Congrats on the radio show Inpar! I would love to hear it also.

I am happy that Fran is finally getting moved to a room FBL. Slow and steady wins the race.

Drake, do you know why you weren't invited? I have had folks not invite me to events because they knew alcohol was going to be there and they worried about me. It might not have been a slap at you.

Hi FG!

It was, it is now unfortunately a toxic relationship. It is ok really.

^^^ Ditto.

Drake....I have a party I would love you to come to....the only reason I didn't post the invitation on the thread was because I didn't think I would be allowed....I really hope you ALL know that you are invited. (Sept 23rd).

Drake- a guy at my lunch meeting today said his parties were all booze, substance abuse and no substance. Now parties are a circle of friends with coffee and crappy biscuits and a lot of substance, like support-honesty-genuine friendship, not chemically fuelled ones.. Me too. Try not to take it personally.

Drake in more recent years I've limited toxic relationships to those I can't avoid. What this person does says more about them. Hold your head up, love. You have every reason to be proud of your ongoing recovery, focus on that and on enjoying those around you who are actually worthy of your friendship.

PM me the link please IP, I caught the last one.

I feel like I have lost about a week. I've felt so poorly with the infection I've barely left my bed let alone the house. Woke up this morning feeling less like the missing link.

I'm really sorry, Toots. That's quite an infection!

I hope this really is the end of it!

Toots, relieved to hear you are feeling a wee bit better today!

Gilmer, you are not weird and I know whereof I speak since we had that lovely lunch :-)

Drake, 'friends' like that are not real friends but it hurts to feel rejected. Building on our own strengths can help.

Have a good dat to all!

Toots- I hope you feel better soon.

feeling-good- that is cool. I hope you don't have to many more appointments to go to get the final results.

I hope everyone is having a nice day. I went to a swimming class and made ham & beans w/ cornbread. I also sewed another apron.... this time for my aunt. Nothing too exciting but at least I wasn't getting in any trouble.

Good morning Overs.

Get well soon Toots.

Mrs T and I went to a film put on by the film society last night. The film wasn't anything special but the audience were fantastic, no talking or cell phones and no crinkling sweet packets.

Have a good day everyone.

Mags,
I've read about the plastic and it is a newly discovered additional health risk from our lifestyle. Yes the old aluminum cookware is gone and only cookware with a teflon or other lining is sold today. Aluminum chlorohydrate is in anti-perspirant and poses a risk. Deodorant alone does not have it in it. https://www.bing.com/search?q=alumin...&setlang=en-US

Prednisolone helps you by suppressing your immune system which makes you more susceptible to infections like most steroids. I would question my health care provider if they prescribed an immunosupressant when I have a lung infection or any infection.
Source: Prednisone can weaken the immune system, putting you at a higher risk of infections and making if more difficult for your body to fight infections. Tell your healthcare provider if you have signs or symptoms of an infection -- such as or chills or a fever -- while you are taking prednisone. Drugs Articles well Mags.

My family and friends in Florida all are fine, thanks for asking.

Andy,
The only thing about German is with all the hard consonants and compound words they always sound angry if they are talking fast.

Sassy,
All I can say is I am sure glad I don't talk in my sleep.

FBL,
Tell Fran she's got a cheering section pulling for her fast recovery.
I really enjoyed you YouTube book presentation. You've definitely got a "radio" voice.

Mid,
It has the facial recognition that is more secure than fingerprint, and it won't recognize me unless I have my glasses the same as in the biometric picture taking. So I have to have my readers on. It's very fast.

IP,
Great, I'll be looking for the link/s.

Suze,
If you were truly normal you couldn't qualify to be n the overs. I like to think we're all bozos on this bus.
I'm glad your dinner parties are going so well.

FG,
Life sober and retired is like storage. No matter how much storage space we have, we fill it all up and it is never enough. The key is not to waste time on junk. <wink>

PJ,
Good advice.

Gil,
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish -- you know!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Emily Dickinson

Hi SG!

Drake,
Hope your friends are supportive there. Do you do any face 2 face like AA?

Toots,
Well put on not wasting time on toxic Codies. Sorry you've been punky.

How the meeting go FBL?

Mags sleep kiddo!

FG,
Keep your chin up!

Mid,
I'm getting tired just reading all your activity.

Andy,
We need more film societies. That's why we invested in a modern home theater. And at home we can pause to pop corn and do potty breaks. People today are rude, and they text as well as talk on their phones all through the movie. I've been once in the last 20 years.

Our people are all fine that were in Florida and hunkered down there for Irma. The pictures are horrific. Gangs are looting in the keys. NK and the orange moron are playing king of he hill and neither knows bupkus about leadership.

Mexico has earthquakes in the mid pacific coast, a hurricane in their NE, and we are fighting fires all over our west, and we have two areas destroyed by Hurricanes.
We're fine?
