we have a signed offer for our old house... now we just have to see what happens with the inspection (makes me a little nervous)
1:18 am
rururocks

oh great.. you have the new one all set now?
1:19 am
VolleymomDee

yep cept a small part of storage area in basement - we'll probably wait til fall to go through that area - mostly books and seasonal decorations, photos, and that kind of stuff
1:19 am
VolleymomDee

a good indoors project, but rest of house and garage are all unpacked
1:20 am
rururocks

don't you hate moving thought
1:20 am
rururocks

I'm never moving again... I"m dying in this house
1:20 am
VolleymomDee

1st move in my adult life - we lived in same house for 34 years... yes, I hated packing and unpacking
1:21 am
VolleymomDee

I completely understand that feeling... corny, but I thank God daily for no stairs... hopefully they will wheel me out of here
1:21 am
rururocks

when I was young .. I moved so many times it was ridiculous
1:21 am
rururocks

nevah again
1:21 am
VolleymomDee

no wonder you hate it... never have been fond of the idea... we moved 2 times before we moved into our old house
1:22 am
VolleymomDee

never say never...
1:22 am
rururocks

god.. I've moved no less than 15 times in my life
1:22 am
rururocks

maybe more than that
1:22 am
VolleymomDee

have a friend that has moved over 20 times... really crazy
1:23 am
VolleymomDee

not my cup of tea for sure
1:23 am
VolleymomDee

it was odd moving here though... all our "stuff" just fit... very strange
1:23 am
rururocks

it's always been hard to do.. but now at this stage of my life.. no thanks
1:23 am
rururocks

it was meant to be dee
1:24 am
VolleymomDee

I think this move wrecked one of my lumbar discs... still having issues... praying I won't have to have surgery of some kind... I really think so, ru...
1:24 am
negativeneil

Ugh. Back again... I think.
1:24 am
negativeneil

Maybe it means you're where you're meant to be, Dee.
1:24 am

The stuff just fitting I mean.
1:25 am
negativeneil

Oh nm. ru said that. :P
1:25 am
rururocks

ouch.. you shouldn't have done any lifting dee
1:25 am
VolleymomDee

for sure, neil, for sure... details on this house fell into place too smoothly, and the move went exceptionally smooth, and our stuff and colors all fit..
1:25 am
rururocks

pretty soon you'll start punning neil
1:25 am
VolleymomDee

I know, it was dumb... thought I was 25... picked up a box, twisted, and knew I was in trouble
1:26 am
rururocks

<---painfully aware I'm not 25 anymore
1:27 am
VolleymomDee

something else cool... we always had blue heron at old house... not usually around here, and we have seen one 8 different times here... was stunned when he landed in the back yard
1:27 am
VolleymomDee

how's your knee doing now ru
1:27 am
rururocks

we have a blue heron at our pond too dee
1:27 am
rururocks

knee sucks
1:28 am
rururocks

I have to give up praying at church :)
1:28 am
VolleymomDee

They are absolutely amazing. I love watching them.
1:28 am
VolleymomDee

Did I tell you hubby is going to have to have his right knee replaced (eventually)? He is bone on bone... cortisone has removed pain, but it will be inevitable.
1:29 am
VolleymomDee

He thought it was a torn meniscus, so he was shocked and not very happy about it.
1:29 am
rururocks

oh.. geez. that's where I am.. but avoiding the cortisone shots
1:30 am
VolleymomDee

He abhors shots, but they did it before he could think about it... said pain reduced immediately and within 3 days had no pain at all. They told him they can do them every 3 months, until that doesn't hold, then he'll need surgery.
1:31 am
rururocks

oh. man.. I'm sure he's not happy about it
1:31 am
VolleymomDee

He said he could not believe the immediate relief.
1:31 am
VolleymomDee

Definitely not... said it was probably caused from playing basketball and working in construction 100 years ago :)
1:31 am
rururocks

but it softens the bones
1:32 am
rururocks

tennis killed me
1:32 am
rururocks

I am such an idiot.. but I loved playing.. I played too much
1:32 am
VolleymomDee

so what... if a replacement has to be done later, it really won't matter
1:33 am
VolleymomDee

tennis does destroy knees unfortunately
1:33 am
negativeneil

Wow. I didn't know that.
1:33 am
rururocks

yeah.. I think so.. I'm stalling.. I haven't found my big black nurse yet..lol
1:33 am
negativeneil

