Happy New Year’s Eve Eve all!

I’ve never heard of The Marriage...the ARFS NYE dancing party from ‘45 sounds interesting...

How was Christmas?!

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Happy New Year (Eve-Eve)! :-D I forgot to check in on the thread, doing laundry and stuff, but we’re here, listening to NFL on the radio.

How was your time out of town? Where’d you go?

[Vision]

Happy NYEE! San Francisco.

Did you end up doing anything for Christmas? Get anything good?

[WXRGina]

Cool! San FRAN Sicko! :-D

Our Christmas was fine. I got seven poinsettia plants. :-)

[Vision]

Seven? What's the story with that?

[WXRGina]

A friend gave us two for Christmas, and then the rest came from work. The salesmen at the radio station buy a bunch to give out to clients. I “rescued” the leftovers that didn’t get handed out and no one wanted. :-) One is a pretty white one. You can plant those things in the ground, and they will become nice, large bushes.

Evening, folks.

[WXRGina]

Happy New Year, Viking! I hope you and Mrs. Viking are doing okay.

[Vision]

Hey, how are things?

[Viking2002]

So after I go off the porch Hal Needham-style three weeks ago, I'm ready to put a rope around my neck. The pain is killing me. There isn't a bone from tuckus to collarbone that doesn't hurt. So I go to see my doctor. You know my doctor - Dr. Vinnie Boombatz. He tells me that it's nothing but muscle spasms. So what's he do? Puts me on a five day dose of Valium. Valium. He said don't drink beer, wine, take lorazepam, or anything else with it for five days, You know it does for me? It doesn't make me sleepy. It doesn't relax my muscles. What it does do is it makes me puke. He said that if I don't feel better, he'll see about something stronger and send me to radiology. I'm on Day Four and I still feel like I got run over by a steam roller. He's got one more day before I plant a size 10 hiking boot up his ass and extract it with a prescription for hydrocodone, Darvocet, Percocet, or Dilaudid nailed to the steel toe. That's how I'm doing. And by God, I got pictures to take with me his time.

[WXRGina]

Oh, man, that’s a bummer, Viking. I’m so sorry you’re hurting so badly!

[Vision]

Sorry to hear it.
