    Jo, glad you're feeling better. Good luck with your yearly physical tomorrow. Haha....no....on the getting older! Luckily I had a massage today which helped, but I didn't want it to end. Fun having new flower beds. :) I've put a few pounds back on...my body is not cooperating, again. And I'm feeling really tired. Hopefully it will get back to normal soon.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi Vix
    Not a problem, I suspect we all do things like that I've been called worse things than that BTW :)

    I have a suspicion that the tired feeling could be tied to diet. That reminds me that I need to refill my 7 day pill thing I keep my Vitamins in. I eat take them at dinnertime which may be strange?

    Good Luck

    Good afternoon;
    Just checking in. I went to work today and am starting to feel a lot better.
    Tomorrow I go for my yearly physical at 8:10 and then I have the rest of the day to myself.
    I managed to lose a few lbs. while I was sick. I hope I can keep it off. I am not going to officially record it until it stays the same for a few days.
    Vix-I try not to spend too much time on the computer...sitting bothers my back and looking down at the computer bothers my neck. Don't you just love getting older? :p
    My landscaper come by today and created two new flower beds for me, now I just have to figure out what I want to plant there.
    Roger-That is always the way when you want to take a picture of an animal. By the time you get the camera ready, they have moved.
    Have a great afternoon and evening. :)
    Hi Joanne
    Is it a desktop computer, Tablet or Laptop? I have been using a HDTV for my computer monitor for 10 years now. I stated with the 32" 720P HDTV that was the heart of my my "So Called" Home Entertainment system. IE a DVR, Media Player, DVD recorder/player and a BluRay Player and a 5.1 later upgraded to 7.1 Sound system. Then for Christmas I gave myself a 42" 1080I HDTV. I like it as the computer monitor, I can roll the little re-purposed Printer table that holds the wireless Mouse & keyboard in front of my chair and sit back and the screen is at the right height. I have also heard of offices where they use workstations that You stand at.

    I suppose You could start the fall with Mums for a instant burst of color in the new planting beds as well as some spring flowering bulbs such as Snow Drops and Crocus for early spring blooms, as well as Daffodils, Tulips and Hyacinths. Then Either Dutch Iris or the more common and decide over the winter what Perennials You want to plant in the spring.
    Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises).

    I guess that's life, by the timing is everything :)

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger
    vix sorry I missed your birthday hope you had a fun day

    I hope Your Rehab and PT is going well.

    I wonder what that means? I just had a popup that my comment will appear after it is approved?

    Hmmm
    It seems that it is tied to either my reply to Joanne or something. let me do some testing.

    OK further testing that lost my reply showed it was the reply somehow. Let me try again.

    Hi Joanne
    I use a 42" HDTV and sit across the room using a wireless Mouse and Keyboard on a roll around re-purposed Printer table.

    For the flower beds I would probably put Mums for a instant burst of fall color and Iris and other perennials. And this fall I might also put Snow Drops, Crocus for the early bloom, then Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths and Dutch Iris.

    for example I have two varieties of Bleeding hearts that bloom at different times that come up each year.

    That's always the way, Timing is everything

    I had pt this morning at 6:30 this morning. I am starting to bend my knee better. I have been having problems breathing since my operation some how the meds they used has stirred up my astma I had as a child and thought I out grew it hopefully it goes away soon. My DR put me on an inhaler so it is a little better. sounds like everyone is doing better those 24 hour flu bugs are hard take care

    Hi Irene
    I'm happy to hear that The Knee is getting better. I am not super surprised that the Meds stirred up Your Dormant Asthma. No Fun when it happens I know from seeing the effects in others.

    Good Luck having that clear up

    Good evening;
    Irene-I am glad to hear that you can bend your knee better. I hope the asthma is just a residual effect from the anesthesia and will go away soon.
    Roger-Your post is showing up 6 times on my computer. Did you figure out what was going on at your end?
    I am going to wait until I come back from England to plant anything in my new flower beds.
    I usually sit at the dining room table when I am on my laptop or ipad.
    I got a clean bill of health from the doctor today. This was my first time seeing this doctor. My other doctor left the practice. She is very young and doesn't look like she weighs 100 lbs.
    Hi Vix.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Good morning!
    Irene, glad the knee is doing better, sorry about the asthma flare up, hopefully will go away soon. (It was hub's b-day, so just he is getting older, not me. :) )
    Roger, you post repeated several times here too! Nice choice of plants. :)
    Jo, I use a laptop on a desk too....it's terrible for my neck, so I usually don't stay on too long. Congrats on the Dr. visit results. :) (I don't know how some people stay so skinny...I think it's genetic, REALLY.)
    Have a good day, everyone.

