I was scheduled for a Rotator cuff Surgery, but it had to be re-scheduled because I had been taking Turmeric before the surgery -which is a no no.
Actually I woke up the day of the supposed surgery as sick as a dog from the flu, : bronchitis, stomach issues, headache and sore throat. Really sick. My surgery was moved until Dec. 12, so now I’m recovering from that.
Oh- and I had a flu shot this year!
I hope everyone who is sick takes good care of themselves and recovers soon!

Syrian govt troops wont enter Manbij: YPG
..1h...
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region There is no plan for Syrian government troops to enter Manbij, the spokesperson for the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units (YPG) said on Saturday.
We have just called on the Syria army to come and protect the territorial integrity of the Syrian land and our talks have been in this context, not for them to enter Manbij city, Nuri Mahmoud said in an interview with Rudaw TV.
Around 300 regime troops have been deployed to the Manbij area, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. But they have not entered the city.
The Syrian army is not going to enter Manbij city or its surrounding villages. There are no Syrian troops at the moment inside Manbij city, said Mahmoud.
They are going to be stationed outside the cities to protect the integrity of Syria.
The Manbij Military Council a local force of Arabs and Kurds backed by the US-led coalition is in control of the city. They fear that an anticipated US withdrawal will leave them vulnerable to an attack by Turkey, who considers the Kurdish groups terrorists with ties to the PKK.
Turkish forces and their allied Syrian militias have gathered to the north and west of Manbij, threatening to launch an attack. Ziyad Haji Ubed, a commander within the militias, said they have 15,000 fighters ready to enter Manbij.
Local residents said they would prefer regime forces in their city over the militias backed by Turkey, who one man described as thieves.
US President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that he had ordered a rapid withdrawal of some 2,000 American soldiers from Syria. Facing harsh criticism for getting out of the country before the defeat of ISIS and leaving their Kurdish allies exposed, Trump later walked back his initial pronouncement and said the withdrawal would be slow and coordinated.
US troops are still at their positions in Manbij.
Mahmoud (The YPG was formed in 2004 as the armed wing of the Kurdish leftist Democratic Union Party)spokesperson for YPGsaid they have not yet made any moves to leave.
Until now there have been no practical steps made by the Americans to withdraw from northern Syria, it is just a decision, he said.
The Americans have not even received advice as to how they should withdraw and from where, he added.
US commanders are reportedly drafting a plan for the withdrawal and they favour allowing the YPG to keep the weapons provided for the war on ISIS.
Mahmoud did not comment on that proposal, but said, Weapons that Americans brought with them to Syria have been used and are being used in the fight against ISIS.
When the US began arming the YPG, they tried to assuage Turkeys objections by promising to take back all weaponry once ISIS was defeated.
The YPG, under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), is still fighting ISIS in Deir ez-Zor province.
They are battling on several axes in the Euphrates River valley, progressing slowly as they fend off ISIS counter-attacks.
I don't know the depths of it; I just observe IMHO that she is now a mess.
What ever happened to that Miley Syrus?
Nice innocent little girl to a slut.

For those that naively ask why didnt the Republicans get approval to build the Wall over the last year, it is because IN THE SENATE WE NEED 10 DEMOCRAT VOTES, and they will gives us NONE for Border Security! Now we have to do it the hard way, with a Shutdown. Too bad! @FoxNews
Oh okay I’ve seen those. I thought that thing wss something else cuz it was going so fast. Or maybe they always go that fast oh, I guess I’ve never seen one in action! Looked pretty neat, thanks for sharing.
I think Trump is setting up the new democrat house to take the blame for everything. I don’t believe for a minute that even with 10 Democrat votes that many Republicans would have voted to protect our border. Traitors!
What is the estimated time to start physical therapy for you?
I didn’t realize taking turmeric was off limits. Good to know, because it does me a lot of good.
LOL, love those ideas fun things to do during the government shutdown.
Freedom from regulation, wouldn’t that be nice! I was going to start myself a little spice business, but the Tennessee regulations are so strict that it’s not worth my while financially.
Coast Guard INFORMATION...
*********************************
“Will Coast Guard members get paid on Dec. 31? Yes, the Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Coast Guard have identified a way to pay our military workforce on Dec. 31, 2018. This one-time action applies to military members that served on active duty in the month of December and those reserve military members that drilled prior to the lapse in appropriation.”
************************
“If you were an active duty military member in December, then you will receive your monthly paycheck on Dec. 31, 2018. That paycheck will include all of the normal pay and allowance benefits (e.g. basic pay, BAH, BAS, etc.).”
“If you were a reservist that served on active duty during the month of December, you will also receive your monthly paycheck on Dec. 31, 2018 and it will include all of your normal pay and allowance entitlements.”
*******************************
“Finally, if you were a reservist that conducted reserve training prior to Dec. 21, 2018, then you will receive the appropriate pay and allowance entitlements on Dec. 31, 2018.”
********************************
“Will I get paid on Jan. 15? This approval only covers the Dec. 31, 2018 paycheck. It does not guarantee a paycheck on Jan. 15, 2019. Meeting active duty and reserve military payroll for January 2019 will require a fiscal year 2019 appropriation, a continuing resolution, or passage of an alternative measure.”
*******************************
“Why the change from earlier guidance that indicated the Coast Guard military members would not be paid on Dec. 31? Generally, the Coast Guard lacks the authority to pay its members during a lapse in appropriations. The circumstances of this lapse are unique because of the timeline of the lapse in relation to the military pay process. Ultimately, extensive research and legal analysis between the Coast Guard, DHS, and OMB determined the Coast Guard has the authority to execute the remainder of pay and a
Yeah, that one. What the heck is it??
I know there are ice- breaking ships, but trains?
They actually do equip trains with snow plows or large snow blowers.
Sometimes the plows are mounted on the engine, sometimes on cars that are pushed in front of the engine.

Second to last, where is that? I just want to make sure I don’t move there, that population has to be the dumbest on the planet!
Hi NIKK, I’m so happy for you that you finally heard from your friend.
It’s an anti-inflammatory, therefore it thins your blood. It makes too much bleeding during surgery a possibility. It was on the list my surgeon gave me, but I didn’t read it carefully enough.
My PT starts this week, although I’m doing way more than I’m supposed to, so I don’t think rehab will be as horrific as it was on my last shoulder.
I’m glad your PT seems to be helping you!
So sorry to hear your son is estranged. Praying he comes around. My oldest son is bipolar, and when he went off his meds would be mad at everyone. He once went almost two years without speaking to me, but I continued to send him messages and cards. He finally got back on his meds and started talking to me as though nothing had happened. I’m telling you because I know how much things like that hurt.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
My brother and sister have no contact with me due to a conflict over my parents estate when I forced them to sell a cabin. As a co-owner they had the option of buying me out or I could force a sale, which I did. Unfortunately , for them, the law was on my side.
