Good morning!!!!

[Larro Darro]

Guys, my boss took a long lunch, then came back to work the rest of the afternoon. She said she felt better by the time I got there. She has high blood pressure and low sugar. She has just started back going to the doctor after two or three years of ignoring her problems. They still don't have her meds worked out just right, and her BP is higher than it should be. But I got her a blood pressure monitor for work, and she is checking it more. That is a start. Now if I could get her to stop smoking..... She has been my boss for 13 years and I just about have her trained. I don't want to think about having all that work wasted.

Edit: Bakerg, I was tempted to delete my post above and see if it would make me post #15000, but I figured you won that lottery fair and square.

It’s a cool 36 degrees this morning and heading up to the low 60’s today.
Lots of wedding stuff going on this week and we are hoping for a nice day on Sunday!

Larro--just my opinion but she needs to see a doc and actually express her symptoms. A friend of mine that's a heart doc says lots of people come to him--and then either lie about their symptoms or lie about the severity of them. Denial is a powerful and delusional tool. Plus she is beyond the take the blood pressure thinking--she needs capable medical and philosophical intervention.

The cigarette needs to be ripped from her lips, her plate flipped on the floor and the salt shaker thrown as far as the eye can see. This has all the building blocks of an unhappy ending. There must be something she wants to long-term be around for, if only to out live her enemies.

Now, if she wont listen she won't listen but if she's worth trying to save she's worth trying to save. Find someone there that knows what to say and introduce them or give her my phone number and I'll shake her silly. Dying young is not all it's cracked up to be. I'll add that time is money here so she needs to wake up yesterday.

Again, just my two cents.


EDIT--Heading to near 80 again today for parts of Ohio so still able to get outside work done. Grass finally looks great again.

Tell her if she doesn't check herself out soon "you're a long time looking at the inside of the lid on the box"

32 right now (Brrrrr!) and a high of 64 predicted.
Guess I'll mow the back yard (fenced in area) since 2/3rds of the leaves are down...

 

[daugen]

32 Roy? Now you see what you get when you move up to the North Pole...

cloudy day in store here, then rain. Things got a chance to dry out here, which was fine.
wife is still in the hospital, should be home soon. Meanwhile I put her car out in the driveway and work on the machinery in the empty garage spot. Putting stuff away in storage, need to clean it up, change the oil, etc, before I put it away.
Now that my neck is better, i can do this stuff again and it sure feels good. Slowly...

Drinking second cup of coffee. 39° with clear skies and spot of fog this morning. Heading to 69° with lots of sun. MS did a 21 item update on my 2 computers this morning. Drank way to much coffee while I was kept off line. :thumbdown: Good thing is all seems to be working OK. Still working on getting things ready for the winter.
Good Morning All.

Had our first frost of the season here this morning! Finally.

The ticks have been back the past week with the mild, warm weather we're having.

Going to be a nice day with clear skies and low 60's for a high.

Great looking morning here, I think I am going to go get a new ladder. I have been using a old wooden extension ladder that is probably older than me. It was given to me by my wife's grandfather. But it is gettin pretty shakey, and I don't trust it anymore. So off to Homer to see what they have. I need to paint the trim on the barn, and I need to feel safe.

Great looking morning here, I think I am going to go get a new ladder.

Be careful, some of the ladders have a low load limit of 200#. (it was yellow - the orange ones are heavier). I also bought a hammock that had a 150# limit - How many adult males weigh less than 150#? I guess the people in China are smaller.



60's to the 80's, bright sunny day. I'm walking - in the A.M without crutches. Now when I'm out with my dog we are called Whipper and Limper.

Morning all, woke up to 46 degrees heading to 69.

Good Morning. 1030, overcast, 65* with 85% humidity. Forecast high of 81* with no chance of rain. Fall got to NW Florida today. There is a 9 mph NE wind, and I have turned off the AC and opened all the windows on the north side of the house. {my cousin is pressure washing the back side} It sure is nice.

Guys, my boss is seeing a doctor now, it's just taking a while to get her high BP meds adjusted right. And she eats good, and weighs about 110. The low blood sugar makes her snack all through the day, but she goes with cheese crackers or peanut butter for her snacks. Her son is interning right now in the medical profession and will be staying at home while he does his internship. He is a ultra health nut, so she knows what she should do. And she is doing the vapor thing, trying to smoke less. I'm not sure if that is any safer or not.

just looked at the weather radar, and we have a nice little coastal storm brewing its way up the Eastern seaboard, heading our way tonight and continuing to dump rain through the next day.
well, lunch break is over, back to the trailer. Brought the little rototiller home to clean up and get ready for winter, but will run it in our compost area at the rear of our property first. It just keeps turning and sinking in there, that earth is getting
just marvelous. Though I do hate to grind up all those nice worms...seems to be plenty of them, and well, they came from the dirt and they are returning to the dirt. All making the compost like black gold, about in its tenth year now. We use this dirt to supplement what comes in store bought hanging plants, the soil or whatever it is in there doesn't hold water at all.

I have a severe case of sciatica, leg and back spasms, the single worst pains I've ever had when they spasm in my leg!
Enough whining, nice cool rainy windy day on Delmarva! Beautiful day to be above ground! Have a good one folks.

52 F here this morning with a nice light breeze.

My new neighbor called me last night (Tue) about 5 PM. He was a mess, could hardly talk. He had just made an appointment at the vet to have his beloved boxer pup put down. He's had that dog since a puppy and realizes he has to do the humane thing. The dog cannot lift its hindquarters due to degenerative spine disease. He was calling to ask me if I could come over with my backhoe and dig a grave. I told him I'd be happy to do it, but I was having a surgery to put in a port this morning (Wed). Tomorrow, I get my first chemo treatment and Friday, the day after chemo, I might feel a bit too weak. I suggested that he and his wife decide on an ideal spot and I'd come do the gravesite ahead of time.

So, at 6 PM last night, I went over with my backhoe and dug him a nice 4' x 6' x 5' deep grave near a big oak tree in the shade where they can put a gravestone in view from their new deck.

It's obvious he loves that dog dearly, and this is terribly hard for him to do. I was glad I could help. Pets give us so much that anything I can do to help the dog pass peacefully is what I want to do.