    Hi Joanne
    Huh!
    I figured out that it was something in one of the replies that MFP did not like by breaking it into three reply messages. Beyond that I saw nothing that should have caused it in any of them.

    Congratulations on the Good Checkup, Some people are just naturally tiny :)

    Hi Vix
    I suspect that if that was bothering my neck I would have some sort of platform for the laptop to raise the screen to a comfortable height and use a Wireless Mouse and Keyboard. I seem to end up with Logitech brand :)
    The latest one has much better battery life with the mouse, I was using two Duracell AA and getting a month out of them. This one the batteries last much longer, I suspect that the "Laser" in it is now a LED and possibly the receiver is more sensitive so it does not need to use as much power to transmit.

    I have been convinced it is Genetic in many cases.

    Enjoy the Day

    Hi Irene
    I suspect that everybody in that line was trying to get in and out quickly to get to work except You :)

    It sounds as if I am Lucky my doctor draws the blood and I do not have to go to a nearby town where there is lab for that sort of thing.

    Good Luck with acquiring the Long Term Disability

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-good luck with your long term disability. I had blood work done yesterday and the results are already in.
    Everything was fine except the cholesterol was a little high. I think it may be due to the fact that I wasn't totally fasting. I had 1/2 cup of coffee with non-dairy creamer.
    Roger-The radio shows that you downloaded sound pretty good. When my husband and I were dating(many moons ago) we use to sit in his car and listen to mysteries on the radio. I can't remember the exact name, but I am sure he will remember.
    Three weeks from today we leave for the UK. It will be so good to see my son and daughter-in-law.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Hi all.
    Irene, good luck with the long term disability. Good that you are able to get everything taken care of.
    Jo, great news from the Dr. You must be getting excited about your trip. Sounds great. :)
    Roger...that's quite a list. Brings back a lot of memories....I used to love Charlie Chan movies when I was a kid, amongst others. :)
    Took hubs for his colonoscopy this morning...clean bill of health for him, he's good for 10 years.
    Then I went and had my hair done. Color and trim...it's short again. :)
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It was 71 degrees out the door, And it was drizzling for most of the walk, I did take a folding umbrella in my pocket that I used for part of the walk. Today I did 8,752 Steps. The Humidity is up once again, Starting tomorrow the weather is supposed to be better, Cooler :)

    So far one hit and two misses from the radio shows I listened too. Tom Corbett Space Cadet, Miss, Inspector Thorne, Hit, Hallmark, Unsure.

    I picked some Raspberries to go in my cereal for Breakfast on my return home too.

    Have a Great Thursday

    Hi Joanne
    I would not think that Unsweetened Coffee and Non-Dairy creamer would do that TBH.

    If You want You can stream or download from https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio
    The Main Site is https://archive.org/
    Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.
    So You can find Video or Radio etc. there.
    I will be looking at this one too :)http://www.otr.net/

    I suspect You can not wait to get going on That trip

    Hi Vix
    I posted some links above and You Can find some Charlie Chan Movies on Youtube too, examples:
    Charlie Chan in Rio 1941
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brrgSthtdtE

    Charlie Chan in Panama - Sidney Toler - 1940
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QjeFYd_Jc4

    That is nice to hear that he has a clean Bill of health and I bet You were also happy that You got Your hair done too.

    Enjoy the Day

    Hi Again
    I see You posted while I was elsewhere :)

    The rain so far is not too bad here, If there was Thunder Storms last night I slept through them, I'm sorry to hear that they bothered You. Avoiding Noise and saving Energy would be two benefits of Homes buried in the earth, Drawbacks would be needing really good waterproofing and Lack of Windows. These days You might be able to Simulate Windows with Cameras showing what a window would show and a Large Screen TV buried in the wall disguised as a Window :) I have thought about doing something similar using a old Computer and a Aquarium Screen Saver to have a Zero maintenance Tropical Fish tank :)

    Have a Great Day too
