Quick box catch-up...

My condolences to both of you, Plus1 and Baglady.

Observation of the day... Don't massively sprain your ankle while carrying a chainsaw.





Now that you've got the worst possible mind picture.......




No, there was no blood. I had control of the saw and got it shut off and on the ground before I fell to the ground separately. Likely heading to the hospital in the morning... crutches are going to make travelling difficult. :(

Good night, box.

Hope that gets resolved quickly - do you have an Urgent Care or such nearby? The one in my city can handle things like shoulder dislocations and x-rays (as I can attest).

My grandmother died at 99. I would be so lucky to live as long as her.
She lived to see 4 great grandchildren! Amazingly enough, she has a grandchild younger than her youngest gg (that'd be BL JR)

She was 91 and had a great life. She has declined the past few months, but not enough to stop her from telling me great things like "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was I thinking when I voted for x or y"; "Danactive works and you should drink it every day"; or telling me tales from her earlier days as a real estate agent to the stars. She only wore Ferragamos, hated cillantro and she died knowing the love of an amazing man for many years; even though they were never married. I told my sil and niece that she was a great role model for us ladies.

Plus1 and I may not live as long as she; but she solidified that you have to live each day to the fullest.

Don't be afraid to use the cart or wheelchair assistance; you may need to! Are you at home? Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery!

I figured it out; but the other conjecture was so much more fun!

My condolences to you, and thanks for sharing some touching details. It's amazing how much we can learn if we only ask and listen to our old folks. I try to find out something new everytime I chat with the only grandma I have left, because I know our time together is precious.

The Billecart will stand up longer than the Cristal which seems to get more and more acidic as you get to the second and third bottles. :D

I vote for the Billecourt Salmon.
Good vote! I shall get us a bottle before our next meet up!

It is hard to walk around abandoned campgrounds with a hockey mask on. Those roots really come up and trip you... :D

Seriously, feel better.

I want to write up some things on her. There are so many great stories and I don't want us to lose it for our next generation. Let me say her life would make one juicy book!!!

We did watch the end of the third with the tying goal and all of the OT on RichMSN's iPhone Slingbox app. It was exciting even tho there was not a whole lot you could really figure out watching hockey on a 3" screen.

But we could hear Emrick and know what was happening as it was happening since when the battery on his phone was about to go, he moved the broadcast right over to his +1's phone and never missed a beat.

He's got his name on the board, and it's something traditional Asian - he hasn't got an English first name he goes by like a lot of folks I'd known from China. So, I'm thinking to myself that he's going to have a horrible accent.

Bell rings. First words out of his mouth?

"Howdy, ya'll". :-:

Turned out he grew up in Atlanta.
Ya know, because I'm a 'MIA" ('made in America) -- I have, on occasion, found myself 'guilty' of the same kind of thing!;):D

Sampling it together will be much better ;) :-::cool:
