Beck is unwell some more: first post 2022-05-06, last update 2022-05-10 (up and around)

I am old enough to remember that. Also autumn fizz.

I remember the Certs commercial that it was a take-off of.

Thank you, yes, I’d forgotten about that origin of the whole meme!

The original Certs commercial:

Are We Not Blonde???

Meanie head!!

You didn’t address the quewwestion.

I’m a Granny Hawkins. What color hair do you think I have?

We are Devo

And that Certs commercial (Two! Two! Two mints in one!) was probably a knockoff of the Ultimate Twin Commercial!

Doublemint gum!
(Get Double Everything rolled into one!)

Extra credit if you can sing the Speedy Alka-Seltzer commercial jingle!)

~VOW

Is that the…

Plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is

Song

I can’t sing it, because I’m too busy saying, “I can’t believe I ate that whole thing…” (“You ate it, Ralph!”)

That poor newlywed husband! His wife got a very strange cookbook as a wedding gift, and she was eager to fix everything!

All I can remember was the Marshmallow Meatballs!

Speedy Alka-seltzer song:

“Down-down-down
The stomach to!
Round-round-round
The system through!
With Alka-Seltzer
You’re sure to say
Relief is just a swallow away!”

~VOW

Awwww, thanks for the reminder.

Poached oysters!

“Where’s the beef?”

“Is next…eveningvear! Verrry nice.”

Beck, glad to hear your back home and doing better.

Getting older isn’t easy. The doctor added a couple more prescriptions for me to take. I miss the distant days of one pill and I’m good to go.

I’m not complaining. The alternative is worse and a lot more permanent. :wink:

Are you back taking walks on your property? I remember your posts about the creatures you encountered.

I’m looking into getting better trails landscaped. Make them more level and remove trip hazards. I’m becoming more aware of my own (and my family’s) vulnerability. I need to pick out a few scenic locations for benches. I can make them myself from red cedar.

I’m looking forward to the return of BigToe, who was obviously hibernating.

I’m walking. I have my ever present Bayliss. He sees to me and steers me right.
Of course all the other dogs are there too.

My daughters keep their eyes on me as well.

I see lots of wildlife. We’re really watching for snakes coming out of their winter sleep, at the moment. I’ve been told they’re extra bitey this time of year.

I carry a firearm.

We have a healthy supply of song birds this spring. And Crows. I love crows.

As for BigToe I’m watching for signs.

I’m playing ketchup here, something I never do to a corndog, but this absolutely made my day. Thanks for an excellent laugh, Becks. I’m sorry you had to get bit for it.

Please keep exercising those legs. Hugs to you, girl.
