Other Post So, how was your day?

We live out in the country, er mountains ourselves. One day we decided to have a late breakfast but some fools whom were camping the night before, had dragged out a dead stump to use as firewood but left it's remains in the road. So I hopped out to drag it back to the wood line and from nowhere, I suddenly heard this loudest meowing from this tiniest ball of fur ever that had been trying to swoosh my feet and wanting to climb up me. Wife said to take it to the vet so that's what we did. No chip, nothing and it was very dehydrated and malnourished.

Wife decided that she wants it, vet says we should name her and asks if we've got ant ideas. The entire ride down to the vet she stayed attached to my lap and still the loudest meowing same as earlier, so I jokingly called her Meows-Right-Now. Wife decided when we got home to call her Ziggy due to the craziness patterns of her zoomies.

That night we discovered that cats also purr when going to sleep if they're very happy. She crawled into my arm while sleeping on my side and purred very loud. So loud that it woke us both up. She still does it with us both and also the dog, and belly up too. We think she's happy to to have been saved and loved by everyone.

Sorry to hear what happened to those cats you were looking after. My wife grew up in those conditions similar to what you had described. When I met her maternal grandparents in Wisconsin, there was an outhouse near their lake that was thankfully no longer being used. The handpump is still there and still being used but it's outside. Dirt road and no electricity but at least they had a telephone line, and on well water with a sewer. Wood stoves in the bedrooms and in the both the kitchen for cooking and dining room slash living room.

Came down with Covid on Friday (2nd time). The last 2 days have passed in a haze really, its been like a heavy flu, chest congestion, dry hacking cough, terrible joint pain in the knees and lower back, nose running like a tap and nothing helps to stop it. Tried everything including a few of my beloved wifes home style Filipino remedies without success.
Today is a little better, still quite ill but can see a little improvement.
I'm just thankful I got through ANZAC day on the Thursday without any symptoms.
I attended my local dawn service on Thursday morning and saw a great turnout of around 5,000 people.
Travelled up to Perth city afterwards to march through downtown with my last ship association (HMAS Darwin). Very emotional to walk through a crowd of 000s and hear so many calling out to us as we old buggers stumbled down the main street. A short walk afterwards to a nice Irish pub we go to where the debrief was conducted and the usual tall tales became taller 😀

A couple more days and I reckon I'll be back to my normal cynical bastard self 🤣😂🤣😂
 
Get better! You had a full day regardless of the ‘vid.

I know for sure I’ve had it once, but think I’m one of the early victims too from the early Seattle breakout. I tell people I’ve had it twice, if they ask how many times.

Get better. I had a very mild case of covid right in summer 2022 when covid was already passé. The whole thing isn’t even talked about anymore, though we remember all the mess it was.
 
On Dunning-Kruger-Book, someone called it war crime to electrify our border walls. So I asked them to show it to me where it is. Then was called a xenophobe. So I asked if that was all she had, a personal attack after being asked to prove her false equivalency? More personal attacks. I said if that's all you have there, then you are doing so from an actual position of none and reacting from invalid feelings. Then I was blocked, lol.

Location? New Jersey. My location? An actual border state where we see the lawlessness happening and how it affects us.

A speedy recovery to ya. I haven't had any shots and still pretty solid, but I don't mingle other than going shopping and then I don't talk to anyone. I like to think I had enough shots in my life to just about cover everything except old age.
 
Well, I just finished shutting down the entry for the cats into my bathroom. I have 5 kittens from three mothers and they all want to grab the kids and take them outside. It's rainy and tomorrow will be dry but it comes back a couple more days this week. I had 3 in one litter die and no idea why, one little dwarf black one was left in the bathtub and the other 3 were gone. I did not want to see that one little cat die so I brought him into the bedroom and put him in a big box. So with this rain that started this morning I went out early and found the other 3 outside which I had seen the day before when I came home from shopping. Still had one missing until late this afternoon and I went out and got that little fellow and now I have all 5. So as small as they are they can climb on anything and they kept crawling out of that big box so I got tired of that and closed the entrance exit in the bathroom and put the 5 down on the floor and they will be happy until they are old enough to go in and out like these others. I still have those 4 in the kitchen also and there are two Siamese and 2 Black n Whites like the Mother. They are still pretty small but already eating solid food and they will be ready to put in the bathroom so they can learn to go in and out. Hard to believe small kittens can wear you out but they did in short order. I got no sleep with that box in the bedroom. Now I am looking forward to sleeping tonight and then get up and go get some milk for all of them, they like that milk and also this soft canned food.

