Renewable Resource... They are now advertising wooden baby toys as renewable resource what I wanna know is why don't they consider plastic a renewable resource because it keeps coming and coming and coming.. plastic seems to be the byproduct of human existence nowadays that's pretty damn renewable...   just imagine life without plastics..   and if you want to make it worse life without plastics and electricity that would put us back to the Stone Age..

 

I remember. back in high school when we had to take home Eck--and teachers had a little more to of leeway ---Our homeekk teacher had us carry around a 10 LB bag of flour for 24 hours we were not to put it down and she did not ever want to see us without that 10 lbs of flour..  replicating the complications of having a child in high school---  it was very interesting and amusing for a very short period of time then it was a pale of neck as it was supposed to be..  of course home ekk was just for the female students. So for today Can you imagine a day without touching anything plastic.. or even an hour.. got a large problem there

 

Today we get to decide that ziti must be 12 weeks old because she's going to get her  rabies shot to be taken there by Elizabeth who will have to control about noodles and ziti because I have too many doctors appointments Can you imagine they're going to change my legs and then test may on this itr whatever blood thinner deal

 

which leaves Janine to do the job which will be a bunch of kids I think in Woburn she may have to take her truck and trailer because everybody else is going somewhere with all the other vehicles.. somehow she'll manage I don't have to worry about that one

Rest too long after an injury and your system shuts down,,--- movement is medicine...out of a book Running with sherman,, a book given to us at mailcall

 

“Running with Sherman” wehere a guy glues together a badly neglected donkey and gets involved in bouro racing.. I just got the book yesterday so I'm not very far into it maybe 1/4 of an inch but I am enjoying it very much and I may give it to Janine with hope she'll stay in bed for a day or two as ---in my belief ---her body is just plain exhausted...

 

We did take the black pony and donkey to the adult care center in Newburyport yesterday where of course they were exceedingly popular and one man who had retired from the Gilbert hospital almost next door no notice how much quieting effect the animals had on everybody who came in to see them.... And I am looking at the effort required to get those two animals at that senior care facility off which nobody even thinks about. somehow in the last six months Janine has managed to get a very nice trailer..  to pull with her 350 ford.. which add Had four nice round and black.  tires and a tank full of gasoline $100 Which I filled by mistake with my charge card.---  I hate to bore you with the details but to go on from there is massive with the swapping of trailers and then having the truck detailed so you could even get in it..   remember she and Elizabeth were just about living in it when they go to these horse buying auctions .

Yesterday there was a piece of paper went by my face..  and on it was actually a bill for four items $20.00 each... and I asked Elizabeth what on earth and it turns out it's $20 it has someone sign the piece of paper that we're supposed to show to any of the authorities as we go between states.. This $20 per animal was just to get the signature on some other piece of paper which I didn't seem to have in front of me at the moment -----but it's paperwork that's required by the US Department of Agriculture,,  that's my favorite kind of thing...  where to verify the health and well-being of an animal does not even mean looking at the animal just signing the paper. turns out iy is needed to transport...oh?...just one more expense in rescue.....

 

I am pretty sure in these daycare center places that I can get a donkey to expect treats to be tossed in an area which will define where they should stay

I did that pretty well in the hunt nursing home but I didn't even have a chance here and I wasn't too sure I had the same donkey but inside that on nursing home we did have it pretty well organized where the horse was looking for the treats in the frying pan held by the people... and I could control where the donkey went by sitting very still and tossing treats at his feet indicating which way to go next ..  it was working it was interesting

 

there's an interesting part of animal behavior that I don't see anyone investigating but having watched Mary in her relationship with the dogs which were in the puppy hill area... she went out of her way to literally exchanged breaths with one dog after another and I wondered if that was to establish a future behavior or lack of fear of that particular animal it was it was very weird and it was not what you think of as normal somebody needs to study that breath swapping.

 

 

 $50 to  WALK WITH THE GOATS????  HOW DID WE MISS THAat idea???- and apparenly whoever... said there were 11 people... wow !!  I have heard of dancing with wolves... but goats?? Now there's a new wrinkle apparently as Mike brings the goats up and takes them back on a daily basis people on that camera are thrilled to watch them and they are funny it's interesting certainly.

Maybe we should capitalize on that!

 

I managed to get the 10 super sunflower seeds plannted where the camera can see them on the fence opposite honeymoon hill..

