I'm to the point now where I can do a few things around the house but
not up to my former level. Still a lot of time with nothing else to do
but I can sit and use a keyboard. But, there's improvement every day; we
went to the farmer's market for a bit today. I used just the cane and
Every day and in every way. And all the vendors
perked up when they saw you and asked how you
were feeling.
Steve's arm instead of the walker. I'm using more of the cane, less of
the walker every day. It's easier to empty the dishwasher with the
former instead of the latter. (G)
Hey, I'd have thought that the dishwasher should
empty the dishwasher!
Interesting thought, and not altogether unlikely as the world
today > ML> is > so different from even Industrial Revolution times.
It's interesting the new problems that keep
cropping up; whether they're truly new or
just being identified is open to speculation.
Possibly a good combination of new and just being identified.
Maybe, but why good.
OK, some may not be able tp be termed "good".
What, never? No never. What never? ...
My lungs have a scarring that is indicative
of lung cancer or tuberculosis, but to the
best of my knowledge I've not had either.
Sometimes it shows up on the X-rays, and
sometimes it doesn't.
But were you ever in places for an extended time where there were
smokers? Did your parents smoke?
Never. Never. That refers to all smokables.
Freshman year I got a carton of cigarettes
but didn't finish the first pack. Occasional
tokes of pot (very seldom, and only socially,
as they say, and I didn't inhale, which was
for people who have sensitive lungs not a lie)
or of a promised-to-be-delicious cigar (the
promise did not come true), that's it. I'd say
the nastiness equivalent of two or three packs
of burning leaves product in my whole life. I
admit I have always enjoyed campfires and
fireplaces but have not gone out of my way to
inhale their fumes - as you can guess from
having met me, I hate fumes in general; nor have
I ever lived in a situation where there were
greater than normal particulate emissions. If
there's an environmental cause, it's simply
living in an urban environment for over 65 years.
Never one of my favorite cereals; I never ate it once I left
home. > ML> The question arises who eats it and why.
My parents liked it and thought us kids would also.
They were Depression babies, and maybe Wheatena
gave them depression?
Could be--Mom was born the same year the Depression started but Dad was
7, almost 8 when it did.
Hah, unnecessary I'd think in most cases -
the customers are better educated about the
product than the kids who tried to steal it.
Unless they've smoked so much of it that their brains are well
addled.
Heh. Marijuana is not all it's cracked
up to be (cocaine is all it's cracked up
to be).
And chiropractors aren't all they're croacked up to be.
They aren't as well-adjusted as they would like
you to believe. But there has to be a back story
to all that.
All sorts of stuff are in fact brought on
airplanes. It's instead trying to ensure
the good will of those who fly that is the
best deterrent to violence. Profiling is
the proven most effective solution, only
it's technically illegal in the US.
Unfortunatly, but a lot of it is done casually.
Stereotyping developed because it's an easy
way to process information. It has the same
problems as statistically based anything, though.
If it had been real gold, none of that
would have been necessary. Accept no
substitutes.
Can't afford the real stuff as thread. Jewelry, OTOH, is more gold
than > silver for me.
And less likely to set off a detector.
Don't think it has yet, but the metal in my wrists and elbow has. Have
to ask my doctor what's in the new knee.
Well, your orthopedic implants aren't as
hypomagnetic as those more precious metals.
That's probably not a real word, but it's
more accurate than "nonmagnetic," a word
I hate as much as zucchini.
Good reason to clean out the patch of back yard I want to use for a kitchen garden and experiment with different basils. Won't happen
this > year tho.
Why not - it's supposed to be easy and killproof
in warm climates; not so much as mint, but hardy
enough.
Have to see how the knee rehabs this spring. It might be a project to do
over a couple of years--clean out the bed in the fall, plant the next
spring. We do have a few herbs back there but I'm not sure what at this point.
As far as I'm concerned, the hardier herbs,
thyme, sage, oregano, maybe basil and rosemary,
are most of what you need as well as the ones
you're most likely to have popping up.
Little tiny trees often bear heavily - maybe
it's the Napoleon complex in botanic form?
Right now it's not much more than a stick in the ground. Have to see
what comes of it this spring.
... Books are better than TV; they exercise your imagination.
For those of us whose imagination needs furher
exercise.
