Glad your getting some spunk back BEF.
Just seems nuts to me to have to do that to adjust the valves.
Thanks for sharing and elaborating.Yes, I was in a lot of pain. But this was almost 20 years ago and my HMO didn't hand out tickets to MRI's easily. The going costs were in the thousands for the hospital.
Frankly I'm surprised at how low the cost you quoted for an MRI is now.
AND yes the pain was great.
/edit
And it's hard to quantify pain - This pain was similar to a freshly broken ankle, a broken wrist, both of which I'd had before. But far more than a broken finger or the pain of putting a fishhook thru a thumb.
I was thinking $10/hour, that is what MacDonald's pays here. Also, you would be housing and feeding him. Let me warn you about young men and their appetites'. If he proves to be a good worker, boost him up. I would be considering what he would be saving for. If for college? Or for girls and car stereos? It will be his money, but if for college, then if it were me, I'd have incentive to reward that.I have a 17 year old nephew who finishes school in early June. He wants to get a job and make some $$, like most kids his age. He's a city boy, never around rural property. I'm thinking of offering to "hire him" to visit and do some work on our property. Work with me doing cleanup, burning piles, etc. Give us some time together plus he can learn about rural property, tractors, equipment, etc. Maybe make a little lumber on the sawmill.
What is a good pay rate, per day or per week, for a 17 year old? If I make an offer to him, I'd like to be a bit on the generous side. But I have no idea what $$$ that might be?
My wife says you certainly don't need 3 of those to keep you warm, that 1 will do.I guess I’ll head over to the shop now, Zoe is all cleaned up, she ran laps back and forth to the barn while i was loading the feed, and got covered in mud.
Last night she was happy to watch tv with us.
Sorry for your pup. Still sad, even having gone through it. We know you love him.This my fourth dog, so I know the drill. My almost 13 year old dog is having real trouble pooping. He squats but hardly anything comes out. Only squirts and maybe a large marble size turd comes out and they are a bit bloody. He drinks plenty of water and pees fine. Took him to the vet and the Dx is tumors. Not unexepected, but bad news anyway. Left with some Prednisone and Tramadol, and some canned soft food. He takes the meds okay and does eat a bit. How much time? Not sure, but I'll make him as happy as I can for the time he/we have left .
I have resisted the cruise ship trips so far. On one hand it should be relaxing. On the other hand who could relax on that ship in the middle of nowhere?It was a foggy morning this morning as we pulled into Galveston port, last pic is the pilot boat dropping off the port pilot below our cabin, we were on the 10th floor.
Does he tell you what kind of marinade? I used mainly Galalee Green olive oil and some kikkoman's soy sause. I let the meat come up to room temp befor going in the broiler.Two_bit my BIL uses a marinate overnight before cooking tri tip.
Glad to hear that Klye!My son is healing exponentially fast. He went to school today with a very light back pack. Tonight, he was active and even playing a little ping pong (I was keeping an eye on him). Coach told him no heating pads. I would say his arm movement is now 75-80% I am still cautious about it because of the reasons Newbury explained so well. His pain is receding and he is not taking any ibuprofen. At this rate, it seems he might be good to go at the end of the week. So thank you again for all the prayers.
Glad to hear that, for both of them!Son called finally and he is safe in hospital. Wife had a hard time coping but hopefully she will be relaxing now.
Im really interested in how you like that. I might want to change over.My family switched to photon email service, with end to end encryption. Trying to get away from google snooping on everything.
That is really great! Congratulations!"He is an outstanding Algebra student. He works hard and is always courteous and respectful. He is a great example of the BEST at our school! I feel lucky to be his math teacher and I can't wait to see what great things he will accomplish in his future."
And he got a coupon for a free ice cream at Dairy Queen. (now, if only we could get him to act that well at home) Maybe I need to offer him some ice cream. LOL.
My sympayhies. Sometimes it's allyou can do. Hope it's relatively pain free for him.How much time? Not sure, but I'll make him as happy as I can for the time he/we have left .
