I did get some results today from my colonoscopy. The good news is I only had 2 polyps that were small and negative since I can't remember how to spell benine. Don't have to go through that again for 7 years. However, I do have lymphocytic colitis which is good news in a weird way. I have a name and know a possible cause having had COVID 19 around that time. Now I know how and what I'm fighting. Not knowing what you're fighting makes it worse.

Oh yeah Linda and Carol also. I wish I had the excuse of being busy. I just cant get moving. Need a attitude change.
I hear you. What is going on in the world is very challenging mentally. All politics aside, we've had bitter cold snowy weather since Tues. I can't live without some sunshine.

So this upcoming fishing tournament, what do you catch & what bait do you use?

At least you can have the right treatment now Cathie which hopefully will make you feel much better.

They told me to keep doing what I'm doing. And see you in a couple of months 😅 but now I do have a name for it for sure and for certain. From what I've read, it's what I figured.😁

I miss your calm

understand your
comments.

I’m…. Well….🤔….
I guess good?
Everyone in my life is driving me crazy and I want to go hide in a cave.
But on the rare … I am … ok.
I shouldn’t complain at all after hearing what happened in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
I am just so sad for those innocent people.!
😭😭😭😭

You are so full of bull s*it!!!
Yvonne G is not necessarily
so smart, but
she has experience that goes back
to the Jurassic era. Your
advice on Sulcata is always
right on. And you are funnier than heck!!!
Simon is hiding...lol

Thanks for the confidence Maggie!
I needed that today after some woman
“Micro managed” me at work.
Do you ever feel like Wonder Woman one minute then.. Aqua man the next?
(Some say Aqua man is not a super hero)
She had me in circles chasing my tail!!
(And that was hard considering it was between my legs!!!!) . 🤣
No one is perfect and I for one certainly never claim to be . But one thing I know for sure!….. I know my job!
I am just so discouraged I let her get to me.
Bla..bla..bla… anyway, thank you for your encouragement ❤️

Some speeder on the hiway slid on the ice and knocked over a telephone pole and out went the power...so after abt an hour I went out to the tort shed, piled up 4 small torts, brought them in the house and each in a tub with heat aspen bedding; then tried to figure out what to do for Mary K...take a hint...do not plan on CARRYING a 40 lb angry so strong Sulcata and keeping it comfy in a bathtub.

I pray you get your power back soon!!
A tip…..
When you DO eventually get Marry in a tub… turn the lights out, cover the windows so it’s dark in the room, feed her first (some lettuces and grass)….and use one of those “white noise” machines turned on to “spring morning” (you’ll hear the crickets). She (and you) will be out in seconds!! 😴😴😴😴😴😴

So this upcoming fishing tournament, what do you catch & what bait do you use?
It will be held in Ludington Michigan on lake Michigan. We will be targeting king salmon, Coho salmon, steelhead and lake trout. Use mostly artificial baits, we have one rig that we put a filleted herring on it. It is all trolling for the fish. You get 10 points per fish and 1 point per pound. You are aloud 5 fish.
Here is just one spoon I have. I am sure I have 2000 spoons of all different colors. Some even glow in the dark. This is my boat itis a 24'. Soon when my oldest son changes job's. We are going to get a 32' boat. So he can start a charter service. IMG_2254.jpg

Good morning, have a good day!View attachment 340912
That's awful @Chefdenoel10 , don't take it to heart! It just shows how useless that person is, I'm certain she shot herself in the foot at the end of the day
You told me you have a pet snail, is your snail a giant african snail? May I ask for images of the shelled fella?
Thank you for your words of encouragement!!! 😘
Your trip looks amazing!!!! 😍🤩
I hope your having a blast!
Yes, I have a pet snail.
The story goes like this:
Once upon a time…..🤨…..wait…no?…
One day I was at a vegetable shop picking up some lettuces for my tortoise.
(Don’t worry she eats mostly grass but I had to mix it with something)
Anyway… as I was saying..🤔
Oh.. yes..yes…
Lettuces for my tortoise…
I brought the lettuces home to cut up.
As I was finishing up a rock fell out of one of the bags and rolled toward my stove.
I picked it up and set it on the table to be discarded when I was through.
After about ten minutes I was done and went back to throw the rock out when I noticed…. IT HAD MOVED!!!!!!
All the way across the floor!!!
When I got down on my hand and knees I realized it was a snail!!
As cute as a button he looked up at me as if to say “mom?”
Well hell, I couldn’t throw it away now..?
Cut to today….
He is the “Garden snail” variety..😝
Has his own home too!!
He got a new hollowed out coconut for Christmas to sleep in 😝
The little booger!
And he is about 1-1/2” long. 😂
Also, my mom knitted him a lime green bed to sleep in 🤣 he likes that too!

Sounds like you have a bully in the workplace :confused:
There's always someone who like to make others feel small because of their own inadequacies - it makes them feel good about themselves. She'll have her day!
Try not to let it get you down an I hope you have a better day today.

Good morning all,
It's a bright, chilly, sunny day here!
Helps us remember Spring is on the way!!
Lola hasn't surfaced yet but I can hear him shuffling around in his hide so he'll be looking for his breakfast soon.
I'd better go to the shops and stock up on his food for the weekend - I'm going to a sheltered spot I know of later to see if any weeds have sprung up yet. 🤞
I hope everyone has a great Friday.
TTFN

Thank you Lyn!!
I will heed your advice as of today.
I was asked if I wanted to “work from home today” because of f the ICE that is hitting my windows (right now).
Now…. Let me see…?…🤔

Take a chance driving in without having an accident? Only to get there for some woman to make me feel I want to quit and change careers (not to mention swat her with my fly swapper)….
OR..
Stay warm in my bed with coffee..
See Gary and Sally ALL day…..

.🤔……….. thanks ☺️ I’ll pass!!

Well, I have intresting news20220225_161021.jpg
The waves today have been extreme, even in low tide it's been extremely high. It seemed to be almost pre tsunami conditions, waves coming in and out, flowing high up on the beach, pulling back low. But we found out a cyclone is forming deep in the Indian ocean, of the coast of SA, moving towards Madagascar.
We luckily have high waves, but they'll sadly face the brunt of a cyclone
