    Good evening;
    Vix-I hope you got some answers from the rheumatologist.
    Hi Roger and Irene.
    I went for a color and haircut after work today. Tomorrow after work I am going to pick up my glasses from Target.
    I hope this pair works.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi, I have to go for an MRI...I'm taking some steroids to decrease the inflamation. It may be a slipped disk/pinched nerve in my spine...I'll talk to them again after the MRI. I'm missing cartilage in my spine and in my hip.
    Hope you got a nice color and cut, Jo.
    Too much going on right now. Family illnesses. I may be out of touch for a few days sooner or later. Trying to get myself patched up quickly in case we have to go.
    Have a good night everyone.

    Hi
    I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 65 on the news channel and 63 degrees on the front porch.
    While I was out walking I picked up Winning Lottery Tickets for my Brother and I, I know they are winners as I told the Young fellow to make sure they are all Winners :)

    Good morning.
    Looks like a beautiful summer day outside, sunshine with an expected high of 80.
    Meeting some work friends for lunch, should be lots of fun, haven't seen these ladies for a while. Have an appt with a back up rheumatologist this afternoon, will see how that goes.
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    I agree, Yesterday was a great day outside. Today is expected to be mostly a carbon copy until evening.
    When It rains then it is a great day inside :)

    I hope You had Good Luck at the Rheumatologist

    Vix-Good luck with the MRI. Will you eventually have to have a hip replacement?
    Roger-we will have to share because I also bought the winning tickets. :p
    Irene-congratulations on getting back on track. I picked up my glasses today. They seem to be ok. I can see distances and read. They are only a back up encase anything happens to my regular glasses.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi Irene
    It is always good to be home. How nice that You really enjoy the Browns Mills one.

    For some reason I had this image of Your Trenton Home as one of the Row Houses we see on some of the TV shows about flipping homes :) I am obviously wrong if You have grass to mow.

    I have been very happy with the morning temperatures and humidity this week, Much better than last week :)

    Good Luck with Amazon

    Hi Joanne
    One of the Ladies at the One bank I use had her hips replaced. She is much happier on here feet now. It seems to be a more or less routine thing anymore.

    I have always kept the old glasses as a backup. That works for me as my eyes do not change much.

    Since I would not mind sharing with a couple of others given the amount to be won :)
    Good Luck to Both of Us.

    good morning, Roger our home in Trenton is a single home. I don't like row homes I need a little space nothing wrong with row homes I just am not a fan of them. I have a girlfriend that had a hip replacement and she is doing so much better. No big plans for today just enjoying the weather I did get some steps in right now I am at 8300 I didn't get on the treadmill today so not too bad just for walking.

    Hi Irene
    If I said neither my brother or I have any interest in that is only Semi Detached, Condo, Co-Op, Converted Apartments or anything with a HOA or Maintenance Fees ?

    It looks like a decent day despite the increased humidity.

    My problem is in my spine. Got a 6 day prednisone pack and have an appt with my rheumatologis on Thursday. Things are up in the air. Will get through all this.

    Hi Vix
    I'm sorry to hear about Your MIL.

    I suspect that a prednisone pack is better for You than some of the narcotic pain packs you apply to the sore area.
    I hope the Rheumatologist helps

    Hi Irene
    A Pound a week is not that bad, I know we all wish it were 5 or more pounds a week, it is what it is and 1 to 1.5 pounds a week is what NS suggests as a target.

    Thank You for the kind words

    Hi Joanne
    You do have some long names up in Mass.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Chaubunagungamaug
    Lake Chaubunagungamaug, also known as Webster Lake, is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, United States. It is located near the Connecticut border and has a surface area of 1442 acres. Since 1921, the lake has also been known by a much longer name having 45 letters comprising fourteen syllables: Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg.
    Long name coined around 1921

    The exaggerated name "Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg" (/ˌleɪk tʃɚˈɡɒɡəɡɒɡ ˌmænˈtʃɔːɡəɡɒɡ tʃəˌbʌnəˈɡʌŋɡəmɔːɡ/),[8][9] is a 45-letter alternative name for this body of fresh water, often cited as the longest place name in the United States and one of the longest in the world. Many area residents, as well as the official website of the town of Webster, consider the longer version correct.

    This is the name I saw for it on the TV yesterday. Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg I suspect I would have trouble pronouncing and spelling it.

    Moving on, You have been busy, good Luck with Your Husbands sore throat.
    Roger
