Looking Ahead Friday Open Comments

I do not know what is keeping Keith and Willie alive, but folks it may be time for us to consider what kind of world we are going to leave to them.

And now a little musical interlude from Willy and Keith.

Caught up with today’s happenings amongst the Hamsters.  Now off to bed while the rain continues, bit is not a loud storm that scares you enough to get out of bed to look outside to see how wild it is.  G’Night All.

Boyfriend/Hubby took me to see “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”.  He took me to a mystery theater production, too, and I got called on stage to participate.  (I think it was my birthday, or something.)  I was supposed to answer a phone call onstage for the detective in the play. The phone rang and I picked it up, and a… Read more »

Raining cats and dogs out here. For the umpteenth time today.

Three times today there have been the weirdest thunderclaps I have ever heard in my life. The first one was so scary and long….I thought, this is it. That crazy basturd in North Korea really pulled the trigger on the big one.

#32 Shannon Thank you, kind sir. I’ll take my cane with me if I go out. I hadn’t used it since 2013 when there was a week during my PhyEd after knee replacement. We had to get a cane, a rolling chair — can’t remember what that was called, and some other equipment to get trained on. I had not… Read more »

mharper42 – Sounds like a plan – with the rain we’ve had most of today, that’s what we did as well….

Thanks, BSue, today was a day I slept in and laid around the house, so I had very little occurrence of the pain in the calf. I can’t get to either my PCP or the Orthopedic guy till Monday, so my plan is to lay low over the weekend.

mharper42 – that sounds more like inflammation of the membrane over a muscle bundle… (fasciitis)… I’d prolly try my primary and see what he thinks of trying some anti-inflammatory meds – then if that doesn’t help, try for specialist… but that’s just me

#29 OK mharper42… You had me really concerned before. This sounds like some kind of fasciitis – inflammation in the membrane that surrounds a muscle “clump” (how’s that for medical terminology???)…  My only suggestions, without you having seen a Doc is alternating heat and cold… but since the pain is so sporadic, not sure you’d be able to tell whether… Read more »

About bedtime out here.  One of the crew members has to get back to Houston tomorrow, so the crew will be leaving in the morning.  We went out tonight and saw the Christmas lights put up at the Mill Pond Park, and for this little dinky town, it’s very impressive.  You listen to a music broadcast on the radio and… Read more »

The sensation is all inside the calf. No redness, no heat, no pain from my hand touching the back of the calf. And no idea how or why that occasional sharp pain comes and goes, except that when it hurts, it’s always when I took a step. But most steps don’t elicit that sharp pain.

MHarper – no redness, not hot to the touch, and NOT tender to the touch????? If none of those, OK… IF any of those, NOT ok… OK??? 😉

Thanks, ladies, but this week was not a good time to try for a doctor’s appointment.

Those occasional pains do not show anything on the surface of the skin, and there is nothing specific to associate with when a step on the right leg will include that pain, and when it won’t.

#21 MHarper42 – the pain is in the calf? Is the calf warm, red or tender to the touch? If so – I’d call my internist/general practitioner – and if it’s REALLY bad, I might not wait til Monday…

It still feels like morning to me. I really wore myself out with the festivities yesterday. I’ve been having a problem with my right leg for about 10 days. When I am walking and shift to the right leg, the calf on that side sometimes hurts — briefly, but bad enough to make me holler. Then the next step is… Read more »

A few years ago I was at a 4-way stop not far from my house and not far from a local school.  To my left was an SUV, also stopped. Just as I was about to start moving, there was a screeching sound, a crash, and the SUV moved forward towards the intersection.  I got out of my car to… Read more »

“Morning”, chickadees! I did get up this morning, put down 7 bowls of kibble to feed the cats, then went back to bed. This afternoon, I opened a can of wet food and again put down 7 bowls. Then I had my usual breakfast: cottage cheese with fruit and a small bowl of oat squares. Now I’m going back to… Read more »

A former Twitter content moderator was featured in an NBC News segment Monday, and the individual’s identity has shed some light on why many thousands of people, mostly women, have been suspended from Twitter in recent years for stating the most basic and obvious facts about human existence. Melissa Ingle was one of the many contract content moderators to be fired when… Read more »

Good Afternoon Hamsters, Weather folk tell us we shall have rain this afternoon and a good chance for some rocking thunderstorms tonight before we get some sunshine and can dismiss bad dreams about being jolted out of bed in the middle of the night.

This is some great stuff.  The Federalist writes up the often banned YouTuber, Orfalea. Perhaps this is why Orfalea’s videos are so effective. Amassing hundreds of thousands of views, and in some cases, millions, the filmmaker’s work consists of crisply edited mash-ups of politicians and corporate media figures making complete fools of themselves — without any commentary from Orfalea himself. One such mashup shows… Read more »

Since it’s Thanksgiving Weekend a lot of the Fox News regulars are off so today Harris Faulkner was replaced by a Auburn haired blue eyed lady that seems to be as smart as Faulkner and certainly as pretty. 😀

BTW; She is Molly Line, and sometimes shows up on the weekend.

Well, we got a credit card canceled/replaced.  It seems that a $1.00 test charge to change.org triggered the credit card company to lock down our cards. Because that is an unusual charge for us. I’m listening to Fr. Ripperger talk about spiritual warfare.  One of the points he makes is that many of our problems today are because men are… Read more »

This is a good corrective to the fake history peddled by American education for generations about Thanksgiving.  It has been a sly fabrication that early pilgrims established a socialist collective on the shores of the New World.  It was all a lie.  You’ve most likely read other versions, but this is a concise piece by Richard J. Maybury. The Great… Read more »

We worked so hard yesterday cooking and cleaning house for the Thanksgiving dinner, last night my eyes were bothering me so bad I couldn’t handle looking at a screen anymore.  This morning, I slept in and my hands & wrists were so stiff I couldn’t type for a good while.

Posted over yonder; My NC cousin Ronnie, wife Sharron and all their kids/grandkids having Thanksgiving at youngest daughter’s house. A blessed event for sure.

FWIW; He’s at the head of the table with the HUK fishing shirt on, oh and check out the kiddie table in the background,….I remember those days. 😉
