Hi, Vision! How’s it going?

[Vision]

Things are good Gina, you?

Because it's one of my favorite shows I bought a box of Lux! It's either from the 40's or 30's. It looks like this.

[Calvin Locke]

FYI, a broken icon is displayed in Brave.

Blue tint. If it was yellow, I’d say it looked like the soap bits in my bathroom soap dish...

[Vision]

Hi. Here's another picture, does this work?

[Calvin Locke]

Yep. Must have spent all its marketing budget on the radio show, with none left over for package graphics.

[Vision]

That box originated from the early 20th century...love it.

[Vision]

This Jean Shepherd is awesome...

[WXRGina]

Cool! Yes, that picture works when the first one didn’t. Some websites don’t allow third-party sharing of their images.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks. Hope all is well.

[Vision]

What’s happening? Had any good hot sauce this weekend?

[Viking2002]

No, I’ve been in bed all day with a heating pad on my shoulder. I slipped coming around the doorway to the den late last might and hit the frame like a linebacker. I already had that rotator cuff acting up, and it feels like I either tore or broke something now. My range of motion is only about a third of normal, and when I hit the edge of it, the pain makes me involuntarily whimper. The weather is chilly and rainy, so I’ve had no great impetus to get up. Until my belly said it’s dinner time.

[Vision]

Sorry to hear you’re in pain. Terrible.

[Viking2002]

I’m giving it 72 hours before I make any decisions to go see my doctor. The last thing I need this time of year is to have to visit my buddy the radiologist again. I had 95% of the Christmas lights and house decorations up, too. I can hang a few more ornaments on the trees, and that’s it for this year.

[WXRGina]

So sorry to hear you’re in trouble again, Viking. I hope it’s not broken.

[Viking2002]

Thanks, Gina. I just finished trimming the living room tree and only have about five more minutes on the tree in the nook by the wood stove, and I am done for this year. I was hoping to put up a few more porch window lights, but this shoulder isn’t going to let me, and I don’t want to make matters worse if I’m going to go out of town for the holidays. There’s already plenty out there to entertain the neighbors and wildlife. Besides, they just had their first snowstorm of the year back home, and I’d like to be able to throw a few snowballs around if we get another one Christmas week.
