The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

The stew tonight smells so good i can hardly wait to eat! I made slop for the chickens, left over spaghetti, chopped up ham, carrot peelings, and three stale biscuits cooked together. It is supposed to be bitter cold tomorrow, so they will benefit from that then.

I am braising chicken tonight!

None of that other stuff....

I am doing fish tonight...son caught several perch last night, so good eating.

Do you suppose all the guys are hiding out on another thread by now?

Some of us are just lurking and smiling, knowing better than to interject. As our perspective is way different than yours. My first born was like a page out of the keystone cops, wasn't funny at all at the time but hilarious now... Just imagine two couples with the same names. And then think calamity of errors. Second was a breeze. Scheduled two months in advance, drank coffee with the doc before the anesthesiologist took DW away, was supposed to assist, but assisting surgeon was clinic commander and not willing to bend the rules... so I got to give her her first bath and then take her for passport photos.

Oh, I so miss lake perch. Maybe one day...

Leftovers here....actually leftover leftovers. We were working at Kenny and Jenny's new house today and I ain't cooking for anyone. Days like this I'm <gulp> I don't have chickens to worry about too!

You might consider that pretty much all the guys here, if not ALL the guys here, have children. I saw nothing new in any of your "graphic" posts

Perch is ok. We used to catch some while fishing for Bass. We used the liver from the perch as bait. The bass were much better tasting.

Dinner is still many hours away [it is 10:12AM]. However, it is FIL's night to 'cook' Send fish! Hey, I might even give the squirrel a try!

Seriously now, I am a little worried about him He has had a non painful, swollen foot, ankle and lower leg for a few days now and will not go to the Doctor. I am suspicious of kidney or liver issues and concerned that he is not drinking enough water in this heat .. he has an Iced Coffee for breakfast, a beer at lunch time and starts drinking wine at around 4PM. I very rarely see him drink water.

He is very set in his ways and stubborn [which he is allowed to be at his age ] and even suggesting he drinks water or goes to a doctor for a blood test etc is asking for a lecture or tantrum.

I am worried but not sure there is much I can do

OMG! LOL

Not much else we can do! Any attempts to intervene are going to be met with much resentment.

 

[sunflour]

will not go to the Doctor.

He's an adult, and will have to make up his own mind to go...hope he listens to you at least this time
