Caught up? It's a Miracle
So - other than Double Secret Probation, what's new?

Is she feeling better now it's Thursday? Or?

Nice! Must have some great memories of a lot of wonderful rides!

Inquiring Minds Want to Know...
I think the entire Cafe would be appreciative of an update tomorrow, too.

Why wait? I am ever thankful for all your assistance in my recovery.

I love the idea of a 2 hour lunch. Just not endeared to the thought of extending the work day by another hour.

Same. All the sports I played had an emphasis on leg strength. I've got crap for upper body strength.

Sounds pretty on-brand for dogs... plus, who doesn't like chicken? Tasty, tasty chicken

All of my brothers made the 1,000 pound club when they played football in school. They were very proud of that t-shirt.

Hmm, I wonder if I could adjust a ginger cookie recipe enough to reduce the sugar and increase the ginger and still have it bake right and be tasty.

A sibling did a reno on a historic home. Just getting the architect's plans approved took almost 4 years.

As long as he goes, right?

I don't wanna! *stomps foot* Ow!

All hail the great and powerful Wat - King of the Electricities

OMG - laughed so hard at that description

Oooh - would that work for a cat and rabbits?
Wait - cat... nevermind

That must get tricky at times. Do you need to avoid or be very cautious with anything listing "spices" in the ingredients?

Same - I just thought that was Swiss cheese. Wasn't until my 30s when a friend informed me, "No. That's a food allergy."

I like your dentist. Remind me to get a recco if I ever need emergency dental care when I'm out your way.

Double Secret Probation

Glitch... rhymes with B... which is what I've been doing

Figures

I hope @Wonderer67 is right and he's hit a rough patch and not running a scam

I would love it now - I spent a week there and found it very annoying... of course I was 16 at the time, so I myself was also very annoying

You would think that... I'm in month 10 of what should have been, at most, a full week of 8-hour days.
Reminds me - I need to reach out and see if he's ever coming back to "finish up"
I may need to wait until snow's on the ground again. He has a tree service that's his main job. My stuff is more "gas money" and "slow times" work.

Smart man

Same here in the Midwest. Lots of Deer Widows
I always reach out to my youngest sister for deer opener. See if she needs help or wants company.

agree! Great adaptive technique on his part. In my case? Mashed taters are a great delivery system to try and eat disliked foods. Doesn't work with them all, but for the ones it does? Like hiding a pill in cheese for a dog.

Win Column!

Yes. It surely does. I still recall my dad having a wisdom tooth pulled when he was early 30s. Dad grew up in a very small town where the barber doubled as the dentist.
Dry socket... coupled with lock jaw.
Mom was straining the noodles from chicken noodle soup for a week so he could drink it through a straw. He's lucky his jaw locked with just enough space for a straw. No hard sucking though - milkshakes were out.
He was so sick!
This was the mid-70s... so I'm sure just a few things have changed since.

time to find a younger fishing buddy

If it is mixed with other spices doesn't seem to bother me. I think it is just a thing about nutmeg... and clove makes me gag. I make my own pumpkin pie spice

I've been teaching a Master Class on Communicating with Clients for my handyman. So far? Minimal improvement. Not sure but thinking he may have some undiagnosed adult ADHD plus minimal business schooling, like @Wat_Tyler said. I'm not giving up... he's indirectly helping me improve my stress management and box breathing skills

See? win/win!

I’m making a sign and/or tshirt for my mom in rehab.
“ I am here for post stroke rehab. Don’t ask me about income taxes or anything else. I currently have aphasia, so even if I knew, which I don’t, I couldn’t tell you because I wouldn’t be able to find the words.
I don’t engage much after morning therapy, because I’m too wiped out. It’s probably nothing personal.
My sweet looking ferocious daughter will be here soon, she’s always been over protective, and gets stranger things than you free with her breakfast cereal. You have been warned. “

Maybe a few “ hell’s grannies” shirts too.

 

[Noor]

You're a good daughter. I hope you're able to take care of you now.

I’m on steroids and albuterol now, should be tossing cabers any time now

Give em hell... I almost had to kick someone's ass and her teenage daughter when my mom said "excuse me please" and they started yelling at her. I was 10 feet away smelling a candle and I quickly caught up and said "what is the problem? I suggest you and you (with a pointing finger) take your asses down that aisle ( used the pointy finger) and go about your day.....

I must have looked pretty serious because everyone scattered and aisle used..

I get it...poor mama... nurses aren't like they used to be...I know because I am one.

Oh, would you look at the time?
Sweet Dreams, everyone

What happened to our Avatars????

They are not really bothered about that. Working week is 35 hours (possible to extend up to 44 in exceptional circumstances but lots of paperwork to complete and signatures from all great-grandparents required)
Employees have a minimum of 30 days paid holiday. There are also 11 public holidays per year and most employers grant these as paid holiday as well, though, if the public holiday falls on a weekend, it does not get moved to the next working day.

Been a good week so far. Got down to see mum and take her out to lunch. We then followed it with a walk around a local park. It was lovely but she was determined to go down the steepest path so I had to grab her by the collar to stop her going too fast. I hade visions of her going base over apex. Walk back up was harder but I found a meandering path that took the sting out of it… and a bench for a rest on the way. Her strength of spirit amazes me. I guess it’s a generational thing. They find every reason to do something as opposed to a current generation who find every reason not to?

Anyway enough of that I am going fishing!

Okay, up. Avatar still present - for the moment. Maybe the Lit Poelease won't figure it out. We can always hope.


We have 4 more city inspections today at work. We were 3-for-3 today. The other guys, not so much. Meh. And we lose Snake In The Grass after today.


It's also pack-'em-up day and road trip home. There be cats in the near future.

I worked with an engineer who had Parkinson's.
I saw him trying to eat peas with a fork and after the 4th time his fork made it to his mouth, empty... he hollered "Dammit Bobby, don't EVER make peas without mashed potatoes again!"

That’s why there are spoons!

Many contractors are decent craftsmen who don't want to work for Da Man, but they often can be lousy businessmen. Then the Dollar-chasing begins in earnest.

Yes and that was Dad, a very good painter and decorator who turned business stuff over to mom.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning diner denizens. It is weird what’s happening to Avatars.

It’s very humid today. I watch my granddaughter this morning. Later off to play card games with old time friends.

After reading about contractors and workers. You are making me glad I do not have any work on going and retired. You are more bad ass than me.

Have a good day.

I have sent that happen more often than not.


It never worked for me.


Women left.


Bills remained . . . .
