Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[alaskaleftybass]

Roll Call! Front and center all GOF's. Report on all toes fingers and appendages accounted for. What are you up to this weekend? I've been hanging out in the hospital eating hospital food LOL. Call me weird but it's almost starting to taste good...???? That's a scary thought.

When we get home Carey can't wait to be in her own bed. When she came out of her delerium she asked for a dog and I said ANYTHING YOU WANT MY LOVE. So I guess we're on the hunt for a new dog for wife Carey. I left our place in shambles and a local church came in and cleaned it for us? Who says miracles don't happen???

So what say ye, GOF's? What is everyone up to? I'm sorry but I'm too grumpy to all you GOF's to reference you. But you know who you are! LOL.

Glad you're getting that worked out.

How DID they figure it out?

Colonoscopy is your friend!

@Stumbo they did a CT scan 3D and created a 3D image of her colon. As we get older our little lumps on our colons called "tics" appear. She had two that became infected.

Had a colonoscopy this past Tuesday. The procedure was a piece of cake since I was out cold the entire time. The prep for the procedure was brutal. I swear, I passed a snickers bar I ate in sixth grade.

Good to hear Carey is mending and getting a new dog. Cheers!

Great news brother Will!

Here! At work and cant count my toes.

What happened with the hospital food is actually quite common. Half your taste buds commited suicide and the other half went insane. Bad news is it can't be cured or reversed and you will only like hospital food. Good news is you can save a fortune on food now by buying everything in gallon cans and eating out is relatively cheap at a hospital cafereria!

All is well here. All fingers and toes still in tacked.

Your inspiring comments put a smile on my face. The thought of getting a dog can help with the recovery.

Many hospitals have therapy dogs that can drop by for a visit. Nothing like experiencing that love.


And by the way, all dogs like pupcakes.

I’ll mostly be working this weekend.

Bro @BassmanPaul welcome back! You and I stay out of trouble ok? LOL Tall order!

i’ve been around Will, but all the excitement and enjoyment of logging in has departed. I’m spending my spare time reading through the books written by Anne McCaffrey. Found a couple on the 'bay that I hadn’t known of so I picked them up.

When I do pickup my laptop I tend to kick off Spider Solitaire rather than Talk Bass. I still feel we were treated abominably and it rankles!

I am most certainly happy that your Carey is on the mend and a new dog is always a welcome addition to the family.

I miss all of our girls and one boy terribly. Their lives were so short but they all brought so much love and joy. Their pictures decorate the walls of our elevator so we see them constantly.

Sorry bro @BassmanPaul but you can’t leave! LOL Good to see your grumpy avatar and pleas don’t be a stranger!

I went to the lobby with my laptop for a break and found this patient waiting for a callback from his insurance company!

That's the spirit, Will...all the best to you and Carey!

All fingers, toes and thumbs accounted for. This being Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, I want to pass on a special thanks to all my friends and family in Canada, eh!

This weekend, the one thing I am missing is my 97 year young mother who passed away a few weeks ago. But, I am thankful for the example she set for me, my family and the friends who knew her. Our lives are better for it.

There’s an old British expression, “Don’t let the bastards grind you down” (origin).

Gordie said it well, turn the lights on.

 

[Relsom]

Glad to hear that the wife is on the mend. I've been playing around with a new oscillating multi-tool gizmo to cut out some bad window trim around the house. So far, all appendages are intact. Trying to get these outdoor projects done before the bad weather starts in. Queen Snorkleface doesn't like when I get up on ladders now that the COPD thing has me broke down a lot. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes.

 

[alaskaleftybass]

Watch those fingers!

 

[G-Dog]

Here! With all apendages intact and in good working order! Back incision healing nicely and walking well without nerve pain! YAY!

Great news, @alaskaleftybass! Continued healing to Carey and yourself.

I must be all here...

Cause I dang sure ain’t all there

I actually posed as a Therapy Dog once. Got away with it for a while. Then I heard the nurses talking and one said, "Notice how picky he is about which lap he gets on?" and another said, "He sure looks too big to still be nursing." So, I humped their legs and ran out so they wouldn't find out think I'm some kind of perv.I

I thought if was, "If you can't beat them, let them beat you." Nothing like a good Friday night spanking.

I wouldn’t want to have to sniff the other therapy dogs butts.

That was another oddity they noted. But it was nice to be able to poop and pee on the floor. At home I get scolded for that. Same for lifting a let and letting one rip.
