The "Let it out" Thread

Thanks.

In other sad news, there's a wildfire in one of our favorite fishing areas, we were talking about going up there just before the fire started.

I am sorry for your loss
Wishing you strength to get through this

Our beloved friend Ginnie lost her battle with cancer yesterday morning

We'll be at Molly's for her memorial this Thursday, she was friends with a bunch of us musicians. It's jam night so we'll all have a chance to sing her back home.

[Yvonne]

Good to hear she is doing well.
She doesn't need another cast after removing this one??
I believe here you are about at least 6 weeks in a cast.
Nice that she is well enough to go back to work again

[Frantic Freddie]

She prefers Capt. Morgan & Lime Diet Coke, but thanks GrannyPeggy

She's fine now, we had a nice afternoon at the local saloon. She goes in Monday to have the cast & stitches removed, then she goes back to work (pharmacist) on Tuesday.

She says thanks y'all for the good wishes.

[GrannyPeggy]

I hope she heals quickly. Fix her a margarita and exit by backing out of the room while bowing to her and all will be well.

Thanks Yvonne, she'll be fine, even though she's a very grouchy lady today, I'm just dealing with it.

"Can I get you anything honey?"

"Yeah, your ass outta here"

[Yvonne]

Pfff, that really is some piece of metal.
I hope this will help her recover fast and heal well.
Crossing paws that everything goes well

[Frantic Freddie]

Here's the hunk of metal they put in her wrist. Between that & the screw in her foot she's turning into a Terminator

[Yvonne]

Ouch....that is so not good!!!
I hope everything will work out fine for her and that she is able to use her hand quickly again.
Good luck with the surgery and keep us posted

My daughter is a Southpaw too

[Kzin]

That is real bad....I'm so happy I'm able to use left or right. Hope she'll get well real soon and that the surgery will be swift and easy. Give her a hug from me...

Last night my wife went for a walk with our dog along the usual paths* & on the way back she tripped & as we found out today, basically made a maraca out of her left wrist

Did I mention that she's a southpaw?

She's scheduled for surgery Monday morning, they're going to put a plate in, it's supposed to give her better mobility (more details...bla bla bla,I'll know more later).

Hospitals are nothing new to her, I nicknamed her Sally years ago


*the "paths" are badly graded roads up a steep 200+ foot hill, they're washed out, full of rocks & loose dirt. You'd need a high-clearance 4WD to drive them. They're nice hikes though, there's wildlife & fossils

I am sorry for you loss

One of my favorite sayings is "The older you get, the more dead people you know".

Found out this morning that the guy I've known for 15-16 years passed away. For almost 40 years he had an appliance repair business, he'd fixed our stuff (I'm pretty handy, but appliances are black magic to me), he fixed my Mom's dryer (charming her out of her socks in the process) & when I was in property management I sent him as much business as I could. I saw him regularly at our local saloon, where he'd go to have a beer after work. The last time I saw him was about 2 weeks ago, we bantered as usual, I bought him a beer & he bought me one & he flirted with my wife as he always did.

I missed the service & most of the burial, but I did pay my respects, it's only 1.5 miles away.

RIP Don Smith.
