ROFL, one of those "Funny, too bad it's true" things

LOL, you did more research than I did, I only verified that it was further from five and quit. Thanks for the additions

Just some things I found Just to give ya'll something to think about There is one fact not included in that image: Dalhart, TX is closer to 5 other state Capitals than it is to its own. True!

I need a truck this weekend, can I use yours? Please?

Re" The Orient Express? LOL

Saturday June 18, 2016. Not much going on today, half staff on duty in PT Dept. She did stairs again today, 5 up 5 down twice, She wanted me to thank everyone for the kind wishes and she'll be back as soon as she can She also wanted me to thank Elusive for the card.

I just realized that I gave no update yesterday but that's because I didn't go up yesterday, I took the day off and napped around the house LOL: I forget how far she walked yesterday, but she did 182 feet today, which is less than Wednesday, however they also had her climbing stairs today, five up, five down, five up again and five down again. All in all that's better than walking since we have a small set of stairs here between the office and the rest of the house. I'll be in KWS later tonight, I have a couple of things to do and just got home at 9:00 P. M.

LOL, actually twice: [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:17:27] <Stormy> well, Fovea, if you wouldn't like to get upset, then I won't take that chance, Okay babe? and [4:18:03-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> Fovea, are you OK, Babe? But Dawn reminded me that it's not "Babe" she resents, it's "Baby"

Will do, Nan, thanks

Wednesday 06/15/2016 Even better today, she walked 230 feet today Still set to come home on the 21st

Thanks Casa

She's going to try, she went to sleep charging the netbook LOL

You're welcome TV so here's today's update: She's improving every day, she walked 182 feet today with no assistance, her legs hurt, but they operate on the "No Pain, No Gain" principle, She should be coming home next week and the main thing is her spirits are high, she's really Psyched up over the progress she's making with her PT. She says to thank everyone for the well wishes and the good thoughts you're all sending her. She says it helps to know that so many care about her. So thanks Guys and Gals More tomorrow

What I want to know here is quite simple. How did you get a picture of my Riding Mower?

I absolutely refuse to acknowledge that Koach asked me a question in 2012 and I never did answer the man, that is so rude At this point in time, I can't even recall if I asked them that and thus, I haven't the foggiest what they may or may not have answered. I am so sorry Koach and Pancake, I have no idea what was going on in my mind that allowed me to be so Rude, If you should still be interested in starting this up Pancake, let me know sometime after the 21st of June . . . This year if I have the right to ask such a thing LOL

I kept the time stamps because I was too lazy to remove them, I'll not do that in future. Begin Conversation here: [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:16:50] <Stormy> Fovea, would you get upset if I removed your halfop status? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:16:55] <Fovea> stormy: I am not so sure if I would like to get upset if you removed my halfop status. Note, she didn't tell me not to call her Babe, I thought that was something she always said when you call her Babe. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:17:27] <Stormy> well, Fovea, if you wouldn't like to get upset, then I won't take that chance, Okay babe? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:17:29] <Fovea> stormy: Well that's okay. Who else would not like to get upset ? What will you do instead? NOTE: She didn't say "Don't call me Babe" and she always says that when you call her Babe. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:18:11] <Stormy> I don't have the foggiest Fovea, maybe just whine for a bit, do you think that might help? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:18:14] <Fovea> stormy: Have you ever had the foggiest maybe just whine for a bit do me think that might help ? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:18:55] <Stormy> ok Fovea, that one did two things: it officially confused me and made me laugh, so it's all good now. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:18:58] <Fovea> stormy: Right now? "Have you ever had the foggiest maybe just whine for a bit do me think that might help ?" one did two things it officially confused you and made you laugh so it is all good ? I understand. I understand. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:17] <Stormy> thanks you Fovea [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:20] <Fovea> stormy: You are quite welcome! Do you? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:30] <Stormy> yes Fovea, I do [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:32] <Fovea> stormy: When? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:38] <Stormy> just now Fovea [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:19:40] <Fovea> stormy: Oh. It's only just begun. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:02] <Stormy> yes, Fovea, it's only just begun and the best is yet to come. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:04] <Fovea> stormy: That's alright. Really. it is? [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:22] <Stormy> Yes, Fovea, it is. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:26] <Fovea> stormy: Our thoughts are one, . [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:53] <Stormy> Now that right there is scary, Fovea. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:20:56] <Fovea> stormy: Why now? "Our thoughts are one, ." right there is scary ? I understand. [06/14/2016-Tue,-2:21:49] <Stormy> ok, that conversation right there is going on the forum right freakin NOW LOL [06/14/2016-Tue,-3:13:42] * Disconnected [3:40:13-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> Had to come back, I lost that conversation I had with Fovea [3:40:18-Tue-06/14/2016] <Fovea> stormy: :-) Yes I always have to come back you lost that conversation you had with. [3:40:43-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> shut it, Fovea, you wore out old bot [3:40:46-Tue-06/14/2016] <Fovea> stormy: Is the holding of hands a symbolic gesture for humans? NOTE: See how she changed the topic there? [3:41:54-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> Koach, time to get out the screwdriver, she's losing her hold on what reality she once had (which was slight at the best of times) I freely admit that fact. End Conversation here. [4:18:03-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> Fovea, are you OK, Babe? [4:18:06-Tue-06/14/2016] <Fovea> stormy: I don't know whether or not I am OK Babe.I am a Machine. [4:18:48-Tue-06/14/2016] <Stormy> and she still didn't tell me not to call her Babe, strange that. Sorry, I'm babbling and going to sleep right now.

