What a fulfilling day! I really appreciate you sharing your travels. Many of these places / things I would not see or be educated on otherwise..
you deserve a nice lie-in with the rainy day. Favorite hot beverage with a book maybe?

Tea, Rugby World Cup on tv and a relaxing day :)

Yes...and I will keep trying to listen to my own preaching... truly a few nice words are wonderful and I really wish we could all do that for each other. That doesn't always happen though...so you have to not let unkind words or your thoughts or circumstances keep you from smelling the roses. Tonight if I wake up and can't sleep I will keep trying to listen to my big fat mouth.
One of the best things around here? If you can't sleep, this international bunch are pretty well spaced out across the globe... If you can't sleep, or wake up in the middle of the night, there's probably another CDR regular online then, or at least within an hour or two. Someone else staying up late or waking up early... If someone's having a really bad day (or night), they probably won't have to be "alone" for long. :)

I'll remember that and actually have done that. It helped me to get to this point. Now I refuse to be up all night even if I can't sleep. I just lay there and doze. But the CDR helped keep me laughing until I got that far... mention

You should always listen cause Mama knows best!!
Awwww... Thank you! Our little Red Lady (her codename until she tells us what her permanent name should be) is growing like a weed, getting prettier with every shed. We expect her to start developing some blue in the barring on her back. We'll see...

She does look a lot bigger. I loved the strong silent one you posted earlier as well. Such an intelligent look:).

A new baby showed up today in my front flower bed. The little one was under a tile I hide a front door key. Here it is late September and this is definitely a baby. The little cutie was just hanging out with back legs crossed. This is the picture I managed to capture.0922190800b.jpg

I like toads, we have a big one named chief toad living under our balconny, he gets his humidity from the air conditionner water drops.

Thank you very much. Being I'm only turning 21 I never expected to have blood clots but I guess age doesn't matter.. how did the filter work out? My doctor has mentioned it..I as well am fighting with diabetes. My doc said I can try to reverse it by losing a crap ton of weight but it that is alot harder than I anticipated.. since then I have lost 40 pounds.. still can't eat sugar. Makes me very very sick. Guessing it's my blood sugar going out of whack. I hope your appointment on Monday goes great Ray! Prayers being sent your way for all health problems. God bless you. You're definitely a fighter! Going through all of this I got very depressed. I'm still in a funk. You seem to be in high spirits and it is nice knowing even after everything you're still happy.
Thanks!They only wanted to leave the filter in for 6 months. I guess there can be problems with filters that stay in long periods of time. The clot in my left leg dissipated and the one in my right thigh is what they refer to as chronic. Meaning it is old and hard and rarely break loose. I am sure it was leftover from the vehicle accident.
I started the Keto diet monday. I need to lose about 80 lbs. I know if I can lose the weight it will be easier for me to walk on my prosthetic leg.
I also go thru periods of depression. Just came out of one about a month ago.
Hang in there losing 40 lbs is great!
I just bought a new scale for Opo. It weighs up to 440 lbs. So I guess I can use it also. My doctors scale only goes to 350lbs. Not enough for me :(

I know, isn't it great? @Ray--Opo is an inspiration. We all have days (or weeks, or years) of being in a funk, but just being able to come hang out in the CDR makes you feel better. Always among friends here.
I agree about the CDR. It is much better than FB.

It's really been fun this year for toads in my yard. Instead of seeing just one for the year I've seen 3. One adult earlier in the summer and a baby one that was living on the back deck and flower bed area. Now this little baby in early fall hanging out in the front yard flower bed. I think they're setting up their residence.
