hi dear friend :) *hugs* How was your dinner?
3:57 am
grannyrose

very nice. grilled chicken breast schnitzel with steamed vegs. tummy very full...
3:58 am
sprite

sounds delish
3:59 am
grannyrose

saw the surgeon today re don's shoulder. we have opted for a guided injection of his shoulder. then wait 2 months for review. the brachial tendon is what giving him all the trouble.
3:59 am
grannyrose

it was delish, hin...and not a lot of fat either.
4:00 am
sprite

ok... sounds good. Painful injection, but if it helps...
4:01 am
grannyrose

yeah...i made the surgeon laugh. i told him there is no 'jesus' handle on the x-ray table. he has asked for only a small amount of fluid with the drug. not the 200mls i had to endure.
4:02 am
sprite

lol!
4:02 am
grannyrose

if in 2 months there is no improvement...then we move to step 2. an MRI...
4:03 am
sprite

ok. Let's hope this does the trick.
4:04 am
grannyrose

i have emphasised to don...he has to be 100% well BEFORE i go to the ortho re my hips.
4:05 am
sprite

yes. You need him a 100% after.
4:06 am
sprite

besides, not a bad means of pressure to get him to look after that shoulder...
4:06 am
grannyrose

col....you think??
4:06 am
sprite

*serene smile*

I just read this and I think it is amazing. It is written by John Nichols, a co-founder of the media reform group Free Press "We who practice and appreciate the right to freedom of expression must stand now and always in solidarity with every journalist in every country who challenges corruption, abuses of power, violence and the intolerance that underpins violence. We must do so in the defense of freedom of expression, in the name of pluralism and in the knowledge that without the liberty of wide-ranging and controversial discourse, there can be no real debate nor anything akin to true democracy." I hope this is ok to post.

I love this from the article also. "When French officials proposed in 2012 to block demonstrations against the magazine, the editor objected, asking: “Why should they prohibit these people from expressing themselves? We have the right to express ourselves, they have the right to express themselves, too.” It is why I dont make them say it. They will learn, I pray.

How much snow did you get, Mary?
12:38 pm
Mary

only about 3" but drove over it last night so cleaned in up. Took me a little less than an hour.
12:40 pm
Nef

We've hired someone to do our driveway & steps if it snows over 3 inches; I love it.
Of course, last year they did it for more than 2 inches; but he had to raise the rates and amounts this year :-(
12:42 pm
Mary

Tried to hire someone but he used a truck with a plow and rammed into the concrete flower box. So I do it myself with the help of my neighbor when it's a lot
12:46 pm
MollyL

No one who contracts for snow removal around here does it with a shovel. It's all done by plow or snow blower.
12:46 pm
Nef

This guy used to use a plow, but now they only use snowblowers. 1 new feature this year is they actually clean the snow off the cars before they shovel. It's really made a difference (for me)not having to clean off the car and end up with a snow /ice hump at my cardoor
12:48 pm
Mary

well by this summer I am planning on moving to Santa Fe NM. My son is building a casita (small house) for me on his property, so this is the last year (Ihope) for snow..Yeah.

Wow, lucky you
12:50 pm
Nef

Good for you, Mary. I'd love to move south, but DH doesn't tolerate the heat (he has M.S.) and every time I think about it he says "they have bigger bugs down south." So, I stay here in MN
12:50 pm

So Nef you see a lot of snow. I'm in Chicago area and last year was horrible. This year not bad, but it's still Jan.

Yeah, last year my 4 foot chain link fence was either invisible or maybe 6" high all winter (from Nov. through March. It wasn't pleasant
12:54 pm

12:57 pm

Nef, couldn't you move somewhere with a milder (not hotter) climate. The severe cold in Minnesota can't be good for his MS either.
12:58 pm

Actually, Molly, cold is good for him. He wears a cooling vest if he's outside in the summer.
1:00 pm

Oh, that is interesting. My nephew has MS and from what I have read about it, extreme temperatures either way seem to be a problem. I guess your husband is just used to the cold.

Staying warm up there in the great white north?
7:19 pm
crosshair

Yup< going down to minus 20c tonight but am tucked in for the night:)
7:19 pm
crosshair

sure beats the minus 37 we had last week:))
7:20 pm
wht

Isn't it amazing how quickly we get used to cold weather, and what would seem cold in October seems quite tolerable in January.
7:21 pm
crosshair

it is. There are many times that i remember a warm March day of 8 c and we are all out there in t-shirts and shorts lol
7:21 pm
MollyL

Very true, Wht. I am loving anything above 40 these days.
7:22 pm
MollyL

But it's not t-shirt and shorts weather for me.
7:23 pm
wht

Yes, it got up to a balmy 36 F here today.
7:24 pm
crosshair

mm. Our forecasters change their minds every 5 minutes. Now it is due to go below minus 25c with the wind chill:(
7:24 pm
wht

