"Great, I said to him,."I love trains."

I bought one of those, inflatable sex dolls. I sent it back and said "you sold me a male doll" they said " you've blown it up inside out"

Re: May 19

And here's what I posted on last weeks thread. Hope I haven't confused everyone. :happy2:

MAE ALL...started this weeks thread and copied TG's post over and then Mick posted here so I closed it. Don't want to confuse everyone.

Lav...thanks, as it turns out I got hit with 3 things at once. Viral infection causing dizziness/no appetite/no energy plus bronchitis plus bacterial infection from foot cut. All dealt with and feeling my old self again. Thanks again for the Grandma Sweat shirt it looks great.

TG...bummer about the water softener but as you say it could have worse. Sending all the good energy I have, you need it.

Mick...the front garden looks great. Your day looks like mine today, no rain and lots of sun so will be getting out to the garden after all. So you've still got another month of training to get in before the big one. Pace yourself.

Have a few things to get done around the house before I head to the garden so must get at them. Have a Super Sunday all....PPOP

Re: May 19

I’m always borderline confused PQ so it’s OK ha ha!!!!!

Greetings everyone,
Summer has reared it’s hot & humid self today, the AC is on. But, the good thing about having two 80+ degree days in a row is things are happening in my garden. Found some of the peonies in full bloom today. They usually don’t open until the end of the month

Mick, your garden looks wonderful, nice job!!
Taking YB in tomorrow to have his sutures removed from his big (hospital) surgery. He should be happy about that.

Cyn, was that inspector there on your dime or a potential buyer? A lot of times you can put money in escrow at settlement, then the buyer can have the repair work done. Just a thought

There’s no way to fit a house inside an apartment so you’re going to have to choose your favs & ditch the rest. I already know what I could live without around here. Good luck!

PQ, glad you are healing up, that sure was an assault on you last week!!
I was lovely doing business with you, thanks!

Hello to Det, Pauly, Sam, Pie, SK & anyone else looking in.

I’m going to chase the chickens in before dark so I don’t have to be out there when the T storms roll in.
Have a nice night everyone!

Re: May 19

MAE ALL...

Morning Mick....you made me laugh with the American Pickers reference. You're right, you better stay out of the way. Feeling good but having a problem getting the swelling down in my leg. Will try keeping it elevated more. Yup back to work tomorrow, I was on call this weekend, and of course the exhaust system in the kitchen decided to pack it in. We had a wedding for about 150 on Saturday. Temps down below freezing again last night so still haven't started the garden.

Lav...did the T-storms roll in. Man there's been some wicked weather just west of you. You're not in the tornado paths are you? Good luck with YB today and no matter what the Doc says tell him you need him sedated because it's a long drive home.

Shout out to the rest of the gang....:smile:PPQP

**Lavande** · May 20, 2019, 08:15 PM

Re: May 19

Good evening friends,

All sutures are out of his big incision as of today. So there’s only 1 left that needs dressing changes once or twice/day. This was beginning to take up a lot of my time, haha! YB is going to be under the watchful eye of this dermatology/surgical/oncology group for the rest of his life. I think he finally understands the seriousness of his situation. I’m grateful to have their help, he’s a tough patient, no sh*t!!!!

Mick, every year when the peony blooms we get big storms that just destroy the beauty. We actually moved that plant here with us from the old place. And get this - we moved it from my brother’s house when he sold his place in the mid 90’s. Crazy huh?
Glad you are ‘helping’ your neighbor out with his move

PQ, we never had a drop of rain last night after all the warnings. A tornado did touch down in a neighboring county northwest of here & did some serious damage. Scary weather events for sure.
The temp hit 89 today with tons of humidity, yuck. Grateful for the AC.
I hope you get that leg swelling under control, keeping it elevated on a couple of pillows in bed helps. So it looks like you & I are learning lots about international monetary funds

Hello to the rest of the crew & wishing everyone a good night!
We’re ready in case some creepy storm blows in tonight - hope not.

Lav

Re: May 19

Happy unhung Monday ABeroooos!

what a crazy busy day... bit stressful but ended on a good note and all is spiffy.

