Jude58 dill Peachie Ginger999

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[dill]

Jude, that's good that your doc found that contraindication and has decided to send you to a specialist. I think I like your doctor very much! Hope the infection specialist gets you taken care of and on the mend without the gut upset.

Ginger, my friend has lived in Ohio all her life. It was just her son and his family that relocated back to Ohio to care for her. I don't know what will happen when they return to Oregon, but I am sure she will be somewhere safe and taken care of. Her son is trying his best to get her to downsize...She lives alone in a big house and it's been too much for her for some time now. She loves her home and is loathe to leave it, so he has his work cut out! She's of Scottish descent and stubborn as all get out!

Peachie, Cowboy and Rava, waves to you!

Let's all have another day of freedom!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Jude, I did not know you were not feeling good under the antibiotic. I hope the infectious disease doc gets it all sorted out. I am sorry you are going thru all of this. We are getting ready on Sunday for the drive. I am looking forward to being north but just not the drive. Most off the snowbirds have left our community so its kind of quiet here. A few of us left over people are meeting at the pool at 5 pm to share some snacks. My closest neighbors and friends left last night and they drive 18 hours straight. I begged them to stop and sleep but they are stubborn and will drive the entire way. We will probably drive 10-12 hours the first day and then finish on the next day. It’s definintely a trip from hell. My neighbors feel that leaving and driving all night is safer. For me it’s harder to see. I dont know. Lots of nuts out after midnight. I hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

It's a good thing your Dr caught that Jude, hopefully it didn't mess up your other meds. I'm surprised your pharmacist didn't catch that, mine is always on the watch for conflicting medications. I've never thought I had an accent lol, but yes, I'll do some talking for sure.

It sounds like you're still in Arizona Ginger lol, having to restrict your outside activities to the morning to escape the heat.

That would be a pretty hot day for me Peachie, but if I remember correctly, you get much hotter than that during your summer. Hopefully Zorro stays away for good now. We have a "cat on leash" bylaw here in our town, but no one adheres to it, just with their dogs.

That was nice of your friend's family to move close to her dill, do you know how long it will be for? Hope you had a good visit with her.

How's the packing going Rava, your leave day is coming up pretty soon.

It looks like we had our last below freezing night last night, supposed to warm up and stay that way now. I'm headed out to open the camper up either today or tomorrow so that it's ready and stocked up for the seeding season. Day one of seeding is fast approaching!

Not today...

[Peachie]

Evening all. Soapie just finished so here I am.

Jude our winters are very mild compared to some over in the USA and Canada. We do have a few mountain ranges that get snow but certainly not here in Perth. It is far colder on our Eastern border. It is pretty much a temperate climate here but boy the summers are getting hotter, that's for sure. We have a massive desert between East and West. It certainly is a treat to drive it tho. It's called the Nullabor. In indigenous language that means no trees. Geez I hope your appt goes well today. Contraindications should be an automatic check list. Hope your new medication doesn't cause the same side effects..How does your finger feel?

Cowboy I'm with everyone else re taking part in your seeding operation...love the accent too. Can't wait!

Rava another season comes to an end for you. In Australia we call the people who flee winters, Grey Nomads. There is a constant stream of caravans heading north every year. Our long distance truckies complain about it every year too. Lol

Dill, I feel for your friend not wanting to move from her home. I love the place I live in but very often I miss the home I raised my family in. Ben did too.

Update on Zorro, you all must be getting sick of him, I am. I squirted him with water today and then watched where he went. He turned into a red house down the road. Sooo Im pretty sure I know where he lives now. Tomorrow I will go knock on their door. I know how hard it is to keep cats inside that are not used to it. Goodness, what a dilemma. Guess I'll just keep squirting. Poor Rosie hasn't come out of her favourite spot in the bedroom since she saw him in the garden. This is turning into a bloody Podcast.

Night
Xxx

The continuing saga of Zorro, the neighborhood pest. Peachie, that's a catchy title for a podcast. You might be on to something! I'm sending good vibes that the neighbors are understanding when you approach them.

ABC, I agree! You have an accent and I love to hear you talk.

Jude, I'm sorry you're still going through the finger infection. Hopefully, the new doctor can find a better antibiotic for your tummy and meds. Years ago, I had MRSA and spent three days in hospital on intravenous Vancomycin. That knocked it out! Hopefully, nothing that drastic is needed for you but if it is recommended, you best do it.

Dill, thanks for explaining your friends situation. It's hard enough for some people to leave their family home but even harder to leave your home state. I'm sure they'll find a great place for her, if they can talk her into it!

Rava, a straight through drive? No way! Those days are long behind us. When we used to do that, it seemed like we were sick a few days once we got home. It's too much for us oldies! I know people still do it but it sure doesn't seem safe.

Hey Mul, hope all is well and your spending Mother's Day with your Mom!

I'll join you all for another day of freedom!
