Out With the Old, In With the New, Happy New Year! MMP

Wet one, don’t know if you meant this post for the MMP, but yeah, it’s been around for a couple of years now, how much it is actually used by the white-supremist jerks I do not know, but the MMP is not for politics so I’ll drop the discussion now.

Sunny, {{{ }}}. Hope the medical news only gets brighter for you.

kaiwick, congratulations on daughter’s news! Stick around the MMP and let us know how it goes, FCM can offer advice on the grandmother front…

Czarcasm, welcome to the world of retirement…what took you so long?? :p;):smiley: Now of course you have more time for the MMP.

harmonicamoon, happy you’re still with us. Stick around awhile, y’all here?

nellie, sounds like you went through the ‘worst of times’ and came out the other side still grinning at life. Good on ya!

Guy from the flooring place was in, did his measurements and I should have a price by Friday. Still trying to reach some place to donate my furniture, at the worst there is a “We Chunk Junk” place nearby but they cost some bucks, so I’ll try to give what I can.

Tomorrow is new tire day, hope I remember to wake up in time…

All y’all take care.

We plan on our usual NYE debauchery of TV and asleep by 10. But NYD means seafood paella for dinner! Woot!

Well, the OK symbol has always meant different things in different contexts. It has a very different and vulgar meaning in some countries. The gesture is also used in Hinduism and yoga. And positioned at a horizontal, it has a different meaning in American Sign Language… Also, some silly kids started using it in the moronic Circle Game. Then some 4-Chan idiots decided it would be an hysterically funny hoax to say it was a white power symbol, and some white supremacists took them seriously and started using it that way. (Though I must point out, the white power symbol is the OK symbol upside-down.) Ha-ha, see how clever? :rolleyes:

This, too, shall pass. But those who are angry about it might consider directing their wrath at the white supremacists, not those who noticed what was going on.

No, you should be mad at the dumb fucks who dance when 4chan pulls the strings.

4chan likes to troll, and not only do they like to troll, they put it right out there on 4chan for everybody to see. They tell you what they are going to do BEFORE they do it. And yet, you have assholes who allowed themselves to be played over and over and over again.

4chan are not the idiots, nor are they the morons, they know exactly what they are doing, and they do it so well.
I’m just shocked that they continue to get away with it.
You’d think by now people would have it figured out.

Eight years of listening to the right bullshit about obama did nothing to prepare me for the left going off the rails.
Five more fucking years of this shit and then maybe sanity will reign again.

Thank you **Sunny daze, Nelliebly and SSR **for your thoughts. They have warmed me. Always considered SDMB kinda clicky, and always felt being on the outside looking in.

Wasn’t going to list the details, but since you have asked. I had sepsis. Sepsis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic. Spent three weeks in a hospital in Cancun. They discharged me when my credit cards were maxed out. Received no physical therapy. and when I was released I had to learn how to walk again. Fell down many times.

In February, I was in the USA and was diagnosed with osteomielitis in my thumb. The lab messed up the culture and the bacteria wasn’t identified The surgeon said I would need five weeks on antibiotic IV’s. Twice a day and two hours each visit. I told him just to amputate the thumb. He said the thumb is fifty percent of the usage of your hand. My loving friends insisted I stay with them for the treatment. Imagine someone living in your house for five weeks! My blood relatives would not have agreed to that.

So, I did. Got through the treatment and the infectious disease doctor released me.

I am back home in my country and all healed. Thumb is a little numb, but no infection.

And very happy to start the new year.

Thanks again for your warm greetings.

May you both feel better by the new year Mooooooom and butters.

Congrats on the new grandbaby and the new puppy wiki! They should both keep you running.

2019 hasn’t been the worst year evah, but it also hasn’t been the best. My new car got hit by a hit and run dump truck, and even though it’s contrary to state law, my auto insurance company dropped me as of 23 Jan 2020 (don’t worry, I got a new one, albeit at about $50 a month more). I’m submitting a claim with the BBB about the old insurance company (TN doesn’t allow an auto insurance company to drop you or raise your rates for an uninsured motorist claim).

My health has been better than it has been for a few years and I have a good dog (on my lap as I type :slight_smile: ) and a little money in the bank, so 2020 is looking up.

Well, the year was mostly good, but got a little shitty at the end. But I still got my hockey friends and the MMP, so I got it better than a lot of folks.

Congrats!

Wiki!
: tacklehug :
Congrats on the Pom and the grandkid! And Mump when you feel up to it, we’re here for you.

BURN THE HERETIC!

Glad you made it alive, and with a thumb. And welcome to the MMP. Although it can’t be too clique-ish, they let me in here.:wink:

And feel better all you [del]sickos[/del]sick people.

