BYC Café

[Nomadicus]

I could do without the tree, but hubby wants it, so we do. We'll put it up Christmas Eve, and then I'll have to take it down mid-January, just to get it out of the way.

We stopped buying gifts many years ago, but still give small things to friends, homemade goodies, usually.

A couple years ago, we did spend some money on gifts, but it was a very grateful Christmas, full of gratitude, as a dear friend (we call her our daughter) had beaten lymphoma.

Our #2 child beat lymphoma about 14 years ago. His gift to life came from his #2 child in the way of a bone marrow transplant.

Good morning all. I just hit the go button on the coffee pot and it will be ready shortly. Sorry but all the sinnamnon bread is gone.

Gray and chilly out there, with on and off mix of precipitations.
Warm and cozy in my house, looking forward to watching the Lions beat the Bears.

Cafe good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 70s.

Have a great day!

We still have temps in the mid 60's but at some point the bottom is going to fall out right down into the low 30's and maybe a light freeze or just a heavy frost in the morning. Time to bring tender plants in or cover them well.

looking forward to watching the Lions beat the Bears.

YES!!!

 

[Nomadicus]

YES!!!

If I root for the Lions or Tigers they will lose. So I remain neutral so they can win.

Thank you. I really want them to stop being a laughing stock team.

Just think if Barry Sanders were playing with them now. Well, not at his age... but you get what I mean.

Update on my neighbor, just venting...

We talked with her husband this morning. She had him take her to the ER Wednesday night, and said she thought she was having a heart attack. (Vomiting and severe chest pain.) They told her to "go sit down over there" and someone would be with her. People who arrived after her were seen before her.

Really? REALLY? Someone comes to the ER with severe chest pain and thinks they're having a heart attack should "go sit down over there?"

Anyway. She's doing better, the pump and "all the heart stuff tubes" (hubby's words) are out, but she had trouble breathing last night. She's on oxygen and I'm going to guess the possibility of pneumonia is high.

The ER I went to with super high BP sent me a survey. I blasted that doctor. I can't seem to find anyone who feels it is important to find out why it is so high suddenly.