 

 I don't know what camera now works where---- the whole electrical atmosphere around here is very confusing... starting with Janine getting shocked with the laundry building and somebody else getting shocked off the ICU building... with that I called the the fire department who came and explained what they thought the problem was but that I should get electrician so I call electrician who came and after spending an hour or so explained to me what he thought the problem was and then bud arrived on Sunday... and he explained to me and exceedingly intricate detail there were two separate problems in two separate areas... which still leaves me thinking why now?  at any rate but is inclined to be right which would make you worry about having any great faith in licensed electricians or  a fire department. 

 

It really points out how quickly we jumped to some idea which I'll call convenient in that we could then put that out of our minds I got to think about whatever we want to think about.. because trying to analyze a rogue electrical current is not tremendously fascinating space unless you're bud. who just never gives up until he can mentally figure something out.--  which is why I am inclined to believe him..  he thinks the problem in the ICU building is coming from the hot water heater...  and the problem in the laundry building is coming from the camera box in the ice tea tent.  He thinks he solved the immediate problem by pulling the plug on them both..  I am inclined to pull the plug on that whole group which would include the barn. except the dogs do need the air conditioning.  our electric bill here comes in three pieces

and the guesthouse where I am it is own circuit,,, then the house... then the rest of the place.

It might be interesting for you to know that we had to put a gas dryer in the barn because we have exceeded the amount of electricity available on the street by the time you run two of these big dryers and everything else the gas bill is shall we say significant.

 

As is the water bill which is a whole new ball game---I stood around yesterday with Tracy and bud and watched and analyzed the water usage which is horrendous..  Tracy says she has asked and explained and gets nowhere and the water bill is huge..  if you take a simple washing of the water of the food dishes and how much water is not necessary for that process.. but that's just the start. One of my favorite occupations is to sit around and watch somebody work and yesterday I watched Janet---who is 76 years old and is a gardener.. who can whip through any small patch of fancy plants in 4 1/2 seconds.

I watched her bent over and pull weeds with her left hand, transfer them to her right hand with all the stems and roots in the same direction so in a second motion she could throw them on to the tarp--  her personal tarp it's about 8 foot square which she uses to drag weeds around instead of a wheelbarrow...  Her unit of measurement is a tarp full---she was fascinating to watch---as is anyone who is good at any particular one chore.  If we could all move with such efficiency the place would be spotless and we have a lot more time to relax. 

I have to include a billboard sent to me which really made me laugh.

 

If liars pants were really on fire the news would be a lot more interesting to watch....

 

Why do people not own more dogs?   horror story #578 .  janine noticed carl had a swollen foot—and took his temp...104—a significant high temp(101-almost 102 norm). since she was just babysitting this dog she didn't want to take any chances and figured she better take him to the vet... well it being Saturday there were not a large number of vets available so she went to Bulger an Andover which is a 24 hour emergency vet place...  the result of that was that she sat in A room with Carl on the floor not even a fluffy to sit on for five hours when finally th  vet came in gave him a shot and prescribed bottle of pills and she went out to the front desk and the bill was over $400..   I realized that people have to make a living but somehow the cost of veterinary care and the availability of veterinary care is prohibitive. And very discouraging for people to even own a pet..  and one thing they teach in vet school or certainly right after that school because I've seen the course..  is how to make your client feel guilty if they don't spend more money on their pet on various tests and pills . I know of a veteran to whom I gave a service dog that was perfectly healthy nothing wrong with it he took it to his vet just to be introduced in case he should ever in an emergency need him the vet kept the dog overnight and charge the vets insurance company Over $7000 for a bunch of perfectly normal tests when nothing was wrong with him ..the veteran had great insurance. Janine was equally upset over the 5 hours out of her life..

That swollen front foot--- I have seen before ----for a while George Myers thought I was crazy because all the dogs related to BMW kennel seemed to come up with one swollen front foot a really high temperature over 105 feeling lousy and by the time I noticed it the temperature was down and they were feeling a lot better .. so in the course of my many years I found that whether we treated this Bigfoot disease or not it seemed to go away all of a sudden they never seem to get it twice---  I did see on a chart somewhere where doctor Myers finally had given it a name several other dogs too ---but it's always one front foot as this problem with Carl seemed to be..

 

Plan for the day--I've decided that I should have a better organized plan for the day and this day reigning or not I am going to plant some of those sunflower seeds---it was wonderful to think I'd get the rototiller around inside the pond area but that's just never going to happen so I think I'll plant some of these along the fence which I think will still be in the view of the camera..