Howdy Y’all! Been a good day here at da cave. We got the place spiffed and then pretty much lazed about the rest of the day except to make and eat sup. I think this two old farts retired and livin’ in the same house thing is gonna work. :smiley:

Moonpie, it’s a workin’ nickname, we will refine it over time. Or not. Mumpers are kinda willy-nilly like that. Glad you overcame it all and are still with us! Since you have posted, you are now a Mumper. That’s all it takes, one post and you are ONE. OF. US!!!

MOOOOOM and Butters feel better soonest!

Czar, what could be a better nickname than that, congrats on the retirement. The only advice I have to give is don’t kick yourself for not havin’ done so sooner. Seriously, I wake up everyday with a grin cause I’m retired!

Nellie we’re glad you found us too.

Nuts the world is, well, nuts.

Sunny great news about your daughter! Here’s hopin’ that findin’ out what is goin’ on helps you with your medical issues.

Kai ::tacklehug:: yay on bein’ a grandma and the new pupper. Also come back anytime you want. You’re always welcome up in here, but you already know that, right?

MetalMouse I just finished with a whole house remodel, so, better thee than me. :stuck_out_tongue: However, I am happy with the way it all turned out, and I’m sure you will be as well.

Now to go forth into other parts of teh intartoobz!

I am home. Adventuresome day. I’m kinda on drugs at the moment. I prolley should go to sleep before I say something stoopid. :slight_smile:

Just slurped down a shot of nyquil. I should be unconscious in a matter of minutes. Better living thru chemistry!!

Off irk til Thorsday. Tomorrow is an appointment for my bronchitis which I think is gone. Still not smoking. Then meeting friends at 2pm for a late lunch or early drinks and nibbles., I shall be home before dark and asleep by 10.

Well, 2019 kinda sucked, but nothing unusual about that. Any day above ground and all that. I’m in Central Orygun with Daughter, SIL, and grandson, who has the flu :eek:.

Wifey had to drive back to the valley to show houses and now is writing an offer. She’s gonna spend the night at the ‘big house’ and come back tomorrow.

We’ll be making sour cream chicken enchiladas for NYE dinner tomorrow. Don’t know if we’ll stay up late.

I remember when Nixon flashed the ‘OK’ sign getting off the plane in, IIRC, Rio, which means something else entirely in Brazil. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll see ya’ll tomorrow evening sometime.

FCM, hope you are awake in time to celebrate tonight!

Happy Toosday!

It’s a foggy 36 degrees outside, supposed to get up to 48.

Happy news on new grandbaby and new puppy Wiki. You should stick around, we all miss you.

I need to finish laundry today, and order and pick up groceries. I didn’t get them ordered yesterday, mostly because I have no idea what to buy.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN I was a slug abed until six thirty! :eek: ‘Tis 42 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 64 and N.O.S. for the day. Today shall include some prep work for tomorrow’s big NYD feast which shall consist of beastloaf (requested), blackeyed peas, collard greens, rice, mac &cheese, cornbread and pound cake with macerated (this word sounds kinda dirty) strawberries and fresh whipped cream. Laundry shall also be accomplished. Sup shall be majik intartoobz pizza cause of a gnawin’ and a cravin’.

MOOOOOOM and Beck hope y’all are feelin’ better today.

Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day. Rah.

I can’t remember the last time I was awake past 10PM on NYE. It’s not a big deal on our social agenda, such as it is.

I’m still not back to what passes for normal for me, but I do feel a little better. I’m sure major sluggage has a lot to do with that. More sluggage shall ensue today. And I’ll need to find something else to stream - I finished rewatching Hinterland and I decided I didn’t want to watch *Broadchurch *again. So, something new, I think. And maybe a load of laundry.

Happy Cupcakes Day!

And Happy Tuesday!

Ouch, ouch, ouch-y! My left side feels like a hot poker is stuck in there. My pee is a normal color, and that’s good. I didn’t sleep well even with pain meds on board.
Enough about me.
Mom-feel better!

Czar-ease into your retirement, don’t make firm plans. Just breathe freely for a few days.
I read somewhere there is a grieving period even for retiring. Then go out and love life!!

Happy Birthday Cupcakes.

I hope you all have a pleasant New Years eve. Safe to say I won’t be dancing and celebrating too much.
Come on 2020, I need a fresh year and a new decade to screw up.

Gotta eat. I’ve waited a respectable amount of time for someone to serve me breakfast in bed. (:)) Not happening.
Get your black eyed peas and cabbage ready to cook up!

I’ve showered and dressed, and I tossed a load into the washer. Still coughing, but my throat doesn’t hurt near as much. I guess that’s a good sign.

I’m thinking a mug of tea might be soothing.

Yes, black-eyed peas. My wife was a southern gal. Always had them for new years. Can’t find them here. Another year without. Have some for me, please.
