It's my best friend's birthday today, and while she is living in Australia (for another couple of weeks), I decided to celebrate with some mocktails!

Cuban split on the left: Watermelon syrup, vanilla syrup, orange juice, and fresh squeezed lime juice. San-sangria on the right: Grape juice, monin sangria mix syrup, fanta orange, and sparkling water, with cirtus fruit slices.

This cracked me up today at the store, so I sent this text to DH.



Exactly what animal do they think the potato comes from?

 

[donaldtoo]

Oh, I remember that! You were a wreck. But now you're all back to being fine tuned, just like a Bugatti. Glad you are well again after all that.

Which one...or both....?



And yes, I also know there are Ducati motorcycles...useless trivia, but, WTH...!!!!!

I think they are maybe referring to the type of oil it's fried in?

Busy busy day.... took down and washed all the curtains... sucessfully hung 2/3rd of them back up, but of course 2 won't cooperate. Had to go to lowe's to get a vacuum belt ..... wrapping presents for a baby shower tomorrow... so I had to run to the dollar store for a bag for wrapping.... whew... I need a nap but I have to finish laundry and go grocery shopping!

I guess it COULD be, but I don't think any place uses animal fats anymore, do they? I know the Fryer oils we buy at the store are all veggie-based.

Wow... I didn't realize that this was a old age home discussion forum!

I’m older than WDW by 9-ish years, but, younger than Disneyland by 6-ish years.
But, I was also here 4+years before Walt passed.

I never get put under. I watch it on their TV. It fascinates me. It doesn't hurt, just a little pressure. I watch them find and cut them out. Then they give me color pictures of them. I've always wanted to use one for the picture on my Christmas cards. Photo shopped to include internal Christmas decorations. My daughters wouldn't let me. The older I get the more picky about my behavior they get. A few years back I had ten of them. All benign, but, it makes for a lovely photo collection. Perhaps it would make a good coffee table book. I could entitle it "How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love My Colon!" New York Times Best Seller.

As I’ve posted before, I didn't go down during the first procedure. I was still conscious and quite awake when the doc was about to start the procedure, even though they gave me the whole dose. The doc said he might as well turn the monitor around then so I could see what he was doin’. And yes, it was quite interesting to watch, actually. No discomfort whatsoever, and absolutely no polyps that time, and he told me to come back in 10 years. When I reminded him my grandfather died of colorectal cancer he said to make it 5 years.
For the second procedure I inquired about the anesthesia and was told they had new and better stuff...indeed they did, as I was comepletely zonked for that one...!!!!!

yeah, I dunno... just playing devils advocate.

I went to one game of my niece's softball tournament today. Her team is really good and might end up winning. But I can only handle 1 of the games. The game was going along fine and then there was an accident on 1st base. A girl from the opposing team rant into a girl at first base, she was out but as she hit the girls hit hard and the girl that had batted ended up flipping twice in the air and landing hard on the ground! They called an ambulance for her which took forever to come (it was in a rural town so a volunteer ambulance/fire dept.), and they figure the girl probably broke her collarbone. I felt really bad for the girl, but thankful it wasn't m niece. I am also surprised that I actually saw it, I tend to zone out at baseball/softball games. But I was actually watching my niece pitch and it happened off of one of those pitches.

Looks refreshing!

Guess where....

 

[donaldtoo]

And she still found time to shop!

Yes. Truly an amazing child, indeed...!!!!!!!

It just amused me that they made of point of labeling it "vegan" and calling them "veggie fries", like standard fries aren't vegan.

Oh no! The poor girl! That must be extremely painful. I wonder how they treat that because you can't really put a cast on the collarbone.

Walt passed 6 months after I graduated from High School and was in College.

I'll take the Ducati thanks. Those other two are

 

[donaldtoo]

May I have one of those mints, please? You'll still have 3 left.

Wintergreen or spearmint, as I just have wintergreen, but, I have access to spearmint, too ...?!

Ha! I was zonked, too! (Actually, all three times I've had that test. No way I want to watch it on a monitor!)
