    Pentagenarians & Beyond: 9/8/24

    Thanks for you well wishes. I am scheduled for tuesday morning with oral surgery. very nice man I feel this is best choice. he said there are signs of infection starting and that can cause anesthetics to not work well. I've never had any work done on this quadrant. no fillings or...

    diane sue if you use the bikes often at all, you can get a mat that goes over the tailgate specifically for bikes. the mat attaches to the truck so they cant be stolen. they protect the bikes and the truck finish. usually you drape the front wheel pointing sideways over the tailgate...

    Did not go well this morning. he could not get it numb. not even close. I dont think I ever had the right upper quadrant frozen. it did not respond. The tooth and its roots are definitely still working. he kept checking and probing and it got dulled some, but did not do the job...

    Dont know what happened legally to increase the ID checks but it applies to most stores I use. you just get out the DL before checker gets to the item and they scan the bar codes on the card. Im sure its not optional as I pretty clearly look old enough. diane sue keep in mind...

    Cathy I dont recall why they upped the ID checks. some stores are more aggressive than others but every large store here does it. you need an ID scanned at checkout. you cannot buy alcohol or even "no alcohol" beer without doing it. I definitely look old enough! it's like it's part of the...

    I did x train bi's and tri's, without core & all therapy exercises plus some counter top push ups. they are my adaptation to avoid the irritation I get from regular floor push ups. I get my feet way back and do push ups on an angle as close to flat as I can get safely from a counter...

    Cathy that is so funny... I unload my cart in the way I want things bagged. cold things together, fruit/vegies together, etc. I have a garage fridge and an indoor one. easier to have garage fridge things all together. I use double bags, a paper one inside one of the reusable heavy...

    oh yes the damn check outs! I can do self check out if I have a few simple items. not if I have a lot of produce that needs weighing. also beer and wine need approval and show of ID regardless of how ancient one happens to be. DH drinks "no alcohol" beer and even that requires show...

    I would love a sprouts store! we are still living with the possible kroger/albertsons merger that will totally up end the situation here with several stores turfed off to a third company who is not a good option. now Im hoping we just get to keep the stores we have! we ended up...

    all I did was therapy work and push ups yesterday. got a lunch meeting today so gotta do something soon. didnt we think the internet would "bring us all together", make communication, keeping in touch easier? the whole social media thing turned into a snake pit. and I dont want to...

    It seems like one step forward, two steps back. one state passes some legislation to tighten restrictions and another state decides to loosen things. We can all vote of course but that's not been very effective. the rest of the civilized world looks at us in amazement that we can be so...

    Carolyn that is so sad. and he didnt shoot himself or get shot by the police! we had a school shooting a number of years ago close by. it feels even worse when its close! DH and I were on a bike ride about 5 -10miles away, and heard the sirens and saw every kind of emergency vehicle...

    Geez another damn school shooting! I didnt read about it yet. so sad. nothing significant gets done. hand wringing and hopes and prayers...... after Sandy Hook I gave up the idea this country would ever get restrictions on firearms or ammo. We had a freeway shooting here yesterday...

    A lot of garden work yesterday. lots of stair climbing. since our yard is not close to flat, every trip is up and down several flights of stairs. makes for a lot of exercise spread out over the day. I am also no fan of amusement parks or fairs. last place was Disney world. the...

    Because of the mountainous terrain here and the risk of forest fires, fire lookouts were used a lot. also in WWII for enemy aircraft coming from the west. I have been to quite a few of them. all are similar. whoever leaves last (for the day or season is supposed to secure the doors...

    diane sue this is not a house. its a one room "cabin" manned by a single person watching for forest fires or enemy planes. they were built in high open places with as close to 360 degree views as possible. they have outlived their original purposes. now, people stay in them because...

    We did a trail ride this morning, an hour and fifteen minutes. good for a busy weekend, no big drive involved. cathy I definitely got the idea your DH is a food crank. I agree, would have thought green peppers would be less acceptable than red or orange. I like all peppers, a huge...

    we did a hike yesterday. hard but not too hard. its only 2.5 miles each way but it has a lot of elevation gain and the trail is very rough in sections. it has brushy parts that are very wet and cold, we got soaked in the first little bit of it and it was only 39 degrees to start. I...
