Quick catch up on this Friday Eve...

ED is no joke!
Before my meds were upped my parlor trick was dermatographia.

No, it’s not! My dermagraphia would fade in 20 mins and that how I’d “remember” verb ending for French class.

Procedures involving the abdomen (aka The Core) can really have an impact. I recall a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure in my 20s... I was fine except for sitting/standing. It hurt to engage my core to do those two things. Faded after a few days.

I still can’t do the lower part of undulations which I could do before.

Hmm, Dutch Harbor, Alaska you say?? Wonder what their summer temps are like compared to here where we have Excessive Heat Warnings until late Sunday night.

Here as well, unless you’re here in Minnesota too!

As others have said, it's what we do... support fellow spoonies.

Yep!

High winds tend to come in at just the right angle to hammer my bedroom. There have been a couple times the windows shook so hard, I thought they might break. Twice I slept on the floor of my bedroom closet - just in case.

No storm cellar or basement?

Wait! does everyone here have Eds and dermagraphia or is it just us?

No, it’s not! My dermagraphia would fade in 20 mins and that how I’d “remember” verb ending for French class.

Awesome!! Mine didn't kick off enough for that until after college... could have really used it in high school though.

No storm cellar or basement?

Condo - no cellar or basement. I have 2 bathrooms w/o windows and one closet. The 1 bathroom is too small to be comfortable for a long stretch. The other works better. Also, for anyone interested, it takes a minimum of 3 votive candles for reading a book. Luckily, I've only needed to utilize such measures a handful of times in the last 20 years here.

We’re in the vaginal canal of this storm…

Oddly enough, 25 years on these boats and the best, freshest produce I've eaten was when I worked in the arctic circle out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska
(Unalaska is the name of the city on the harbor)

Oh their weather is just about perfect for me.
Too bad I can't even imagine affording the cost of living increase compared to where I live now.

Some days, I work on cars.


Occasionally, I acquired another car.


And some days, I stare at cars and wonder how all of this has come to pass . . . .

Wouldn’t do you to live here. We get battered here in a Gale.

Well I would borrow a couple golden retrievers

I like the way you think. I may need a slightly larger closet.

No porcupines here... but this poor, little guy sure found at least one...

Porcupine'd Pups - The Incredible Dr. Pol
Channel: Nat Geo Animals

poor doggies

 

[Strapper_gonebad]

well like my ol one eyed grandad use to say "You can get milk from a porcupine, but some things aint worth the pain and trouble"

 

[Strapper_gonebad]

my grandad lost his eye in a sawmill accident..he had a glass eye for a while, but he use to go to the bar and get drunk and take it out and roll it back and forth across the bar. his socket got infected so they justr ended up sewing it shut after they cleaned it out.

 

[Strapper_gonebad]

i remember my cousin in law was upset cause she thought he was always winking at her

 

[Strapper_gonebad]

My daughter had a pet hedgehog.

Does that count??

we could have a special display for hedgehogs..set up before they entered the porcupine den..that way they would be lulled into a sense of carelessness..that would boost bandaid sales

 

[Wonderer67]

I’m out. Goodnight all.

 

[dkak001]

Hardly caught up, now it's time to bail out on all of you!

Goodnight.

 

[Missk_2022]

Good night

[Rj_1954]

Good Night my dear friends, sweet dreams...

Can’t sleep

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning early risers and insomniacs. The forecast is heat index for the next 5 days close to 100! And it’s also going to be muggy. Not my favorite weather but better than last winter.

 

[Wonderer67]

Can’t sleep

I was up from 230 - 4 too.

 

[Tweedledude]

Can’t sleep

Common malady
Hope you all were able to get back to sleep

My sister is visiting and I was sweeping up and cleaning up the patio near the pool.

She likes the wind. Finds it refreshing.

I was telling her how I really dislike the wind. It’s my least favorite atmospheric condition.

I’m not a fan.

I do love a steady rain. Something about the consistent noise and how everything looks posts rain
