Wishing her the best. I am glad the cancer is slow growing.

Thanks B2. Had it been the other way around, she’d of had to make the call to have the first operation before the heart procedure. She felt like if her heart wasn’t strong and out of rhythm, she wouldn’t fair well with the other.

So sorry to hear about your wife also.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I agree, I've just happened to notice, anecdotally, I see more people wearing them now than I remember over the last year. Was just curious as to what might be driving that. Again, anecdotal.

FWIW…I don’t, and wont going forward. I was in the airport today, which is usually a bell weather for mask usage. I’m not sure I saw one on anywhere. Which is pretty unusual as like you said, I’ve been noticing more usage over the last few months. I wasn’t really looking for it mind you but now that you brought it up…

 

[Quimpossibility]

Thanks Tweedledude…she’s in good spirits which is half the battle. We haven’t focused on it and the only real thing that’s brought it home is she’s asked me if I know how to open the safe “in case anything happens…”. So keeping my fingers crossed and saying some prayers we get another 20 with her!

God bless

Question. How many of you wear face masks as a rule when out in the public?

On buses, when i remember. I hate catching bugs from public transport

 

[Noor]

Yes, confined to uterus. They also said it was slow moving, so that is a relief. We’re hoping the hysterectomy gets all the evil out of her.

I’ve lost too many family members to cancer. Don’t want to lose another.

She’ll be pretty wiped out by the hysterectomy, if it’s anything like mine was, they’ll take anything that could possibility have a cancer cells plus an abdominal wash. I wasn’t really right for at least 9 months and I needed hrt .
In hindsight sight I wished I had pre made food and frozen it, given a list of everything I usually did to my friends and brother because I spent time worrying about it afterwards and I was too weak and out of it to even explain.
I ate a lot of water melon afterwards despite not supposed to eat fiber, it just felt easier to eat and stay away from senna, I only had it twice in the hospital and I got serious side effects.
I wish you guys the best of luck.

Question. How many of you wear face masks as a rule when out in the public?

I wear mine every time I leave my house. I have since March 7, 2020.
To be fair I wore masks before to block allergens at times.
I run serious air purifers in the house, near the doors too since I live in an apartment building and I caught my only case of covid while inside my apartment.
I’m currently mainly wearing an 02 Canada mask, but I also wear 3m n95s, Cambridge masks, vog masks and rZ masks.

 

[Noor]

You drink motor oil?

Their Being a boat and all, motor oil sounds possible

More severe weather coming. I am concerned about our friends near Chicago, Ohio and Indiana .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I like the super hosts too

My landlady here in Worktown has a 4.99 rating (some asshole fragged her and I've helped push it back up every week) and she's a super host(ess).


And she has Super Kittehz.

Busy here at the Café, too
Let's see if I pass the memory test and get all caught up...

Is that "code" for something???

Ooh, this has "Meet/Meat Cute" written all over it

I’m waiting till the Mets fuck up this game and lose to go to bed…

they fucked it up.
Nite all!

I see the Mets really came through for you, W

It's so hard being the one everyone vents to. They might say they don't want you to do anything but, really, they do.

Even passive consumption of someone else's vents takes a toll.

They say it went well, thanks!
They replaced the ball, along with a couple inches of the bone, as the socket appeared to be in good shape.

So glad it went well!! You'll rest easier now.

Onwards and upwards.

New t-shirt slogan just dropped

Why do employers think they can ask for the earth and then pay peanuts???

I'll take Capitalism for £50 please bob!

I’ve been on once a day since I had the initial reaction in November but never twice. It should have kept this from happening and it didn’t, steroids should have brought it down but after almost two months it hasn’t, so after checking blood work to make sure I can tolerate it, I’m trying it twice a day. Instead of just once.
I need this resolved and off this Ned entirely so I can try one that could throw me into remission but reacts with this drug. It’s kind of frustrating.
I took the second one about 90 mins ago and so far so good.

@Noor I really hope this works for you and everything calms down enough so you can transition to the other med. Trying to move from med to med can be such an agonizing journey.

Try making a batch and freezing dough balls. ... When you want, you can just take out a couple and bake them. Fresh CCC!

If you have the freezer space, this works really well for so many things - sweet and savory! Leftovers, too.
Like freezing gravy or au jus in ice cube trays.

Peach would be awesome! And maybe cherry? I'm allergic to bananas and strawberries.

If the meetup happens, we'll need a list of allergies... or just label foodstuffs, etc. very carefully.
Just a thought

I would love some chicken chip cookies... I really like mine and if I make a batch down the hatch they go

Chicken.....chip.... Look ok I can appreciate a savory biscuit....but umm how can I trust a chicken chip? That sounds like it comes from an even shadier place in the bird than the infamous chicken nugget.

q: who makes the most spelling mistakes.
A: miss k.

Dang it....chocolate chip....I should have just said m and m

That one may be a case of mother forklift autocorrect...

i dont eat sweets so chicken chip cookies sounds right up my alley

You must not be fluent in MissK!

I knew exactly what you meant! I'm fluent in MissK!

I followed but also didn't just assume "typo"

haha i knew what ment , but definitely still like the chicken chip idea regardless haha

I'm sure there's a keto chicken chip cookie out there somewhere... sounds like @Qky75 may have a recipe
I mean, these exist

I'm glad to hear that. Now, she will get to do the hard/fun part. PT! She needs to be as compliant as she can. The more she WILL do, the more she CAN do!

