Clear thinking

Raven, our meteorologist! Liz, our punk! Fisherman our Einstein? Great gang.

Am I the only one that sees the article about supporting the forum for 20$ annually?
Got nothing against this, just want to know if this is what it really means.

[fishinghat]

thinking so

 

That is the way I took it Gail.

[gail]

So be it

Thanks FH. But I will wait for his response before I do anything.

Call me Thomas, my second name, besides Simplicity! Got to hear it from the horse's mouth!
Or read it in the right place. Meaning, in a post!

How is our Punk doing?

PS this forum can not disappear!

[Raven72]

it cannot

 

I completely understand the process behind the yearly supportive donation, but not all of us can afford it.

[gail]

Cannot die

Let's wait for Ken. Then, we will act accordingly. Please, don't leave.

Love to read you Raven! Tell me, has school really started where you live?

What happened? In my time, school started beginning September.

Poor kids, not enough time in between. Enough time for parents, though.

[TryinginFL]

die today

 

 

I agree w/Raven here.  I am on Social Security, live alone and sure don't have any extra money to spare - especially with the cost of everything else going up.

 

I don't get it - is this site  now out to make money?  I have been on  here over 2 1/2 years and others much longer than that.  What's up?

 

End of rant

 

When I got home from the hairdresser, Cubs were on so watched the game and we won!  Have now won 8 out of 10 last games

 

Anyhoo, my bangs are now blonde - didn't quite turn white, but looks cool!

[fishinghat]

today tomorrow

 

School started here this week, You are right Gail. Back in the day...we started in September but ever since all the schools got air conditioning they have moved the schedule up to August. Here they get 2 one week vacations in the fall and a week off in the spring plus they get 3 personal days off during the year. They also get one week for Thanksgiving and 3 for Christmas. Their senior year they only have to attend classes until 1 PM.

[TryinginFL]

tomorrow comes

 

 

School started here on the 15th - yep, I remember starting right after Labor Day

[Raven72]

comes early

I don't plan on leaving unless it is required. If it's optional I can stay.

School started here on the 11th.

Love you guys

[gail]

Early start

Well well, I am from the dinosaur age, I guess.
Here, professors are back this week. The kids will surely follow next week.

Yes, Fisherman, days off here and there. Weeks off here and there also.
Have a real hard time with changes.

Liz, that blond must be lovely.

Raven, Liz, it surely is an optional choice. Of course, no one will be banned if they don't contribute. Just hate that there will be a kind of mention under our user name that says if one contributes or not.

And now, dear Ken, we are waiting for you.

PS Ken, please, no mention on who contributes or not.

[Raven72]

start praying

Toothache all week. Root canal tomorrow 😟

[TryinginFL]

praying again

 

Prayers for you Raven - I need benzos if I have to go to the dentist - the worst place I can think of in all of my life!

[fishinghat]

again pain

I hate dental pain. Poor Raven. As my daddy use to say...."It will feel better when it quits hurting.' Somehow I always wanted to hit him after he said that. lol

[TryinginFL]

pain coming

 

 

Hope Raven gets through this with a minimum of pain...

 

I have had so much work done on my teeth that I have all I can do to muster the guts to have my teeth cleaned once a year

[Carleeta]

coming soon

 

Haven't been gone that long and they are asking for a membership fee.....hmmmmmm interesting.   School in NYS starts in September after Labor Day and the colleges start in late August.

 

Had a root canal last year and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Liz I agree, I have to use benzo when I go to the dentist.

[Raven72]

soon as

 

Well, it ended up being an old root canal that had gotten infected deep down inside.  Had to get a shot in the hip and was given antibiotics to get filled.

 

Looks like sleep study won't happen. Insurance only suggests you have 2 in a lifetime and I had 2 back in 2011 to be diagnosed with sleep apnea. The nice girl at the sleep lab is doing what she can to help in some way.

[gail]

As from

I don't mind the dentist, he talks non stop.

But hospital is another matter! I am the one that talks non stop in my head.

A shot in the hip??

[fishinghat]

from here

That must be a really deep root canal to require a shot in the hip!! lol

[Raven72]

here now

 

LOL! Yes, a shot in the hip.

[gail]

Now, listen!

I am a pain here, but Raven, the hip shot, was that from the dentist?

Fishingstein, any fruits ready to be eaten or canned?

[TryinginFL]

listen here

 

Unfortunately my lawn guy has still not been here - it was 3 weeks yesterday

 

The grass is now taller than the dogs...

[Raven72]

here again?

 

Gail - No, he gave me a prescription to bring to work with me so my doc could do it. It was to kick start getting rid of the infection. He also gave me a script for amoxicillin. Thankfully that one is free at my pharmacy

 

Liz - Well, at least it's easier for the dogs to play hide 'n' seek

[gail]

Again confused

Oh boy, confusion! No need to understand it all, I guess.

Liz, it's Friday, you know what that means, right? Party night for our big Max.

Raven, have you met Max? Handsome, furry, likes cigars and brandy, hot bubble baths, a fan for the Montreal Canadians, keeps away from Fishingstein(afraid of being BBQed), sunglasses day in day out, a lovely creature.

[fishinghat]

confused perplexed

Fishingstein Here. Not yet but the pears will be ready in 2 or 3 weeks and the chestnuts and jujubes ready in about 5 weeks. Getting close.

[TryinginFL]

perplexed always

 

 

Oh, Max is always happy on Fridays!  He says 'hello' to everyone - sometimes he seems lonesome

 

Oh, my dear capybara

[fishinghat]

always hungry

 

Heelllooo Max!!!

[Raven72]

hungry hippos

No, I haven't met Max. I feel like I am missing something.😋

[fishinghat]

Hippos Yawn

Hippo's Yawn is a rock near Wave Rock in Western Australia. (Wiki)

 

I know I am missing something Raven but with what I am thinking I will probably get in trouble with Gail and Liz. lol

[gail]

Yawn lawn

Raven, Max is our fictional capybara. Well, he belongs to Liz. And he comes to visit me when I am in good shape. My private jet or helicopter lands on the lawn at Liz's to get him here.
He has got his Friday routine, bubble bath, bath robe and brandy plus a cigar.

Fishingstein would like him on a BBQ. We quarrel often about this and he gets us so mad because our sweet Max is like a baby for us. So this is Max!

[Raven72]

Aww.. just googled capybara. So, cute and quite large.

Can he stay with me?
