I don't write well at all, but I seem to have a good memory of past events. I very much enjoy poking fun at myself and things I've done. If I could write a quarter as well as I remember details, I'd enjoy writing more. I generally don't like those Ohio people, especially the ones from Cambridge, but I could read GNT's posts all day.:) Scott's posts crack me up and let me know I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of self-deprecation. You're the man GNT. It's very cool to be here on the SKMB where my appreciation and admiration for Mr. King's books fit right in with other awesome fans. Thanks for the compliment Flake. Have a safe holiday.
Aww, I hear you... how 'bout a little stand-up? :smile:

Hi there peeps - I think I may need to sign off soon. I am going to force myself to go out and buy some milk as we are all out. It's minus 25 and I'm not looking forward to getting up early to go to that dentist.

I probably won't be on here Friday but if I do end up posting, please excuse any strange posts. I might be doped up by the codeine in the Tylenol 3!

Had some teeth cut out a couple of months ago. I hadn't been under anesthesia...at least medically induced anesthesia that is, in over thirty years. Here's my somewhat entertaining timeline as I remember it and as told to me by my wife. Waiting in oral surgery waiting room; watching them hook up my I.V.; asking when they were going to start the procedure as I was feeling somewhat numb; the assistant telling me I was actually in recovery and the procedure had lasted over an hour; asking the assistant if she was sure they had already cut my teeth out; noticing my cut out teeth were taped to the collar of my shirt in some weird collector's box; telling the assistant I didn't need a wheel chair to get out to my car where my wife was waiting; watching the floor zoom in and out at the speed of light when I stood up and tried to prove this; deciding a wheel chair wasn't a bad idea; telling my wife we needed to go fishing again sometime while she was helping me into our car; briefly regaining consciousness in the Wal-Mart parking lot and not knowing 1)why I was there, and 2)why I was in the passenger seat instead of the driver's seat; convincing myself that I might be Jason Bourne and had been drugged in order to get information about secret government plans; remembering I had oral surgery; watching my wife get into the car and asking her if we might be able to go fishing again sometime; my wife laughing hysterically and telling me to wipe the drool from my mouth; asking when Daniel would be learning to drive (he's 9 years old); my wife laughing more; pulling into our carport; not knowing what to do next; trying to figure out how to open the car door; not succeeding; wife opening the car door and telling me she has 90 year kidney dialysis patients who are more coherent than I am at the moment; me not understanding the reference; being on my couch; telling my wife I was going to put the laundry in the dryer; her not acknowledging; walking out to the laundry room; realizing there was no laundry in the washing machine; staring out the window in the laundry room trying to figure out the ramifications of there not being laundry in the washing machine; my wife leading me back inside the house saying I had been asleep leaning against the laundry room window for unknown amount of time while she thought I was asleep on the couch; waking up about 14 hours later feeling like I had my jaw punched by Mike Tyson. I had never actually been under medical anesthetic since having my tonsils taken out back in the 1970's. Medical anesthesia has obviously come a long way and it felt wonderful. My wife absolutely loves to tell people about her "day at the oral surgeon with my husband"......
:rofl:
That was stinkin' funny! I had similar experience bringing my husband home after a surgery. You tough guys are so funny in a helpless and clueless state.

Good Friday! Very late start today- it's almost noon. Want to wish a Merry Christmas to all who will be away next week- lots of travel and baking time.
For those who will travel, may your journey be safe.
For those who will be with family- inner peace.
For those who may be alone- you are not alone/ good thoughts are with you all.
For all who have critters- remember to ask Santa Paws to visit them too.
For the Moderators/ administrators- enjoy the off time and celebrate.

With a cup of herbal tea and off to bean bag central. All are welcome to join. The tree is decorated, the fireplace lit, all is right in this cyber corner of the world.

((((all in need or not))))

:biglove: Aww... that was so nice.

Neesy hope the dentist was a kindly one. (((Neesy)))
Rest and take pain pills.
@ghost19 just a great post. I enjoyed it.:)

I will go north by train tomorrow. I am so looking forward, too!
Of course I was busy and will be busy the next days.
But I will take the time to post at least once more before the SKMB break.

Happy Friday!
It's been a long week here. Everyone in my house has been fighting a nasty cold. :-( I think they're all mostly over it, except me. But, I'm starting to feel better...Yay! Hopefully that means no one will be sick for Christmas! No big plans, I just don't want anyone to be sick.

I hope all here who are sick are better for Christmas as well!

Have a great weekend out there! Watch out for the crazies while you do your last minute Holiday prep!

((((((((((((Everybody))))))))))

Good evening - thanks for everyone's good wishes. I must say, after all my trepidation it was not quite as bad as I anticipated. They put me on painkillers, antiseptic mouth rinse and antibiotics. I go back in one week to have the stitches removed.

Christmas will be here soon and to anyone not ready (like me!) I say try to relax and don't do too much. Gifts, food, good cheer are all important but what is more important is to be with those we love and just share a meal, a game, a TV show, maybe even a walk outdoors in the snow.

I wish everyone a stress free holiday. Good friends, good old fashioned traditional recipes and try not to imbibe too much! ;)

Thanks to all my SKMB friends - I appreciate all the good wishes and support I've received.

p.s. this is not the meds talking! :laugh: Love and green lights to all!

Good Friday everyone! I hope everyone is well, I missed you all while I was away.
It's my first full day at home and I am trying to catch up with everything here and at home. They told me not to make any major changes for a couple of months, but of course I did anyway.

I changed my hair color from blonde to this auburn that is actually a pink/red. The hell? Looks like a funky wig.

And......... I went and chose a puppy that will arrive on Christmas Eve! Biig change! I can't wait - I have been alone here too long and I am so ready. I will be an excellent mom

She is a 7 week old Golden Retriever. Adorable is not the word. She does not even look real. Her name will be Maggie Belle.

th


Merry Christmas to everyone!
