Nope. Not any time soon. It’s AlGore and that groundhog’s fault!

Did I tell ya that there’s mention of a community garden at werK? Maybe I can get some okra this year....some danged varmint keeps chewing the stalks in half - they don’t even bother with the pods.

Community gardens at werk might be a lot of fun. Do you get to work in the garden at recess? :-)

What’s not to like, no predators, rain proof, and close to a food source. Glad the squirrel vacated the grill before you fired it up.

Well I guess we could if we wanted. I’m more planning on staying maybe a half hour after werk a couple of times a week. Anyway, there was just one email out about it to see if there was any interest. There’s lots of room with sunlight and hawks and owls to patrol the place.

I'm under orders from SirKit that if he ever needs to go the the ER, I am to shoot him, instead. ;o)

When he had his 'back adventure' in 2001, he lay in the ER in excruiating agony from his back, with no pain meds, for almost 6 hours. Several doctors came and went, and NONE were able to tell him what was causing the pain, they just sent him home with a prescription for Valium, which caused him to have such hallucinations that he dumped them after that first dose. He took Vicodin and kept ice packs on his back to keep the pain down. Almost a week later, when he was finally able to actually move on his own, I took him to the Physical Terrorist, and it was SHE who finally made a diagnosis, which was that a facet joint in his middle back had been torqued, which caused the pain in his back, and it also caused the fascia of the muscle over his abdomen to become inflamed, which caused the sensation that he was being poked in the navel with a hot stick. The doctors were clueless.

I started taping “Pride and Prejudice” tonight, because I’ve never seen it. If I like it, I’ll order up the whole thing from Netflix.

I think they did a really good job with it! They really follow the book closely. Good cast, too.

I’ll buy it one of these days.

I've tried several times to 'get into' Jane Austen's writing, but I just can't do it! I'd much prefer to see a screen adaptation of any of them. Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her screenplay of Sense and Sensibility, and I considered it truly deserved, after trying to actually read the book once. Same with Persuasion. I love the version with Amanda Root and Ciarian Hinds, but not the one that was done more recently, and shown on Masterpiece Theatre earlier this year.
