Hey, I have teeth!! Paid a fortune for them!! :H I go to a brother and sister dentists, and they are so fun and great to talk to. Saw Tom today, and he suggested a major jaw reconstruction, because of my medical issues, then told me the last patient he referred there paid $50,000 for the work (but 'It was PERFECT!' he said!). Not going to be happening here. Sweetwater Cabin needs to much work, and I'd rather have a tummy tuck and a butt and boob lift for THAT kind of money!!). I'm in the 1/2 of 1% of people with a rare problem connecting my upper teeth to my sinuses. Go figure. I'm always SO special.
Fen, I had to come to a complete stop today leaving my busy road (are you laughing, Rog?) to let a flock of fledgling turkeys (who I've seen since they were chicks) cross. Funny to watch the last one, standing in the middle of the road, looking back and forth deciding if he should follow or retreat. I love seeing their comeback in the country. And hardly a time goes by I leave my house without a deer encounter. They truly are such graceful, beautiful creatures, seeming to fly over fences. Unless I was starving I couldn't shoot one with anything but a camera.
MB, don't worry about the poots and shoots. This is a matter of being healthy, and your peace of mind. I have a close friend who has been battling advanced colon cancer for about 4 1/2 years now, so this is always our best defense. And if you hubby gets crude, take pictures and make a collage of his dirty underwear!
Roger, when someone who needs work gets you for a little while, they realize (if they have any sense) what a treasure and artist you are. And any weight loss on you is a tragedy, Bubba. Take some supplements, vitamins, drink tons of water, just to keep up your system, but you need a complete check-up, you know. I wish more than you know I could make that happen for you. You've gone your own way, because that's who you are. But there comes a time in our life when we have to think of ourselves, our health in the future, even when we're giving our work our all. I just want you as a friend for a long, long, time. So please, take care of yourself. I saw how much you CAN eat at my house, and it was a joy to see. Some people have that kind of metabolism, genetics, to stay skinny. But still, a little bit of cushion wouldn't be bad. I just hope you're feeling better, and things are 'softening' a little bit for you, getting easier. You know there are no quick fixes, and the problems are still there, but at least you have a little lee-way since you have money coming in. Just take care of you, Bubs.
Hubs has, as I've told you, been the big boss over any outside contractor at their plant, (100's of people). It's been difficult, but they have been there for 5 years and were happy to have Hubs take over. Their company has lost the last bid, so now he's got 100's more coming in, plus their management, and all those who worked for him in limbo. Today, (he's been pummelled by people asking what's going to happen to them, and all the others coming in) he has to go to a dinner for the ones being displaced and their partners, that the company organized. He doesn't agree with a lot the company does, but he's stuck in the position of being these men's boss right now, someone they look to. So, he's out for that dinner tonight, and thankfully my presence wasn't required for this one. I know these people too.
Thanks for letting me get this out, even it isn't read. Catharsis, you know. I don't need any answers for this, just to say it. On top of the costs of maintaining everything, this is hard for Hubs, and I appreciate that. But still, when he leaves those big-ass shoes in front of the door, or by the bed for me to trip over in the dark, OR farts in the bed enough to move the bedclothes, I still want to smother him!! :H
