I’m in the cafeteria on campus right now. Since you are in a college cafeteria it’s called the “maybe this won’t kill me or make me fart in class meal.” 😃 And on that note we shall retire to yon bedroom to watch teevee until sleepy time. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

It’s now mostly dark out. It was chilly enough today for the furnace to come on, dammit! I think I’ll go read myself to sleep. _ **MWAH!!** _ ---

I’m in the cafeteria on campus right now. I once ate a foot long chili dog at 7:30 A.M. in the hope that I would die and not have to take an Electronics II final. High frequency transistor response. I lived and passed. 🙂 ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > Survey says… I have two knees full of arthritis. Meniscus and ligaments are OK, but cartilage is about 80-90% gone. For now, the plan is to try injections of some sort of gel that aims to improve the internal cushioning. Avoid surgical replacement if you can. It may be worth an IMHO thread but in my experience with friends and relatives, they don’t work that well and they wear out too quickly. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Do you do television commercials? :dubious: No ------- but she has been known to play doctor now and then??? ---

I’m not sure of the exact spelling as I only heard it pronounced, but I was standing next to a seemingly intelligent woman who’s 3 yo is named [Simian](http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simian). That boy is going to be teased mercilessly once he’s in school & the other kids figure out what that word means. ☹ ---

Not if the surgeon uses the right equipment. My hips are 14 years old and still work great. And if not for the fractured patella (my own doing, months after surgery) my 6 yr old right knee is doing great. ---

I finally finished the third thing I had to do, which meant I almost got the second thing I had to do done , which meant I still have to the first thing I started. then I did laundry. Now it’s beer time. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > And some folks I dislike morning, noon, and night. I aim to please.:p:) > [@Sahirrnee](#): > > I watch a lot of crime shows and a lot of time the police will search a house and say this or that is out of place. I think how do they know? One of the things mentioned last night that hand lotion was on the table next to the couch. I keep hand lotion next to the couch. My hands get dry, I have lotion next to the bed and next to the sinks. > I can’t remember some of the other things mentioned, but I think if the police ever search my house they are going to have a lot of fun figuring out why everything is out of place. Silly woman, the lotion goes in the basket in the basement well. Or so I’ve heard. > [@anyrose](#): > > **gotti** , ask your doc about Uflexxa. It worked for me. Side effects may include headaches, nausea ,and terminal cuteness.😉 ---

It’s gonna be chilly and dreary and rainy again and I have zero motivation. I was thinking I should make up a document with our assorted accounts and passwords and such, in case of emergency. I handle all that stuff and \*\*FCD \*\*never cared to mess with any of it. So for his sake, or for our daughter’s should we both be incapacitated or dead together, I should probably get all the info in one place. Yep, another exciting day in paradise. 😃 Happy Thursday!! ---

The injections worked for my arthritic knee. Hoping it works for you too. The effects may not be permanent but I can get more injections after the six month mark. _ **BLURF** _ I guess I should get up and get ready for irk. I wish I could stay home today to watch the Masters. Bubba Watson is a good friend of my brother’s family. My nephew is his financial advisor. Have a good day all.
