Tuesday's Run Around

Well it is Tuesday and I will be running around all day.

Up at 6am to get Himself up, had a coffee, of course he couldn't have one this morning, shame! I enjoyed mine!

Off to the hospital to take him in ready for his small operation on his toe, maybe two toes. Got to the hospital at 7am, all the patients were ushered into a small room whilst they sorted the bed situation out. Wouldn't you know it they had an influx of emergencies through the night!!!!

Himself being Himself said if they don't do the operation today then he just wont have it done!!!!

Back home to walk the dog, do some ironing and then off to the shops before taking Mr Milo to the vets at 12 to get his stitches out, told Himself not to ring for collection till after Milo has been the vets, I mean you have got to get your priorities right haven't you!!!!!

Himself rang me at 10 am they have just moved him onto a ward and into a bed!

Yeah Mr Milo was very brave and had all his stitches out, he was so good, I have promised him a good run this afternoon! Still got swelling on his side, should go down in the next couple of weeks.

Oops Himself rang me, guess what? They have just cancelled his operation! Yep great stuff isn't it! He has been at the hospital just over five hours, after waiting 18 months for this op and it gets cancelled! So he now says he will NOT have the op done at all!!!

Oh well it's 2pm and all the running around is done with now!

I Finally Done It

Yes I have finally done it, what you done I hear you say! I have successfully installed wireless networking on my laptop/notebook, they are the same but some call it a laptop and some a notebook, at least I think that's all that is different.

I ordered a wireless router and the instructions says, easy to install, installs in five minutes! Well it may be easy to install if you are computer literate but not when you are 46 and not very good with such things. Gosh did I just tell you all that I am 46, well disreguard that!!!! Oh well go one then I admit it I am 46!!!!

It has taken me two attempts to install the wireless router onto both the desktop and the laptop and the hours I put in are unmentionable!!!

Then because the laptop has not been connected to the Internet for months I had to install windows updates by the hundred! Not only that I also needed to install Windows Service Pack 2, which in turn crashed the Laptop, I had to phone for help and restore factory settings, so it was back to square one!

I am pleased to say that I eventually got the laptop working, and that a very nice man is going to install the WSP 2 onto it for me!!!

So soon I will be able to sit downstairs, watching tv and blog at the same time.

Mr Milo is doing really well he has finished his anti-biotics and has his stitches out on Tuesday, so its out with the stitches for milo and in with the stitches for Himself!!

Himself has to have a small operation on a couple of toes! They have to take off a few lumps and they also want to fuse his joints and cut his tendons, that is what is supposed to be happening. What they don't know is that Himself does not want all this to be done, he says that they can remove the lumps and that is all!!! So watch this space for updates after Tuesday!!!

Right then I am off to phone a man who can get my laptop installed with the bits and pieces that it needs.

Bye for now x

For the Women, what has yet to come!

For years and years they told me,
Be careful of your breasts.
Don't ever squeeze or bruise them.
And give them monthly tests.
So I heeded all their warnings,
And protected them by law.
Guarded them very carefully,
And I always wore my bra.
After 30 years of astute care,
My gyno, Dr Pruitt,
Said I should get a Mammogram
"OK," I said, "let's do it."
"Stand up here real close" she said,
(She got my boob in line),
"And tell me when it hurts," she said,
"Ah yes! Right there, that's fine."
She stepped upon a pedal,
I could not believe my eyes!
A plastic plate came slamming down,
My hooters in a vise!
My skin was stretched and mangled,
From underneath my chin.
My poor boob was being squashed,
To Swedish Pancake thin.
Excruciating pain I felt,
Within it's viselike grip.
A prisoner in this vicious thing,
My poor defenseless tit!
"Take a deep breath," she said to me,
Who does she think she's kidding?!?
My chest is mashed in her machine,
And woozy I am getting.
"There, that's good," I heard her say,
(The room was slowly swaying.)
"Now, let's have a go at the other one."
Have mercy, I was praying.
It squeezed me from both up and down,
It squeezed me from both sides.
I'll bet SHE'S never had this done,
To HER tender little hide.
Next time that they make me do this,
I will request a blindfold.
I have no wish to see again,
My knockers getting steam rolled.
If I had no problem when I came in,
I surely have one now.
If there had been a cyst in there,
It would have gone "ker-pow!"
This machine was created by a man,
Of this, I have no doubt.