Elizabeth had some fancy idea about asking camera people to guess which one got the biggest or whatever but these are supposed to be super duper sunflowers so it seems like I should be able to get them in the ground... so be it for the day

 

this fool -----machine has now deleted what I push the button to send and has now deleted it and I don't have a copy backup anywhere which is my own damn fault I was so busy writing a discussion on 220 current and how the hell I could be responsible for it if I hadn't been in the building in the last year we did we did get an electrician here who is 90% sure that it's coming from the first floor of the laundry building it is the 220 circuit which is a lot more powerful than the 110---- 110 will knock you over 220 you may not get up.....

so we don't want to fool with that..

 then I had a nice discussion about the Unicorn and how goalies farm was rolling on with lots of people requesting to come here and initiating the idea that people pick up their relatives at these nursing homes and then bring them here for as the destination which we do have a place for them to sit in the shade or they can even stay in their car and drive around... I had a nice long daily doggie on that

 

 and it's all gone so I'll kiss this one by before the same thing happens again

 

 

My nifty purchase of the week/ year... where most sneakers are in the $100 range... ziti is chewing up my red sneakers which cost $22

Which make them less to buy than most dog toys... so di bought a purple pair and let ziti chew away !!

I am sure that this will not fascinate too many people but I do have both legs wrapped and what I would call vet wrap stretchy stuff umm at any rate in the middle of the night I had an absolute horrible nightmare that all of me was wrapped in that stuff and I woke up with a bolt.... Pondering how horrible it must be for someone who has a cast on or who can't scratch wherever it itches.

 

and it doesn't pay to take a Tylenol--that doesn't cure itches... nothing does well except the new television commercials which are beginning to say something about itching--- and actually Leahy.. has me down for experimental medication ordinarily costing $7000 a month which theoretically is going to be given to me for nothing.... except I know full well nothing is for nothing and that there is has to be some risk involved but there's a hell of a risk it itching all the time too so I'm on it-- there are some medications on television which are addressing the itching problem I don't know whether this stuff I'll be taking is one of those or not all I know is it's damn expensive if you don't have insurance which of course I do Medicare and medex seems to take care of everything I have wrong with me which is considerable.

now to relate the purple pony slash Unicorn that Janine has been going around with she is having a wonderful time and had a new angle that I had not considered and that all of you should consider actually if you have a relative in one of these daycare places most of the time you can pick them up and take them places like  lunch or in our case come to goldies farm and bring your own lunch mind you... um but there are relatively few.. destinations which would be suitable for entertaining elderly parents who for the most part are stuck in a daycare center.

I know because even though I am not deposited in a daycare center I'm well aware of the confusion I cause just by being old.

even if I still do drive myself  before 10:00 in the morning..  so I make doctors visits for 8:00 so that I can drive myself.  apparently these things on my legs have to be changed on a weekly basis so 8:00 Wednesday morning I will be having my legs changed.

I keep remembering those friends of mine from long time ago Ron and hope Nutter. who are in a very nice assisted living place but they don't like it and I don't blame them ... they do have three daughters so this is a call for the three daughters to go get their parents and bring them over the goalies farm to enjoy whatever seems to be happening at the time which may be nothing but at least it's a different atmosphere.. and BYO lunch!

Gwen says she remembers weighing in patients for tom  and that the scale only went to 300 pounds ! I hope I can get some stove blacking to  jazz it up—I have always marveled at the combination of forces that result in a darn accurate weight!

 

Our best and positive news is the Unicorn--Janine took her to an assisted living place in Woburn yesterday with the two chickens of carlys and they had a fantastic time everybody was so enthralled with with both the chickens and the the Unicorn so it's nice to have a really upbeat experience with that deal . We could never run out of people in assisted living places to go visit last week without too much trouble I think we saw over 200 people and we're not booked every day we only booked about three days a week and it's the morning about 10 is that our usual arrival time.. it's a whole new ball game and a week ago quite aways with variety all the way down to judies turtle is that a turtle or a tortoise excuse me it's a tortoise we could give everybody quite a variety to think about.

 

and then they came home to the left electrical that I don't understand and the fire department doesn't understand the electronic apartment is looking into it .

