Here is another one. I just purchased a Ronco Product!

The ever classic Pocket Fisherman for my son who likes to fish in the stream out behind our house. Given the pocket fishermans portability and ease of use it seemed like a good idea. Plus I got two for one! Woo hoo!

I'm not sure that solves your porn dilemma.

The wonders never cease.

For all the malpractice, Vioxx-like disasters, and wildly speculative/inaccurate information disseminated by main stream media, modern medicine's been getting a bad rap recently. But every once in a while, you're reminded of just how far things have come and continue to come.

If my dad had gone through what he's been through over the past 8 months even 5 years ago, he would almost certainly be blind (at best) by now. Untreated diabetes (leading to macular degeneration), near-fatal cellulitis, and a stroke in the vision region of his brain left the future blurry, so to speak. This for a man whose greatest passions are reading, writing, and photography. Doctors were giving him pretty long odds to even stop further deterioration.

But, back from his latest checkup, he's actually seen improvement in both eyes thanks not only to laser treatment, but experimental injections for the macular degeneration. And now that it's been over 6 months since the stroke, he's been cleared to begin further treatments with another injection that has shown even more promising results in correcting degeneration than the one he's already been getting (stroke risk is one of its side effects, so they didn't want to increase that risk until they were sure things were stable).

He's not exactly going to be taking up a career writing names on grains of rice any time soon, or even driving. But this improvement, and opportunity for further improvement, has been far more than any of us could have hoped for and will allow him to do far more of what he had planned with his retirement (namely, continue to write and edit text books, and travel as much as he can).

As you can tell, I'm much relieved to hear this latest news.

What great news GD!

Wonderful news!!!!!

So, today we started in on the garage. We pulled out about half of the stuff and separated it into piles. I made $44 off the thrift store pile with out any effort. People will buy ANYTHING if it's sitting on a lawn.

I lost my Grandmother that way ! She was siting on the front lawn next to my Bike, and someone offered me $50.00 for the Bike and accessories.

I said OK, and when I turned back round, she was gone with the schwinn.

Bravo! Someone buy that man a drink! (both of them)

Ooo, we've found mice in our garage. We've put as much as we can in Rubbermaid containers but we still have a long way to go. So many things just can't be organized together.

Sadly, I've had to toss a lot because they've chosen to live in my schtuff.

But, since Kitty, we haven't had a problem. I even caught her trying to catch a spider!! And, she catches flies, too! Wahoo!!!

Have fun finding things....
