Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[chikenscratch]

Chikenscratch, a nurse recently told me that when older folks fall inexplicably, it's "often" due to a urinary tract infection. For some reason in older folks the UTI causes balance issues instead of the "usual" symptoms.

I've never heard that one before! I could always ask him to have it checked out at his next visit to the doc.

good evening,

not much happening to write about..

what is a porous egg ?

was your dad walking with just socks on ? or was it outside ?
I hardly ever wear shoes in the house and I have slipped on the stairs a few times.. never fell, though. I did walk down the stairs in the dark once and thought I was at the bottom,, started walking as if I was on the floor and fell off the first step,, Now I turn on the lights.

the soft spot on the ice is often on the head of the driver.. Winnebago claims a car or two every year.. there are a couple of trucks here in Lake Wausau that they never have located.. luckily, there are no bodies in them,,

Jim- my dad had his gym shoes on. I can only figure that there was some ice from someone's shoes on the stair. The stairs in the mudroom are painted concrete and must get slippery....or he has a UTI like mophead suggested? No bruising as of last night and he is feeling better today. Any suggestions as to how we could make them non-slippery for the future?

We also got snow, but as Bay peepers said it will melt soon. I'm already planning my garden and perusing catalogs. I've gotta have something to get me through February.

DH and I are planning a trip over the kids Spring Break. We are thinking cruise or just a flight to somewhere warm....Caribbean most likely. Any suggestions?

Chickens are ready to get out, but won't come out. I think the rabbits are ready for them to be out too! I'm wanting to get some fertile eggs in February, assuming my broody keeps sitting. I'm thinking of getting some hybrids again. Will anyone have sex-link or star eggs in February? Australorps, easter eggers, & welsummers would be great also!

Cuties, do I need to bake something? Or just drool over your purchases and bring hot coffee?

I hope my family realizes how spoiled rotten they are. Made meat loaf tonight for dinner and then to top it all off, chocolate cake with fudge frosting.


Nothing to report here; managed to get an inch or two of snow.

good morning,
peruse ,,,,, I was going to use that word last week but I couldn't figure out how to spell it..

when is this date when we are all supposed to go to Cooties for some drool ?

chknskrtch .. you can get rubber treads for the stairs, glue them on..
or you can paint them with paint with silica sand in it.. I don't like the sand option..

we got about an inch of snow,, I will check, but I don't think I will plow.. Next week we are supposed to get 3 to 4 ..

Jim, you are welcome anytime! !

Cs, we have tape with grit in it on our basement steps. It works very well. Those steps are always wet from the doggies.

Hey, all. Being new to WI I am wondering if there are any specific illnesses/diseases that are prevalent here. I know that Marek's seems to be a common virus, but is it an issue here? Do any of you vaccinate for anything? I never did in AZ and never seemed to have a problem (maybe 'cuz it's so flippin' hot!), but want to be aware of anything specific to the area. Guess I could Google it, but it is so much more fun to ask you all.

On another note, what is all this white stuff falling from the sky? It just keeps coming! LOL Can't wait for spring.
