If you're going to wait an extra year, please make sure your doctor/clinic gives you a hemoccult test yearly. You've probably done them before but if not, it's a simple take home test used to detect the presence of blood in your stool. Follow the directions then take/mail it in.
Wait just a little bit until Wat has the commune going. I bet he gives you pick of the houses and will paint any color you want.
It's almost 2200 here; I can still see across the lake! Headed into the longest day!
Feel better, DKA. Rest, lots of fluids. The grass will still be there when you feel better.
I'm so thankful I don't have to feel this kind of anxiety anymore. #Grateful
Hmm... *gets out black book... thumbs to the Ws*
*sets down book*
*Picks up book again*
*sets down book... again*
Oh, c'mon! Make up your mind!! *taps foot impatiently*
That said, do not sell yourself short!! I remember Deepwater Horizon and the 11 souls we lost that day.
In an archetypal story of Good vs Evil played out IRL... there were several heroes on the rig that day. I shudder to think how much worse this could have been without them. And you do this work every day (well, except for the your land rotation w/ your Goddess). I doubt most people think of all that goes into a "simple fill up at the pump" or any of the other items in their life that have their origin in petrochemicals. Thank you for doing this dangerous, needed work.
Same!
Hands down agree!
I'm also heading into Summer with a dodgy A/C
I've never tried Tai Chi. I should check it out!
This is what I love about the overnight (to me) posts from @Lilianna23 - Truth Bombs like this
Time to ask if there's a discount on bulk purchases?
Now a nurse tells me about the straw after suffering for about 20 years of agony.I always told my patients to use a straw. You can bypass most of the taste buds that way. I had to threaten my hubs with an NG tube!
ArghLet K+ or me know. We can come over and insert an NG tube! You won't taste a thing!
My son and I worked security for the annual Air show here. We got there early for the training and walked around before the crowds to view the planes up close without a lot of people.
I totally get that Welcome Back Kotter reference - haha. I guess that’s the beauty of a thread like this …and... Part 2:
TIL - had to investigate this one. A bit more info here than what my mom gave me back in grade school.
Here are some resources I found helpful for anyone else thinking "what's a grey rock?"
Medical News Today: Grey Rock
Psych Central: Grey Rock Method
My Wellbeing: Grey Rock Technique
Too bad @nipplecaresser is out today
Right? Given so many have had theirs recently or will be, any tips or hacks for the prep?
For me? I lube up before the clear out. Otherwise it's excruciatingly painful. I find this worse than the prep actually. I tolerate simple vaseline - but make sure it's not scented. Yes - there is scented vaseline these days.
Right? I was really hoping this was an Australia Only critter, but nope
Ithis song!
Reminds me of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon... total cutie and marshmallow with a bit of snap.
Great prep hack, B2!
Sounds like a perfect match... my heart sings to hear the words "happy old dog".
Adding this to my lexicon!!
Does it really? Or are all those others really found under "Other meanings"?
*reaches for Black Book again*
Fall Prevention... Fall Survival looks a bit different I think... like "How to roll" and "Don't put your hands out"??
Yes!! The "Toaster Test"
(aka Unplug, Plug back in or Turn off/on)
Nah - when you have an out like this? Always throw the tech under the bus.
I think we all do the same to an extent. I do like discovering "new" be it music, authors, foods... anything really. At the same time, I do return again and again to my faves.
It's staying open to the new that I think is important.
Sounds like the perfect definition right here. Hope it works out for you!
Welcome back...
(cue theme song from Welcome Back, Kotter for mymusically
Happy Birthday!

I'm like @JesseWallace in this regard - I like looking at someone's profile when I first meet them and definitely before I send a DM
We're fans of a good pun around here, right @nipplecaresser and @Lilianna23 ?
When my care team says stuff like this, I like to ask how they fared when they had the test/procedure/whatever done themselves (or their mom, wife, sister, daughter). Their response helps inform my decisions - that and my own, independent research.
Sending huge Lucky Charm vibes your way.
Same, girl! My A/C has been off almost all weekend. Given what it's doing and its age? I'm expecting I'll need to replace both furnace and A/C... and it's almost certain if will not be completed before some really hot and smoky weather hits. So then I also get to play the "Home or Hospital Game" with reactions.
I've put out a Princess Lea distress call to who I hope will be my Obi Wan Kenobi (aka guy who did the orig installs).
. I tried to tell them my job and wife are stressful and I didn’t need to do this…they weren’t buying it! 
Thanks, T! You, as well!
Morning. What side of the planet are you on today OM?
Back on the east coast of USA!
