G’night people. 22,000 steps today.

I’m knackered.

Mets loosing again… I can’t bear to watch…

I only made not quite 12K.

Same. I resisted the suggestion from my ophthalmologist for years. When I finally had them done, I asked him why he didn't suggest it earlier!

Of course, I'm now that little old lady who wears her reading glasses on top of her head. I have pairs everywhere!

Pairs.


Except in yer avvie . . . .

I dislike how some professions are treated... 99% of the people don't have their degree "revoked" or expire, just because they worked in a different field for a while....

That damned class I tooken last week didn't teach me shit that I didn't "know" from when I took that stuff 20 years ago, but I had to sit through it anyway. Should be, if you can pass the test, you should be able to move on and be certified.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Uh, oh. Sounds ominous.

I'm still trying to get the kids to realize that they don't fucking know everything and that with this customer, we're not in Kansas any more.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I will always have my degrees; they're earned and can't be taken away. It's the license to practice which is conferred by the state. It can be taken away, mostly for egregious infractions. In my case, I voluntarily let my license expire.

I did that with a professional designation here. I'd have to spend a few grand and sit through Hellish classes to renew it. Not a'gonna happen.


I might look into it Out West, but I may not have to if I'm building wee houses myself on dirt I own and I get all my paperwork.

I also said "reacharound."

Whoops. Guess I wadnt too quick on the uptake!

Beautiful! How is your trip?

Good. Having fun.

 

[Missk_2022]

Don't laugh! You might be surprised where IVs get started! If we can't find a vein in a conventional spot, we'll search out (ahem!) other areas until we can get a central line placed.

I started an IV in a boob... we gave code meds through it.... diabetic esrd on dialysis with a fistula... you do what you have to do

 

[Missk_2022]

Sounds like a great trip!

It is. We r having fun. Today is brunch pool and tonight we are going to see cats at a local.yheatre

 

[Wonderer67]

I only made not quite 12K.

Man, there was one stretch where I was smooshing back underbrush and vines and all kindsa shit where I’d smoosh for five feeet, back up, chainsaw for ten minutes, move shit, then move forward for five more feet and repeat.

It took me two hours to go 30 feet in that stretch.

 

[Wonderer67]

Sounds lovely!! Soak up every minute!
Thanks for the beautiful photos

Flashback on that last one

Classic! I used to do that all the time. I hadn’t thought about that in years!

And 15K steps.


I get in so many more steps Out West without even trying.


The landlady has made the renters an offer they don't refuse to sell off the parcel we cleared with Bo, as soon as we get the septic installed and the water run to it.

I never have watched and episode. I still wonder what they are about. I have seen pictures.

 

[Wonderer67]

We had some loud thunderstorms with heavy rain earlier tonight. OMG - you should hear the cricket symphony tonight.

A lovely sound. They are so loud this time of year!

 

[Wonderer67]

I'm going to get severe weather Saturday night into Sunday morning & very hot temps 101 degrees

Be careful RJ!

Me too. I must always have a pair of readers within reach.

 

[Wonderer67]

I hope you get feeling back soon if you haven't already.

Not quite there but it’s a little better…

 

[Wonderer67]

I agree. I have three sort of lame designations that last forever. But the one main one I need for work I have to renew every three years and jump thru hoops to stay qualified for. If work didn’t pay for some of the professional development training i need for it, I’d be fucked.

And if I lost that designation, I’d have a hard time working again if it lapsed.

 

[subdudeme13]

Hopefully that thing spins on out to sea. I needed to do the same but was on hospital duty, so the boys are going to have to step up. I should be home before it decides what to do with itself!

I am in Tampa area so this thing should miss us, I just want to be prepared. If you are hit by one it seems that the recovery is the hard part. There are people that still have not recovered from last year.

This sort of grosses me out, but I have such a thing for nurses, I’d be like, “ok.”

I tried cutting back. Tried being the key word. I don't drink two pots a day like I did so maybe I have cut back a little?

Sounds awesome!!!

Sounds awesome!!!

They want a piece of dirt to call their own. This way, they can do that.


And we can turn a tidy profit from holding the financing and making it work for them.


It's the 'Murrikan Way.

It’s the best way. Fuck the banks.

They wouldn't qualify. We have rental experience with them.


Besides, best thing is, if they Welsh on the deal halfway through, we get to keep all the money and take the dirt back.


Truly, bloodsuckery at its bestest!!!


And fuck the banks!!! And the poelease, too.
