holiday update

I'm not having much luck at uploading pictures today. I'm at my parent's house and that means dial-up connection. *shudder*

I was out on the lake twice today kayaking but my shoulders felt like hamburger so I didn't get much speed. I hate it when the body doesn't cooperate! The first time I went out it was at 7am and mostly for pictures. The second time was at 1pm and that was for distance and sans camera.

I head to GA and my brother's house tomorrow morning from here at 6am for a 8am Christmas morning rendezvous there. My parents left this morning but there's not room enough for all of us --sound familiar? no room at the inn?-- so I'm joining them in the morning. The traditional everyone-going-to-church on Christmas Eve had nothing to do with my decision.

Well, maybe a little!

I hope y'all have a great holiday celebration whether it be Xmas, Hanukkah, Yule or one of the other ones. Mozel tov.

One day a year and you don't want to join in? Tsk... tsk...

I received four separate invitations to attend services tonight. I can't do it, but if I could have fit it into the schedule I'd have gone to one of them.

At least you'll all be together tomorrow...

Merry Christmas Utenzi!

I have to use dial-up from home as well - I feel your pain!

Church is just too damn depressing, Teresa. The entire misogyny scene is so old fashioned.

Ditsy Chick, oh that's horrible. I switched over to Road Runner 9 months ago and can't imagine suffering dial-up ever again. Those were nasty times! LOL

Isn't it the worst when you have experienced the magic of high-speed internet access and then you have to use the lowly dial-up?!

Happy holidays to you, too!

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?
