I’ve been trying to write with little success my annual December update to my weathering clients. Terry and my health issues since July have caused lots of things to change. The house we are in now is the smallest we’ve owned since our 1st one. It’s still too big. The 14 steps to the lower level are getting tougher to manage. We do not want a chair lift! Terry’s smoking has finally caught up to her. Her breathing has steadily gotten worst. My stroke as small as it was between August and September (unknown date) had been painful and scary. Much scarier than my 1st in 2015. Recovery has been much tougher than I remember from before but I’m getting good (very weaken left side) now but it’s been very taxing on Terry. Getting sick during recovery didn’t help me. When she got sick upon our return from Texas ( a trip we should not have taken) I was scared I was going to lose her. She’s about as good as she will get breathing wise but still doesn’t qualify for the traveling oxygen tank.

TomO Our thoughts & prayers to you both.
Dawn & I know what you are going through as we have both travelled a similar path. Instead of moving to another property we chose the installation of an elevator. A godsend for Dawn.

Remain positive my friend. Negativity is not an option. That way is too expensive.

Thank you David. Terry has always been a way too positive person and some of it has now worn off to me. We see a great future and look forward to it and expect a few bumps in the road.

The elevator for us is not a good choice because the utilities are in the only landing spot downstairs. Plus we have 3 full bedrooms and baths upstairs which is too big, so the lower lever isn’t really needed. My cave, trains, guest bedroom and bath are downstairs. Also is her excercise area and storage. I can grab wall space in the daughter’s studio for a nice shelf layout 2’x20’.
 
Meant to post this yesterday, but got distracted. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

That is great to hear!

My oldest daughter and her husband routinely have Thanksgiving dinner delivered; they love it!

I'm probably the only one on the forum that likes Cold Duck.

I didn't know what it was. After looking it up I found out about its interesting history, and it sounds good!

We will not build nor do we need assisted living.

My Mom picked a place that had assisted living available, if needed. She never did, after having a heart attack and several more in the hospital she never came home. I know she was happy as she was a strongly independent woman.

It also gives my grandson the opportunity he wants to learn how to use an air brush as he can walk over.

Now we know the rest of the story. ;)

I wish you all the best!

Today starts the Christmas cookie baking for the wife. ... I believe 16 varieties of cookies and candy will be made this year

That is superhuman! I hope you can post some photos. I can't eat cookies made with sugar, but looking and drooling is harmless.

I see the Bears fired their head coach this morning!

That comes as no surprise.

The Bears are too good to have been so inconsistent this season. They should at least be in the hunt for a wild card spot.
 
Someone check my math and methodology please:

Trying to figure out what scale the RMS Titanic STL files I just purchased are
Real RMS Titanic was 269.1 meter in length
That equals 2691 cm

The finished model will be printed in sections, that when joined are 108 cm in length

So: 2691cm / 108cm = 24.9
That means the model is approx 1:25 scale???

Not me in the photo - from the Kickstarter

Close. It's 1:250th scale.

Cold Duck was a cheap Champagne alternative immensely popular in the early 1970s. I haven't even seen a reference to it in decades. You didn't miss much. Best description = Sparkling Wine.

It must be better than MD 20/20 "Mad Dog"

What is ripple? Where is Fred Sanford? Did he finally join Elizabeth?

They both could have called a timeout.

Some coaches don't give anyone the authority to call timeouts. With a rookie quarterback that would not be unusual if he didn't have the coach's permission to call timeout.
