Good morning everyboomie.


I know It says Joe's Monday up there, but if anybody's interested I'd let it go for a song.....really.


You could edit the content to your liking. Just don't ask me to explain any of those history jokes, please.


We had a very warm (some would say hot), windy Sunday. Sun day was a real good name for it. Lot's of sun.


I took Missy parking, and then made a run to Walmart, and then somewhere in there, after it was already too hot, I went out and did some more tree trimming.


Need to finish that like asap. The city is having it's 'trash off' this week, and everything was supposed to be at the curb (like we have curbs ) by Saturday......ie... yesterday.


I don't like much more work having it done.


Have a great day everyone.


Oh yeah L4L we used to sit and listen to the old women on our block have a long-winded conversations on the party line. It really ticked me off when I wanted to call my friend, and they would not shut up.


Ana I can totally understand pushing off from the wall with your feet to get the mower going. I didn't have much weight at all to put behind the mower,and if the blades were not very sharp, and the grass was thick, it was pure hell to push it.


joe

watching court shows and soap opera

Great one liners Joe.

Joe, I was a lightweight and I don't think my dad ever sharpened the blades.

family, enjoy your shows!

SpaceQ, how'd you enjoy GoT?

Have a happy day all!

Space Quest Fan and a Super Monday to you...

P.S i got the CT-Scans and X-rays results...Head Ct-Scans okay but the left hip has a inflammed Bursa so i have to see if i can get it done at the Footscray Hospital near Mum which would be easier - if not i'll have to go to the Epping Hospital..which is longer for me...plus i'm thinking asking doctor next time for a Ear flush to maybe help with the ringing in my head....

Happy Gaming Boomers

Good Morning everyone. Joe loved the funnies. Family and SpaceQ have a great Monday. Ana how is your Monday looking? Soot I always have that Dark Roast ready for you. Taintedfury what is causing the inflammation in the Bursa? Is it fluid? Can they drain it? Hope you can have the procedure done at the hospital near your Mum. Coffee and tea are ready.

Wishing a Sunny Monday for everyone!

Good morning everyone, have a Super Monday. Working the kitchen for Bingo today. Danish, Eggs, Hash Browns, BB Pancakes, Bacon, and Biscuits in the NC.

Good morning Kaki's Sister - as far as i know they can't drain it but only insert a steroid injection to ease it......i believe it could be caused by my lower back which effects my hips when i walk and the bursa...thanks for asking i truly hope you have a wonderful Monday.

P.s when i go for the injection i'll be asking questions on it, plus hubby is looking up stuff on it.
****************************************************************************************************************************
He found this on the internet.....
Bursa or Bursitis……..An injury can irritate the tissue inside the bursa and cause inflammation. Doctors say that bursitis caused by an injury usually takes time to develop. The joints, tendons, or muscles that are near the bursa may have been overused. Most commonly, injury is caused by repetitive movements. (A Steroid Injection is Required into the Bursa Joint)

Hiya Connie take care and i hope you goes quick at bingo., enjoy your Monday.

G'day Looney keep cool and wonderful Monday to you as well.

Magnificent Monday ya'll

Doggies and I hit the park early (for me). We have to beat the heat for the dogs. Hubby has to be at work early this week so I'm on dog walking duty. I wish we could go later in the day, but the old lady can't take the heat.

Book cooking is on the books for the day followed by a little time in the yard with a book. Will be too hot this afternoon.

Have a great day ya'll
