18817. thoughtful - 3/10/2006 12:03:31 AM True, I hope I'm significantly younger than what I hope to eventually be...in fact I'm wondering if I'm yet at middle age. I do intend to live beyond 100, esp since my maternal grandparents made it to 98 and 99. Given medical advances by that time, that should be an easy milestone to cross. 18818. thoughtful - 3/10/2006 12:03:43 AM Provided I don't get run over by a bus! 18819. anomie - 3/10/2006 12:09:10 AM I'm significantly younger than what I hope to eventually be...
Funny! And profound. And true! Great quote. I'll have to remember this one. 18820. arkymalarky - 3/10/2006 12:26:02 AM You're blessed to have so many people who love you and love to show it, Mags. 18821. wonkers2 - 3/10/2006 12:28:49 AM Mags, we have a restraining order on the Cap'n. He's not allowed withing 100 miles of the wedding. W2 18822. arkymalarky - 3/10/2006 12:29:04 AM We got to all spend about an hour sitting in the hall this morning for a tornado warning. 18823. thoughtful - 3/10/2006 12:55:28 AM that's unusual this time of year, no? 18824. arkymalarky - 3/10/2006 1:13:08 AM No, we're in tornado season, and the most common time for tornadoes here is between March and June. In AR, though, time means nothing. We've had them here in December. Cold weather isn't consistent through the winter months, and because of our fluctuations, tornadoes can happen any time of year. "Tornado season," though, is March to June. 18825. judithathome - 3/10/2006 4:45:02 AM Sorry to be so late in arriving...my leg has fractures and nothing more...they are in the weak places where the broken leg healed. I have to stay off my leg for 6 to 8 weeks and use crutches.
My arms are already aching. 18826. woden - 3/10/2006 4:54:33 AM Glad its nothing too dire, Judith. Here's hoping the 6-8 weeks flies by. 18827. wonkers2 - 3/10/2006 5:45:45 AM Judith, look at the plus side--you'll end up with arms like Schwarzenegger! 18828. alistairConnor - 3/10/2006 9:25:05 AM Well, that's better than a poke in the eye with a dirty crutch, Judith.
Perhaps our positive thought-waves will help the fractures to heal? 18829. Macnas - 3/10/2006 10:14:40 AM Go lightly now Judith and stay off that leg,
we know it’s a bore but best do what he said.
Though you hate those damn crutches and hobble around,
go lightly now Judith, ‘till that leg is sound.
18830. prolph - 3/10/2006 11:09:40 AM j@h, would a walker be easier? At least on the arms. Get well soon. Patsy 18831. thoughtful - 3/10/2006 3:25:40 PM Thank goodness it's nothing more severe.
I know how painful those crutches can be. Within 2 weeks of using them, it aggravated the nerve in my elbow and every step caused horrible shooting pains in my arm.
Can you hire a rickshaw instead? 18832. PelleNilsson - 3/10/2006 5:49:19 PM Good news Judith (all things considered).
And Happy Birthday to Mago! 18833. judithathome - 3/10/2006 8:47:35 PM Thanks, everyone...I'm managing oaky.
Patsy, I have a wlker, too, and use it around the house but believe it or not, it works on the arms, too.
It has occurred to me that I may end up with biceps like Arnie! Hopefully, the abs will get a workout, too. They certainly are achy enough after just one day.
Mac, you little sweetie! I copied that poem and saved it!
18834. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 3/10/2006 9:01:23 PM Hope the universe compensates you in other ways, Judith–as well as a speedy recovery. 18835. Jenerator - 3/10/2006 11:17:55 PM Judith,
That stinks. I hope this is the last time you have to use the crutches. May your fractures finally heal. 18836. Magoseph - 3/10/2006 11:56:55 PM You're blessed to have so many people who love you and love to show it, Mags.
Yes, Arky, I shouldn’t complain—-I’d probably raise a stink if they were ignoring my birthday.
And Happy Birthday to Mago!
Thank you, Pelle.
