Just bought my youngest great grandson a reflective telescope for his 8th birthday. The thing tracks by maps, takes pictures…
I get an email every day with a half dozen photo’s. He’ll fix in on a star, find another tiny dot that was unseen before, aim on that, replace the magnification and see further. Said it actually freaked him out, The scene of depth he said.
This from his mom on facebook:
Noah’s words of “wisdom” for today…
“If there was a car that couldn’t stop moving… and there was a person who couldn’t move, holding a sword against an unbreakable tree… it would break the reality of time…
Two things that made me happy this year. Second best. I can’t find 50 pounds. I had it new years day, but I haven’t seen it since. Granted it’s a 1900 sq foot house, but we use only 3 of 4 bedrooms. I’ve searched the garage, the car, the porch, the patio… How does one lose something so heavy?!
MUCH better yet! For more than 2 years, I’ve had this pain in my left hip. Started out as a minor inconvenience. Then it got to the point where I had to do a “little at a time” cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms and what not. I mean, that’s cool, I hate toilets, but house cleaners are $30 an hour. 3 hours a week.
Axed my GP, he said the pain is in the exact location of the bursitis location. Shot of steroid, nothing. Still limping. Sent me to an Orthopedic Surgeon, who did an X-ray of my hip. I mean, I’m up for a replacement.
Says I have the hips of a 20 year old. Does an MRI of my lower back. Bingo! A half dozen slipped disks, crushed vertebrae, pinched nerves… Asks me what my pain level is on a scale of 1 to 10. HATE that question! Never been hit in the ass with a .357! I’m going with a seven?
On his very last day, I was his last patient before retirement. Referred me to a neurosurgeon. He referred me to a man that injected some magic potion into some nerve cluster off of lumbar 5. Whatever, 24 hours later I’m thinking that pain scale is hitting 1.85.25356!
Course the bad new is, I’ll have to can the house cleaner and do the shit myself again.
I’m happy to have lost the weight, but stoked with this pain free hip! Only bad thing is, now I can do some house keeping:(
I might be outta sight for a couple years. Just realized. Now that I can stand for more than 5 minutes (Actually all frigging day) I can go back to making model wooden ships!
My Gov. here in FL, put a stop to this lunacy, recently. Complete with monitoring of airports/airplanes, and mandatory fines and prison terms.
Some are saying this(bioengineering) is a conspiracy theory, but I’ve seen Con-Trails left behind passenger jets in the skies over my home, that spread, and thin out literally for hours! Not that many years ago(before this practice began), these exhaust trails dissipated within minutes!
Photo taken by me, in my neighborhood. These 3 trails were NOT left by 3 planes flying by at the same time!
The pace at which that river became inundated, in the dark of night no less, is what nightmares are made of. Thank God for good people with big hearts.
When by older brother got married, my mother gave him her grand mothers wedding ring to give to his wife.
He passed at the age of 36. (My mother, true to form, told his wife to give her the ring back.)
Couple weeks ago, her daughter called and asked my wife, Mary if she wanted the ring. Our eldest great grand daughter is getting married this fall.
If that band is 1/32" in diameter, I’d be shocked. This thing has been around since the mid 1800’s. Of course we’re getting it fixed. Wife asked for an appraisal. We’ll never tell the kid, but I bet it’s a lot. And it’s a BEAUTIFUL ring!
You know where that’s going.
Ooh, ooh, and this gave me great pleasure today. I grabbed a treat and the dog followed me out out side. Through in it into the yard, he snatched it up, and came back for more.
Being the VERY good man I am, I reached into my pocket and pretended to throw another. Dumb-ass looked for it for an hour.
