Guess what - had a good day today - nothing mind blowing - just got the hair done finally and went shopping - everyone seemed great. Happy enough to open the old laptop and speak with you lovely guys - How was your day?

Hmmm.I had an epidural a week or so ago and I have had a "spinal headache" all week- they created a leak (accident) in my spinal fluid and my brain hasn't had enough fluid around it- my soft little brain has been bumping against 'rocks" (my skull) all week- oooch! and nauseating! Guess that's the end of the line for trying to ease the back pain that way.

Empathize completely..had two epidurals and have had several of what you are having...sadly we are not having what Sally was faking in 'When Harry met Sally' but I digress...love ya Doc, hang in there babe! xox

Sorry to hear this doolittle - I had two epidurals on my back which failed didn't get the right spot - fortunately did not experience what you have - Oh my some accident - take care of you. I will probably have yet another epidural in the future - hope this accident does not occur poor you sounds just awful. I have given up on medical care here and does not help my state of mind. Hope you feel better and take care.

Dear ROMOS - thank you so - raining? it's pouring and is to continue overnight as they say nice weather for ducks - take care you. Just to add - Oh and how great would I feel if I lived in Bonnie Scotland. Do you know this laptop keeps playing up - since they sent me this new router PLUS turns out to be definitely MINUS but I pay extra for this - I didn't set it up until after my Mamma died and then rang the company who of course said we will send an engineer - and of course wanted me to pay - Having sent a brand new old router back plus the older one and no support with the plus the engineer agreed that I should not pay, but just connect the wire which makes it wireless - still plays up - I will have to get onto them yet again so frustrating - and no I am not telling you this for help - just well you know.

They are also called horse chessnuts,and you make a small hole though the centre of them,put a bit of string through,and then hit the other guys conker,to break it,the more you can knock out
,makes you have the best conker,until it gets shatted,

Tuesday: Up at 6:30 to be at work at 8. Any excuse to get up and walk around taken; this afternoon I went to the post office and took a circuitous route to get some iced tea. Working on little projects, trying to keep busy. Did get a letter off to my son. Home to kick back for half and hour, eat some leftover ribs and garlic-bleu cheese bread ( YUM); then off to bowling league and games of 215, 169, and 189. Our team won 3/4 tonight; one teammate had a personal best 189 game and another teammate had his bowling ball gouged to the point of needing to be replaced. Now I'm home, saying HI to YOU. It's fun to read what everyone has been doing.
Thanks for asking, Poppy!

Oh my west-bus - missed your posting - would you believe only opened this laptop today and then spend ages deleting off all the junk until I went onto here. So very kind and sensitive of you as always. I would like your e-mail address but not sure that Colleen would give it to me or how to get it. I will try though but would have to feel better as things are just so very overwhelming at the moment and no way would I wish to impart all this onto you. Oh and what was yesterday - I am going to guess here YOUR Birthday - if so hope you had all the fun Oh my just checked your profile and No it was not your birthday - whatever it was hope it was fun or worked out for you and yes I would like to know. I am trying to surface and will contact Colleen ASAP. Many thanks again and take very good care of you.
