PAGE THREE DANCE!!

I’m not a happy camper, because what I thought was some allergy sneezing last night seems to be a cold this morning.

Oh, no!

~~~Quick Recovery Vibes for ChasSmith!!~~~

Making America Great Again, using Project 2025 and both Trump's and Vance's logic, means a few rather unimaginable things.

First, when Vance refused to answer who won the 2020 election, he said he didn't want to look back, but he wants to look to the future.

That's a riot!  Those who refuse to acknowledge the past fully intend to repeat it.

Very well-said!

Agreed!!

Amazon is recommending I get socks that say “Santa’s favorite ho.”

Nice write up DR RON PULLIAM.

I have been reading the unsealed indictment that DR ELMORE posted.  It is a very interesting and damning timeline of that terrible period in our history - one that should never be forgotten.

And it should be remembered who was responsible for it.

Abso-freakin'-lutely!!

[George]

I am trying to think of the longest time I have been without power.   It might have been 10 or more days.  Four weeks is a long time.

It's been less than a week for me. I can't imagine 10 days, let alone four weeks!

[George]

As soon as Keith is done deciding which of the million photos he took this morning and posts them on FB we will hit the road again

Nice!

If your boyfriend is a techie, then you're really set to celebrate today.

My boyfriend is not a techie.

What about your husband?

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep, maybe a bit less due to restlessness.

Harvest Home by Tom Tryon would make a good movie today.

The miniseries with Bette Davis and David Ackyroyd and Rene Auberjonois and Rosanna Arquette, that was creepy as hell and has stuck with me over the years.

Tell it like it is, Ron.

Same. There are a number of TV movies and miniseries that I don't literally remember too much about - but yes, something sticks with you, and I would love to see some of them again. Maybe this one's available, I should look. I'm grateful for the ones that have been made released so far.

I loved it too.

Survived physical therapy but he wants me to do an exercise that I am supposed to stop when the pain gets to a 5. What kind of nonsense is that?

This is what it says on the pain scale

5 = Moderately strong pain. You can't ignore it for more than a few minutes. But with effort you can still work or do some social activities.

[Freddie]

The pain scale
0 = No pain.
1 = Pain is very mild, barely noticeable. Most of the time you don't think about it.
2 = Minor pain. It's annoying. You may have sharp pain now and then.
3 = Noticeable pain. It may distract you, but you can get used to it.
4 = Moderate pain. If you are involved in an activity, you're able to ignore the pain for a while. But it is still distracting.
5 = Moderately strong pain. You can't ignore it for more than a few minutes. But with effort you can still work or do some social activities.
6 = Moderately stronger pain. You avoid some of your normal daily activities. You have trouble concentrating.
7 = Strong pain. It keeps you from doing normal activities.
8 = Very strong pain. It's hard to do anything at all.
9 = Pain that is very hard to bear. You can't carry on a conversation.
10 = Worst pain possible.

Should that have been ten posts?

[John G.]

Yes.

[John G.]

5 to me is not quite kidney stone level.

[John G.]

But fast approaching it.

[Jane]

Need to get ready for physical therapy this afternoon.

I hope it went well.

Levels are hard to determine.  Just don't push it too hard.

[Jane]

Nice explanation DR Freddie.

[Jane]

5 to me is not quite kidney stone level.

I would have expected it to be higher.

Being in South Carolina under the current conditions is a revelations, of sorts.

I have long been aware I am in a red state and that my locals are all MAGA-loving Republicans.

They decry "socialism"...but now -- surprise! surprise! -- they are screaming out for it!  Yes, by all means, get those roads cleared, and get the fallen trees moved out of the way and off of cars and houses, and no matter what, get the power back on!

And yet not one of them seems aware -- or would care to admit -- that it's "socialism" that makes their recovery possible.

Bless their hearts!

Kitty cupcakes!

My big surprise today was at The Triangle where I went for lunch.

Not only did they have succulent pieces of cubed steak, but they also had gorgeous fried pork chops!

Two great entrees on one day.  Unheard of.  Remarkable.  Amazing.

So, I had cubed steak for lunch and bought the pork chop for supper.

I have been embroiled in a rather silly discussion on Facebook the past day or so, and it's come down to me fact-checking a TV meterologist in Greenville SC.

A meme has been going around showing Hurricane Helene as a Category 4 storm outdoing Hurricane Katrina which was a Category 3.

Facts are facts, and Katrina was a 5 when it slammed into New Orleans,  It quickly deteriorated into a 3 as it did its damge.

Hellene was a 4 when it slammed into Florida but rapidly decreased to a 1 as it plowed through Georgia and was a tropical storm as it came into South Carolina.

But NO...the argument is that it was a 4 while it did its damage in SC and North Carolina.  That's really not possible or we'd have been wiped off the face of the earth.  The meteorologist confirmed that it "was" a 4 but said no more about what it became.

So, it's semantics....Katrina was a 5 that degraded into a 3 when it hit.  Hellene was a 4 that degraded into a 1 just after it hit.

Let's move on.
