~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dr's appt went well dill, mostly a minor check-up to get my prescriptions refilled.

Have fun today Jude, I'm sure you and everyone else will be safe lol.

Hopefully it's not shingles Ginger, I hear they are no fun to have. I've thought of getting the vaccine shot for them but of course I keep putting it off.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, I hope if it is shingles that you have a mild case. That crap is no fun!!! Jude, enjoy your class this morning. Dill, if we could all have 1 or 2 glasses of wine we would not be here! That is our common problem. Glad you are feeling better today. Hope everyone has a great and sober Saturday. 24 more please.

[Ginger999]

Jude, you can ride a horse, that motorcycle should be a piece of cake! Enjoy the class.

Dill, glad you're feeling better. Such a nasty legal drug. None of us here would do heroine but yet we've all drank alcohol. It's just as much poison as heroine only legal. Ugh. I wish it would have never been invented! I think Allen Carr's book is helping me put that back in perspective. At the end of the book they provide a link to a hypnosis episode. I've been listening to it as I fall asleep. Anything I can do to make this my final quite, I'll try it! I'm sick of slips.

Well, it's definitely shingles. I went to urgent care and dr confirmed it and gave me antiviral. She did say that all my other odd symptoms are more than likely from the virus working it's way to the surface. It's ugly! I was vaccinated but you can definitely still get it. It's usually a much lighter case though so I'd definitely recommend your getting it, ABC. As I always say.... this getting old ain't for sissies.

I'm in for another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Geez Ginger, so sorry to hear that you have shingles. I've had it before and it's no fun!

Dill, glad that you are feeling better about your slip. These things happen and it's always best to move forward, and not dwell on the past. I'm like you in that I don't like large crowds of people, and can get quite anxious in those situations. I always used booze to make things easier in social situations. I also need a lot of alone time.

Well, sad to say that I didn't pass my motorcycle safety course. As a matter of fact, I dumped my bike within the first hour of class. Talk about embarrassing! There were 11 other people in the class, most of them men in their 20's. There was a lot of maneuvering through a course of turns and I just couldn't get the hang of it, and at one point I almost ran over one of the instructors. Not good. We practiced in a large parking lot in 90

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Jude, I am sorry that you had a hard time at your class. Will you be retaking it or just settle for being a passenger while Mr. J drives? I would be scared to death to even try the class. I give you a lot of credit!! Ginger, hope your shingles passes quickly! Wishing everyone a sober and safe day. 24 more please and thank you.

5:17am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

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

[abcowboy]

Postimage is having problems today so maybe it'll have to be a Monday morning breakfast lol

Sorry to hear about the bike mishap Jude, I'm sure you'll do better the next time you take it. Is the course a requirement to get you motorcycle drivers license?

Hoping you get over the shingles quickly Ginger and you just have a mild case.

Bubba and I went to see Twisters last night, you were right Rava, some intense scenes for sure! It was well worth the price of admission.

[Ginger999]

Oh Jude, I'm sorry about the class. Next time you'll know what you're in for. Too bad they don't offer a senior class. I'd be completely intimidated in a class of 20 something men. Ugh!

Well, if this is a light case of shingles, I'd hate to have a normal case! Covid is running rampant around here. ER was packed yesterday when my niece worked. Hope I can stay clear of that! It's all I'd need. Lol

May we all have an easy day. I'll take another!

[dill]

Jude, that sounds like a situation that would have put me over the top anxiety-wise! Maybe you would actually do better to try again with your husband as instructor? I don't know. But I don't think you should give up on the idea of learning to ride based on the experience you had the other day. Maybe call the instructor back and ask if there are any classes offered more suitable to seniors. As fragile as I feel right now in the wake of my recent slip, I would have been extremely challenged to get home from there empty-handed I'm afraid. It's amazing how a slip can set you back...

Ginger, I hope you get over the shingles soon! It sounds awful. I'm so glad you found someone who could treat you! I have had the shingles vax but I had been told by my doctor that it is still possible to get it as Jude said, just milder.

24 more hours, please and thank you.

[Jude58]

Thanks all for your comforting words. In the future, I may have Mr. J try to teach me, but right now I am totally intimidated about attempting to ride again. My self- confidence is really in a shambles now, so for the time being I'll settle for riding, not driving. After the class I was so upset that I nearly stopped and got a bottle of wine but I knew that it would only make me feel worse the next day.

Ginger, I hope that the shingles gets better sooner rather than later. I know how painful it can be.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Granddaughter turns 13 today! We'll be celebrating with cake and ice cream later today.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

4:45am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...

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

[abcowboy]

How about Sunday breakfast on a Monday morning!

[abcowboy]

Enjoy the cake and ice cream with your gdaughter dill!

Not a bad idea to get some lessons and driving experience from Mr J Jude, then re-take the course when you feel more comfortable.

[Rava]

Good morning. Jude, hopefully after some lessons from Mr. J. Your confidence level will improve. I give you so much credit as I would not even take the class to begin with! Also proud that you did not drink. That in itself is positive. Dill hope you enjoy your grand daughter’s birthday. Ginger, get well soon and do NOT get covid. Shingles is no joke. Thinking of you. Cowboy, thanks for the wonderful breakfast yesterday. I reheated mine this morning! Glad you liked Twisters. Hope everyone has a great and sober Monday.
