Well, if you have a rib to spare, or a short one, you wouldn't miss it.

Happy Birthday Mote!

25661. wabbit - 9/11/2009 5:20:49 PM

Ten years today!

25662. arkymalarky - 9/11/2009 7:05:33 PM

Oh yeah! Happy birthday to us!

Judith, tell Keoni that Bob really likes that Hawaiian music cd. We're listening to it now on the way to LR to my appt. That and two pain pills, per dr's instructions, and maybe he won't have to pry me out of the car when we get there.

Went to the Hot Springs Sams to see if it's worth buying a card for $40. It is, even if we don't need it.

25665. arkymalarky - 9/11/2009 10:31:19 PM

Ok, Ano. It wasn't bad for me, but it took about five minutes because he got most of it in surgery. It feels like they're preparing to suck your brains out, the suction is so strong, but for me it didn't last a minute and only hurt a little. They make you bring a driver, and Bob was like, "I came all this way for that?" And the dr said it can be really bad. So if you're thinking about it, you might want to find someone else who's done it and ask. I think everyone associated with the Mote had theirs done before they did it this way.

Arky, is this the CD from Starbuck's? If so, track 6 is my favorite of the whole thing.

Glad it wasn't too bad at the doctor's office.

And you will like having the Sam's card...eapecially with all the storage room y'all have. Things like papaer towels, TP, cleaning items, etc. We have Sam's and CostCo cards and what one doesn't have, the other one does.

Unfortunately, we don't have half the room to "stock up" on stuff that you do.

Tell Mose she can get great Christmas ribbon there...huge rolls of it for under $7 and it's all that wide, wired sort that makes excellent bows!

25667. arkymalarky - 9/12/2009 11:55:13 PM

I don't know about the cd and Bob isn't around to ask, but it had a lot of variety.

We get to Hot Springs at least once a month, and I always said if they ever got a Sams in HS I would get a card. They have several new stores in HS which is good for me, since I don't like shopping in Little Rock.

25668. judithathome - 9/13/2009 12:31:49 AM

I asked K and it was, indeed, the one I was thinking of.

Take a listen to track 6...it's instrumental and reminds the most of what Keoni's father's music was like...jam sessions, etc.

His band was "Big Band" style, though.

25669. arkymalarky - 9/13/2009 12:55:02 AM

I know the one you're talking about and I really did like it. Bob brought the cd in a few minutes ago.

Arky,

"I think everyone associated with the Mote had theirs done before they did it this way."

Probably so. My septoplasty was in 1998 and I don't recall the procedures you describe.

I hope you continue to do well and that you are as pleased with decision as I was.

25671. arkymalarky - 9/13/2009 6:40:05 AM

Thanks Robert! Right now I feel almost the same as before the surgery, but I'm not surprised. I'm still early after surgery and just starting to heal. The nurse said 1-2 months to see the results. I'm really excited and ready.

25672. arkymalarky - 9/13/2009 6:46:16 AM

And you know, even if it didn't work it was worth a shot. You just get to the point you feel bad all the time. There are lots worse things than chronic sinusitis, but if you can fix something that's making you feel bad all the time that's a good thing. I imagine in a couple of months I'll be kicking myself for putting it off so long just because I'm a chicken.

Hello, all. A while back I posted a link to my FaceBook page. I just realized it may have been closed to people already in my group. Was it? Anyway, it's open now. If you want to see the stuff I referenced regarding the ex, it's down at the beginning of my yapperizing. I just joined a few weeks ago.

Oh. Good news. For the first time in my life I've found an anti-depressant I can tolerate. It's not an SSRI; it's an SNRI. It doesn't make me groggy at all. I can't believe it. Too late to get me unstrapped from this car wreck appreciation chair, though, seems like. We'll see.

25674. arkymalarky - 9/13/2009 4:47:42 PM

Maybe it'll kick in in the next few weeks. I know they take a while.
I've got to get on Facebook on a computer. I can't do anything on my phone except get things that go to my account. I could upload pics, but it's a hassle.

25675. iiibbb - 9/15/2009 12:42:17 AM

I have a new netbook. It is pretty cool. It's a Lenovo S12... sort of bridges the gap between a netbook and a laptop... I wanted a bigger screen and a keyboard you could actually touch type on. Not huge performance, basically a lateral move from my 5-yr-old laptop, but these things are quite inexpensive and weigh less than 3 lbs.

I can't imagine ever going with less than a 12" screen.

25676. judithathome - 9/21/2009 6:16:41 PM

After 8 days of no phone service and only sporadic DSL connection, my phone and DSL line are working properly. The technician even gave me his private cell number to call if it happens again.

I suspect it is because we gave him biscuits and jam when he arrived early yesterday. ;-)

25677. Ms. No - 9/22/2009 5:12:10 AM

Keoni's biscuits? The man will be camping out in your yard!
