Should I be concerned? 😧 (not really concerned) 😃 had Oxy for a lot of things. I would take maybe half a one during the day, and a whole one at night. It just put me to sleep, with less pain. It doesn't seem like an addictive thing to me. I liked the Tramadol better (before hip surgery) because it doesn't make (me) sleepy. Which is apparently synthetic. I didn't know you weren't supposed to drive on it. 🤔 Ooops. I don't what the deal is with Morphine. Sue @Lionesss might know. I would have a morphine injection, and I throw up. I think it still works for the pain because it is in your system. I received injections after my back surgery. That happened almost at once, every time. Nurse called DR. to say I didn't seem to tolerate it, and they put me on something else. Now I just tell, when asked. Not an allergy, but a reaction. 3 hours ago, HBE4 said: Edited August 18, 2023 by Coralc 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo&fran Posted August 18, 2023 #101029 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It's 80 degrees here this morning in cloudy south Florida. I hear a lot of people who claim they like their homes in the 60's. I hate when I get on the Todays temp , for the first time in a while, is predicted to only be 89. A little break from the steady stream of mid 90's. And tomorrow is predicted to be 87. At least my electric bill is not crazy. In the hot weather it does go over $100 , last month 107 and this month 109. With out 2br/2bath condo, we keep the thermostat at 77 and when we get to the mid 90's 76, and 76 overnight. As usual, the early prediction is for a lot of rain. It is a dynamic forecast, it constantly changes. Hit or miss whether we actually get rain. I do have an umbrella, but if a squall hits, they are useless. too much wind. Two choices, stay put and stay dry, or go out and get drenched. There is some tropical stuff off of out coast, we may get some weather from that. No hurricane predicted though. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corn I've bought in the grocery store this summer has surprisingly been the best ever. Previous years I would often cut it off the cob to cook it because it wasn't good enough to eat on the cob. I hope yours is exceptional, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 18, 2023 #101031 Share Posted August 18, 2023 All the grandkids slept overnight at our house. Today, they are all playing together for one last time, before their summer ends. I take my son and grandson to the airport later this afternoon for their flight to California. Orientation on Monday, and start of school on Tuesday. Will meet our daughter for lunch, so she can say her goodbyes. She has work meetings all day to get ready for her school year which also starts Tuesday. It seems like summer went fast. 130 days till we are all together again for our holiday get together in Florida. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted August 18, 2023 #101035 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Good news and bad news about my never ending job search. Good news - I got a call from the memory care facility I last worked in before I had ankle surgery. They want me back! Bad news - I had to turn it down because they want me for far too many hours. 6 hours per day. I had a face to face interview yesterday after a phone interview for part time office work managing volunteers for a non-profit org. I'll find out next week if yay or nay. Wish we could cruise enough to satisfy my staying home full time. 😏 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel and bones in downtown Carrollton across the street from twisted root, barbecue food with a brunch on Saturday and Sunday, loads of TVs might be good for football season. I believe they have a couple other locations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope yours is exceptional, too. Yes it is a perennial. Bought it at Lowes the end of the season. It was the last one they had, it was mostly dead when I got it. Didn't expect much out of it. Planted it the end of that summer. During the winter each year it dies down to nothing. You wouldn't even know it was there except I know where I planted it. This is the third year it has bloomed and each year it has more and more bloom the year before. Just had 2 ears of corn for lunch. Ate it right off the cob, it's very good. I don't cut any off the cobs until later in the season and freeze it. I'm hoping all the corn will be harvested before we go away on our cruise on the 11th of September. Pretty sure there will still be more tomatoes to pick, just going to tell the neighbors they are free to go in the garden and pick anything they like while we are gone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good you found some good ones in your store. Yes, I miss my Jersey corn for sure. But I found some seeds on ebay and plant my own here in Virginia now that is very close to Jersey corn. The seed comes from a farmer in Mississippi. It's very good https://www.ebay.com/itm/283816927555?var=585337953151 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought of coming out of retirement and getting a part-time job, but the thought of having to show up on a regular basis brings me back to my senses. 🤪 3 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