Heck yes my weekend was amazing

PPQ so glad you're feeling good and healthy and thanks for booting us up. several times

Tree, what an ordeal but you are on a roll dear, way to go.

Mick, downsizing is tough but can be rather cathartic I've found. Trying not to burden myself with a ton
of crap, though I may be a tad too spartan. it's a bit weird having my date over and her discovering I only
own 1 chair. Yes I realize that's a great way to encourage us to just stay in bed LOL and while that's working
out very well I suppose a 2nd chair is in order.

Lav, my AC is critical here in the desert. we have a heat pump system here that's really affordable to run.. neato.
When that tough patient is up for it he owes you some fancy dinners! glad you missed the tornado.. yowsa.

Pauly, what's the good word?

Sam, all groovy? any tunes being played?

Met my new girlfriend's daughter Sunday night... I was nervous! it went super well and we laughed and just had a
really nice time. whew. Tomorrow night I'm helping the two of them with some boot shopping as we are going on a hike
this weekend and they both need new booties. So fun to have a romantic interest that is also turning into a great friend with
similar interests.

Made a big instant pot black bean/beef/multiple colored bell pepper chili for lunches this week. So darn handy. Lav thanks
again for recommending it.

and I got a really pretty end-grain hardwood cutting board. i think I should take some pics of it.

And... even more... just signed for a new used car tonight (the mid size SUV) and will be picking that up this Thur.

so much happening!

going to jump up and down and burn off some happy energy

be well loves

**treegirl** · May 21, 2019, 06:34 AM

Re: May 19

Morning all,

Thanks everyone for the good wishes! All will be well... we are giving away/getting rid of tons of stuff each day. The sobering part is that we also have to remove all furniture (inside and out) from the house, as we are on,y moving a little bit. So I have an excel with everything on it and we are finding potential homes for it all... some things are of real value, but there is no time to mount a sale, so I'm looking at FB Marketplace to see if I can get some local interest over Memorial Day weekend. We'll see! 13 days to the move... 16 days to a cleared out and completely cleaned house.

Mick, gorgeous gardens, and great jokes! Thanks for all the support. Lav, I hope the nursing duties are lessening... you have been hard at it! Hot and humid here yesterday also... I will be glad to be out of this un-air-conditioned house. PPQ, wow, that's a lot for your poor body to endure! Take it slow and heal completely please! Sorry about posting in the wrong place - I obviously do 't know what day it is, at this point they all run together. Det, all is sounding great for you. I like a stripped down life... we will have 3 chairs, that's all (one is for the dog, lol).Less is more! Hello to Sam and anyone stopping by. No word from SK? I miss her dry wit, and hope she's OK...

Wishing all well --

Re: May 19

hiya all...well just managed to get on tinternet!!!its been a real pain in the butt today..it kept going off ...I think my computer is trying to leave Europe too..lovely day today again....Was playing with the trains for a wee while this morning ..its ages since Ive done that ..but found some time today to do it.

hiya tree ...a minimalistic approach to it all? ...I kinda think thats what madam is doing!! 13days ...and counting!!#

hiya det ..you ok mate? it sounds like you are mate ...enjoy life ..I remeber having 1 chair when I met julie ..it was a Parker Knoll tho .

hiya ppqp,,,,well it sounds like it has all gone a bit pear shaped!!hope all is going a bit better for you now

hiya Lav...lucky yb...I can just imagine you as the old fashioned matron giving him loads ..!!howsthings with you then today?wehave got a laurel bush..it was a tiny wee plant that I bought for Julie 25 years ago ..all heart me..it grew hooge but she wouldnt let me get rid of it ..so Itook loadsa cuttings from it ..and gave them away to anyone ..save 2 which Ive still got...and Amy will be getting one ..whether she wants it or not!!!!

hiya everyone else where are yizall??

Whilst out shopping my wife presented with a handbag and asked my opinion. "What do you think of that?"
"Lovely It will match your outfit" I answered.
"What outfit do you mean?" She then asked.
"The outfit that you are now going to buy to match the new handbag", I replied.

