It's not toxic.

That’s good. I might plant one in or just outside the new tort yard for a bit of shade. Do you have any other ideas? I already of a dwarf mulberry.

Do you think a bottlebrush tree would be safe around torts? I just love them!

I love them too, and they seem to always look fantastic when blooming.

We paddled by these when in Florida - spectacular!

Hope it all went well, Linda
They just told me to see my GP about my knee to be referred to the hospital.
Chances are I will be back in the physio dept at some point either after, or instead of, surgery!
MInd you I don't think there's much a physio can do about castanet knees!

I like wraps that just give a little extra support(not tight). If it hurts rewrap until it's comforting. It's just for a little stabilizing.

On another note... I picked up another critter yesterday evening. Drove to Sulphur Springs Tx and acquired a 6month old male Jackson Chameleon... it took me a while last night setting up his habitat since I had to throw out most of his old things. I believe he spent his preVious life living in a marijuana haze. Tricia pointed out to me that he was View attachment 271180View attachment 271181a very chiiiilllllll little dude.. lol... He was super thirsty and Drank and Drank And Drank... I have been researching for 3 days now in preparation as I have never owned a chameleon before. Previous owners had never named him so he is “Chomper” now.

What a beautiful little thing Chomper is!
I suppose with all that weed he must be a Calmer Chameleon! (Sorry Boy George and Culture Club)

He has definitely has gone up in the world with his new home with you.

Off to The Emerald Isle tomorrow morning for an extended weekend kayaking adventure.

At the end of May, another big trip to another island, in the middle of pretty much no where, where people ride golf carts as cars and have their own island dialect. Own church, cemetary, island school too. Ogh, it’s also slowly sinking away...

Good morning all! And happy May 1st (Mark) [emoji4]... I’m off today for a follow up Dr Appointment with my son. hubby finally got home (after 3 weeks) around 2am this morning so life for EllieMay will be full swing again.. there is some restructuring going on with my Job and my immediate boss is taking a severance package for early retirement. They are eliminating his position. Not sure what that means for me since I was In training to step in his position upon his normal retirement .. phones have been ringing and other officials say they have plans for me but I guess I’ll be the last to know what they are ‍
Oh well, I’ll just keep rolling with the flow I suppose. Happiness is a choice !

How did the doctors appointment go?
All good I hope, and I also hope they let you know what's going on in work too.

 

[Lyn W]

Well, shoot! I just now realized that Karen MEANT to post a whole new thread telling she's having her eye surgery. She titled it for people NOT in the CDR. Oh well, it's merged in here now. Sorry, Karen.

Hope all goes will with the eye!

I thought it was for visitors to the CDR, but never mind we're all thinking of her.

 

[Lyn W]

I would trust this physio with my life. I definitely trust her with my body. She has been putting me back together for over 15 years.

She probably knows you and your problems much better than your GP. It's good to have someone like that you can trust.

Yep...hummingbirds like those too.

Aagh, good tip!

 

[Momof4]

Thanks for the tree ideas.
I may save a bottle brush for another area.
I need tall shade for summer because it hits over 100.

Those are beautiful!!!

Interesting appointment. Mostly because my physio/osteopath doesn’t agree with the hospital - not the first time and she has always been right so far.

She put me through my paces on gym equipment to see what hurt and when and noted a weakness when I tried to stand on tiptoes on the foot on my bad leg. She thinks I have a calf muscle injury in ... she’s reserving judgement on my knee for the moment .

Anyways, I have to wear flight socks to help with the swelling. And I have exercises to do intensively until I see her again next week when she will see where I am. I have to go to the gym and the pool daily for a few days!

I can’t believe it’s taking this long to heal!! I hope the new exercises help!!
You need to get back to your old self!

 

[Cathie G]

Ah, the # for information. But they send you a texted number that you have to enter before you can go further.

Yea you have to have a computer and a cell or...have a split screen and use email. As soon as you back out to get the number you've lost that connection. Then you have to start over.

When I responded to Karen’s comment, there were no other CDR pages - it almost looked like a new thread.

Maybe that's what I'm seeing too in a way. It always depends on which like I click on to find the conversation going on. It ends after 2 or 3 messages but other likes have 100 messages and I can see how everyone is doing. But I don't give up sooo...happy May1st!
