Looking Towards Spring in Sharing 519

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's hard parenting your parents. My mom was all confused the last couple days. Thankfully my sister lives with her.

[MsJennJenn]

Thursday already. Anyone else mad at how fast time is moving? lol

 

[Nelle]

Personally glad this week is progressing quickly so Jeremy can be home to handle this dog instead of me handling her, LOL. I love her... but.. I feel like I'm watching a newborn. LOL.

Listening to a webinar for new state legislation changes to our paperwork for our projects here at work. I love how every day it seems they have a group thinking of new ways to make my job more complicated and tedious. I get that sometimes things protect groups of people - but let's think the process through and make it user friendly instead of just thinking about the law parameters. Ugh. This host sounds like dry eye commercial guy - if you remember his dry voice. LOL.

[MsJennJenn]

So my brother and his family are trying to move to Arkansas. He had another interview this morning and they offered him the job. And he has an in-person interview with another one tomorrow.

Annndd once they move...then my parents will follow lol 

6.5 hours is SO MUCH more manageable than 11-12 1/2. GLORAAY

[The Purple Fuzzy]

That's awesome, Jenn.

[MsJennJenn]

Welppp brother got a second offer from the interview he had in person this morning. YAY now they just have to sell their house in Indiana. But it's been on market for a week and they've had several viewings. His new job is in Little Rock Bobby lol.

Next up - Mom, Dad, Grams, and Gramps!  lol

Hi.
Jenn, I could've sworn I had posted asking where...but no where can I find said post. At least you answered anyway. LOL.
Just 60 miles from us.
Guys, I have been in a whole new level of hell the last few days. My shoulder is really jacked, so they prescribed an MRI, with contrast. So Friday, I got to experience that. I will die before it happens again. That needle was a foot long and when put in my shoulder joint, it was a level of pain I have NEVER experienced. And, then the MRI machine was small, and my shoulders are so wide- nothing to do with being fat according to the tech, I just have broad shoulders- the ONLY way I fit was to place my "good", not really but not as bad, arm over my head and lay in this tube with it touching every part of my body for 30 minutes.
I have hurt ever since to the point that I can barely use the arm. Couldn't put a block of cheese onto the top refrigerator shelf.  And that's literal- I tried and had to have Lou put it up.
I go the 3rd to get the results. I fully expect surgery. I'm hurting any way I go- so if I can get it fixed, I'll push through the pain. Until then, I guess I suffer and work.
Because of that incident, Saturday- I never left the house. Sunday- church. Today, left the house to get groceries, finished chey's plumbing and got her bathroom operational, just lacking a water heater for now. That put me back into a ton of pain, so I put a pot roast on for dinner and sat down. From there- I've made it to the bedroom, took more ibuprofen and am going to crash soon... getting older is not for weaklings, and apparently, I am overachieving by hitting milestones early.

Well I said wrong city anyway LOL - his new job is in Malvern... and they're going to try for a private school for the kids in Benton.

and how did you jack up your shoulder in the first place? That sounds awful.

[Nelle]

Malvern is sweet. My family lives near there in Butterfield.

[Lynx]

Bobby I was right there with you, nodding sypathetically and the whole bit... Right up until you got to the part about finishing up the plumbing.

NOOOOO! This is your golden chance to be a worthless slug and nobody will blame you for it!

Have I taught you nothing?

Worthless slug means work don't get done. I needed it fixed. LOL
Jenn the ONLY thing I can think of, about 23 years and 80 lbs ago, I was young, in shape and invincible. I arrested a 6' 3", 180 lb dude. He objected to my intentions and it was on like a Chihuahua and a Great Dane fighting. The Chi won and the Great Dane went to the pound that night, but.... the shoulder was popped out. I popped it back in, hey it's good, no issues. Now all these years later it started giving me major issues.
Not sure it the fight was the reason or if I just wore the shoulder out. I haven't exactly been easy on my body- lotsa  metaphorical dirt roads and bad decisions.
Malvern- I have a friend, Gary Ryan that pastors around there... nice place. And Benton- another close friend pastors there, so they have good churches in the area for sure.

