Thank you, that they are not.


Thak you, there will be no running amok here, she is still mobile and tracking me.


Thank you, she certainly has been good to me, and I am doing my level best to return the favor,


It most certainly will, and I will be sure to tell her. She often asks me "how are your train friends?"

All my life I have worked and played my best under pressure.

God is with me, as always. My blood pressure was 110/71 just a few minutes ago. My wife insisted I check it and show her the results.

Louis: Hoping for the best for both of you. Keep in mind that pneumonia brings fever with it. Fever reduces hydration. Keep her hydrated and comfortable! Feed a fever, starve a cold they used to say, so let her eat lightly if she wants. Protein and fruits probably the best; no processed sugar...

Cue in the ancient astronaut theory. Been watching that a lot lately. It's all true when every opening statement from them starts with "is it possible". Of course it is. One of their guys said that he hasn't been able to disprove anything.
 
Question: if I use the angry response ICON:mad:, it means that I am angry about the info and is not a thumbs down at the poster, correct? Example is Troy's public poop issues. It pisses me off that people leave their cr@p all over the place. When I lived in SD, we had a nice park right next to our apartment complex. We'd let the kids frolic when we lounged in the nice grass, until we hit a few land mines. Then I saw a darkened car stop, open the door, two large dogs come flying out, poop all over, dogs jump back in and off they go. If I had a 1# cannon...

We stopped going to the park.

Thank you and thank you for the advice!

I have been pushing Sunny D, she doesn't like orange juice, she prefers water. The doctor said Sunny D was good. I knew we had that on hand, and each little bottle has 100% vitamin C. I'm a believer in loading up on Vitamin C to fight viruses. The doctor said "It can't hurt"

I'm pleased with what she has been eating, and she has been drinking a lot! The doctors also told her to "eat anything you can just eat!"

The doctors told her that drinking will also help to remove fluid from her lungs as she urinates. The more she drinks the better. God's creation is utterly amazing.

She is also taking a water pill, Hydrochlorothiazide. Medical science is also surprisingly good.

Our esteemed member @Jaz avalley asked that I keep her posted on my little Angel's condition, so here it is.

Not much has changed. Recovery from pneumonia is a slow grind. It has only been 36 hours since her first dose of antibiotics. The good news is she doesn't feel worse, and the pain is all but gone. She is sleeping peacefully and coughing less.

Yesterday she ate two sunny side eggs for breakfast, jumbo eggs are the only ones we buy. She ate fruit for lunch. I got her to eat pasta salad for dinner. I filled her plate, I didn't expect her to eat it all, but she did eat more than I thought she would. I used Brami high-protein pasta. 21 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber in a 3.5oz serving.

I made decadent brownies for her this morning for when she wakes up. Yesterday she said she wanted to eat something sweet, I got that covered! We get these brownie mixes from Aldi "Specially Selected - Double Chocolate - Premium Brownie Mix". They are not cheap, but my grandson says they are the best!

And don't worry about me, my blood pressure was great again this morning as was my glucose!

Yes the icon is intended to be used for your anger in response to the word contents

Or you can express extreme anger by using it in support of your own words

People may attempt to use it in other forms, but that is its intended use.
 


Update: My little Angel is awake after sleeping well. She was happily surprised to see the pan of brownies. I trimmed the edges; she prefers the middle. I served her two middle pieces with a glass of milk. Not the most nutritious breakfast, but it fits the "eat anything you can, just eat" doctors' instructions.

Louis. Prayers and thoughts for your wife. Health issues are never fun.

And happy birthday and anniversary to everyone who’s celebrated recently. I’m not good about mentioning it. Sorry. I try to avoid my birthday in public (anniversary of course I have to remember).

Two interviews today. One was scheduled for yesterday but was postponed due to my daughter being sick all night. I think I mentioned that yesterday.

Also need to fix the wall around a window in the sole window well we have. The foundation and outer house walls are ICF — foam out layer. I had covered it with an acrylic “stucco” covering but it was before the windows were put in so that flexible black flashing cones out over this coating and I need to staple it down and out another layer of this coating on top. The wall below the window was actually damaged some by falling wood from either the roof framer or maybe siding guy. I fixed it from a leak standpoint but need to make it look good and also reinforce it. So the goal is to coat the whole window well outer wall with Semco waterproof membrane. Then add two coats of that acrylic stucco stuff and then two more coats of clear Semco waterproof membrane. That will make sure we have no leaks at all around the window well.

Due to the color we painted the outside (a gray based off white instead of white) I’ll be using a different color of this acrylic stucco stuff. Eventually I’ll add a layer of it all around the house so that it matches everywhere and looks like a dark gray concrete instead of the current linen color. The linen color would have been good with a real white but is not that great with the off white.

Is you daughter better?

Remind her that those brownies are all-natural. Everything in them is found on the planet! [this statement is really useful to annoy health food fanatics]

Anyway, I'm up in the middle of the night as my back decided to not be co-operative on sleeping. Says it's 66 outside with rain ongoing and predicted to continue. Off work today unless I get called in, but will be working Friday and Saturday.

"What happened to the edges?" "What crunchy, scrumptious edges?" as you walk into the wall from the sugar high. haha
 
Well, howdy there internet peeps.

Louis: Glad that Angela is on the mend. She'll have you whipped into shape running errands for her by the end of the weekend.

Came back from dinner at Penn Station last night, took a stroll around the community to check for poo, and found none.

I'll head out once it's light to see if there are any new additions.

But, my tummy decided to bloat and tie itself into a knot last night. Felt like I needed to pass gas in the extreme, but nothing was moving. A couple of "constitutionals" later, and I felt good enough to try to sleep. It's mostly eased. Not sure if cleaning the dog poo let me pick up something from the pet side (i didn't wear gloves, but did use a garden trowel and bleach spray), or if it was something else.

Feeling good now, but limited breakfast to a cup of greek yogurt and coffee.

In the future, if we get that far, and living out in space….that all natural will likely have value
Meantime Bruette has made them with love for his love adding the important ingredient.
I slapped this together in a hurry once, pretty it is not but I took a picture because they criticised it, 15 minutes later there was not a crumb left the little piggies, and asked me to ,
Make another asap
….sighs…..Here we go again…..I come from a town down under…. Music plays in background
