roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 I managed to breath life in my old laptop (it was/is barely living) In it were some pictures of dad in his last year alive. So I went out in the cold today largely to get the truck started and drive it a bit. But I stopped and picked up a thumb drive. Lo and behold I was able to transfer the pics from the old computer to the thumb drive and then download them onto the computer I use now. Glad to do that, now the pictures are saved both on my laptop and the thumb drive Second highlight was my truck started up in this cold no problem A good Saturday RG 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 Had the worst (well one of the worst exams ) a guy gets as part of his physical yesterday, a prostate exam, consisting of a DRE 😭 (digital rectal exam) followed by PSA (prostate specific antigen test...just taking blood). Anyhow why a highlight, results back today, results all good. Things like this never concerned me before but considering Dad died of cancer and health wise I had a mini Stroke (Dad had a Stroke years ago) it was in the back of my mind I might have cancer too. Strange how things can play on your mind, all jokes about prostrate exams aside, I thought I might get prostate cancer. It is a relief, didn't know how much. Now a couple more curves in my life to get through then "touch wood" smooth sailing But on the lighter side..... RG 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomer 33202 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 Interestingly I had to have a colonoscipy the year following my wife's death. As they had given me Demirol on a prior occasion to lessen the discomfort during the procedure, it was necessary that I had someone to get me home following the procedure. On this occasion I showed up by my self so was given several options, I chose to go ahead "sans drugs" not wanting to go through the cleansing preparations again. It's kind of like getting dental work without being frozen. Better be safe than sorry. Ouch !!! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JWright1993 144 Report post Posted March 2, 2019 Been working casual hours at my new job for a couple months now, and unfortunately my manager just doesn't have the hours to bump be up to even part time. However, we did work out a deal since he knows I need the money, and he knows I work hard for it. Any time someone calls in sick or they need extra hands, he calls me first to see if I can take their hours for the day. With how many calls my department gets, this is practically like being bumped up to full time. I might not get the benefits, but the extra pay makes all the difference. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted April 10, 2019 Honestly this sucks for many of us but my highlights is that my front lawn is white this morning but so is everyone else. I take great care of my lawn and for some reason I'm always the last property to still have snow in the spring while everyone else is cutting their lawn. This is why I find that today we are all even. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did my grocery shopping and going through the check out earned enough Air Miles Points to get a $10.00 gift card at the grocery store. And when I got home sitting waiting for me was my Vitamix blender that I ordered last week. It's already had it's first blend (ok it was the washing blend but a blend is a blend LOL)… Right now its in the dishrack drying (may even be dry by now). Tonight I'm going to be bad and have a milkshake...no not a smoothie, but an ice cream milkshake...tomorrow the Vitamix will be used for goodness, not evil LOL A Rambling RG 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