But I guess it makes sense.
1:34 am
VolleymomDee

LOL his shot giver was a scrawny PA... did it lickety split... count of 4 and it was over
1:35 am
VolleymomDee

said he didn't have a chance to even think about it, and he was astounded at the difference ru... no reason to be in horrific pain... he isn't even limping now... (not sure how long it will last, but at least for now he can do what he wants)
1:36 am
rururocks

usually 3-4 to if you're lucky 6 months
1:37 am
VolleymomDee

fingers crossed for that
1:37 am
rururocks

i'm stuck.. damn it
1:38 am
VolleymomDee

They would like to be able to hold him off til he's 60 + (since the knees do have a "life")
1:38 am
VolleymomDee

what letter?
1:38 am
rururocks

yes.. that's what I heard too.. the knees only last so long
1:39 am
rururocks

and you certainly don't want to repeat the surgery when you're 80 +
1:39 am
VolleymomDee

used to be you could only have one knee replacement, but now the research says two per lifetime
1:41 am
VolleymomDee

plus this will be a cheaper solution for awhile... we have a HUGE deductible, so it would be nice to postpone it for awhile
1:41 am
rururocks

i'm afraid to figure out what it's going to cost me
1:42 am
rururocks

I just had a bone scan and mri and insurance only picked up a little I had to shell out $4 K
1:42 am
rururocks

insurance $1,700 .... ru $4,300
1:42 am
VolleymomDee

that really sucks
1:42 am
rururocks

I'm afraid to guess what the surgery costs will be
1:44 am
negativeneil

Ouch, ru. :(
1:44 am
negativeneil

That's ridiculous just for 2 scans?
1:44 am
VolleymomDee

When he had his meniscal surg, we didn't pay much at all for actual surg... just for some of the testing (like you mentioned)... I think our ded is $5,000 or $6,000
1:45 am
VolleymomDee

MRI's are exorbitant
1:46 am
rururocks

yes.. they are ridiculous
1:46 am
rururocks

yep neil about and hour and a half..
1:48 am
rururocks

$7 K later.. Doctor.. "Well.. your knee is a mess and you need surgery.. Ru "" I could have told you that and saved $7K
1:48 am
VolleymomDee

that's no lie...
1:49 am
rururocks

are the a's all weird?
1:50 am
VolleymomDee

the ab's are... ab 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4... one strange aw 6 rest pretty normal
1:50 am
rururocks

screw it.. I need to list I guess
1:51 am
VolleymomDee

I did, but my brain was "fuzzy" tonight lol
1:51 am

Well, I need to get some rest... rain came today, so hopefully won't be so sore tomorrow.

7:12 am

He was amazing, the way he could see the good in life, even when people were unkind to him. That is a lesson I am still learning.

3 pm or not, I could use a drink now after having to deal with a govt agency.
2:03 pm
andrew in drag

And since the plan was to share stories of him, I'll tell you mine:
I was in the club where he worked, and he was really busy, doing drinks, when this %£(@~ of a man started harrassing me for how I was dressed, since he figured out I was male. I remember Jesse turned around and said, "she's more of a man than you'll ever be, and more of a woman than you'll ever get." And I always remembered him for that. I thought it was lovely.
2:04 pm
MollyL

I agree Lilliann. It's a shame we don't have more people like Jesse around.
2:04 pm

I don't think I know who you're talking about, but I'll raise a glass.

Champ, Jesse's partner, Frank, said much the same thing on Babanon. Frank posted this: I hope those of you that loved him can take solace in the fact
that he is now free from the pain of his illness, as well as the
influence of those who caused him such damage in his life.
Though neither of us were religious people,
I am sure a soul as pure and kind as his will have
gone on to a better place.

4:44 pm

4:44 pm
MollyL

Not a good night for the rooftop deck.
4:45 pm
MollyL

No Mag, he's been worried as hell about tornadoes.
4:45 pm
magazinemom

We used to have a weather guy we called "chicken little" because every time it stormed he acted like the sky was falling.
4:45 pm
magazinemom

Saw that y'all were getting nasty weather in that area
4:45 pm
jmcnrick

i think i would prefer a tornado over a wind sheer that they are also predicting. . . at least tornadoes skip some spots
4:46 pm
jmcnrick

i think topper is his actual name
4:46 pm
magazinemom

Oh my!
4:46 pm
magazinemom

4:46 pm

4:46 pm
MollyL

I have grave concerns about a Bradford Pear tree out back that the condo people have not kept properly pruned.
4:47 pm
magazinemom

I've lost more shingles and trees to downbursts and shears than tornadoes.
4:48 pm
jmcnrick

4:49 pm
MollyL

I know where that is.
4:49 pm
lilliann

i hope all in harms way keep safe and your families
4:49 pm
jmcnrick

4:50 pm
lilliann

could it fall on your house molly?
4:50 pm
jmcnrick

i am okay as long as the tower next to me stands. . .if it falls i am screwed
4:51 pm
magazinemom

On Tuesday we had a cell phone tower completely bent and twisted by just wind. Hope your tower remains standing jmc!
4:51 pm
MollyL

No Lilliann, what that tree will do is split in different directions, as it is branch heavy. None of those directions will do my place any damage. I will just be sad because it is "my tree".
4:51 pm
lilliann

omg jmc...is there no where else you could go until it's over where it is safe?
4:51 pm
jmcnrick

it is the fox news tower. . . it is lord knows how tall

4:53 pm
lilliann

4:53 pm

That is nuts, considering we have round two of storms yet to come.
5:59 pm

you're right. . . if he brought you flowers now you'd have to wonder if he got told you only had weeks to live. . .
6:02 pm
MollyL

One of my girlfriends has a husband like that. The rest of the women in our circle buy her flowers and nice things to pick up his slack. Women treat women better than men treat women.

