Good morning Mrs.M I'll be outside this morning taking the straw mulch off of my iris beds YIPPPPEEEEEE We are supposed to be in the 60's all week. BUT....tomorrow I have to take my son to the airport to head back to Iraq. bummer.
MG,Really nice article...see, Mom, he has been doing something besides running with his friends! He just must be a great kid...well, man now. I know everyone will pray for his safe and quick return.
Yes I lost 4 as did not eat before the weigh -in. So was able to start my testing. It was a very stress filled day - the Van Driver lost the Gas card so had to advance money to get us home. So he was grumpy. The nurse was grumpy. Then I got home and my furnace died (the fuel pump died) I only had it 11 years they are suppose to run for 30 yrs. ( they just don't make them like they used to) so I know when to quite - I turned on the electric blanket and slept 11 hours so you know how tired I was. Today I hired a friend to fix the furnace and I made a couple trays of Lasagna and French Bread. Now I'm done for the day. It's cool about 40 but the furnace will be running by dinner. Sorry I couldn't answer sooner I was stuck in the kitchen for 4 hours. mory
Glad you were able to do your MRI. Hope it isn't anything serious, Mory! Furnaces may last 30 years, if it has a lined chamber, Mory, but pumps and switches are a different ball of wax! they can go out in one, two, five, hard to say how many years.
I won't get the MRI until April - they wouldn't even give me a date until I was under the machine weight. But I did get the procto (3 hrs) with the Fiber camera so now I have a CD of my intestine to take to another DR to have read. Everybody is going to get in on the act. The testing is about 16M I only will have to pay $320 of it - but now have met my deductibles for the year.
Armond finished the furnace and he is on the way home with his dinner and cash for gas. He won't let me pay him as I gave him my Datsun P/u and old back/hoe. He also has my new car dolly and is waiting to see if I say he can have it. He has worked 50 years cutting & splitting wood. Has the highest mechanical aptitude of anyone I ever met. So instead of messing things up I just call him. I'll go on line later and have a couple new pipes sent to him. I have never seen him without a pipe. Accomplishment Is 90% Getting Started
I think the ability to repair things like that is a born with art. No amount of schools can hone those skills if you don't have the God given talent for it. I have met many, many, men that went through schools and schools that my husband would not have given them time sweeping our store floors!
Either you got it, or you don't! I always cringe when I see employment ads where they require degrees. Why not just give the applicant a small 'real world' test and see how they do? 'Knowing' and 'doing' are totally different things. I'm one of those people that could go to school forever and would still find it difficult to apply my education to tangible problems. Show me how to do it once or twice however, and I'm usually able to work my way backwards to the underlying reasons why I'm doing what I'm doing.