 

it kind of started in ICU building with people getting shocked and then yesterday somebody got a shock out of the laundry building which is pretty logical because they are electrically tied together at any rate we have a some rogue electrical current around here and we need to get it straightened out before somebody gets really hurt and I have asked Lynn to contact electrician because she has the building locked anyway ... honestly stuff gets so complicated.. used to be every building on the property was not locked and I don't know what the ruling is about having the fire department have access somehow---- I don't know and I don't wanna know I just want to get on with life.

I can't just call an electrician because the doors are locked... So I don't have access now I have to worry about whether they're gonna shut off the electricity and there's awfully hot weather there would be no air conditioning for the dogs--- I'm not sure what provisions have been made for that anyway I don't see any fans except in the horse department.. Where Janine has filled all the big water tubs is in preparation for maybe not having access to water because that seems to be where we're getting the shocks from.

Bud offered a thought that maybe because so much of the plumbing is now done with plastic pipe that the old copper pipes which were actually used to ground the electricity are not there and he wondered about the heater in icu building He wanted me to go check but I'm not supposed to go in that building and the laundry building which has the panel is locked. I can't do a thing. and we'll have to rely on Lynn to straighten it out.

With this hot weather fans and the air conditioning are critical.

Just off the top I paid the craney company to put all the wires for the laundry building in metal pipe when we went through the rat problem---and the wires for the icu building all right where you can see them . It's gonna take an electrical guy with with meters and figure out what's going on so I hope Lynn has them on deck.

 

I believe there are some people coming today to have maybe lunch I don't know um in the new rendition of the ice tea tent..  it really is quite lovely and if there is a breeze it's in that area.. so I'm off again with my spray bottles and a fan.. it does work

 

 

i donot understand this #$%^&*()_+

The ice T tent is done enough for guests ----it looks great it functions well ----Janine and the crew should be very proud of the fact that they took an absolute mess and turned it into something very functional very quickly as we did mail call from there last night.. And thanks to your extra special effort in the henny penny department it looks like you all are voting with your $10 donations.. in approval of basically the community service that we can do.. at the moment Janine and Carly I think it was the two they took our Unicorn and two chickens to a daycare center and everybody was flabbergasted at the smiles the chickens got--

they are presented if you will on a display unit ordinarily designed for wedding cakes.. what better use than two chickens. 

Yesterday which would have been Tuesday it was so hot here the group planning to come here decided they better stay in their air conditioned facility which was a shame---but probably the right decision---we did have excitement anyway--because unknown to me Monday. somebody got an electric shock from the stainless steel sink  outside the ICU building. I didn't know that but yesterday four more people got shocked and I thought that deserved some serious attention..  electricity is wonderful---but it is supposed to stay confined to where you want to put it ---it does not belong in a stainless steel sink... immediately began to pay attention, while  sitting in my air conditioned car I persuaded several other scientifically inclined folk to have a look at it..  after removing several obvious things like ice melting device leftover from winter--I could not figure out why anyone should get a shock from that sink.... bud didn't know either...  based on those facts I decided we needed some real professional opinion on this shocking bit..

so I called the police station and said I wanted to talk to someone in the fire department and he couldn't give me the number which was a shame because I said this is not an emergency I just need some information hopefully but once he hung up he pushed the only button left and up the driveway came two absolutely beautiful polished huge fire trucks..  how huge you may ask?  the two of them took up the entire area in front of the ICU building forcing me into the corner which was fine..  Not only the trucks but six absolutely beautiful polished men spilled out onto our problem.  they poked around with their funny little meters and determine that yes we did have a rogue current.

That took almost an hour and they then came to me and told me that they were trying to contact someone in the electric department to come figure it out but they weren't having an awful lot of success and it would be best if I just didn't use that building until we figured out what was wrong..  electricity is weird it could be a tiny little snap of a spark like when you rub your feet on the rug and touched somebody else's finger or it could be the kind of knock out  jolt I got whille-being electrocuted with the MBTA elevator..

 

I have enough experience with electricity to have a pretty good idea of what I don't know which is a lot... so the fire department suggested I just close that down and until I could get an electrician out here to figure out the problem and fix it.  because they could not determine whether it was simply a grounding problem or a massive bare wire been chewed by something like a rat so as popular as that's going to be that building should not be used until we get it fixed.

 

 NO NOT YET

WOW ! 

i knew someone would remember.   this is a very intellectual bunch !!

 

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE by Shakespeare is about taking a pound of flesh for a debt owed.  However, IF “THEY” ” took the flesh, causing  blood to spill, etc. etc.