Experience the thrill of winning an argument with your wife by sitting in a library for three days.

I love hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet in the morning.

Best thing I ever did was hire a midget butler.

A crocodile killed a pastor who was performing a baptism near a lake in southern Ethiopia.

Why the fck would anyone want to baptise a crocodile?

My tweet about the Russian sponsored hacking of social media accounts got retweeted 147,365 times.
Which is odd because I only have 13 followers.

We had a vote about if we should go out for tea. Out narrowly won.
They didn't want to go to McDonalds.
They didn't want to go to K.F.C
They didn't want to go to a pub.
They didn't want to go to a restaurant.
They didn't know what they wanted.
They didn't want to stay in but they had no Idea what they wanted.
So we went out and sat in the car arguing about it so no one got fck all, but we went out.

Sound familiar?

Re: May 19

Good evening folks!

The weather gods blessed us with sunshine & a lovely 71 degrees today ~ nice!
Looking at the weather for the rest of the week it looks really crazy, back & forth between hot & cold. The poor folks in the Texas/Oklahoma areas are being slammed with major storms & tornadoes.

Det, glad you are enjoying life these days

See, all we had to do was wrestle ourselves out of the grips of AL. Grateful that we have all done that. I think I’ve talked a few people into Instant Pots now & so far so good. Everyone seems to love it too. I have extra furniture around this house that I would gladly hand over to you but you would have to pick it up, haha!

Cyn, it’s a shame you can’t do a yard sale, they are usually a good way to move things along. Whenever we’ve had one we just put the leftover stuff out for trash pick up. I don’t like to sweat all that stuff if you know what I mean. I have my mother’s china here that I don’t use anymore & my kids don’t want it so some day it’s likely to hit the dump, what can you do? Good luck & take lots of deep breaths!!

Mick, our Pennsylvania state flower is the mountain laurel

Pennsylvania State Flower | Mountain Laurel
I have spent my entire working life being in charge, telling people what to do, etc. I am not shy when it’s time to tell someone to sit down & shut up, LOL. YB should certainly know that by now, oh well.

PQ, how’s that leg doing today? Still have the swelling?

Hello to the rest of the group & wishing everyone a nice night!
Lav

**porqoui** · May 21, 2019, 07:56 PM

Re: May 19

MAE ALL...Been trying to get on since I got home from work.

Lav...you would have thought it was October here, cold overcast and at time pouring! They say we're going to hit 70 tomorrow, well I'll believe it when I see it. Can't seem to get the swelling to go down. Did spend a lot of time on my feet yesterday doing some running around so that probably didn't help. Will keep it elevated and see what it's like tomorrow, may have to get it looked at again.

Mick...my tinternet problems started with me hearing the boys saying we need faster speeds. Then a new modem arrived and when I got home tonight I heard the support guy said it was a software update that crashed the modem. Back to old modem then couldn't get on here. Neither of them are working why can't they sort this sh*t out during the day. LOL It was a good day and if weather does what it's expected I could get out to the garden soon.

TG...hope you didn't mind me moving you, I'm kinda anal that way. LOL I can just picture your spreadsheet! Hope you get some compensation for the stuff you have to let go of in a hurry.

Det...just think how impressed she's going to be the next time she's over and has her own chair! LOL You can always hide it and say well it's back to the bed. How did the boot shopping go?

Time to tend to my feet and get that leg elevated. Have a good evening all....:smile:PPQP

**porqoui** · May 22, 2019, 08:34 AM

Re: May 19

MAE ALL...thought I'd pop in this morning as I have a Garden Meeting tonight.

Mick...not raining here at the moment, fingers crossed it stays that way. I'll let you know if we reach the high temps as predicted. So far I have internet so it's a good day. You might have to put off major railway work until the fall/winter now. Woke up this morning and my foot/leg is half the size it was when I went to bed. :yay: Must be doing something right.

Pauly...every time I see an IP I think of Lav too. LOL October in Vegas definitely different than here. We don't get those high temps during the summer.

Time to play doctor and then head off to work. Have a good day all....:smile:PQ
