What's beautiful about that, is that my Lovely Wife/Goddess said that it's starting to rub off on Her! 🤣
I am also a charter member of the procrastinators club! I sit here, on a Wednesday evening, having yet to pack for my trip. I leave on Friday. 🙄

Also, please get a room if you're going to be rubbing off on your wife/goddess! 🤭🤭

Rare lull for a quick catch up

Nice to see OM stopping by with her memes from time to time. Lovely to see you when time allows, @Oldermom935

*refers to air fryer
Me neither. Bought one - off gassed it, then repacked and regifted at Christmas with a few silicone accessories. Was well received.

😥 Entirely too many for me to do the same for all I am missing during vacation. Sorry folks. In a perfect world I absolutely would, but current reality has limited resources.

I try to avoid oats as they tend to make my tummy ache.
No gluten sensitivity or celiac issues - just an unhappy tummy when I eat oats in about any form. 🤷‍♀️

😍 love my toaster oven!!!

*adds Stepladder For Downstairs to birthday gift list for Lili*

I'd like this on a badge for our leather jackets please

Oh, no! Poor puppy and poor you. Glad you got it sorted. 😢 He's so lucky to have you as his person. 🫂

Ugh - hate those! I like at least 15 minutes to get online and take a quick look at what came in since the previous day.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go

My advice - eye on the prize... post-surgical recovery

Do as many of the pre-surgical exercises as possible... you will need those muscles during recovery.
You get out of PT what you put in.

Also, when in recovery and needing to get out of bed those first few days.. slip your good leg under your surgical one to help lift and rotate out of bed.

Last bit of advice - ice. Lots and lots of ice.
It helps with pain between doses of pain meds. For me, it works better than the pain meds.

I've had both mine replaced. Each was its own experience. Feel free to DM with any questions. Not an expert by any means but happy to share what I experienced.

Good luck to you both!!

Same - but this new phone is a brick! I said that when I got my last phone... but this time I mean it??
Even my travel pants with two large pockets on either side aren't big enough for this monster.

You know your stuff and you've got this!!

po-tay-to
po-tah-to

Or focus on their shoulder instead of their face. From a distance, it still looks like good eye contact.

Off for a short nap before my next vacation adventure.
Have fun everyone... Happy Tuesday
Glad you're having a good vacation, Likes!

Great post-op suggestions! 💞
 
Now for my rant of the day.

There is one of my employees I loath. Not dislike, not hate…but loath. This is the second time I’ve been her supervisor and she causes me more stress than any other single or group of employees I’ve ever had. She’s been in a mood recently, over who knows what now, and we are all walking in egg shells. I asked my boss to recognize her for some of the work she’s done recently and she acted like we were criticizing her and out to get her. She makes it quite clear, over and over again, about her dietary allergies and the team does the best to accommodate her but she doesn’t even have lunch with the team. I’ve invited her, but she refuses. She gets pissed off when nobody reacts to her posts in our group chat, and then gets pissed if when she feels the response wasn’t appropriate. If she is calling out sick, which is frequently, she’ll text me at 5:50 am. I’ve told her to wait until later, but she doesn’t get it. I understand she has background medical issues, I’ve had to work with her before and accommodate them, but you don’t need to shove them in the team’s face to stanmd out. She has the union on speed dial, and isn’t afraid to remind us of her close personal friendship with the local shop steward. I just with she would retire, and by the way so does her husband (who is a great guy).

Ok, rant over. Sorry about that. No need to reply I just needed to get this off my chest.
Ugh! She's your 80/20. Or maybe 95/5!

My advice? Stop walking on eggshells around her. Treat her exactly as you treat everyone else. Even her "close personal friend," the shop steward can't fault you for that. Just ignore the passive-aggressive nonverbal pissed-off-ness and counsel her on any verbal or physical manifestations of pissed-off-ness. ALWAYS have a witness, preferably the aforementioned "close personal friend," the shop steward, if/when you need to counsel her. Keep meticulous notes.

It's a PITA, I know. And, I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know. This kind of narcissistic bullying needs to stop. I'm so sorry!🫂🫂
 
Way back in a past life I worked at this warehouse. Every so often, we had to break up old crates and pallets.

I came up w a great trick. Put the forks of the forklift all the way to the right side. Pick up the crate in question with it hanging all the way off to the right.

Go at full speed and sideswipe the dumpster. The crates would just explode into pieces like this.

Plus it was fun!

I like breaking things.
Too bad you didn't have an old tank you could use to run over them! 🤣🤣
 
Happy Wednesday!!!


So, four horses and a coyote call. Wat ordered this call thingie on Amazon, maybe. It makes all kinds of distressed critter noises. There is one of squalling coyote puppies, which is, I guess, to lure the mommies in. The one that seemed to make as much sense as any was the sound of a very unhappy bunny. Sad bunny makes noises to draw in predators. Okay. So I went out on the back deck with the noisemaker and a rifle (just in case - I had no expectations) and started playing a litany of racket. I was figuring that maybe some of those chicken killers were over in the far trees on the other side of where the mule lives.


There is a look that a horse has when you/something has its undivided attention. S/he looks intently ahead and the ears are following the eyes. The ears won't lie down forward, but they point in that general direction and stay put because it's looking at whatever. You follow the ears with your eyes and you can tell what he's looking at. The only thing that the bunny call drew was four rather judgmental horses over to the house side of the fence line. They were all looking at me and 8 ears were pointed at me, like "Hey. h000man, what you you doing to that bunny? What's wrong with the bunny??" It's the only time I can recall ever seeing all 4 of them together united in one purpose. Besides eating, and even then they have assigned stalls and troughs and such.


So I gave up and went in.
You just got judged by a horse tribunal! 🤣🤣🤣
