Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

I think Mt. Dew has been around for at least ten years... And after a quick read on wikipedia I see that it actually originates in 1940. Dr. Pepper was created in the 1880's, so depending on how old you actually are, you could say Mountain Dew is "the new Dr. Pepper", although they taste very different.

A very crispy morning here. Had to wait til the temp hit 32oF before sending hubby out
turn the girls loose this morning, brrrrrrr. Think we will attempt a trip to town today.
We figured out how to get me into Walmart!

I can only go a few feet with the walker
because my "good" leg has a damaged knee (my horse fell on me when I was in my 20's,
had surgery that they no longer do because they later figured out it eventually destroyed the
joint-no kidding) and won't support my full weight for more than that. Anyway, our Walmart
will let hubby park in front of the door and drive their electric cart out to me!

Wow. you just don't realize how great the little things we take for granted really are until
you lose them, like being able to go grocery shopping. I've always tried to give a helping
hand to anyone who needed it but now I have a whole new understanding and empathy for
those struggling with either a temporary (like me) or permanent physical disability.

My DW is in the temp category. She will be able to get around soon but now struggles to walk in the store. Motorcycle accident, bruised knee and bone, fractured foot, broken wrist with plate and pins and last week surgery to repair a detached ligament in the same broken wrist, other bone.

When I was growing up, Dr. Pepper was a coffee substitute. It would be warmed up in the morning to have instead of coffee. Mt. Dew seems to be doing the same thing now, especially in the Southern United States. Does anyone warm it up?

My DWs sister is a big Mt. Addict.

Hot Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper sounds disgusting, I have to admit.

Wow Ron! I think I remember reading your original post a while ago but just didn't catch how broken up she was!!! I am assuming since it was a motorcycle accident she is probably not quite as "senior" as myself

(no medicare yet, but getting close). I really pray all that damage doesn't give her trouble later on.

Now now, age is but a number. My dad turned 60 this year and he still snowboards. And rides a motorcycle, for that matter, although that's a later addition to his hobbies.

Good Day Everyone!!! Meet Lucie and Ethel from Silkieville! These are my two adorable and inseparable silkies. They do everything together, even went broody together already!
I may have to get more!!! Although I had 4 roosters DSO didn't want to hear them so they got rehomed earlier this year to wonderful people from the Michigan thread! I miss the roos they were so adorable too!

@chickisoup I do hope you heal up soon!!!

and your @ronott1 your DW as well!!! I love motorcycles but not what I have seen what an accident can do.

It's crisp here (read cold) got down to 35o here this morning. According to our extended forecast I had better get my outdoor chores and painting finished up in the next couple of weeks!

Time for more coffee!!!

Thanks!

She is 52 and fell off going about 40. The ligament surgery was a surprise. The "Team" of 7 Dr.s completely missed it, even though the joint was out and had to be put back in right after the accident.

The funny part was when, just before the xray, She was told that she really needed to get that locked joint moving again. When the Ulna is not in the wrist joint, it is impossible to move it.....

Quote: Ron is your DW doing better since her surgery? I hope she is and like chickisoup said I also pray that she will not have any pain from it later on.
