Puggy don’t make me sick Serial Mom on you. 
Everybody knows white shoes (and stockings) are only worn between Easter and Labor Day. To do otherwise is a big ol’ fashion foxpaw!
Tigs - I’m sorry you’re having difficulties. I am very surprised they didn’t keep you in a few days for just this very reason. But Maybe you shouldn’t wait til tomorrow to talk to the doc. Infections are very dangerous when prosthestics are involved. Should the area around it become infected, it may have to be removed, and a new one cannot be put in until the infection is cleared. Surely your surgeon warned you about this? Please go to the ER today.

Happy Birthday olives!!!

I’ll put on my Sousa CD for some birthday marching music.
Spats, a shot down the hole? <SNERK>
Mork, you should have told her you could pencil her in for Tuesday, 10:45a.m.
Happy Birthday, Olives!!!
Well, I’ve had a little nap and I’ve run the vacuum thru the house, so there’s less of Bernie spread all over the place. I’m having some yogurt, hoping it’ll help settle my tummy. And I shed my robe in favor of some grubbies so I can slap a second coat on the bedroom walls. But first I need to stuff a couple of checks into a couple of envelopes, and whine once again how my cable company is not set up to acccept on-line payments. Buncha stoopidheads!
And off I gooooooooo…
Hullo, all.
Instead of wishing Olives a happy birthday, I’ll wish she was plunk in the middle of a James Bond martini.
Am off to forage for food soon. Basement wall guys just left–we should be water dribble free now. Got a bedframe for #1 son yesterday, and a bedside table, and a lamp at Ikea. Now we need carpet, trim and ceiling light fixtures.
Am having a lazy day and frankly, it feels great!
:eek: :eek:
According to these guys that is so Twentieth Century. 
I hate to argue with a gay man, who supposedly knows all about faaa-buuuu-lussss fashion but:
From wikipedia:
"An old custom prohibits the wearing of white after Labor Day. The custom is rooted in nothing more than popular fashion etiquette.[1] In actuality, the etiquette originally stated that white shoes were the taboo while white or “winter white” clothes were acceptable.[2] This custom is fading from popularity as it continues to be questioned and challenged, particularly by leaders in the fashion world. “Fashion magazines are jumping on this growing trend, calling people who ‘dare’ to wear white after Labor Day innovative, creative, and bold. Slowly but surely, white is beginning to break free from its box, and is becoming acceptable to wear whenever one pleases.”
So, nyah! 
White: it’s not just for summer anymore! (It’s stupid not to, anyway. Especially when it’s hot in October!)
Not to worry, Rosie – I had a long talk with the doctor’s office about my various symptoms, they’re going to talk to the doctor and/or his assistant (a PA who’s VERY knowledgeable) and call me back if I need to do anything differently, but they aren’t worried that the difference between today and tomorrow could be critical. I just finished up my last dose yesterday of a heavy-duty antibiotic for asymptomatic bacteria in my urine anyway, so I’m fairly well dosed up. And trust me, if even for a moment I think things are getting any worse, I’ll be heading to the ER so fast it’ll make your head spin!
They kept me the standard three days post-surgery, and sent me home with a long list of symptoms to look for, which actually is the main reason I even called the doctor – normally I would have written this off to over-activity causing swelling. I’m in “better safe than sorry” mode right now as it is, so I’m really not worried.
And this morning at least the ice on my knee actually feels cold, unlike last night!
BioTigs good you’re keepin’ a watch on things. Oh and when you’re all healed I say go give that PT a swift bionic kick. 
Puggy those two dress really ugly IMO, so their opinion does not count. 
Rebo fine, where white shoes during fall and winter. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you get warts, cause wearing white shoes after Labor Day and before Easter causes warts.
Ok, back to job huntin’ stuff.
Back from taking the doggies out for a pee-n-poo walk in the yard. Imagine my delight to see yet another pine tree down, this one crashed into our fence beside the road. Fortunately, there’s enough of a shoulder that it didn’t get to the road, but we’ll still have to get out there with a chainsaw. I think that’s 6 or 7 pines down so far, and at least as many more that are dead where they stand. I understand there’s a pine borer in this area that’s killing them off. Luckily, most of ours are away from the house, so when they fall, the worst they do is crash into the fence.
There are 2 close by, tho, one that’s dead and one that’s leaning waaaaaaaaaay over and waaaaaaaaay too close to the corner of the house. If we could top it, we’d be OK - this weekend we were discussing just that. It’s times like this that I hate having a large yard. People in condos don’t have to worry about trees, do they?? On the other hand, I don’t have to worry about condo fees…
I put the second coat of paint on the bedroom wall - it looks mighty fine. And I worked up a bit of a sweat, so I’m going to take it easy for a bit. I should probably have some lunch - the yogurt wasn’t very filling.
Have I mentioned that I hate having The Ick? It’s not exactly like The Sick in that in mostly requires the close proximity of toilet facilities. And that’s as close as I’ll get to TMI. It’s all for you, swampy, sugah!!
I would just like to say that I will never wear white after Labor Day. Ever.
That is all.
I am so updating my resume tonight and going to visit the big job fair tomorrow.
Huh? Roundboy and MtM strike again, or the whole Technical Thingies business model imploding have anything to do with this rash move?
[Clint Eastwood] You talking to me?! [/Clint Eastwood]
OK, maybe I’ll spread my fingers a little more when I read the OP.
Olives, Happy Belated Birthday! My mouth literally dropped open when I clicked that link to your birthday present #1. Wow, that’s beautiful! And since all I got for my birthday was some lemon peel, I wasn’t expecting to see that. That’s a GREAT present!
Mork, I don’t know how you brave that cold weather. I’m not only a wuss about getting squicked out by medical procedures but about cold weather also. The coldest weather I’ve been in is about 20 degrees F (above zero). Your descriptions alone make me cold.
And about that chocolate that you aren’t eating. . . aren’t you supposed to send that to FCM as an offering? You never know, she might experience the goodness that you experienced in your younger days.
Wishing you a quick recovery, Mama Tiger!! Did they give you an “All clear” date for embarking on your new crimefighting career? What? Isn’t that what bionic women do?
I have been grievously misinformed.
Happy Birthday, Olives! I’m enjoying your presence!
Uh, PouchTrunk, that would be Deniro…
Que? Lemon Peel?
I only came into the MMP because you promised kitty pictures in the thread titles. And you delivered splendidly! Emily is very pretty. She looks like my old kitty Scamper, whom I loved dearly.
Me neither. I just like to mess with Swampy.
Ellen and Rebo it’s nice to know some people still follow sensible fashion dictates and avoid warts.
FCM sittin’ on a toilet is not TMI. Describing what comes out when you sit upon the throne, now that’s TMI!