[Lynx]

Now I am curious about something I will never find out.

If the great dane of a man found out today that his actions back then are causing you so much ongoing trouble, would he be gratified or contrite? Some people get older and wiser, but some people just get older.

My brothers childhood best friend lives in Pearcy and he's already told my bro there are lots of good churches around there. He's so excited for my brother to be close by.

Unfortunately the body never forgets LOL sorry sir that sounds rough when it aches.

It's sooo gloomy outside right now. Making me very sleepy. Hubbs Grandma is coming to town to see her aunt nearby. So she wants to take Adam to lunch. I have a call at 12 and one at 1. soooo no go for me i reckon. hoping she doesnt hit rain/weather on her way here, or when she's here. 

[Roscoe]

Pearcy..... Bro Will Culberson, I believe with Bro Anderson the bishop. Great people, great church from all accounts. We literally just got a sister transfer to our church having moved up here from Pearcy.
Finished bible study tonight. Dragging. Hurting. Oh well..

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Go check in on the "who's left" thread that Scott started.

[Roscoe]

Did. Not sure why Scott asks about shutting it down when he comes in. I've offered and so has Germ- and we have sent Jerry funds for it in the past ( He did NOT ASK, we offered) and will continue to do so... anytime I am made aware of it being renewed or needed. The history and posts/communication of past posters and friend some of whom have passed away are where the value is for me. That and keeping track of y'all still here.

[MsJennJenn]

Who knows Bobby lol.

Happy Friday. I have -45% desire to do any work today.

Hubbs got to work successfully this morning but went to bank and on way back from bank his truck died in the middle of the road. Sigh.  if it's not one thing it's another.

[Roscoe]

That's the way it be most of the time, Jenn. Today was long. I was over it long before I could escape. Came home and did nothing more than change a light bulb. Gonna snooze a bit, get up early and walk through the fall swap meet, then come home and hopefully clean up some stuff if my arm isnt hurting too much

[The Purple Fuzzy]

My friend from school's mom started having some problems not even two weeks ago. Turns out she had a mass on her brain. Her funeral is today. She went from active to just gone in less than 2 weeks.

This year has not gone as expected.

[Lynx]

Last night I picked up a bushel of jalapeno peppers at auction for 15 bucks.

I'm allergic to pain myself. But I know a lot of people who enjoy pain, I mean spicy food. So I've been handing out a lot of plastic bags this morning.

[Roscoe]

Fuzz, I'm sorry to hear that. I have a friend, Deputy Sheriff I've worked with for over 15 years. His 23-year-old married daughter had a migraine and went to the hospital two weeks ago, on a Monday. They did an MRI, found a mass, operated emergency Tuesday. She never woke up and they buried her a week after the E.R. visit. Never a sign or a clue until the migraine.
 I've been in much pain with the shoulder. I know I'm whining, but lately it's about all I can think of. 
I did get a water leak fixed yesterday that has been leaking for some time, but I had to humble myself to do it. I dug about a 1-foot square hole down to the water line...and was hurting so bad I was crying. I swallowed my pride and called my kid brother to help me. It got done, but I felt like an old decrepiit man. Chaffing because I KNEW how to fix it- but could NOT do it myself. If old age is like this the next 25 years will be rough.

[MsJennJenn]

This Monday at work as Monday'd hard. I'm over it. 

[Roscoe]

Well today was my monday. And it monday'd. Tomorrow is work/church day. ...I'm honestly looking forward to the weekend... I go Friday for the dr to read the MRI. Then got a bit to do around the house. Took the Harley to the shop so the guy can fix an oil leak. If there IS a surgery in my future it and I will not enjoy each other's company for the next several months.

[Nelle]

Jeremy & Athena went back up to WI for the last half of the week and the weekend to help out with the police K9 recert competition plus he gets to hang out with his friends. So me and Tabby are holding down the fort. Church tonight.
Tomorrow I'm getting the sensors replaced on my tires and an oil change after work - so I'll finally be able to monitor my air pressure again.
