3T and me

Today is the last full day that Teri of Stumbling through Life with Grace will be with my blog. It's been nice seeing her well designed blog over there on my right border.

She started off the week a mite quietly --probably because she hurt her back a few days ago-- but she's had several posts in the past few days as well as a really lovely holiday theme added on. It's a switchable CSS so if you head over there to see it, you might have to manually switch the skin to her "Jingle Bells" theme. Believe me, it's worth it.

In fact, her post from yesterday was about the person who designed the skin, Rachel from Web Divas. On Wednesday Teri wrote an amusing post on the reality TV show Wife Swap. Apparently you can make money ($1,000) by recruiting a family to be on there (and the family gets $20,000) so Teri was sending out a plea for a family interested in being on the show. If that's you--give her a visit!

If you go over and visit her, please wish her a speedy recovery for her back. I know how much those things hurt!

You are so good to your renter. I have a herniated disc in my back and nothing about back pain is fun.

Backs are the worst. My husband has had two back surgeries (and he's only 45). I'm going to go visit your renter now . . .

Ditsy, that's so nice of you to say. Personally I think I'm doing just what I should be for a client. Even though I can't use the points on BE in any meaningful way, I am agreeing to promote the person that hires me and my blog.

Anita, I've never had to have surgery but I have a curved spine so problems do occur every so often. Your husband obviously has things a lot worse than I do.

Ribbiticus, thanks!

Yellowrose, thanks and I agree. Now get back to work! LOL

J-L Picard, thanks, Jean-Luc.

Mrs A, dollars not pounds but either way it's hard to imagine it's enough. I hope your husband can get his blog back together.

Thanks, Glyn. I know about that problem but I've been too lazy to do anything about it. If I used IE I'd have done something but since I usually use Opera with side ventures with Firefox I've managed to put off correcting the design flaw. I probably just have to refrain from using DIV statements.

Back pain....boy, can I relate. We aren't made to walk upright, you know.

3T is already a regular read for me, and on my blog roll. I hope she feels better soon.

Michele sent me, of course!

I'll have to go check your tenant's blog. I'm looking for a new design, and so I'm checking out all the different designs. I know a few people who use web-divas, but I'm still in the "audtion" mode.

visiting from michele's this go round.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