Honey

 

a hugely interesting concept as i draw up a list of  "stuff" atound here

 

which started me thinking.....i have shared-- and will continue to share what i have for the benefit of my dogs that i caused to be born here... and to some extent as we officially "open" the donkey cafe to be open to all the day care folk in busloads...and lets face IT – ANY OF THE CAMERA PEOPLE—ESPECIALLY THOSE BRINGING BIRTHDAY CAKES !!  Great fun watching people meet me who already know nearly everything about me from the mail calls.. and meet each other with whom they have been corresponding for two years and never got to meet them before.. camera people arrive and just slide into place with the least possible fuss whether they're staying overnight somehow or eating or whatever everybody is welcome somehow. 

There is--- in full view of everybody--- the dumpster,,  historically I had a post that could be reached by the guy driving the dumpster pickup truck and I used to leave him five or $10 or something on that post which he could just take without getting out of his truck---that encouraged him to take whatever I piled up on the dumpster..  Four years... and then he got in some kind of trouble with drunk driving and lost his license to drive that truck so he has to work in the yard now..  however the goodwill that all those dollars caused got passed on to the new driver who never complains I think about what to be picked up it was sitting on the dumpster...  The dumpster is now supported by service dog project funds--- I have never seen it overflowing, and by actual search it's usually less than half full. .. However we--- got reprimanded for tossing one small bag of trash in the ½ full dumpster.   Interesting as I make up this list of stuff I bought when I had no personal reason to buy such things... AT LEAST IT WAS NOT NARKETING THAT MADE me buy this stuff..

 

My latest fascination is with bowls of food basically starting a cup of rice to which you can add proteins vegetables seasonings whatever some of these concoctions are very good and a lot easier to deal with than the usual luncheon sandwich... just make sure you start the bowl with a cup of rice ....some of them are super/

FINALLY !!

 

 Dd 6 17.

Now that I'm out on my golf cart all new level of stuff gets packed in my brain or at least rattles around in my brain and yesterday it was listing the things I now own..  which I never wanted but had to buy for one reason or another and really don't want now...  and there's an awful lot of it starting with great globs of concrete which would never be in place in a nice horse barn which is what that was to start with..

  far be it from me to give any credit to any English class that I ever took or book I had to read but one of them is coming to my mind right now ---it has to do with cutting off someone's hand or hrad—oe something like that. and they decide finally it's OK to cut the hand off but you mustn't spill any blood in the process so whoever is the hand cutter decides maybe they will  not cut the hand off/... that was a book I read in high school believe it or not,,

 

it is a long list of stuff--- wanted and unwanted actually about 200 things at the moment—and it is only a visual list from stuff still here... I have not consulted any cheekbook  syuff yet..

 

so intellectually ,,,,, it then cause me to sit around this one room and see what I now have in this room which has been reduced pretty much to absolutely necessary things...  and let me tell you it because it compares unfavorably well everything I have packed in what we call building 25..  and who caused me to buy all that stuff in building 25 I don't know---  but I'm sure the marketing world could tell you..

 

So as I now touch things I now stop for 1/2 a second and say what the hell made me buy this.??

 dd 6 16

If I'm late today it's because I'm having trouble getting my head around the concept of.....  if Janine helped the horses and I helped the great Danes and I have shifted to adult care center Is it maybe time for me too take it to a different level of helping the people stuck in these places.

 

to do that it's not going to be a simple matter of adding add person toa facilities  staff--- now that I've been to so many of these places I can see that even though they are by law supposed to have someone in charge of entertainment it doesn't quite work out that way they're called the activities director but they get pretty stretched thin.. and end up playing bingo.. I think it is time for the state of Massachusetts any rate to come up with a creative group of maybe four people who should produce a creative entertainment if not daily then certainly weekly.

in several places---- what you have right now is 100--- people /children and one person who's overworked and ends up not producing what should happen.. how do I get this message across

Every place we go to has an activities director they also have a smart TV all of them.. usually black screen.. for a lot of reasons which could be cured.. Also many of these places --notably the state-run daycare center type --they don't seem to have a budget.  I don't think you could come up was enough really creative people in order to have every activities director be on their own, but if the state had their own creative activities group to pass out suggestions that might work .

