Why are we associating with our colonizers. I bet she likes UM.

TBH, I don’t care about the royals. I want to meet Kate’s sister.

Have you seen Kate play field hockey in heels?  I like Kate and would willingly submit to her.

And DWags, get better soon.  Sorry for my comment about Bactine and Curad.  You're into the chlorhexadine and Ace territory.  Don't have any pain advice.  Listen to a lot of Carly Simon I guess.

Well, it looks like Benedict Arnold is alive and well and posting on tSwill.

Told me I’m off of it for at least 6 maybe 8 weeks. Two plates bunch of screws an it sucks.  

I’m in and out of sleep and the block is wearing off today, but I’m going to do my best not to take the OxyContin.  Not interested.

I’ll be clear headed by tonight. But damn this sucks.

Like others have said, and you probably figured out by now, the day after surgery is not one to tough out, all the general wears off and shit HURTS. Take the Oxy for a couple of days, just don't be doing shots of tequila with it....

Nope, shots of 150 proof rum are a better idea

As graceful as ever, I see.

So many unanswered questions.

Even more so...Other night I jumped in the giant toter trashcan to jamb it down so the lid would close, suddenly my foot sunk way down, threw my balance off.
As the whole can(with me)was tipping over, I thought about Dwags.....
Luckily only a slightly banged up knee.

So, I was going to keep this to myself but last Saturday I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and tripped over an ottoman in my living room. I nearly did a header into the 60" flat screen but at the last second I dropped down and jammed both knees into the floor. Fortunately, they were just a little bruised for a couple of days. Who says getting old isn't exciting?

It’s a blood sport, for sure. Glad you’re feeling better.

& TVs are so cheap these days... 75" 4k at walmart for less then $500.

huh. getting me ideas, sorry huny i just fell into (the old and tired) TV cause of my old lameness.....

how'd a 75" look in this room.

tGreenWay wrote:btw, I didn’t realize prices had dropped. My tv is apparently on the old-side of its life. It takes longer to turn on and when I switch channels there are red and blue ghosts of the people on screen for a moment. My entire set up is over five years old, which in previous decades would mean it’s just getting going but now means it’s aging out.

Thanks for answers. A few follow-ups...

Double or single stack? Did you have wood in your hands? Two legged standing jump or running Jordan-free-throw-line-dunk jump? Do you have nest cam video? Slippers, sneakers or crocks?

Sounds like twife owes you

Have an old 57" plasma. Heavy as shit and awkward to carry. I wanted to give it away/pitch it when we moved. Wife vetoed me. Carried that stupid thing up and down multiple flights of stairs. Saw Costco had 75" for ~$500 as AMJ noted. I shouda baseball batted it.

That’s pretty great, despite the garbage on the screen in the first photo.