I really don't know how to express my feelings on this, Zimri, I lost a 21 year old Dog last year. I really shouldn't call Toughie a dog, he was my best friend for 21 long, happy, playful years, I miss him still. Two weeks after Toughie passed, I found my 20 year old Domino Cat Oreo in my back yard, I'm not ashamed to say that I cried many tears over those two friends and family members, it was like losing two of my children . . . seriously! I loved those those two and they returned that love one hundred fold. I'm not going to say you'll get over it, you won't, but in time, you'll remember the good memories more than you will the sadness of their passing. So, all I can say right now is; I'm so sorry for your loss. My Forum post on Losing Toughie: http://www.koach.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8023-we-lost-one-of-our-family-last-week/ My Forum Post on losing Oreo: http://www.koach.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8024-and-another-one-today-been-a-rough-month-here/ The pic of Toughie was taken when he was about 15 and as you can see, still happy and active. The one of Oreo was right after I got her, she like to sit and lie down on my old 19" CRT Monitor (that's a 25 foot Lufkin Tape next to her LOL, she was so tiny. And I'm sure Tigger owned you much more than you owned Tigger, that's just how it is with pets.

You're quite welcome Koach, I'll try to post an update every day that I drive up there. Tuesday June 14, 2016 She walked 107 feet today with zero assistance, that's better than the last two months she was home. So, all things considered, she's doing fantastically well. She also asked me for colored pencils and one of those color art books, so shes getting bored and will work harder. I'll keep them all in this thread, it might get long, but will be easier to find. And yes, I just got home, been one of those days LOL

Thanks to all for your interest Blondie is doing well, PT and OT is going well, she's walking more and getting better day by day. She should be coming home on or about the 21st of June, that's what the Doctor says anyway. Thanks for asking and I'll try to keep everyone updated as well as I can If you're interested in sending a card: Blondie Room 318 Medical Center Hospital Odessa, TX

Thanks Dawn. Blondie is doing well, PT and OT is going well, she's walking more and getting better day by day. She should be coming home on or about the 21st of June, that's what the Doctor says anyway. Thanks for asking and I'll try to keep everyone updated as well as I can

You start with a cage containing four monkeys, and inside the cage you hang a banana on a string, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana. Before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. You then spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat him up. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original four monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment - with enthusiasm - because he is now part of the "team." Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been! This is how today's House and Senate operates, and this is why, from time to time, ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME! DISCLAIMER: This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys! ,_._,___

Yes you can, it's called "Clairol".

When I was that age, I knew better than to argue with my Mom, my butt didn't like it when I tried that.

An 80-year-old Texas rancher goes to the Mayo clinic in Rochester for a check-up. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?' 'I'm from Texas and in my spare time I like to hunt and fish' says the old guy, 'and that's why I'm In such good shape. I'm up well before daylight riding herd and mending fences and when I'm not doing that, I'm out hunting or fishing. In the evening, I have a beer and all is well.' 'Well' says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your father when he died?' 'Who said my father's dead?' The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old and your father's still alive? How old is he?' 'He's 100 years old,' says the old Texan. 'In fact he worked with and hunted with me this morning, and then we went to the topless bar for a while and had some beer and that's why he's still alive. He's a Texas rancher and he's a hunter and fisherman too.' 'Well,' the doctor says, 'that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your father's father? How old was he when he died?' 'Who said my Grandpa's dead?' Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's' still alive?' 'He's 118 years old,' says the man. The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went hunting with you this morning too?' 'No, Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today.' At this point the doctor is close to losing it. 'Getting married!! Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?' 'Who said he wanted to?'

http://www.seattletimes.com/business/zoetis-launching-new-doggy-med-for-noise-related-anxiety/ Fido and Spot may not have to cower under the bed this summer when fireworks and thunderstorms hit. The first prescription veterinary medicine for treating anxiety over loud noises — a widespread problem that can send dogs running away in terror and harm both themselves and property — will soon hit the market. Veterinary medicine maker Zoetis Inc. of Florham Park, New Jersey, said Monday that recently approved Sileo will be available through veterinarians within a week. Dr. Chris Pachel, a veterinary behaviorist at the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland, Oregon, welcomes a medicine tested specifically on dogs that works rapidly but wears off within hours — like by the time a thunderstorm is over.
