Btw, what is a "hammer?"
;)

Something to do with ham radio? A person who does that for a hobby?
Or , with cooking dinner for someone who eats ham?
(A person who cooks or eats it?)

By the way...update on the Billy Bookcase custom building project...hub strained his back so I'm making him take a few days off. He's good to go today so tomorrow will give him the "hammer" back if he's a good boy and is careful...lol.

Funny how you always want to hurry to get something done and forget to "take it easy", isn't it. Just reminded myself of that as I was unearthing a nice brick patio that had been hiding underneath a layer of grass. Worked hard on laying that brick many years ago...being extra careful so as not to incur any "instant karma" from lecturing hub - hey, I'd probably never hear the end of it!

:ROFLMAO: Yes, that looks like a handy item for the big jobs.

Though it requires exhausting levels of physical and mental exercise, to locate and utilize a connection.:sneaky:

Perhaps, you could justify an upgrade to something digital and wireless.
And thereby would not appear too stubborn and stuck in the dark ages.

I agree, most of us never learned how to perform manual labor for 8-10 hours a day every day like previous generations.

I've seen many people and am also guilty of attacking a job and wearing myself out instead of taking my time and letting the tools do the job.

I think that I would be tempted to sprinkle some rock salt or calcium chloride on that brick patio then sit back with a cool drink and watch the grass die.
 
My day has been aggravating. It was my day off and the "young" man who was working in my place always has some excuse to not show up for work. Knowing this, I turned off all forms of communication so they couldn't call me in. I peeked at my facebook page and he's messaged me a gazillion times wanting me to work because he's too heartbroken to make it in because he broke up with his fiancé blah blah blah. Supervisor had messaged me asking if I could come in and I lied and said I had a drs appt. Is that wrong? Maybe. But, I have a life, too. And I'm very disgusted with Windows 10 and this whole Microsoft Edge crap. I got locked out of my acct and I don't have texting on my phone so I can't get a verification code and it's just a mess. Tech support is pretty much useless.
 
That does sound like an aggravating day you've had, Marci, and it was supposed to be a "day off" for you.
Don't toss your laptop into the street though.
Without it, you lose us too! Oh no! :ROFLMAO:

Today I noticed that my kitty is showing signs of aging. I gave her some extra TLC.
 
well today got ready early to get some shopping done as in cats foods -- then my OH said iam constipated -so what said '

its nothing new with you -we cant go out yet === so 2hours later everything is fine 'picked up some pharmacy things -and needed to get to another shop ' but dearest grrrrrr said jump in the car gotta get back to the loo ))))))))):(


so only did half that I wanted -men there like little kids -everything stops for them lol
 
Yesterday I was in hospital all day for yet another procedure.. all went well, (y) although there's more to be done in the future..but for now, I'm absolutely worn out, really sore, and just verrrry tired... so just sitting at my desktop computer for a bit of R&R...

Hubs had pre-arranged some electrical contractors to come today and remove and fit new gas meters in our house... so they're going to be here shortly ( honestly the last thing I need).. and the utilities will be shut off,...so I'm going to take my ipad or laptop back to bed when they get here in a few minutes, and leave hubs to keep an eye on them..., and just rest up there or go back to sleep...
 
Today I could only go out for 1 walk,which was early this morning around 6am wasn't really windy I was planning to go out for a short walk around 10am,but the winds picked up
Instead,I walked up/down stairs twice,last time walking up from the basement after getting my mail.My apt is on 3rd floor,reading my book

An exciting day coming up for me.....half price at the thrift store :D but and there's always a but....this particular store is so high priced that half price is normal price of the other places in town. But again, you never know if you might find that thin a ma jig you didn't know you needed.

Hello Kids... Well do you want the short version or the long, or should I just ramble on and see where we get to... Well Ii think it was about a week and half to two weeks ago... Not sure when my last day was here, and maybe it was just a week... I am not sure... But as YOU all know couple of years ago I broke my leg really badly.. and ended up with 2 rods, and 16 screws to hold it back together, but lost all feeling in my foot from having seven surgery on my leg because of infections... and not a lot of feeling in that leg either...

So, I'm usually very careful with it, now that I walk with a limp. and specially very careful on ice, and stairs and that kind of stuff... Well the Brother -in - law had asked me before Christmas if I would help and carry down a fridge from the garage to the basement, and said sure once everyone is over the scabies.

So what I think was a week, or week and a half, or 2 weeks ago... can't remember I went over to help carry the fridge down the stairs, I said I have to take the bottom that it would be easier on the leg... Now I don't know if you Ladies and Fellows are starting to see where this is going... But anyhow... We got it in the house without any hardship... So I went down a few steps, he leaned the fridge back, I pulled the bottom out, and down the stairs we are going... and yup... missed a &*$@ing step with my bad foot, and down went me, and the fridge...

So, about 20 minutes later, we got the fridge off me, and me back on my feet... my leg hurt a bit where I have always had feeling.... so I insisted we continued, he didn't want to, I said, well we can't leave it here, so finally we got it where it was. They kept asking me if I was ok.. I said yes, I am fine.. I didn't want them to worry about it... So got home after awhile... took off my shoe, and it was a magic show... Poof, twice the size and could not get my shoe back on... So Lorie is all concerned about my leg, I kept saying it was fine, and that I was fine... But everyone was worried, cuz I did not have a lot of feeling in leg or foot to start with... So I had a few shot of Forty Creek... got in the passenger seat in the truck... off to the hospital... Got a few speeches from friends that work at the hospital... Xrays done... Had a bit of a sprain on foot, and to stay off it... So, friends, that is where I have been...One thing I learned throughout of all this... My leg that I broke is super strong now, but I don't need to go around and test it as I did... and to leave those kind of chores for the younger crowd...

So it's good to be back again... Can't sit long in this position... But had to tell you all I was fine... Hope YOU all have a GREAT weekend... and God Bless YOU all...
Mike

P.S Even throughh all that, and dying of boredom the last few days... Still NOT smoking!!!!
