CHECKING IN FOR THE DAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AZure-CAlm (too)

Happy Birthday Froggy.

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out."

"Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"

"Actually," said the 80-year old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."

"Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year old.

"No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all."

"So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?"

"No, I have one every morning at 6:30."

Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, "You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?"

"I don't wake up until 7 o'clock."

I'll just have to check in all day here and at the Cafe ....

Make sure I say Thank You to everybody..!

I am so far "up one toy" ..Stephen King's collector dvd set of Kingdom Hospital. My Y-von says "if nothing else, it will keep you out of trouble for a few hours and just maybe, you'll behave yourself" ...LOL LOL

(LOL ...said to myself ..yah..right !)

Froggy

Happy Birthday you two!

I had an odd phone call this morning bright (well, not so bright yet) and early. A G.I. friend of mine was having problems, so he called. I won't bore you with all of the details, suffice it to say, he just needed to talk.

His call bewildered me so badly, I had to work it out myself, so if anybody really wants to read the entire diatribe about it, I posted it in a discussion.

I'm going to call his wife later, see how things are going.

But now, the sun is up, the birds are singing, and I'm ready (as ready as I can get anyway) to get busy!!

Cups of java and bright smiles for all today!!

Happy Happy Birthday frooooogy (I'm singing). Have a beautiful, fun filled day today and every day. Love ya

((((((((HUGS))))))))))

It also appears that today Nick Danger also attains the big Six O.

Tut tut.

<shaking head>

Youngsters nowadays!

Pfft.

Good Afternoon

Weather here is sunny and 66. Beautiful. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

Don't be downheartend froggy about my previous remark. Some 80 year olds might have some problems, but this one took advantage of his:

An eighty year-old man went to the doctor and said "I'm getting married to a twenty-five year-old next week and she wants us to have a family. Can you give me any advice?"

The doctor shook his head. "The only advice I can give you is to get a lodger".

A few weeks later the man went back to the doctor and said "I've come to thank you for the advice you gave me. It's worked so well that my wife's pregnant already"

"And how's the lodger?" asked the doctor.

"Just fine" said the man. "She's pregnant too!"

Hey Froggy hope you have a wonderful Birthday and hope you get all of your birthday wishes

Also happy birthday Azure hope your birthday has been great.

My 4th must be an important day--Froggy, AZ, Nick and my granddaughter Sammi--she is 1 today. Happy Birthday to all! Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood... sunshine and warmth to go with it--a rarity this spring!

Barnyard chores should be about done, dinner is waiting then it is time to go celebrate Sammi's first birthday.

Have a great afternoon/evening all!

Froggie and Azure

I hope you are both having a wonderful birthday.

kle I hope your granddaughter did too.

Gayle, thanks and yes, it's so nice to have him back to his old self...well, almost.

Actually, he has such a good sense of humor now, and I'm really enjoying it. He mixes words up all the time, and it is so funny. Well, sorta funny...you have to laugh, or you'll cry, after all. For example, he says "paint of coat." Another time, he was trying to say that something was being rationed, but instead said it was on the endangered species list. He just laughs and shrugs. Sometimes, the right words just don't arrive when he needs them.

We went to the grocery today, and I would send him off to find one or two things every so often. I stumped him at one point, however...I asked him to get coleslaw mix and slivered almonds. He came back later, empty-handed, saying that he was searching for the items, when all of a sudden he looked down at his hands, and he had his wallet out! He has no idea how it got there.

But, he can cook a mean barbecue. We grilled hollywood ribs, corn on the cob, and diced potatoes, with garlic and onion. Instead of birthday cake, I made him a hot fudge brownie for dessert.

We see the neurologist again in the morning.

Della, I'm so glad your husband is improving. I guess I missed what happened to him, but it spooks me a bit. I do that 'paint of coat' deal and have words that I know good and well completely escape me.

I hope all of you birthday boys and girls enjoyed your big day!!

I finally got some decent sleep, woke up bright and early at 3:30 this morning, and now I think I'm ready to roll!!

I hear birds singing and I see the sun shining outside my office window. Carpe dium!!

Good Morning all ...sun is out ..Robin is singing his ass off ..cats are fed ,,I have my coffee and today is a normal day !

I had an absolutely great Birfday ! Thank you all for making it a Happy one..

Just think how much hell we get to raise when I turn 70 !! LOL LOL

Have a great Day ..

Good morning. I had to return here to report in from the neurology appointment my husband had.

For those who don't know what happened to hubby, he had a heart attack in January, followed by quadruple bypass. During the bypass surgery, he suffered a mild right fronto-parietal stroke.

We were just told that he will continue to improve for the next year. But at the same time, he may never recover to the point that he will be able to work in his chosen career field again.

He was a computer guy...IT, networking, troubleshooting, desktop support, software support, etc.

I'm in a state of shock at the moment, and trying to let it sink in. He was unemployed when this happened, and being the honest people we are, we immediately called the unemployment office to report what happened. They cut off his unemployment pay. VA disability claims are so bogged down that we won't see a determination for a year. Social Security is so difficult to get that it may take 2 to 3 years to see any results from that claim, and will most likely require us to retain an attorney.

I run my own business, and since it's a "luxury item" type of business, I'm being hit hard by the economy.

This is starting to look scary. I was truly expecting them to say he could return to work today, but instead they referred him for psychometric testing (don't even know what that is!), and scheduled a follow up appointment for SIX MONTHS from now! I'm in shock.

Still, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and I'm going to try and concentrate on that, rather than dwelling on the bad. It's kinda hard somedays, though.

I hope everyone on this thread has a good day, and I wish you all good health. Take care, and thanks for letting me vent.

Della

Hey, they unlocked the door this morning! I can walk in!

Thanks for all the cake and flowers and great wishes! I still have a couple of belated birthday events to attend this week. I love it when that happens!
