I’m sure that Reader’s Digest had an “I Am Joe’s Gallbladder” article.
:rolleyes:
Howdy y’all. I had a very long day at irk but was productive and kept busy. I had to attend a counter intelligence training this morning. Pretty interesting stuff.
My new hire is working out very well and the teen clerk I got was my number one pick and she is going to be helpful. Finally I have sufficient help. Feast or famine.
I joined Weight Watchers and am determined to lose 40 lbs and keep it off forever. Salad is my best friend. I need to remember to take some sneaks to the office so I can hop onto the treadmill every day. Luckily there is a small gym right in my facility. No excuses.
I have a manager’s meeting to attend in the morning and I had a dentist appt scheduled at the same time. Meeting won out and dentist is rescheduled for next Monday afternoon.
Come on down Mmooommm. Winter weather is gorgeous.
Winter weather is cold. Damn cold.
Not in the Keys.
Worked, came home, took a siesta to avoid the heat.
Sounds like one of your co-workers tried to stab you in the back ,and missed. Hope it’s nothing, though.
And Flytrap, all my organs are fine.
Sari, feel free to vent. the HFH dogs shouldn’t attack Sah-Dog, or steal your food.
Feel better, VBob!
Butters, i like the way you think.
Great find, Sticky.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, purtified, and caffienated so no yawns this mornin’. 'Tis 72 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 94 for the day. Rah.
OYKW is purtifyin’ and when he’s ready, we’re goin’ to The Cookie Shoppe for brekkie. No we are not eatin’ cookies for brekkie. The place serves a really good breakfast and N.O.L. as well as really good cookies. Part of the reason for goin’ there is because he wants to get some cookies to take to irk. He does that from time to time. Of course, since we’re there and all, I shall be compelled to also buy cookies to take to irk. Their oatmeal/raisin and chawklit chip cookies are the best!
gotti if you get that same pain again, I say go get it checked out.
Ok, that’s all I got. I hear the sounds of OYKW gettin’ dressed in the bedroom. Brekkie at the Cookie Shoppe. YUM!
Happy Thursday Y’all!
**Butters **- we’ve got the plan all worked out. We’ll drive to either Ocala and leave Higgs with FCD’s folks or to Orlando and leave her with our daughter. Then the next day, we’d drive to the Keys. All we need to figure out is when. But I’ll let you know so you can have dinner ready when we arrive. 
**gotti **- when my gall bladder attacked, I was sure I was having a heart attack, even tho the pain was on the right side. It felt like it was radiating forward and back beneath the right breast, and I apparently got kinda pale. I think it was exceptionally strong, tho, because I’d had a rather greasy breakfast sammich, and since the bile from the gall bladder couldn’t get out past the stones to dissolve the grease… Anyway, if you suspect issues, you really should get it checked out. My spousal unit ignored his till it became infected, and then he had to have an ER visit with surgery very shortly thereafter. You do not wanna go thru that.
I had a great night - I slept with my buddy Mel - that’s melatonin to you! 
I swear, that stuff knocks me out - I think I got a solid 7 hours, so huzzah!! I need to remember to pack some for the cruise, just in case.
Got a call yesterday that the shirts I ordered have come in at Penney’s, so I’ll have to take a ride into Hollywood today. The jeans I ordered are also enroute - they could get here as early as tomorrow, tho the shipping tracker says Monday. We shall see.
I also need to run to Food Lion today - since we ate the last of the sketty sauce last night, I need to make a new batch. I’m good on the canned tomato sauce and meat and onions, but I need fresh mushrooms - none of that canned stuff for my sauce! Plus we need some other groceries, including puppeh treats.
Happy Thursday!
******** BBBOBBIO UPDATE ********
I just got off the phone with **BBBobbio **- he’s still in the hospital, he’s alive, and he said it was really *really *bad. They’re keeping him another day or two to make sure all is OK and I’m going to let him tell the whole story when he gets back. But from what he shared with me, we’re lucky to still have him with us. :eek:
Good healing vibes headed his way…
Send good thoughts and good drugs mentally to VBob!!!
It was 80 at 0700 this am. Gonna be another scorcher.
Dayum… good healing, VBob.
Healing thoughts and prayers sent to Bbbobbio.
My first week back from vacay and I have to admit I don’t mind being at irk. Perhaps I still have jet lag or a vacay high. We saw the Queen (of England) drive by in her carriage on her way to opening Parliament, and we saw Jimmy Page on his lawn getting the mail. I have a pic of the Queen, but not Jimmy. He was very polite, and returned our frantic waves and said “good evening.” We are officially the coolest people in the world for having seen EII and JP.
I’ve seen the Queen up close a couple of times before but never Jimmy Page except up on stage.
I want that kind of vacation!!! I’d have peedin my pants!
also sending healing vibes to VBob
Verily, you have bought the stairway to Heaven.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s going to be hot again today but we had a really big storm last night and it cooled down into the 60s. I’ll have to close my window soon though.
Poor BBBobbio
I’m glad he’s still with us.
Thank y’all for the ideas, tasty and otherwise for the HFH.
I’m just going to get on the realtor and beg get me outta here
I don’t want to rent before I buy but I may have to just bite the bullet and do it.
I know she is my mother but my attitude towards her right now isn’t so good either.
So nothing on the agenda today except irk and maybe dinner with OAOASO. I don’t know, he said something about it
I guess I’ll call the doctor about my next round of torture,I was supposed to hear back from him and I haven’t. Maybe he is waiting for the test results.
I have a bit of a horror story as well.
My friend (not the one I usually talk about, the other one) and her husbands family had been trying to get in touch with her FIL. Finally they got a neighbor to check on him and the neighbor found him lying. He had fallen, hit his head and laid there for several days. Between the injury, not taking his meds and dehydration he was close to death and he is still in bad shape in the hospital. He refused to get a form of ‘life alert’ because he thought $30/month was too much. If you live alone you should have some form of life alert, if your parent lives alone and thinks it’s too much then you should spring for the $30.
It’s scary to think of somebody laying there dying because nobody is near by to check on them. Years ago another friend found his aunt dead on the floor after a fall, had somebody gotten there sooner she would have lived.
{{{VBob}}}
Going out to lunch with Sock Lady today. It’s getting to be that I only seem to see her every 6 months or so. It’s actually been longer than that, I think. She and Mr. Socks met RT but that’s been quite awhile ago.
Otherwise, lots of errands to run on a gloomy, rainy day.
{{{BBBobbio}}} very gently. Prayers and good thoughts headed out! :eek:
Sari glad your friend’s FIL got some help and :eek: to that as well.
wetone yea verily y’all art the coolest of the cool!
In other news. Cookie Shoppe brekkie and cookies good! Stoopid people even stoopider than I thought. New assistant verklempt at dumbassery she was told would happen.
Though watch it if they’re like my (now deceased) Grandpa- unless you want to get the alarm pressed at 3 am because he couldn’t find his other pair of pants :rolleyes:
Healing thoughts to Bbobbio!
I should away down the shops, before I run out of time- I have irk late and a bad case of tge don’t wannas.
10:00 and it’s already 80. Gonna push 100 degrees(Fahrenheit, not Celcius:eek:) today.
Feel better, BBBobbio!
Sari, glad friend’s FiL is gonna be OK.
peedin, cool! Although I’d be more impressed by Mr. Page than the Queen.
Count me in too!
