~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

That's too bad about your knee Ginger, I thought by now it would have been better.

Good luck with selling the kayaks Jude, I wouldn't think it would be hard to sell them given how popular they've become.

I waited almost a year as well Mulburry to get in to see the ENT, not sure if it's because there aren't enough of them or they are just so busy.

It's the same situation here with Dr's dill, none of them are taking on new patients so I'll just keep traveling back to Mannville to see my regular Dr.

Waves to the rest of the crew, have a great day everyone!

[Ginger999]

Good luck when you get to see the ENT, Mul. Hopefully, they will be able to get to the bottom of this.

I hope we all have an easy day! I'll take another day of freedom

I hope you can find a way to heal the chronic sinusitis, Mul. That sounds miserable.

I agree that I think there should be an unspoken agreement that Sundays are left free (from children’s sports) for rest and for families to gather.
But the world of kids sports is too lucrative (all the traveling for special teams and those weekend-long tournaments etc.) for Sundays to be left alone.

I had hoped that your knee had healed as well, Ginger. Didn’t realize that you struggle with your knees too, Jude.

I am doing a six-week more intensive acupuncture thing to help my brain adjust to weaning off the antidepressants.

Wishing all a great AF day!

Hi Cafe Friends!

Just wanted to drop in to say I have made it 6 years AF as of Feb 26th. It hasn’t always been easy but it is so worthwhile!

Thanks for being a big part of this journey!!

Stay safe and of course AF.

QW

Huge congratulations to you, QW! Glad to have been on this voyage with the likes of you and very glad to hear you are doing so well!! You've been a great inspiration to us all. Don't be a stranger.

Rava, thanks for the follow up on the taco shell experience. Glad it worked out so well for you. I will definitely look at some youtubes about it but not sure I'll try it. I am just not particularly keen on deep frying at home. It makes me feel tense and as we all know, that's not a good thing at the witching hour.

Cowboy, I hope your doc is young enough that he doesn't plan to retire anytime soon. When Mr. D's primary care doc retired he had a terrible time trying to find a new doc. I finally asked mine and she took him on since he was family. But she too is not taking new patients as a general rule.

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

[Jude58]

Huge congrats on six years QW! I've always admired the fact that you stayed sober despite the many obstacles that you and your wife have faced over time. Stop in more often please...

Who wants to join me in another 24 hours of freedom?

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Howdy to QW and a huge congrats on 6 years!!! Come back every now and then and let us know how you are doing. I hope Mrs. QW is doing well. Dill I made the tacos once in the oven and they were dry and terrible. Now that we are old and retired we do our main meal at lunch time. So I deep friend at 11:30 am. No witching hour for me at that time. I have been a bit on edge for the last few weeks waiting for my daughter’s breast biopsy. Thank goodness it was benign. I feel a huge relief and also glad I didn't drink over this. Mul good luck with your ENT appointment. Up north it takes about a year to see a dermatologist. Here is Florida there is one on every corner. Well I hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

QW, congrats on 6 yrs! That's so awesome. Check in as often as you can. You are missed!

Hi to all my buds! I'll take another day!

[abcowboy]

5:19am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

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

[abcowboy]

Great to see you again Quit wining, and huge congrats on your 6 years!

That's great news about your daughter's biopsy Rava, I'll bet you'll both rest easier now.

My doc is getting up there in years as well dill, that's why I started looking for other options.

Today I'm driving the male half of the Syrian couple to Red Deer (about 3 hours one way) for a medical test he needs done. Not sure why they referred him to a specialist so far away but that's how hard it is to get appointments here. He did get his driver's license but the car they have is older and high mileage so not sure if it can be trusted for the trip.

[Slo]

So enjoyed up warmup in the weather here, up to 50 F (10C) degrees here yesterday! I’m so cold in this condo otherwise.

So kind of you, Cowboy, and I hope it’s a smooth & pretty drive today.

I made an appointment with an eye doctor, but it’s a year wait before I can get in to see him; and I still have to jump through the hoops of getting permission to see him from my primary doctor, and making sure he’s even in-network with my current insurance provider.

Last day of work today, Jude!

So good to hear from you, QW! We quit, or more accurately had our quits stick, at about the same time.

That’s scary about your daughter, Rava, and what a relief. My 3rd daughter turns 32 today, so that’s three daughters who are getting up in age, therefore getting more vulnerable to health concerns / no longer have the bloom of healthy youth to protect them.

Wishing all of us a fine AF day!

[Jude58]

Rava, great news about your daughter's biopsy! It must have been so stressful for both of you, but glad that everything is O.K..

That's so kind of you to drive your friend to his appointment Cowboy. It's good to know that there are still decent people in this world.

First day of retirement. What to do, what to do... I know what I won't be doing, so 24 more please.

[abcowboy]

4:48am in Alberta, 24 more please, and thanks...

I'm sure you're going to find many things to fill your days Jude, enjoy your retirement!

That's a long wait to see your eye doctor Slo, I'm presuming it's not just an optometrist?

The trip and Hayyan's procedure went well, it was a pleasant drive and a good chance to learn what it's like to live in a war torn country.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. So glad all went well with your friend Cowboy. You are so nice to take that family under your wing while they get established. Jude I hope you do nothing today. Just hang around and get your bearings of your good life away from the grind of a job. Slo, all this insurance stuff is awful. My good friend went to the ER last week for an urgent problem. The ER hospital was in her network but she ended up getting a 700.00 bill from the ER. She called to inquire why and it was because the treating ER Doc was not in network. Well how in the hell is the patient supposed to know that??? She is currently disputing this. It’s enough to make you drink….. OK today our neighborhood is having a corn hole competition. Mr R and I are participating. I doubt we will make it to the championship. LOL. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.
