Surprising, isn't it Bunny? Yeah, they listen sometimes.

But they'd never admit it.

I clicked the heat up a few notches when it got down to 60 inside. I refuse to shower in temps that low. Going to be cool for the next few days, then back up into the 70s yay! We are supposed to go to Drummond Island fishing for a long weekend, and I'd much rather sit out in a 70+ degree boat than a 55 degree boat

We listen, honest we do. It's just that we have great difficulty separating the 'right from the wrong'.
@Bunnylady of course Critter listens to you - like me he's learned more from watching than listening.

Good morning, Old Folks.

Hit the nail on the head on all three points! Wisdom I tell ya!

Sour good luck to you grands.

Y'all are killing me with the cool temps already. We are getting upper 90's and
Into 100 with the heat index still.

Thank you for asking. Yes I think I am seeing some improvement in my hands-not as much morning stiffness and pain. The middle finger of my right hand is pretty much a lost cause (DH says that's what I get for flipping people off all the time) but the other 9 are about 75% improved. My feet are still a pain, literally, if I am on them too much during the day. Yesterday I slept much of the afternoon after the shot so not much foot pain to complain about.

So I think I am getting some relief from the shots. I see my PCP on Thursday and then the Rheumy the following week. I expect him to bump up the dosage on the methotrexate. Oh joy. I get to sell more.

Cap, impressive coop, as always.

SGC, same for your quilt and pillow. Have fun on your trip.

Thanks, its getting harder to do the work by myself. Hubby not happy to have coop #2.

So my husband was doing a consultation with a new-ish horse operation a few miles from here (the place is a total sand pit, and they want some grass). While he was there, one of the boarders was trying to load her horse onto a trailer. "Trying" is the relevant word here; the horse was not cooperating. Supposedly, this woman has given lessons for years, so you'd think maybe she'd know a thing or two, but she was standing in front of the horse, pulling on the lead, and the horse wasn't budging. Hubs said he even heard her mutter, "come on, if you move, I'll take the pressure off." Hubs told me, "I'm no horse person, but I knew that wasn't going to work; they move away from pressure, not towards it." The woman's husband was there, but not being a horse person either, he was staying out of it. I don't know, perhaps Hubs said something, and she was like "OK, Mr. Smarty Pants, you know so much? Let's see how you do," but the woman said something about her shoulder getting sore and handed the horse off to my husband. Hubby said he walked the horse through several tight circles and then straight up into the trailer, and the horse never even hesitated. He told the other man, "I'm no horse person; I've no idea why that works, but I've seen my wife do it and it works for her."

And I thought the man never listened to me.

Awesome.... LOL... I think too men dont talk as much ...

yes...

old wisdom says wait because of possible surgery complications and recovery time for obese people...
Modern wisdom says fix it Laproscoptically and old issues are all but eliminated.

we will see as long as I am not in pain I will wait till I see my Surgeon on the first. the tear started just above one of the surgery sites and has grown to meet it. I am hoping scar tissue will stop it there... for what its worth its about four inches.
