Getting back to normal ASAP makes sense.
Saw the doctor again today--all stitches are out and I can resume bending the knee for therapy. Don't have to go back to the doctor
for 3 > weeks; by then I hope to have a good range of motion on it.
All sounds pretty encouraging.
Overall, very much so. Therapist says that the extention is very good,
flex could be better. Basically same as what the doctor said last week. (G)
What would be concerning is if they said
diametrically opposite things.
Self-destruction is generally bad, but it's
not for me to be the enforcer except maybe in
imminently (not just potential) life-threatening
situations.
If it's affecting me ( e.g.second hand smoke) and I can't move out of
its path, I will speak up and ask that the offending behavior (smoking,
in this instance) be stopped. I don't want my lungs to be damaged by
somebody else's self destructive behavior.
In that case you're enforcing for your benefit,
not for the offender's, which isn't our business.
Berlin is a bad place for everything, except (in
my experience) for living.
We enjoyed it overall. It was fun trying various doner kebap places; some of them had a very mild garlic sauce, others had more of an industrial strength one. We preferred the latter. (G)
Kept the nixies and pixies away.
Quite so!
Imitation Sprite[r]
categories: copycat, beverage
servings: 2 to 3
3 Tb white sugar, more to taste
2 Tb lemon juice, more to taste
1/2 (1 liter) bottle lime-flavored carbonated water
- (such as Perrier[r])
Combine sugar and lemon juice in a glass. Pour in
the carbonated water slowly. Stir mixture until
well combined.

Reminding me of those phenomena makes me shudder.
Yes, but like Berlin, we enjoyed our time in HI.
Te places have redeeming other values.
Very much so!
I can't say Hawaii is a favorite (too humid,
largely too commercial), but it has a lot
going for it.
Argh. Did you not get my pun, or are you carefully
ignoring it? We have to make some adjustments here.
Not trying to be spineless, just carefully ignoring. (G)
It's a bit of a strain nonetheless.
No bones about it!
Quite a stretch, that.
I'm not sure; have to remember to ask the doctor next time I'm in
the > clinic.
Well, it wouldn't be the silicon, and titanium
generally goes undetected.
Don't know if that's the combination used and if there are other
components to the knee (bone cement, don't know what's in that). But,
it's in now and hopefully will last a good long time.
Sometimes combined elements have completely
different and unexpected characteristics,
titanium and silicon sound pretty harmless,
and isn't bone cement not metallic at all?
We're finally getting more spring like weather so I may be able to check
the "herb garden", see what we do have growing.
That'll be fun, and being able to get down on
hands and knees is going to give you a sense
of accomplishment.
I've not read anything by the escapist authors
you cite.
I like them better than sci-fi, westerns or "romance".
I enjoy sci-fi if it's well done, but the
others you mention, they're right down there
with thrillers and suspense and stuff like that.
I used to be fond of toffee, too.
Had too much of it at some point?
That's G&S yet again.

Some people can only cook that way.
I shake my head at such people but appreciate
their trying.
At least they try.
My handful is probably about a quarter cup, maybe 1/3. If it were an ingredient I liked, and it didn't matter to the recipe, I'd add a
bit > more also--like kicking up the spicing on a number of things.
Girl hands.
Exactly! Not piano playingg hands; I can barely reach 7 notes,
stretching it.
That's truly small. Mine are small for a man - a
comfortable octave, a painful ninth.
course, it turned out to be people who vaguely
and superficially resembled those.
As long as those people weren't offended--realising your visual
problems > lead to a "whoops, you're not who I thought you were"
moment.
Let's just say I didn't say, whoops, I thought
you were dead.
Saved your skin that time. (G)
Mostly they're people I don't care about the
opinions of.
But you're also sensitive to scents (scentsitive?),
so the problem should not be so great.
Hasn't really been an issue for me.
I'd rather dishwasher wash with no detergent at
all than one of the pillows.
Does it matter what brand is used?
I've been sticking with Finish.
And finished with sticking?
Quite so.
These are sealed in a dissolving wrap, very little smell to them.
But > yes, fragrance free would be best.
Word to the wise: don't use Cascade.
I don't intend to, as long as I can get what I prefer.
Gosh that stuff smells. After a dishwash, there is so
much residue in the machine that it's hard to tell "clean"
from "dirty."
It's doubtful that scientists have explored
this avenue yet - not just because they're
shortsighted (largely true), but such a study
would not be financially profitable.
Sigh!
Let's face it, only the manufacturer of Dawn
would be in a position to fund such research.
And guess what the results of such research
would be.
3 guesses but the first 2 don't count?

It adds just a bit of something extra. I usually add a bit of spicy brown mustard (the main one we buy) to macaroni & cheese.
Sounds reasonable.
It adds just that little bit of something extra that makes people sit up
and say "that's really good!".
"Wow, I had to get seconds - did you put crack in it?"
