Zebra..I am with Bdiddy on this one, I would love to have seen a video of Zebra vs the Machine.

Bdiddy, wow, what exciting news about your wifes new business, she has whipped you into shape pretty well so she should be very successful

Things have been crazy busy here, not sure why, maybe it is the full moon. But, at least I can deal with crazy without getting crazy drunk

Hoping my surgery on Thursday gets rid of these headaches once and for all.

Have a great Tuesday everyone..

Yeah, I think she will do very well. She doesn't have a lot of business experience, but that is where I come in. I am helping with the marketing, business side of it and she will teach the classes. Our town has nothing like this, so I think it will go well.

So what are you having surgery on Anew? I wasn't aware. I hope you get some relief.

Good luck with your surgery Anew.

bdiddy, the new business sounds cool. It will be a lot of work, but owning your own business should be rewarding, and not just financially.

I'm gonna go battle the machine again tonite if the rain stays away. I'm a little smarter today so it should go a little better.

Zebra, please post us with the todays installment of Zebra vs Machine

Bdiddy, sounds like you and your wife are a good match to launch a new business.

I have had repeated sinus problems, and sinus migraines. I feel like I have been a slug this entire spring season. The only relief I can get is to go lay down, with the lights off
and sleep. Anyway...seems that I have a nasal bone spur, an 80 percent blockage on th right side of my sinus cavity, and a deviated septum. I know..go on and tell me how jealous you are

Zebra, I know you are on Facebook, if you are interested, some folks from my home group have started a "private" group on Facebook that we share readings, ES&H, and other recovery info.If you are interested, PM me, and I can add you to the group. Anono is a member, as well as Bdiddy. I understand though, if you would rather not, as Facebook does allow us to peer into other areas of our lives. Just thought I would mention it.

I can sympathize with your sinus issues Anew. I have had sinus issues since I was a kid. I had surgery to remove a polyp when I was in elementary school. It has since grown back but I have just kept putting it off because I don't want to go through it again. Horrible memories from the first time. I get a lot of sinus infections and when I lay down my left sinus is completely blocked. So I can relate. I will pray that everything goes well.

Zebra- yes we want another play by play of your tennis match against the machine. My money is on the machine. haha. And think about the invite from Anew. I really enjoy the group and it doesn't show up anywhere that you are a member. I didn't know Anono was on there. I wonder what her real name is?

Well, I'm back from my battle with the machine, the competition was a little closer today (since I turned down the settings). I hit 8 hoppers full of balls. Taking this thing to the courts is like taking a baby or a puppy to the park. People come up to you, "Oh how cute, what's it's name?"

Anew, I'll send you a PM.

Way to show that machine who is boss Zebra. I really should bust out my sticks this summer and try to play some tennis. I do kind of miss it.

Quite the name. So basically what you are saying is that your new tennis ball machine is a "chick magnet"? haha.

Well, Lobster is actually the name brand and since it's red with a couple of lobster icons on it, it seemed appropriate.

As far as being a "chick magnet" I'm not so sure.

So, now we can ask how Zebra V Lobster is going

Well, my surgery went well. Ends up there was a polyp along with the bone spur that wasn't visible on the ct scan. My headaches are already much better, so, I am just dealing with the icing and oozing..glad it is behind me.

What does everyone have planned for the weekend? Sadly, I am going to be fairly limited, but, plan on sitting outside some and soaking up some rays..

Glad your surgery went well, Anew. Saturday I'm going to play tennis with a human, we'll see how that goes.

The guy I played Saturday just turned 30. He beats me in the stamina department, but I held my own. He's actually easier to play against then the ball machine, he gets tired. The ball machine has an 8 - 10 hour battery life so I haven't been able to wear it down, (yet ).

Glad you are back and feeling better Anew. So how has the recovery been? I need to have a polyp removed as well but have been putting it off for years. I had it removed when I was a kid (20 years ago) and it has grown back. I am sure there have been some surgical improvements since then. I just remember it was awful. The blood after surgery would drain down my throat then I would vomit blood. Not good.

Sorry about the graphic details everyone.

Recovery hasn't been too bad. Turns out these little suckers have been causing migraine cluster headaches, so, the relief from that has been wonderful.

I read up alot and knew what to expect, so, no big surprises. I will be heading back
to work on Tuesday.
