See post 102099. Short explanation = take oil, some chemical to kill lice, put in oiler and let pigs rub against the wheels.  

I know, I read it. I was just saying that I didn't Google it as I knew someone here would come through.

This made my snorkel-loving heart sad.... Roatan is one of my favorite stops for all-day snorkeling right off the beach at West Bay!!!!  Twenty bucks for round trip transportation and I can snorkel to my heart's content.

Is this in a shared van? I have never seen s rate of $20 RT for a solo without negotiation.

There should be a box like compartment on the bottom to catch the cobs/kernels.

Grandson back in California ?

My grandmother had a butter churner on the farm, nothing like that. Jimbo's guess sounds good, you could put you ears of corn in to remove the corn from the cob, then grind the kernals into meal to make corn bread.

Locked to me like a machine to amputate an arm....😒

Expecting some rain and wind starting tomorrow ! The Navy has moved some ships out of the bay to safety.

Thanks. Trying to catch up while at football practice... a lot of distractions.

If you were turning the crank, inserting any body part into hole would not be a good idea.

Winner, winner chicken dinner.  It is a corn sheller.  Bring your own box or container for catching.  It was probably for pop corn since the opening only works with small ears. Found in an antique store in a dark corner.  It now lives in my dining room.  Here is a picture of the interior workings.

For some reason, the sounds of silence seem appropriate today.  

Looking forward to "Summer of Fun 4" 😘

Some might remember pics I posted a couple years ago of a chest of drawers I built.  After building it I decided to modify the plans and build a TV stand.

While on the Hawaii cruise I mentioned to one of our friends that I started a TV stand and had never finished it. When we got back home he asked to finish it for us.  Today he delivered it! So nice.  He did a great job! 

That turned out beautifully.

This is what my daughter awoke to this morning😊

I read that wrong at first.  I thought,  why do you want to move to an impatient area.  😆 That would make me sick.

Yes.  I can't remember if others were with us but there was 5 of us. @brillohead, me and Sharon,  and the couple that cruise with us.  You might remember but the next week Debbi went again and came back with a couple drunk ladies that she helped make it back to the ship.

So, the latest job update for me -- I've decided to switch from the Emergency Department to the inpatient part of the hospital.  

I tried to make it work in Emergency, but I just can't turn off the part of my personality that takes the time to talk with my patient and establish a rapport with them before I start stabbing them with needles and taking their blood, etc.  And in the Emergency Department, it's all about "treat 'em and street 'em" -- there's no time to take the time to get to know your patient or set them at ease.  

I oriented on the inpatient unit this week on day shift, and I go to night shift (where I belong!!!!) next week.  I'll likely be off orientation by the end of my second week (compared to 90+ days of orientation in Emergency)... this is just a better fit for my nursing skillset.  I'm very happy with the move!
 

This is great! So happy for you.

I don’t know about the table, but I have a very similar china serving dish! It belonged to my husband’s great-grandma.

Skinny little Lucy has been on her hyperthyroid Rx cream for a week now. Hopefully, she will fill out a little in the next few months so her bones won’t be so prominent.
