Afternoon, Everyone.
Tom, since you have previous experience with that incompetent doctor, you can have a written directive as part of your FIL's living will that this idiot is not to provide medical care for him. You essentially fire him, the same way you would any member of a project team that's not doing things in your best interest. Blaming the patient is always counter-productive and is the sign of a passive-aggressive personality that makes for a bad doctor. A stroke finally makes sense as a diagnosis though. I really would urge you to see if he can get an open MRI done since that will give you all a much better idea of what damage this stroke may have caused and how likely is another, possibly fatal, stoke in the future.
Paul, I hope the doc didn't chew you out too bad. Sometimes you just gotta have a little fun.
Thanks for the congrats on my daughter. She's not only smart as a whip, she's also beautiful. Where were all the girls like her when I was 18?
Corey, glad you won your bid on e-bay. I always bid the max I'm willing to pay. If a sniper comes in at the last minute and drives the price up to more than I'm willing to pay, it's his. If not, yes, I do pay more than the previous high bid but I know I paid what the market thought it was worth. Did you ever see a picture of the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield , Nevada? This is what it looks like:
Sounds like it's similar in construction to what you are trying to do.
Steve, you washed a rabbit? I just paid our vet $25 to wash our cat because he would rip the living cr*p out of me if I tried dunk him in a bucket. I hope rabbits aren't as mean.
Ray, I went through that "Staging" stuff when I sold my house too. Assuming the house is reasonably neat and clean to begin with, I'm not convinced that all that work does much good. Clutter is bad but I think prospective buyers want to get an idea of how livable the house is. All I know is a neighbor down the street paid a staging company $4,000 to fix their house up for sale and I just threw some of my extra junk in closets and had the carpets cleaned. My house sold for $5,000 more than theirs and it sold before their house. Identical models otherwise. They weren't very happy when I left. :0 Sounds like you had a great time at church. I had five minutes to give a summary of my daughter's life and our life together for the last two years. I officially adopted her last month. I told the crowd that she thinks I did it because I love her but I actually just needed the tax deduction.
Rex, there have been times I've looked longingly at my motorhome sitting in the driveway and wonder why I ever stopped here. I did have a lot more free time by myself, on the road, but I would also have not have had a second loving family like I do now. There's a plan for everything and I just try to go with the flow. However, I'm taking a nap this afternoon come hell or high water.
Another beautiful day in the Heart of Dixie with a temperature of 85 but the humidity is only 25%. The low last night was 51. Almost no mosquito's so far this year too. If it stayed like this the rest of the summer, this place would be like paradise. Unfortunately, June is around the corner and these pleasant days will be a thing of the past for the next four months. No rain on tap here but hoping for more toward the end of the week.
