Title: It May be a new month, who knows
Post by: Delmonico on April 30, 2021, 11:41:15 PM: Well at least in a few minutes here. Wife went shopping today and drug home a rose bush, more on that saga later. ;)

I’ll let you know how the first stage goes. I’m scheduled for the 13th, then 6 or so weeks for recovery/healing/measuring for the dentures. I’ll still have uppers and lowers between my incisors, so I guess I get to eat like Bucky Beaver for a while. Those will get to come out after they get the dentures ready.

I have a gag reflex that just won’t quit, so I get to take a nap while they do the extractions.

I know from where you speak. This June will mark the fifth year of the passing of a very close friend (the ol’ Italian “gas passer” insisted I call him DAD, as he was to me) so I mark his birth date and passing at his favorite local’s casino when he came over here from Oregon to Reno. A salute, and a snifter of Grand Marnier. Always try to get the same seats we sat in when he was last here. Traditions are a very good thing!!

I'm afraid I might have something looming in my near future. My wife is out shopping with her friend and may be heading for Big Box hardware stores and garden shops. ::) I don't think I have to worry about a new rosebush (as we have three already), but she keeps talking about a new ponderosa pine tree for the back yard. :o :o I don't think this 70 year old back can dig a hole that size, let alone lift that sucker to get it in the hole. Once it's there I think I'll let her back fill it. ::) ::)

Tell me about it! ::)
I just spent two hours tracking down the location of the house of a Great Aunt on my fathers, mothers side of the family. She lived in the small town of Cassopolis MI. We used to go there every other year for Thanksgiving, when I was about 14. The alternate years the MI side of the family came to our side of the pond in WI.
Don't lnow why I got the bug to find it, but it just came over me! :-\

Post by: Major 2 on May 02, 2021, 04:25:20 PM: 2018 was my 50th High School Reunion, I was thinking about going :-\

It was large Class of 1968 , I looked at the list of RSVP's and only recognize 3 names out about 230 or so ( and that was only about 25 % of the entire graduating class)
I figured , I did not have any association or memories of any of them ( the 3 were just acquaintances passed in the hallway maybe or a class or 2 )

I had moved away from Miami 33 years ago.... lost touch with my school friends years ago and some had passed ...so I did not sign up for @ $280 a night hotel room (two nights).
Now kinda sorry I did not go.... in 2020 The class planned a 70th BD Class Cruse. That failed because of the WooHoo Covid .

Still kinda nostalgic .... but Eh ! I would have little in common with those I did not know anyway

It'd be different if it was small Class, small town thing ... but my Senior Class was 970 +

I made through step one of my new mouth. Out of 20 extractions I had done that was leaking after I got home. It of my upper right wisdom tooth (as inaccessible as it can get). Called the Dr. and went back in, after some applications of a topical blood coagulant (or some think like that), everything is sealed up, and fine. :) :) Next step, the follow up visit is the 24th, then it’s back to see the dentist for denture fitting.
So far, it’s been almost 24 hours since the procedure, so the original pain killed should have worn of long ago, but so far, no pain (knock on wood). :o :o Just taking antibacterial pills at this point. We’ll see how long this lasts! ;) ;)
Took a while for the swelling to go down sufficiently, but I'm now on Ensure and cottage cheese. Will work my way up from there after a few more days, when they say I can brush, and rinse with a syringe they gave me.

No trouble finding it, one of the things in Omaha I can find right off, was looking for something on the way home and let the navigator do the stuff, I've said it before and I'll say it again, they reason some men don't stop and ask directions is a woman might try to give them. ::) :o All right hand passengers in left hand drive cars should be able to read a map and give proper directions to the driver, if a right hand drive car then the left hand passenger should be able to do the same. Any not capable should have to ride other than the passenger compartment either in the rumble seat, trunk or top rack, which ever said vehicle is equipped with, in the case of a pick up then the box will serve well. :P