Lot's of police got killed today, it's a damned cesspool out there thanks to that squid in the white house. Got Palestinians trying to takeover the nation. The Governor of Texas said there will be no trouble makers allowed and he means it, the Texas Natl Guard will be all over those people if they mess around. They all need to be deported if they are here on visa and those stupid Americans doing the bidding for them should be jailed, fined and expelled from college. Our Youth are just disgusting, being duped by the people that would just a soon cut their heads off. In the news it is reported that those protestors are being paid 2000 dollars up to 8000 dollars to stir up this trouble, some are also saying it is Chinese financed. That is all for the 29th of Apr,

Basically our fundraising through the year has raised 80% of our needs however, we need a small kick to get us over the line for the next 12 months.
If you can spare the price of a coffee we will be set.

The knee injury/fracture saga continues, went to see a second surgeon after a first one last august just this Friday.

My only mistake is to have waited so long while hoping everything would be back to normal doing PT.

What I thought was a kneecap dislocation last summer was actually indeed a fracture which I’ve been keeping since.

On the upside, there’s a solution and second surgeon was baffled to see I wasn’t probably treated until now but I didn’t tell him I saw another before (it’s poor form to just go to the public hospital after an expensive clinic one).

I’ll therefore go to surgery which we haven’t defined yet for that knee, neither the operation or the date but my physical therapist assured me I was in good hands. Will let you guys know later how things pan out.

We call it liberal targeting, I often get warnings for posting the silliest reasons. It's like we're all being programed to be docile or else. I just tell them to kiss my ass and ban me what ever floats your boat but they never answer because it is AI and a word list they use. This is why so many liberals on the forums all over the web like to incite conservatives to say something so they can giggle if you get censored.
 
It was a sleep catch up day and I over slept the start of the Miami F1 start. I guess I didn't miss much because Red Bull lost the lead when the 2nd place car caught a yellow before it pitted giving him a one lap advantage. That is one of the weaker atrocities I hate about F1, he may have won the race but he didn't have to work for it.

Some very light showers earlier in the morning and still some clouds around but I think until tomorrow evening we will see some more rain. Got to put garbage out so that is probably the hour the rain starts. Think I will watch the rest of Aliens tonight. I have the first four movies saved but still need to find these last two or three that were really good movies. First time I watched the 1st release of Alien was 82 in Conroe Tx at an old run down country drive in. Probably a big subdivision sitting on that spot today
 
Two mornings in a row and 80 degrees at 5am........... that is awful !

I get up each morning and have a set feeding pattern much like a rancher does but with me it's all these cats. I feed the outside crew first out my bedroom window, then I feed the couple that like to eat in the bathroom, next I feed the 8 small kittens I had to get into one safe space due to having 4 die for no reason. Finally my 3 cats that belong to me eat last and one of them hates canned food and refuses to eat it so I wait until I have coffee and rest a bit then I go in and microwave a chicken paddy for him. One paddy is too much for one cat so the other two guys get an even portion of chicken. Today will be special for me because at lunch I am having Pizza, and I might just eat the whole thing.

Thank GOD for two air conditioners......

Tomorrow night a very bad system will slip thru and it could be pretty nasty depending just how far it comes down on it's Eastern path. It will hit late in the overnight so if I don't get blown away I might get some good sleep listening to the rain.
I'm conditioned from sitting half out of my ship and flying through Monsoon rains that cannot be described but has to be experienced to fully understand what rain is. There were times we left early morning to go out on a mission and it was already raining very hard but we would get out 10 to 20 miles and the rain was so hard we would have to fly back to base just hugging the ground because the clouds were on the ground. We get home and shut down and run inside our hootch with 6 to 8 inches of rain standing over the entire airfield except for the runway. Foot lockers floating around so you just take off your wet clothes and boots and lay on your bunk until the water receded. I've seen some hard rains over the years here but the clouds were not directly on the ground, in the Delta area of VN nothing is above water during rainy season. Most of us favored not having the doors on so we could get out if needed and fast. The crew chief and myself would slide over on top of the ammo trays to try and stay dry but we still got wet. It was a wild ride but a memory maker for sure

Coincidentally I also have a knee problem. I crashed with my son while skiing in January though I told him not to stay so close to me but he continued to shadow me until we crashed...

My left knee was bended badly and I even heard stuff breaking in it. Hurt like S**t but I skied down on one leg mostly to the middle station and thought about having a beer and waiting if it goes away. But it just got worse and I skipped the beer already thinking about having to have a surgery and better be sober later.

Well was a completely ripped crucial ligament a ripped of side ligament and bone concussion.

I finally got surgery in March and am now doing physiotherapy and lots of exercises I do on my own. I bought a Theraband and a cushion to train on instable surfaces.

Helps a lot. Can only recommend doing that.

It's a long way to recovery when having knee injuries.


So all the best and get well soon!
 
Good, productive day. Got a lot done today around the house and some car maintenance.
Most importantly I'm 5 and a half months sober for the first time in my adult life probably. Nice to be able to get up and function properly, not the delusional functioning alcoholic/addict.

Hello all. Been a while.