I always tell folks, "You get out of PT what you put into PT".

All that for (checks notes) SIX guys!?!?

Brothers, nephews, Brothers-in-Law = 15
yeah, this tracks

OMG! I've finally caught up! I've been missing everyone, just bouncing in and out. Seems trying to do ALL the jobs around here by myself is very time consuming!

Pace yourself... that's a lot! But at least you have your boat at the ready again. Love those Moon Shots

You'd be the welcome, missing link with this crew!

So would a produce farmer - just saying.
Harder to keep fresh produce, I'm guessing.
Lots of meats and sweets can be frozen or shelf-stable.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ooohhh shopping!!!

I'm a get-her-done sort of hombre.

Part 2:

Management likes her. They tell her she's going and everything.
Hmmm . . . .

Litmo? More like Club Fed... now let's see... what would the equivalent be here???
Club Bed
Clitmo
Lust Lodge
Frot Knox
The Pen-Erotentiary
Soft Cell
Min-Erection Security Facility

Other Things can lead to frolicking.
Which can lead to gamboling.
Then look where we'll be . . . .

Hang a Louie and we're right back in Intercourse, PA again... one, big circle

Which I, of course, read as Titty Jeopardy.
Good to see that I'm in fine health, so to speak.

Yes the hose snake didn’t get Will lol

The cliffhanger I didn't know I needed resolved.
Glad Will is going to make it!!

And a queen neon thingee!

New nickname just dropped...
All Hail, Queen Neon

Time to switch to the Tigers: 2 home runs by Baez!

Joan Baez plays for the Tigers? Did I miss a meeting or something?

I need to get a jump on it, too. While I was in the 3AM club (still in bed, mind you, but thinking), I remembered some shit we need to buy.

I mentally draft emails during the 3AM club, when I'm driving, or in the shower. Problem is once I'm done, my brain thinks "ah, got that done". Next thing you know, BFF be like "Just checking in... haven't heard from you in a few days".

Cheers! I hope you like it stout!View attachment 2549227

IF I were to try it, I think I'll need to bring my own cup. Sorry

Well, the truth of the matter is when they were doing tests on her during her Afib, they found endometrial cancer…slow moving thank the Lord…but that’s what she’s dealing with. She had the heart procedure (ablution?) planned since Feb, so she figured better get that taken care of first then the hysterectomy. Hopefully she’ll be healthy enough for the second…it needs to be done sooner rather than later.

Off to work today. Hope everyone has a great HumpDay! Brazilian Rain Tree Bonsai Z…

Oh wow! Mama's gonna need a megadose of TLC this year!! Same for you and your sibs helping take care of her.
Another beautiful bonsai, HDH

I love a stout especially an Irish Stout!

Who doesn't? Problem is - that's supposed to be coffee... tasty, tasty coffee.

So glad they got it. Two siblings one did not make it.

I'm so sorry Cancer does such awful things to the human body.

I'm about to head to the beach's nature trails in a minute with my friend. I'm doing ok

Nice to see you back... glad to hear all is well. Have a great time!!

The malarkey gets you into the most trouble. IYKYK

Ummm frozen cookie dough is delicious...hahaha

Save me some. To heck with the diet when cookie dough is involved

I did my PT stretches after I took my pain meds. Oh am I sore! Heating pad is next.

Hope it helps!!

You drink motor oil?

Right? Looks more like that than coffee.
Wondering if it's a mechanical issue or human error?
Really hope it tastes better than it looks

Well, I've "taste tested" the motor oil... as well as most of the drilling and completion fluids that we haul, but what you see in the pic, is just a well seasoned coffee glass.

Really hope there's a funny story to go with that... otherwise, I mean, just... why?

Pardon me ma'am, can you take the next caller and come back to me? I'm really enjoying the hold music.

Sometimes that's the only break all day, too.

A couple months ago, I recognized this hold music as this pretty obscure classical piece based on a Chinese minority group folk music played by a group that I know. I asked the office about it and they said they didn’t know what it was but everyone loves it. I told them what it was and I let the group know too. I could listen to that all day.

Do they have an album out or samples online or anything? I'm interested in giving a listen.

I’ve lost too many family members to cancer. Don’t want to lose another.

Same - just the word strikes fear

stay away from senna

My mom had trouble with Senna as well. She fared better with Miralax.

My landlady here in Worktown has a 4.99 rating (some asshole fragged her and I've helped push it back up every week) and she's a super host(ess).
And she has Super Kittehz.

No for the asshole though...

But absotively and posolutely no asshattery.

Same - my sisters call it Combat Shopping

Thanks Quim. I really appreciate all the support from our group!

Thanks for the gouge Noor! I’ll pass this along to her. The one advantage she has is my oldest son and his family moved in with her last year, plus my wife and youngest. I’m home every other week so will pitch in when I can. I really appreciate the info as I wasn’t aware of a lot of this due to the fact that I didn’t get to go to the doc with her and she doesn’t tell me.

Thank you all for the outpouring of support. I love our special group of Spooners.

Hope the 2nd half goes as well as the first


Looks like you may be new... at least to posting here So here's the standard welcome for newbies...
We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.
5. For God's sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and eachother. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

Thanks
