Have fun!!! I could probably help with that! I need a change of scenery!

Nice to be out if only in the back yard. And I mean back yard, set up in the grass and fishing the neighbor's grass.

Lots of trees floating by today, near whole trees. I wonder where that stuff ends up?  Does it make it all the way to the gulf?

I went through a month - mid October to mid November and then all of a sudden everything was fine. I guess I've had 2 1/2 months pain free. We'll see how long this flare up is.

I think what I'll do is have my Advil, Aleve, Tylenol and Tizanidine by my bed and take them at 4:00am and see how I feel at 6:00am when I need to get up. Maybe throw a heating pad in.


A while back I heard that moving is the best thing for it so, as soon as I can do it without screaming, I try to at least walk as much as I can.  I think it does help.

"..."There are two things to understand about r-ape, pregnancy, and abortion bans. The first is that pregnancies resulting from r-ape are not in fact rare, as this new data demonstrates. The second is that the misogynist mentality that begets r-ape — the idea that a woman does not have autonomy over her own body, that some else gets to use her body for their own purposes —"

Heard this while I was fishing.  I recommend it to anyone who actually cares about the issue.

I'm WFH - my lower left back is screaming. They gave me some kind of muscle relaxer (tizanidine) I didn't take in October when this hit before. This is over the top bad - so I took one - it makes me walk like Frankenstein. Loaded up on Advil, Aleve and Tylenol and Gabapentin.

Waiting for a call from the Dr's office.

Be careful mixing alkl those pain pills.

Lets see if we can make Faith a little happier, he will not have to read this thread.





That will go up in the spring. By summer 4-5 dollars in Northeast. Price always comes down in winter for years, then back up  in spring and summer months. Nothing new here.

"..I hope everyone realizes that the Republican political strategy to win in 2024 is the border.

Border border border.

Impeaching Mayorkas is part of the strategy.

I saw two eagles yesterday.

It just tickles me, there were none anywhere near here when I was young and now there is a nesting pair a mile or so down the road.

"..BARRY KAHN

I don't have time or energy to expand this, but it's hard to believe that the GOP platform (if they ever bother to write one again) would include goals like:

Deny children food

Permit & encourage young children to work in hazardous jobs

Deny women health care

etc.

But even more appalling to think millions of voters approve of these goals.

I've read some dystopian sci fi in my life, but current reality leaves it in the dust.."

Be careful mixing alkl those pain pills.

I did it this morning and not since. When I had oral surgery they told me to do exactly that every 6 hours - I only did it every 12 hours. Advil and Tylenol are fine together (although I don't take Tylenol more than several times a year - bad for your liver). Advil and Aleve are both NSAIDs - not something I do together often but with my pain level at a point that I was even being mean to my cat - I told him to shut up. He was meowing for me to turn on the sink - he only drinks running water - he even has a fountain downstairs. I was a hot mess.

Ended up being a good day. Got a lot of work done sitting in my comfy chair that looks like crap - needs to be reupholstered - but I cover it with a quilt. One of my favorite things in life.

OMG - Monty Python! I love this chair because there is not a lot of upholstery. No big cushy arms to get dirty. Someday I will have it redone in a fun fabric. It's a good 35 years old. We bought some beautiful stuff way back when. Debating whether to go out to pick up some groceries.

As I have aged, I notice that apparently I hurt myself and don't notice untila day or so after. Last time I was down in my back was like that, I have zero idea what I did but the pain started in the vening then got worse for a couple days.

Getting old is not for the weak of heart. Pizzes me off.
