BonTexasNY Posted December 19, 2021 #41151 Share Posted December 19, 2021 B-r-r-r-r from chilly, gloomy, no sun shining Dallas area. Temp now is 35 going up to 50. Friday will be high of 80. Yes 80. Such is our weather. As a wise woman once said and keeps saying, "it is what it is". 😉 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sweetest thing, especially the BIG grin on his face when his dad asks what he's doing, adorable 💕 Those are cute times when they start discovering things like there feet. I wonder at first if they understand it’s their toe before they stick it in their mouth. They grow up so quickly. Enjoy the moments will we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last saw it in pre-op, where they said my things would be safe. Finally gave up, and left with no cane When we got home and settled, Dick needed to walk, since he missed three mile walk all week. I carefully got undressed and put a nightgown on. That’s when I realized I had a capped off needle on the inside if my elbow. I had seen many an iv needle pulled out, so was ready with a cotton ball and tape when I carefully pulled off the tape and pulled out the needle. Holy Niagara Falls! Blood poured out like I’d struck oil. I grabbed a bunch of Kleenex and pressed it against my arm, and they were immediately soaked through. The bed, carpet, nightgown and the left side of my body were soaked. Grabbed more Kleenex, pressed it against the inside of my elbow and scuttled to the linen closet. We had bought gauze pads because of last month’s surgery. I grabbed several pads, applied pressure and the bleeding turned off like a faucet. Evidently the capped needle as there so the middle of the night vampires could draw blood without turning on the light. The blood would have backed up waiting to be released, and I released it. Dick came home and about fainted. Not because of the blood, but because he thought something went horribly wrong. He threw everything in to soak while I tried to clean the blood off me. No shower because of the new pacemaker. Luckily, we’re ok with blood, at least so far! He got down on the floor and cleaned the carpet and the bathroom floor, remade the bed, and then we watched Jeopardy! Quite the homecoming, and still no cane! I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s dinner! Wow Mimi, you’ve had quite a time of it the last couple of months. Hoping you (and the rest of us) have a better 2022! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest glitch for me is a blank white screen if I try to go forward or backward a page in a thread. Thank goodness @bobmacliberty taught me how to clear cookies for this site only. Started looking at another road trip to FL at the end of Jan into Feb to escape the cold. Youngest granddaughter turns one on Jan 20th so we can’t leave before that. Those of you who live in FL, how warm is it generally in February where you are? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 19, 2021 #41157 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Early Christmas celebration was a huge success at our house last night. Although the grandkids had been here when their presents were under our tree, their mom said all they could talk about this week was coming here and opening presents. There is nothing like the pure joy and excitement in their voices, and we really enjoyed watching their reactions. Everything happened at such a rapid pace, that no one could believe how fat it happened. I had a photo when we all sat down to dinner at 4:20. By 5:01, not only was dinner over, but the grandkids had opened 12 gifts each by then. 😂😂 I call that excitement. After the wrapping paper and boxes were all cleared from in front of the tree, the kids posed for their Hallmark greeting card moment. As for me, this morning I had to try out a present my daughter got for me. It is a towel / robe warmer. It was 22° when I got out of the hot tub this morning, and the warm towel and robe felt pretty good. Now we are on the road to Erie for a Christmas get together with 3 of Susan’s sisters. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted December 19, 2021 #41165 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Just got back from Owen’s 9am hockey tourney game. They won and move to the finals. They were supposed to play yesterday but their opponents backed out due to a close contact with Covid. We would have beat them anyway, as we already had Thursday morning. They play the host team at 4:10 this afternoon. Too which I will add, the referees seem to quite favourable to the home team when we played them Thursday. They also missed a lot of calls against our opponent this morning. Edited December 19, 2021 by A&L_Ont 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted December 19, 2021 #41172 Share Posted December 19, 2021 19 hours ago, ReneeFLL said: So cute. I think she killed the poor moose. 😁 I just about snorted my diet coke while reading this. So funny. Yes I think she did kill the moose. I was interested in why dogs do that with toys. It comes from their wolf ancestry and their native instinct when killing a prey. As long as it's a toy and not me we are good. 17 hours ago, Ozark_Kid said: @Sea Dog Check out the gift I was given. So cool. I think you will like it. What we found that works well is that not only is it good for attaching to lounge chair it works well with the stretcher arm of a umbrella. Makes it real easy to get to because it's higher. Enjoy John and let me know how you like it. 17 hours ago, jagsfan said: . That’s when I realized I had a capped off needle on the inside if my elbow.
