Range of motion is a gradual thing.

Very gradual at this point. The knee gets a bit from my normal
activities but not the real pushing as it would get in a therapy
session.

Patience, grasshopper.

In that case you're enforcing for your benefit,
not for the offender's, which isn't our business.

Yes, but if the offender stops the offending activity, he (or she)

gets > some benefit from it (stopping) as well, even if very short
term.
Yeah, but that's none of our business and shouldn't
enter into the equation.

Unless it's someone you care about.

But even then in the last analysis it's their
issue, not anyone else's.

Imitation Sprite[r]

Never been one of my favorite drinks; I prefer the colas.

1. I don't know of any beverage called Nixie Cola,
but there was a Dixie Cola, "the taste that never
surrenders," I am not kidding.

I'm not surprised.

At the less-than-stellar Honey Bear barbecue last
month I had RC for the first time in decades. That's
probably the closest I'll get to Dixie Cola. It was
kind of weakly ehh.

Well, perhaps, but there are plenty of other
places that compare favorably. And one has to
keep in the back of the mind that the aloha
spirit has a lot of simmering resentment behind
it, resulting from one of the great colonial
landgrabs of the 19th century.

I'm well aware of it. There was a strong push while we were there to
turn the state back over to the natives--and then defining at what % of Hawaiian ancestry do you say "you're not native'?

There're too many variables and twisty turns.

No bones about it!

Quite a stretch, that.

We do have that tendon-cy to do so.

We have to draw align here.

Sinews to me.

You didn't kneed to say that.

and isn't bone cement not metallic at all?

Not that I'm aware of.

I thought it was along the lines of
Krazy Glue.

I'll try to remember to ask next Tuesday.

Once we get some real spring weather--it's cool (high 40s/low 50s) again.

All over the place in Cambridge; substantially
lower than normal in San Diego but promising
to catch up within the next week.

We're now in the upper 50s/lower 60s, may get to 70s by Sunday.

Lilli's is back to normal; sadly, I'm in Boston
for meetings, where it's also back to normal.

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.

But, some people like them as a lot of that stuff is written.

There's a market to be sure.

For those that like them; always a market for any genre.

I was talking to a girl who did a reboot of the Wizard
of Oz called Dorothy Must Die, which became a New York
Times best-seller and engendered prequels and sequels;
interesting that something that sullies the memory of one
of the more venerated American fictional characters has
caught on with such rapidity.

That's truly small. Mine are small for a man - a
comfortable octave, a painful ninth.

So stick with something that doesn't require such a reach. (G)

So I stick with not playing the piano at all.

Same here.

It's said modern dishwashers do better if there's a
film of crud, because they're designed to clean off
a certain level of gucka, and if it's not there, the
surface of the dishes or pans gets eroded. But I was

They do have some residue, not coated in it tho.

referring to the fact that the residual odor of the
detergent is so strong that it masks the smell of
even dirty dishes.

Good reason to avoid it then.

I don't understand why the consuming public tolerates it.

"Wow, I had to get seconds - did you put crack in it?"

No, something better. (G)

Chocolate, as long as it's not the white stuff, and preferrably dark,
will make most anything better.

True enough, and there are some European white
"chocolates" that taste pretty good, though of
course not so good as the real thing.

Better Than Crack Bars

Leave out the coconut and I might consider trying one, see if it lives
up to the hype. (G)

And your point of comparison will be? [g]

Hi Michael,

Range of motion is a gradual thing.

Very gradual at this point. The knee gets a bit from my normal activities but not the real pushing as it would get in a therapy session.

Patience, grasshopper.

Had a good therapy session today. The knee had lost a few degrees on the
range of motion but that was to be expected with a 3 week lay off; it
should come back fast. In the mean time, the medical grade honey is working--the hole on top of the knee is closing.

In that case you're enforcing for your benefit,
not for the offender's, which isn't our business.

Yes, but if the offender stops the offending activity, he (or

she) > ML> gets > some benefit from it (stopping) as well, even if

Yeah, but that's none of our business and shouldn't
enter into the equation.

Unless it's someone you care about.

issue, not anyone else's.

True, but some people you don't want to see go. Others, OTOH, soon isn't
soon enough.

I usually don't go for anything but Coke, sometimes the Zevia cola but
rarely Pepsi. Haven't had an RC in decades.

There're too many variables and twisty turns.

Quite, so expect the status to remain quo for years to come.

No bones about it!

Quite a stretch, that.

We do have that tendon-cy to do so.

We have to draw align here.

Sinews to me.

You didn't kneed to say that.

Didn't fit the vein of our conversation?

Not that I'm aware of.

Krazy Glue.

I'll try to remember to ask next Tuesday.

Have to ask next week; this week we were deciding what option to try
with the knee since just filling the gap with Betadine and wrapping it
wasn't working. Decided to go with the medical grade honey (which
appears to be working) but if it doesn't work out in the long run, I'll
have to get the incision reopened and restitched.

We're back to peak pollen time but have had rain about every other day.
It's miserable with the pollen but sunny one day, dreary and wet the
next.

Advertising? Cascade seems to be one brand that does do a lot of that.

Just to see if it's a bar that's really worth a lot of hype.