6:04 pm

7:40 pm
uusue2

hi, jes! We are trying to feed the little cat separately from the big one - so far the big one hasn't eaten the little one's food, although the little one hasn't eaten it either
7:40 pm
lilliann

yay!!wtg lbd!!
7:40 pm

7:43 pm
jesdraggon

heh. well, it's a start, sue :)
7:43 pm
jesdraggon

yay dawg!
7:44 pm
jesdraggon

yeah, smarty's doing well - now if only his foot heals up and he comes back sound, he might be adoptable.
7:44 pm
lilliann

is that the hoese in your icon jes?
7:44 pm
lilliann

*horse
7:45 pm
jesdraggon

yes lilliann. rescued him and 2 others (who've since been adopted) last december.
7:46 pm
lilliann

do you have him now and how long will the recovery take?
7:47 pm
jesdraggon

yes, i still have him. I don't know - that's the problem. I don't know if he will ever be sound.
7:47 pm
lbdawger

he looks like he'd make a good pet, if not a riding companion, Jes. I hope he heals up real good, and finds a great family to love him.
7:47 pm
jesdraggon

he's pretty - a good pasture ornament if nothing else :)
7:48 pm
jesdraggon

but pasture ornaments are difficult to adopt out.
7:48 pm
lilliann

aww, bless him. if we live in the U.S and near to you my bairn would help you every day and want him as her own
7:51 pm
uusue2

ha, finally passed half way!
7:52 pm
lilliann

i really hope he recovers jes.he deserves a good life!
7:52 pm
lilliann

yay sue!
7:52 pm
jesdraggon

yay sue!
7:52 pm
lbdawger

go UU!
7:52 pm
uusue2

and what lilli said - I hope you find someone who needs (or wants) a pasture ornament :-)
7:52 pm
jesdraggon

yep, hoping that too, lilliann
7:53 pm
lilliann

pasture ornament?? is that a horse just left in a field?
7:57 pm
Good Enough

just listed and it's really not helping me at all.
7:59 pm
lilliann

it's this grid good,it's not good!! :)
8:00 pm
jesdraggon

yes, just stands around making the field look prettier.
8:00 pm
Good Enough

maybe i need to come back with a fresh eye later.
8:00 pm
Good Enough

or maybe i need a drink?
8:00 pm
lilliann

i think so good :0
8:02 pm
lilliann

have a glassof wine or something stronger good and you may be alright :)
8:03 pm
lilliann

do they get human contact jes or do they end up being like wild horses...as in do they get ridden or walked around or humans feeding them by hand?
8:11 pm
lilliann

i like that the horses get adopted but i hate that thet are called "pasture ornaments". so do they just run around wild in the fields?
8:11 pm
jesdraggon

well right now i don't have time to do anything with them. they aren't feral though. i can't take much credit for smarty's manners, as he was trained before i brought him home.
8:13 pm
jesdraggon

it's a joke, lilliann. one of my pasture ornaments is the pony i've had since i was 11. he's not unloved, just not getting ridden any more.
8:16 pm
lilliann

i think you're doing a great job jes as you're busy with so many animals and i take my hat off to you, but i didn't like the word ornament, we grow up in the uk with our elders putting ornaments on their fire places and shelves which are made of china or glass
8:17 pm
lilliann

actually, not justelsers, we all do it
8:18 pm
lilliann

*elders
8:20 pm
jesdraggon

well, I guess you're entitled to not like it, but the word isn't an insult. it's an accurate, if joking, assessment. the pony is old, he's not getting used for anything, but he's pretty. I have a sentimental attachment to him. How is that not an ornament? if I didn't care about him, I'd either euthanize him or send him to auction. Instead I continue to indefinitely feed a horse that isn't capable of work. That's what a pasture ornament is, and what everyone I've ever heard use the phrase means by it.
8:20 pm
lilliann

aww bless, what is his name jes and how old is he now? i was'nt having a go by the way
8:22 pm
jesdraggon

Injun Jo and he's 32
8:22 pm
lilliann

i've just never heard it here,but i wasn'thaving a go atyou, at the end of the day youlove your horses and all the others you take care of.xx
