I miss you guys.

210
If you're ever doing CPR. The BeeGees Stayin' Alive is the proper beat. About 100 beats per minute. Keep that in mind.

Stayin' Alive.

Cool. The beat makes CPR easy. Don't forget.

And. I have no idea how to html here any more. So. Here's the link:

I miss you guys.

Then don't be a stranger. There is an opening for a right winger here. There is too much agreement.

25488. rdbrewer - 8/2/2009 10:54:42 AM

I have to go.

Beck, I hope God showers you with blessings. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to have a nice guy. I love you.

I'll tell you that, as a lawyer, I've had the opportunity to meet hundreds of doctors, and many, many are too confident.

Just keep in mind...only half graduate at the tops of their classes...the others don't. ;-) And someone has to be dead last.....every year.

I'm due for an x-ray of my knee in another month, and if the doc thinks the knee will hold up — mind you, he has forbidden me to get on a horse, so... — I'd love to run another marathon just to come in last. I've always wanted to do that.

25491. judithathome - 8/2/2009 11:36:20 PM

We've just returned for a spectacular 4 day weekend with the Arky's at their lovely home...and I can catagorically state they are the best people in the world. Keoni and I count them as dearest friends.

My son was supposed to accompany us this year for the annual get-together...and he did. I always told him he'd fit right in and now he has. He'll be a part of that place forever now and I thank "Arky and Bob" from the bottom of my heart.

25492. judithathome - 8/2/2009 11:39:29 PM

Wabbit, sometimes coming in last is its own reward...my aunt and I did the Cowtown Marathon one year and we got a standing ovation when we crossed the finish line; we'd stopped to shop along the way...we finished a hair's breadth behind the guy in a wheelchair.

Now I think about it, I'm sure it was his standing O.

25493. wabbit - 8/3/2009 12:04:45 AM

JaH, I'm totally with you on this. I doubt I'd have to stop for any reason at this point, but whatever needs doing...! I won a few marathons in my youth (all charity races) and having been there, always thought I'd like to be last in as many as possible. I know that most people don't enter to win, but still, if it means someone will finish rather than drop out, I wouldn't mind being last one bit.

I'm not one bit surprised to hear that about the Arkys. And what a lovely tribute to your son. Having never met any of you in person, I still feel sure he'd be very happy.

And now the awkwardness sets in. I never know if I've worded something correctly, I certainly don't mean to be anything but supportive — I trust you understand my meaning.

Time to feed the fox.

25494. judithathome - 8/3/2009 12:16:43 AM

Understand and appreciate the sentiment totally!

25495. anomie - 8/3/2009 3:19:22 AM

Just back from doing a few days of Vegas tourist duty with a visitor. Nice to see the variety of posts in the thread, and Rdbrewer too. One of the things we did is see the Cirque Du Soliel, Beatles show "Love". Those songs make an old hippie cry, if for nothing else than the clarity and quality of the music. I understand the music was remixed, but wow!

25496. arkymalarky - 8/3/2009 7:40:10 PM

Oh Judith, how wonderful for you to say that! We feel the very same.

We rode the golf cart yesterday and Leslie is in our favorite areas--especially, for me, overlooking the road and pasture. It's a really wonderful feeling for us on the trail. This was a very special gathering and we are so honored that Judith wanted to share it and our place with Leslie!

25497. arkymalarky - 8/4/2009 1:29:05 AM

Hope the x-ray shows everything looking great, Wabbit! Having my sinus surgery Thurs and hoping to feel a lot better this school year as a result.

25498. robertjayb - 8/4/2009 5:04:31 AM

Good news! I was about to post a prompt (nag) for you to schedule the septoplasty.

25499. arkymalarky - 8/4/2009 6:05:39 AM

Thanks!

25500. arkymalarky - 8/4/2009 6:19:44 AM

Btw, I really appreciate the encouragement and info I've gotten here wrt to septoplasty over the years. I'll probably be cussing y'all Friday, so I thought I'd better thank you now! ;-)

25501. arkymalarky - 8/4/2009 11:58:57 PM

Well, surgery's postponed. My heart rate's too high and I'm going on a beta blocker. I'm going to try to reschedule for Labor Day weekend.

25502. wabbit - 8/5/2009 12:18:30 AM

Oh man, that sucks. Couldn't pass it off as nerves?

25503. arkymalarky - 8/5/2009 12:48:42 AM

Ha! This was my heart doc and he thought I'd be low enough by Thurs with the beta blocker, but the ent wanted to see if it did the job first. I've had a high heart rate since I was a teen except when I had hypo-thyroidism. Mose has it too, and Bro and Dad are on beta blockers. The good news is that the heart doc thought it might help my migraines.

And to be honest, I was struggling to do the things I needed to before surgery and be ready for school to start, and getting it done over Labor Day weekend will be a lot easier. Now I have a few days to relax and get my work done and I feel less stressed. Which may be why my heart rate was 102, but like I say, I've always been like that, so this could end up being another problem solved!

25504. Wombat - 8/5/2009 5:10:57 PM

iiibbb: Congrats! Boy will your life change.

rdb: I shudder to think how much you weighed before. I am about half-way through losing 80.

Arky: Downers maybe? You will be better after the operation, I promise.
