Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
He did examine the leg the last time and thought it was okay. So I declined the x-rays because of the cost.
Man...that doesn’t sound like fun...
No, not riding today. Not only is it sopping wet, but my legs are pretty much jello today. I’ll start again next week.
I’m also supposed to pick up *something* on the way in, as it’s the birthday of one of the other gals in the office. I’d get something for breakfast, but there are so many things she doesn’t approve of that I don’t think it’d work. So I dunno. I guess we could just do a card and a gift certificate from the cafe in the building where we work. :-\
I hope that’s all it is! Poor Abby...
So it probably just hurts, and that’s why she doesn’t want to move around. She’s been limiting her activity pretty well anyway, at least.
Yeah, I think what threw us was the no eating/drinking or the “end result” thereof for a week. She started that back after the steroid shot and after we moved things closer to her.
And he probably doesn’t want to give anything for the pain either, or she’ll move too much. I think the crate sounds like a good idea, let her rest.
No joke, a fire is burning in NC and we have the haze and smoke smell up here. Convenient timing since it's going to be in the high 90s again today and in the 100s tomorrow and Sunday.
Heh....at least it’s not unleaded gasoline that’s burning.
Rough morning... a local boy that graduated in 05’ that I had the pleasure to meet, just got home from Afghanistan... in a flag draped coffin...
Half the town was at the airport, flags in hand, tears on their cheeks, standing in the rain, to honor him... funeral is on Sunday...
He was killed when a $#!thead drove a SVBIEB into his patrol...
From the local paper:

God bless him and comfort his family.
I’m so sorry g’nad.
His dad is associate pastor at a local church... the whole family was pretty broken up... specially mom and younger brothers that idolized him...

Oh, damn.
I see by the article that the other troop killed by the same VBIED is from Battleground, WA.
Sad news, g’nad, and a reminder that American heroism did not end after D-Day.
OMG, what if Obama is the 12th Cylon???