How to practise for a mamogram!

Then there is the medical!

nothing else to say!!!

Mr Milo is very SAD

Happy days out chasing my ball and rolling in the grass, when will I be this happy again?


You see I had a few lumps, a small one on my shoulder, a long black dangling one on my tummy and this big lump on my side.Well I don't have them anymore the nasty vet did cut them all out on friday, this was the big lump, think I prefer the lump to this scar.
the tiny one on my shoulder has gone too
so this is why I am sad, don't I look sad?

I can't get comfortable, I keep walking round and round in circles, my mummy is sad too. I will only lie down if my mummy stays with me, and I can't go for a proper walk for 10 days, they say I have to stay on my lead, no chasing the ball or running with my friends.

I don't feel like eating so mummy has bought me some chicken to tempt me, I might just manage that!

Oh well I hope next time I speak I will be feeling better, bye bye for now, not got the energy to bark!

Get Cappy a Bird

For those of you who already know Cappy will know that he has got a problem. Yeah we know about that!!!!

Ok Cappy has a birthday coming up and he would like his wife to buy him a bird. A bird for a married man I hear you cry, and one that his wife is going to supply, shock horror I hear you all shouting!!!

No, no don't go away its a special bird he wants, the feathered variety and not just any bird, a Cockatiel.

Well the deal is his wife said NO! So Cappy has made an appeal and has set up a petition, but there is a BUT, Cappy's wife has told him if he can get 50 people to sign his petition she will buy him a bird for his birthday!!! Now, now have been down that line its a Cockatiel, so to help a fellow blogger please take just a minute and pop over to here http://cappywantsacockatiel.blogspot.com and add your name.

Thanks

Come Fly with Me

This is the bi plane I went onNotice the 'step' ladders used to board Mmmm do you really start it like this!!

Checking the petrol tank!Do you like the seats, there is only eight Complete with emergency exit, in the roof, just pull the ring to activate!


This is how close I was sat to the Pilot!


And we are air borne!

Wonderful views over the moors and reservoirs




Coming in to land

Well that was one fun day out, we flew over my house but I wasn't quick enough to get a photo. Average speed was 110 miles, and a height of 2,500 feet, a trip well worth the money.

This and that

Not a lot to talk about, just a bit of this and that.

Good news is that our girl over at 'life or something like it' is back, boy haven't we all missed her!! And our mate Cappy is out of hospital, after worrying us all on his disappearance, and any one who is faint hearted just DO NOT go and look at the photos, man how he has coped with that I just do not know, lets hope that he is soon on the mend.

Have just booked a classic flight for me and himself, we will be flying in a vintage eight seat de Havilland Rapide bi-plane from Sheffield Airport, the flight will follow the route of the World War II Dambuster runs, when Lancaster bombers practised dropping the bouncing bombs over the Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs. How cool is that! This is a photo of the plane we will be flying in!

I enjoy reading, have done since I was a nipper, always take a book to bed with me, it helps me unwind and relax clearing the mind of the days happenings. Tend to read family sagas, you know Catherine Cookson, Margret Thornton, Elizabeth Waite and biography's etc.

Well Kell - 'tis herself', did a book review of 'Tell No One' by Harlan Coben, the book sounded really good so off I went to the local library to get me a copy. Couldn't get it but did get 'Just One Look' also by Harlan Coben. What a great read, it is something that I just wouldn't have thought about so thanks Kell.

Trouble is as I said I read in bed, usually for about an hour or so, but this book was just gripping I couldn't put it down, I was still awake and reading at 2 o'clock and I have to get up at 5!!! Well the book is finished and I will be going back to get some more of his books, might not read them in bed though!!!!

Oh and I have passed the 100 mark, and I don't feel a day older than 99, this is my 101 post!

