Pointless Announcements

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. Are you recovering, or is this basically permanant?

 

Merely a gentle jest, @Freeverse. It is sad that you can't truly enjoy your love for the season.

 

MS. So, unless you know something I don't about a cure, yeah. permanent. Thank you for asking though. *hug* There will be good days and bad, until they are all bad.

 

I would like to know a cure too. That would be awesome.

 

I'm not going to get too heavy in a pointless announcements thread and I'm only speaking personally about myself.
When I found out I had an incurable condition that I lost many things to, including a good career, I got depressed. I spent a year seeing a heart failure psychologist. He helped in many ways though ultimately, I realized it was me and only me that could make or break any happiness that was to come my way for *whatever* amount of time I have left. I probably drive people crazy, but every day I wake up is a good day or as I put it in another thread, a new adventure. Adventures can go many ways, but enjoying the ride is the main reason I stick around.

 

Wasn't trying to get heavy Fangirl. If you see my OP, I was quite happy, and sharing the joy in the pointless announcements thread. Some people are mildly allergic to others happiness and need to be a fun-sucker and make comments expressing their displeasure at someones happiness. I simply responded.

 

Making bagels.

It's been a while.

(Not a euphemism)

 

BAGELS ROCK!!!!!!!!

 

A friend of mine was also recently diagnosed with MS.

 

Dude, the IM flu shot does not mean that you have to put the WHOLE needle into my arm. Holy crapola. I had to have a glass of wine, just to be able to lift my arm to turn on the hot shower. Crimony fuck!
The entire parish is out of firewood. Fuck that, I'm going to Texas. I'm POSITIVE that Texas has firewood.
It's motherfucking cold and I'm damn cranky, but, hey, guess what, guys?!
I shaved a minute and forty seconds off my Baseline time in Crossfit with three weeks of yoga and two classes,
AND I did all the reps, which I'm positive I wasn't able to do last time. 500m row, 40 squats, 30 sit-ups, 20 push-ups and 10 pullups.
After the warm-up and getting skooled in doing a 1 RM push press that turned into a 10 m push press lesson. Fuckin' eh.
Welcome to my train of thought... it's frequently derailing. And obviously an Amtrak.
Booyah.

 

Yep, we're known for our abundant wood here in East Texas.

/but seriously

 

Lol, @Fremen. I'm going to try to run to Orange tomorrow. I'm already spiking a fever from my flu shot. But, I make a freaking awesome hot toddy. If I'm not delirious, I'll be in Orange tomorrow, briefly, to find some good Texas FIRE wood. Any suggestions?

 

I'm not too familiar with Orange, @noodle, just driven through there.

You might try a flea market/farmer's market if you can find one, or ask at a gas station or diner. They're pretty helpful.

I googled firewood in Orange and came up with this website...

Lost Coast Forest Products - Wholesale Packaged Firewood - Bundled and Packaged Firewood Products

They have prepackaged firewood, all shrink-wrapped. (believe it or not)
They supposedly sell there in Orange, according to the website. Couldn't find an address.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Btw, if you get a chance, use the Rainbow Bridge outside of Orange, if you aren't afraid of heights. It's awesome.

 

I have a garage full of chainsaws (literally), some actually run & cut, but I live in a fucking subdivision.

 

Craigslist here wanted $200 for a half cord. Stein, the ghetto fabulous zombie apocalypse home repair place, actually had some, phew!

Then I witnessed an F150 go flying across an intersection of two five-lane roads on the wrong side, doing about 40 mph or so, and slam into a Dairy Barn. There was no visible driver and the truck never swerved or slowed. Apparently he was laying down across the front seat. Possibly medical, maybe drugs. Either way, I'm still shaky. But, I gave my statement to the police, so I have good karma for the day. I'd like to go back to bed now.