I think they invented wind-chill just to scare people and make thinks sound worse.
7:25 pm
penquis

hello all....first an 5?
7:25 pm
crosshair

It is not a farce. i am well aware of the havock that wind chill can cause when out in the biush
7:25 pm
crosshair

minus 20 with no wind is easier on you than minus 10 with a 25k breeze
7:26 pm
wht

I remember leaving Boston for a business trip to Fort Lauderdale. It was 2 degrees F when I left. The weather people in Florida were going on about how cold it was and with the wind chill it would feel like it was 46.
7:26 pm
wht

Come close, penq
7:26 pm

Wind chill can kill
7:27 pm

7:27 pm

Crossy, I know that wind chill is real. I just think that the TV weather folks often use it mostly for dramatic effect.
7:27 pm
crosshair

When we lived in North Bay. we had one winter day where it was minus 44c, but the wind drove the wind chill values below minus 55c
7:28 pm
crosshair

lol, like "polar vortex" you mean lol
7:28 pm
MollyL

I think wind chill is more real in the frozen tundra of Canada than it is here in metropolitan cities.
7:28 pm
crosshair

Wew have polar vortex here... it is called "winter"
7:29 pm
wht

Exactly. The polar vortex is a real thing too.
7:29 pm
crosshair

Crossy goes out to mow the tundra...
7:29 pm
wht

I wish that you would do a better job of keeping the polar vortex up there by the poles where it belongs, Crossy.
7:30 pm
crosshair

I have been up north of the treeline and true tundra is a P.I.T.A mosquito's come out of it in a cloud to eat you alive and under the right conditions it can suck up construction equipment and you will never see it again
7:31 pm
penquis

dh word?
7:31 pm

I will try and do better, wht
7:31 pm

Wht, I agree. Keep it up there for all the people who actually "like" freezing cold temperatures.
7:31 pm

Thanks, crossy. I knew I could count on you. :^)

That which does not kill us makes us stronger, molly:)

Yeah right, and God never gives you more than you can handle.

No, god has a sense of humour is all.

On the plus side, i always have cold beer and I have not been bitten by a mosquito in months:)

Wht, I know the Buddhist word you were referring to. It is actually well known enough to have been used in the popular TV series "LOST"
7:43 pm
wht

I was hoping that it was not totally obscure.
7:44 pm
crosshair

I have heard of that show... never seen it though:))
7:45 pm
wht

After all, Jack Kerouac used it in a book title.
7:46 pm
crosshair

Have heard of Jack Kerouac, but never read any of his novels yet:)
7:47 pm
wht

Well, I do specialize in the obscure, crossy.
7:48 pm
MollyL

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers...Kerouac is not obscure...
7:48 pm
crosshair

Not to worry, i read some authors that many would find a tad out there
7:49 pm
wht

Well, a familiarity with the obscure is a real benefit when dealing with Enable. :^)
7:50 pm
crosshair

sadly it seems that most of my favorite writes have been dead for decades... or centuries:(
7:50 pm
crosshair

Enable is obscurity personified;)
7:51 pm

was recently reading plays of Ben Jonson from the 17th century:)
7:52 pm

Poor gy was A favorite of King James, but still died broke and was buried upright in a plot of only 18x18 inches
7:53 pm

Crossy, I have spent a fair amount of time reading writings of 17'th century Quaker writers. No one as well known as Ben Johnson.
7:53 pm
crosshair

Am also reading Middleton and Thomas Kyd:)
7:54 pm
crosshair

The Spanish tragedy was interesting
7:55 pm
crosshair

What is interesting is how the lives and plays of those writers all overlapped each other. Shakespeare just got lucky in become THE name of that era

Shakespeare actually had a part in Kyds play:)
7:57 pm

When I am reading some of the religious tracts from that period, I think I can see the origins of the Internet flame war.
7:57 pm
crosshair

lol. it was a brutal time
7:57 pm
crosshair

The church had more power than the goverment of the time
7:57 pm
wht

Of course, the printed broadside was the new technology of the day.
7:59 pm
wht

Well, it was hard to distiguish between the church and the government sometimes.
7:59 pm
crosshair

Half of the playwrights of the day got themselves arrested for heresy and acts of "lewed" behaviour
8:00 pm
wht

After all, parts of the Parliament's army in the English Civil War considered itself as a gathered church.
8:01 pm
wht

And the Quakers were always dancing around the edges of the heresy laws.
8:01 pm
crosshair

I love what one review said about one of the bards plays, and i am paraphrasing here... "the man is well known for never having the need of removing a word while writing, but perhaps he should be better known for not having put pen to paper in the first place"
8:02 pm
crosshair

17th century flame wars lol
8:02 pm

I know writers like that, Crossy.