That's all of this and that for now!

Blondes

Ok I did something really silly the other night I got very, very drunk, which, beleive it or not is just not like me, especially as it was a work day the next day, which I might say now didn't happen!!! The thing is when I get drunk I tend to ring everyone up, so if I rang you I am sorry and if I didn't ring you I am sorry!!! So that being a stupid blonde moment thought I would share some blonde jokes!

Two Blondes With Hammers...
Carol and Donna, were doing some carpenter work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in.
Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?"
Carol explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end and I throw them away."
Donna got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie?
They had gone to see "Closed for the Winter."

A blonde hurried into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off.
"How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her.
"Well, I was trying to commit suicide," the blonde replied.
"What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting off your finger?"
"No, Silly" the blonde said.
"First I put the gun to my chest, and then I thought, 'I just paid $6,000.00 for these implants. I'm not shooting myself in the chest."
"So then?" asked the doctor.
"Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought, "I just paid $3,000.00 to get my
teeth straightened I'm not shooting myself in the mouth."
"So then?"
"Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: "This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger.

A blonde was driving home after a game and got caught in a really bad hailstorm.
Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop.
The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun.
He told her to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out.
So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tailpipe. Nothing happened. So she blew a little harder, and still nothing happened.
Her blonde roommate saw her and asked, "What are you doing?"
The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out .
The roommate rolled her eyes and said, "Uh, like hello! You need to roll up the windows first."

A blonde was shopping at Target and came across a shiny silver thermos.
She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was.
The clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos..... it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold."
"Wow, said the blonde, "that's amazing....I' m going to buy it!!
"So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day.
Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that," he asked?
"Why, that's a thermos..... it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold the blonde replied.
Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?"
The blond replied..... .."Two popsicles and some coffee."

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out.
Her boss asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?"
The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away."
The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "Why don't you go home for the day?
Take the day off to relax and rest."
"Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here."
The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual.
A couple of hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically.
"What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" he asks.
"No!" exclaims the blonde. "I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too!"

Words

The following are list of words and phrases that have a unique meaning in the female vocabulary!
Fine - This is the word woman use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Five Minutes - If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
Nothing - This is the calm before the storm. Nothing means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
Go Ahead - This is a dare, not permission. Whatever it was you were going to do, don't do it.
Loud Sigh - Not a word but a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. It means she thinks you are wasting her time standing here and arguing about nothing (which is a very different nothing to the one listed earlier)
That's Okay - This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's ok means she is thinking long and hard about how you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks - A woman is thanking you. Do not question, do not faint. Just say "You're welcome"
Whatever - Is a woman's way of saying "This converstaion is terminated."
Don't worry about it, I'll do it - Another dangerous statement meaning a woman is now having to do a task she told a man to do several times - and is not very happy about it. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong."
So there are the woman's meaning, but hang on, men don't get away that easy!
Men's innocnent words and phrases.
Fine - That is what men say when you ask them how you look when you are dressed to the nines.
In a minute - Translation - I'll do it when I'm good and ready.
Nothing - The standard reply when you ask him how much he's drunk/eaten or what he's been doing when he arrives home late for his tea.
Go Ahead - It is usually the phrase he comes out with when there's a holiday or a night out you want to book but he can't be bothered to even think about. You might think his go ahead gives you full permission, but it doesn't. All it does is land you with the blame if whatever you booked was rubbish.
I'm Thinking Of Buying - Whatever it is he's already bought it. This is just his way of conning you into thinking your opinion is being considered.
How Much? - What he replies when you tell him what your recent purchase "only" cost. Or the price tag on that thing you want him to get you for your birthday.
I'm not wearing/doing/saying THAT - This is usually said in a school boy like defiance when you're trying to give him a carefully considered piece of advice.
I'll only have the one pint - This is a pacifier. Don't be fooled.
I'll only watch the highlights - Same as above.
Haven't you got anything else to wear? - What he says when you are dressed to the nines and he doesn't think you look fine.

This was in the local evening paper and I thought I would share it with you all, and I bet you have all got words and phrases that you could add to it!
