Nevermind. I get it now.

Wanted to stop in and thank you for this thread.

God bless all our soldiers past and present. Please keep them safe.

What a nice Veterans Day thread, thanks for the ping Snippy.

[snippy_about_it]

You’re very welcome. Thank you for ‘falling in’ to the Foxhole.

You’re welcome and thank you for the post.

Oh.... I was looking for a picture of Mr. "hidee hoe" Wilson and found out he had died. :^(

[snippy_about_it]

Oh darn. I remember him, he was funny.

[Samwise]

Home Improvement was one show that all of us enjoyed watching together. They just don’t make good television shows like that anymore. And it was soooooooo funny.

OMG, I don’t know if I should tell you about hubby’s Tim Taylor moment or not.

Hobbit Lass wanted some signs for her Halloween cookout. They were 8 bucks a piece. I said that was silly. We had a bunch of scrap wood and she and her dad could make them for free. (We had already spent bucks on cobwebs, bones, bloody fingers, and a fog machine.)

So I’m upstairs and hobbit lass comes flying into the house. Dad’s hurt! He got himself in the leg with the circular saw. Of course, it was the saw’s fault, not his for being stupid.

Well, I have no idea how much those “free signs” ended up costing us because the emergency room bill isn’t here yet. And yes, I asked the ER doc if he had any spare limbs for my daughter’s Halloween party. :^

Hubby was lucky; he could’ve really done a number on himself.

How’s your leg doing?

[snippy_about_it]

Oh my! How is Tom doing?

[Samwise]

He’s healing up nicely. He’ll be the butt of Tim Taylor jokes for a while though.

How’s your leg and the therapy?

[snippy_about_it]

Ok. Not bad enough to keep from going to work.

My physical therapist wants 8 more visits. Ugh.

I can’t seem to go down steps when I lead with my non-broken leg. The broken yet healing leg doesn’t want to bend forward at the ankle.

Doc say it’s just going to take more time!!!!!

I’m blessed though so no whining from me. ;-)

[Samwise]

Eight visits is a lot. I hope you are better at doing the exercises than hobbit lass. I had to nag her. I can’t see SAM nagging you.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. You’re right, Sam wouldn’t know if I was doing them or not. Ok, so maybe I’m not doing them as often as I could.... Dang, you’re making me feel guilty.

[snippy_about_it]

Sam says I’m old enough to do what I want to do, says I know what I need to do so why should he nag.

Why is everyone around me making sense?

[snippy_about_it]

The post above this one is for you too. I think I’m tired, I’m posting to myself.

[Samwise]

Just trying to take care of you. :^)

[Samwise]

I’m posting to myself.

As Daddy used to say, talking to yourself is OK as long as you don't answer.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Oh boy, I’m in trouble then.

[snippy_about_it]

Seriously though, is your hubby going to be off work for awhile at least? That had to scare the bejeebers out of you.

[Samwise]

He was playing hookey from work when he did it. He’d already put in a long week. He spent his day off getting stitched back together.

No, he wasn’t hurt bad enough to miss any more. He even grilled out that evening.