Am I all the way back to the TED lecture by Ken Robertson on how creativity is severely lacking in our entire educational system?....\ I know you'll have trouble finding really creative people to keep coming up with new ideas all the time.. it's not easy.     This whole system is totally stagnant..  I mean ---for example--- when everyone in a facility both staff and clients are absolutely thrilled to have us walk in with a chicken ,  something is wrong.."social services" is more than food and water   ---  how do we teach creativity? 

 

Those many  years ago that I told Charlie I would promote explore, .i am -- basically still doing that , but it's also Judy with her bag full of silly stamps to stamp our poop pickers...  the people had a grand time doing that OK do we need to invent more things for these people to do so they are not stagnant.. 

 

I am reminded of my go round with the legal system after I was electrocuted... and the company lawyer flat out said why should we bother—you are 79--- we could just out wait  you.  There was an awful lot of discounting older people for that same reason.. does that qualify as elder abuse.

 

I know the SPCA has some flat out rules if the horse has a bucket of water however dirty and any sign of any hay... then the owner cannot be cited.  Ok.  OK I have I have water and a refrigerator full of stuff and I don't have any bruise marks so therefore To ignore after that is not abusive... really? proving a negative is always difficult...

 

 p.s. union  local 25 did a super job cleaning up/ cutting grass etc yesterday-- they even brought their own food truck !

Dd 6 13,

Being more than slightly deaf,...Sitting there in the courtroom... with nothing to do, I could not help but admire the polished wood and everything perfect... including the 3 inches of  duct  over the door handle that said “pull”.

 

 The uncorn episode was a huge success---lovely white pony with various parts dyed purple to match the request.... which meant  a great deal of Janine was also dyed purple.. the excitement was—someone across the wild internet—I can not imagine who would do such a thing...  but called the tv stations to report Janine’s attempt at coralling a wild donkey as “animal abuse”   so the crew arrived with big camera on shoulder...they decided there was no negative  story of animal abuse, but left with their minds full of a pretty amusing happy story about  volunteers, shampoo ,  a white  pony and purple dye...

I remember megan's urine colored dog and wondered how long we were going to have a purple pony.  The child who requested this was beyond thrilled.  there are good pictures which are probably on the Internet but typically nobody's sent them to me... there's one of the child alone walking the pony up the middle of a street--- which I wish I had but I don't..  that pony was damn good !!!

 

First thing I do every morning well at least the 2nd is the turn on the TV to see whether World War three has started.. Invariably I get some advertisement about 3 lawyers wanting to take your case and how successful they are.. which started me wondering which would take precedent ....World War 3 or the finances of having an advertisement on.. television... and I couldn't help but remember Tom leyer. and his comment to his mother “goodbye mom-- I am off to drop the bomb. – I’ll be home when the war is over,   in about 20 minutes”

 

Why are comedians  so often absolutely correct?

 dd 6 12

Yesterday's news of the court case was spectacular enough by itself um I don't know enough about all the details to relay anything accurately but I am told the results are posted somewhere online I did hear rumors about the fact that the judge awarded interest on an outstanding bill of $59,000 so that number became something in the 80s/... there's nothing quite that's exciting as being in a courtroom like that and being able to hear maybe one word out of every 20 that are spoken so I haven't a clue .I did hear the word interest which could have been mathematical or psychological who knows.

 

That was 100% janine's project start to finish..  I have not started on mine yet.

One thing at a time... but I have started a list ohh big expenses around here that people don't know about and I just paid them hoping that eventually the whole output would be solvent enough to repay me back again--we're working on that.

 

One thing that gets mentioned that's kind of funny there's the swing set... my lovely swings set---if I had to pick a number as to how much it actually cost out of pocket there are 5 pieces of two inch pipe metal pipe then make it up

and short pieces three of them at each end got welded together by a friendly person for zero...so that “Outrageous expense” was zero on my part because he basically bought the pipe too..   I think he should manufacture and sell those

we've had enough people absolutely love it..  oh the seat part is part of my scaffolding which I bought back when they were putting up the arena so I could reach some of the turnbuckles..   it makes a great swing set.

Being on this blood thinner means I have to go and have a blood test a lot very often.. to make sure it's not getting too thin and this morning at 8:45 I'm due there...   the coagulation group at the hospital is the most efficient I have ever seen

 

one other thing to mention quickly is that the cafeteria at the hospital is easily a destination for lunch lunches are s subsidizedoup so therefore they're cheap and the Turkey sandwich and the bowl of veggies are better than I've had anywhere else so good morning.
