~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

My sister had both knees replaced a few years ago and she has never regretted it. My Dad's knees were terrible, but he never had the much needed surgery. The last few years of his life were spent in agony with limited mobility. His quality of life would have been so much better if he'd had the surgery.

The Fall colors are spectacular this year and driving home yesterday was a real pleasure. I took some pics and will try to post some later.

24 more please and thank you!

I would dread a joint replacement surgery, as does Mr. D. But I dread even more the loss of mobility. I think quite often, with gratitude, that I feel blessed to have my mobility. Would love to see your fall colors if you have the time to post, Jude.

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

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

Up a bit earlier today as I have to meet the wholesaler in Mannville this morning at 7:45 to get the rest of the electrical material needed to wire in the new bins.

I also would love to see pics of everyone's fall colors!

Good morning Cafe. Mul, i am so glad that your place and your moms made out well with the rain. Mother Nature can sure play havoc on everything. All this talk of knee replacement makes me feel lucky that KNOCK ON WOOD, my knees are working so far. Off to the gym this morning. Wishing everyone a peaceful day. 24 more hours of sobriety please.

[Ginger999]

Busy day! I'll take another day of freedom!

[Mulburry]

Wow, Mul! That's a lot of ran. I didn't even hear about it on the news. We are close enough you'd think they'd mention it. Seems news worthy to me.

I can't remember where you're located, but if it's Alberta it should have been on the news, it actually made the top story of The National one day. If you're in the US though, then I could see it easily slipping through, as there is so much (weather related and otherwise) other news going on down there.

I'll also echo being glad to have the full use of my joints and limbs. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my mobility, that would not be a pleasant prospect to think about. My dad did have to get a hip replacement in his 60's, and I do notice a touch of joint pain here and there, so it's probably something I'll have to deal with eventually, but best not to think too far into the future. Not today.

[Jude58]

Another 24 please...

[dill]

Mul, I have heard from several sources that hip replacement is much easier than knee, so IF you have to have that done in the distant future, it shouldn't be too, too bad.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go.... Today is volunteer day.

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

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Beautiful day ahead. Going to dinner with some neighbors tonight. No drinking for me today. 24 more please and thank you!

And I'm pretty sure you won't be drinking tonight either Rava, enjoy your supper out with your friends.

You gave me a chuckle this morning dill as I remembered another version to that saying "I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go" lol

[Ginger999]

Mul, I thought you were in British Columbia? I'm in WA state.

I need to get to work on wrap up around here. Problem is, a lot of it has to be done last minute.

I'll gladly take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! Not much happening around here today. I've been putting off weeding out my closets and donating some clothes to the Salvation Army, but today I may tackle the project.

Hope that everyone has a great and booze free day. 24 more please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, I hear you. Lots of things cant be done ahead of time in preparing to close up for the winter. We are going away for the weekend to see our grandkids that live a few hours away. Coming home on Monday. Plan on having a great weekend. Heading back to Florida on Wednesday. Hi to everyone and Happy Friday. 24 more please and thank you.
