See yours and raise you one. Look carefully, everybody..... :laugh:

Go, Mrs. Tango! I think it's cool that she had the t-shirt made. :cool:
She didn't have it made. I surprised her with it after someone, maybe Samantha Bee, did a piece on the horrible official behavior of a prominent male U.S. politician toward a prominent female U.S. politician. That was a phrase he used. Can't remember where I ordered it from. She also has a "Nasty Woman" one, and a pink version of my black ITMFA tee. She says that every time she wears one of them in public she gets positive comments from women.
 
NOW that you mention it

I still have the walker <ahem> gifted <cough cough> to me in the course of what the medical establishment calls bilateral knee replacements. Knees, as it turns out, are integral to walking. The walker is part of the deal with new prosthetic knees. That I kept it is only an indication of it being a handy place to stow things I don't need.

Those things I don't need are binned and the walker was drafted as a mobile seat for time in front of the sink.

It is a very nice walker :meh:
Gotcha one of the ones that have the hand brake levers and the seat, then, I'm guessing. And a pouchy thing?

Don't forget the ever-charming "lectured on my own specialty" pickup line.

Oh yes, there are primitive friction brakes for the front wheels. The handles snap back with ill intent when the brakes are released. And yes, a pouch under the seat. This new rant about medical devices was narrowly averted though the intervention of

Whoa! Pulmonary emboli are scary. Glad you're doing okay.

Wow! Lucky they caught it. I had blood clots a few years ago. I’ll never forget a Dr. leaning over me and stating: “you’re one lucky dude!”
Take care!

Good weekend plans! Heal up. View attachment 4020394

To my GOF's: My prayers to those of you who are mending, may His Angels watch over you. For the rest of you grumps, have a great weekend! I'll be back....

Thanks to all...got my compression socks, menu worked out and the treadmill is ready!
 
In looking through some photos for something I needed, found a mirror selfie from five years ago. What I noticed is my hair was redder then than now. And I've not changed my henna mix. The answer is obvious (to me). I've got more gray hair now than I did five years ago.

More gray = blonder.
*quit your snickering*

A new henna mix is expected in Wednesday's mail. I've a Thursday salon appointment. That leaves a narrow window to complete the henna job, as I've a doctor's appointment Wednesday afternoon ....

These are the sample swatches. Whatever happens when I henna is permanent, so.

IMO, go with what makes you happiest.

Mrs. Tango does not acknowledge gray hairs or call them such. To her, they are the "clear" hairs. When she detects what she calls "root rot," she applies the appropriate products, of course. She maintains her natural dark brown tint/hue/shade. However, she has to walk around with an older, "clear"-streaked geezer. C'est moi. The Tango family tends to die prematurely, but it also tends to leave young-looking bodies behind. When my father passed away at 75 he had less clear hair than I do now at 68.

Too much red, I've noticed, looks very fakey in strong natural light, particularly sunlight. If you go brick red, of course, you have to start chain-smoking Luckies so that you develop the nice deep voice of Marge's sisters. And take to wearing sweatshirts with cutesy sayings on them. So, your choice.
