have really missed you!!! I understand how you feel, I admit to sometimes feeling that way, but I chase off those feelings when they arrive, cuz I know that there are people who love me (mostly here) and I'm so very relevant to them, and so are you! so when those thoughts come, change the story in your head, and focus on your blessings!! You matter very much!!
I heard she moved to hawaii.......wish she'd have taken me with her!Anyone seen Deb a doo?
This wouldn't load for me either, and I was looking forward to it. May have to just look it up
Been meanin to tell ya I like your purple (kinda) frog
and we miss you too when you're not around!! Hope you feel much better very soon!!!
Honest answer. YES. Your presence adds to the porch. Your wit, music, art, ability to perceive what's really going on - and courage to express it no matter what.
Things we all appreciate, Unc.
My MIL, who we got to buy the next door house a few years back (think MIL cottage on steroids, so I've had 2 1/2 acres to maintain since
) is 92, and of course she doesn't "add" a lot of new (ideas, information, fill in the blank). But her PRESENCE brings joy to my wife and I. Daily. Her reminisces, and not just of family. Her humor. Her foibles.Family.
Willie, you don't offend me at all. Everyone has his own style, any yours is unique. We are all accept individual differences here.
Dancing, that sucks about the pharmacy! You'd think they would have said something to you about closing when the script was dropped off. It's not like you were getting vitamins! I hope you made out ok through the night.
Willie, you think too much! You're valuable exactly the way you are. Who knows when any of us will be able to contribute something valuable? And we'll never really know how far reaching any of our contributions will go. Rejoice in the blessings you have and know we love you! Do I have to send you some cake? That might cheer you up!

First, let me say it is quite gratifying to read your comments and support .. let me pause for a moment and wipe something out of my eye that accidentally strayed in there ..
Like I've said many times in the past, I really don't have many left that I can lean on, and at the same time, being a self made man and always always priding myself on standing on my own two feet, it's tough to not feel like a whiner when I slip into the dark .. (as opposed to a winer, which can and does tend to be temporarily uplifting .. ) .. at any rate, I did feel somewhat better last night after backing the dump truck up and unloading some ..
As I traveled the road for the last 10 days or so, re-visiting as I do every year the old haunts in the South, I had allowed myself to be convinced by an ex to attend the wedding of her daughter .. Tasha .. when we were married, Tasha was my ex'es child from a previous marriage, it was 20 years ago and at the time, her and I were pretty close .. of course, as with many things along those lines, separation and divorce cause people to want to bury the past and move on, so I had had little to any contact until the wedding ..
At any rate, Tasha had blossomed into her own woman, found a good man .. and welcomed me with open arms and a genuine gratitude that I had decided to attend .. yet, I could not help but feel a disconnect, amid a large group of mostly strangers .. and realizing that I would never see the day when my own child would wed ..
That, in and of itself brought on my general malaise and ultimately resulted in last nights mind dump .. since, my family here was, sadly, all I had to rely on .. and come thru you did, like you always do ..
We, together, have experienced joy, pain, sadness, loss, humor, disagreement, camaraderie, support in times of need and more .. so once again, I cannot say enough, I'm always grateful for Fate somehow bringing us to this place .. and if I can play a small role in what we are here, it's very, very gratifying .. thanks ..

Janet, that new kitchen's sure going to get a workout! MORE CAKES!!
A bit of my story here, to set the stage.
I was a service brat. While, like all up-bringings, there are both good and bad sides to that, one of the things it did NOT give me is any life-long friends. But it DID give me that same (or similar) kind of self-reliance. (Heck, when my second and current spouse and I married, other than blood relations, the person who'd been a continuous part of my life the longest was my cat!!) Being able to take care of one's self was essential, so I think I know what you're feeling.
But it also gave me the ability to make new friends along the way, to accept people as the individuals they are and not try to stuff them into some pre-conceived (and probably wrong!) box. To enjoy variety and diversity of people and events.
Those are the things, imo, we need to focus on. Building new relationships (GO PORCH!!), remembering the perhaps bittersweet past but not dwelling on it.
To paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt, the past is over, the future is yet to come. All we have is now - that's why it's called the present.
