The Front Porch Swing

[Book of Jeremiah]

Good morning everyone.

Good morning Jake, Mudflap, et al.

Feeling stiff and sore today but that is to be expected. At least I was able to walk off some of the pain and I took some ibuprofin too.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

That was some accident, Derideo! I'm glad you are alive! You might want to buy some Biofreeze for your neck, back & anywhere else you're feeling pain. It delivers cold rather than heat and works very well. I used it after a car accident once by recommendation of a chiropractor. It works.

*
Another idea is take 2 cups of epsom salts and put it in a warm bath and soak for 45 minutes. You'll find that will draw the soreness out too.

I hope you feel better soon.

Great advice.

I have biofreeze and I intend to use it right after I take that warm bath today.

You swine! How DARE you know the way to my heart? I could almost forgive you for almost getting yourself killed yesterday!

Takes more than that to kill off an old reprobate like me!

Heading off to take that warm bath now.

Good Morning, everyone. This is a rare cross-posting, but one I thought both the Porch-Swingers and the Coffee Shoppers would enjoy.

I know we have had very sad news from Bloodrock44, so I thought to publish something that is happy news as well, especially for Blood and for Hossfly.

My daughter had her 7th birthday party today and we celebrated at an American-Style bowling alley close to where I live. Three hours long, my daughter and six of her classmates were bowling gutters, splits and spares!!!

This was her birthday cake (which her mother made and it was delicious):

Cute, eh???

And my little one got a stuffed bowling pin as a present from the personnel at the bowling alley - they knows us, because we are regulars!! (Yes, Papa likes to bowl...) and now she is exhausted from hours of partying (this is serious stuff, folks) and is couching out and watching Pipi Longstocking and Taka-Tuka-Land and schmoozing with her new stuff animal:

Gotta tell you, minding 7 7-year olds for three hours is not the easiest job in the world, but they were really quite wonderful and I have never seen little kids snarf down birthday cake like these 7 did. Thank goodness I didn't turn my head away for a second...

Enjoy.

Anybody here ever work graveyard? Back in 86-93, I did. And probably twice a year I'd crash and burn.

Yesterday was no exception. I slept from 7:00 am to 7:30 pm, then watched some Who with my sister. I then slept from 10:30pm to 2:30 am. I watched two episodes of Supernatural, and then slept for at least another three hours - possibly more.

Apparently, I needed it.

I did for short periods, in the daze when I did the regular-routine thing (which I hate anyway). I wasn't a big fan of that shift; it seemed to put a dent in the day that left it wounded, where there really wasn't enough time to do anything. But I hated the second shift (3-11) more. That seemed to wipe out the whole day and leave me nothing but lonely late-night. Also maybe because that's my natural peak awareness time and I hated to waste it on work.

Now my sister, she worked rotating shifts for years. I don't know how she made those adjustments. But then she has no life so she wouldn't mind so much.

On the whole I'd rather get some hours of work in in the early morning, not because I like to get up early (I don't) but because I'm not really aware of what I'm doing yet so the time seems less wasted.

Welcome Dajjal

Pull up a rocker and would you like English tea or a pint of bitter instead?

My first real full time job was as a computer operator and yes, I worked graveyard shifts from midnight to 8 am. I only recalling crashing out once but I suspect that it was because of an allergic reaction. My girlfriend at the time was a nurse and she kept stopping by and feeding me and when I woke up 24 hours later it was the weekend. Never did find out what actually caused that lost day in my life.
