USMB Coffee Shop IV

Good morning everybody. I slept in my bed last night for the first time in almost two weeks--have been sleeping mostly sitting up on the couch because of this bad shoulder. I got a great night's sleep but the shoulder is really hurting this morning. We'll see how it goes. Probably tomorrow morning will give in and go to urgent care and see what's up with it.

So where is everybody? The Coffee Shop has been pretty deserted the last couple of days.

I thought only guys suffered needlessly to avoid medical care. I know I do but You Mama Fox, for shame...

Yeah I know. But I honestly thought it was getting better. But oh well.

Noomi’s Auntie Marj,
The Ringels in difficult transition,
Mrs. BBD's knee,

Noomi!!!
Ringel for wellness, rest, healing, and extra strength,
Nosmo's mom,
Mrs. Ernie,
Foxfyre's sprained shoulder,

All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,
And all others we love and hold in concern.

And the light is left on for Freedombecki, Againsheila, Spoonman, Alan1 and all the others who we miss and hope to return.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.

Perhaps I should post that at Doc's.

So, The cabbie that dropped off the very lucky patron at Doc's 2 weeks ago, brought me a present tonight. THIS is the knife the guy was reaching for when he came at me and when ordered to the ground by police a few minutes later.

Yes that is a quarter on the blade.

 

[Gracie]

Dayum!

 

[Ernie S.]

Tell me about it. I've sat down with a couple cops discussing how it feels to have come so close to ending someone. It's quite sobering.

*best Paul Hogan imitation*

That's not a knife............well, OK, yes, that's a knife.

And this is what he saw.
As they say, bringing a knife to a gun fight is a bad idea

Mornin' everyone. I now know which machine and what pressure will work for me. Should be able to pick one up at the VA in no more than a week. Just got up a little bit ago, fed the cats and having my first pot of coffee.
Was playing in the FZ, set up a Self-Interference (Self-Awareness) as a Paradigm trap (psych experiment) caught two posters in it that are anything but happy with me right now........ Oops......
We all claim that we are aware we're imperfect but every one of us hate to be shown we're imperfect and generally react negatively (defensively) in those situations especially when our fallacies are in an area we have built justifications around.
Yup, I can be a real stinker sometimes........

Stinker? Maybe a new deodorant?

 

[saveliberty]

I become more self aware during a hairball...

Good morning everybody. Letting the Ibuprofen kick in and get the pain level down so I can tolerate a shower and getting dressed to go to urgent care. Yep, I'm going to do it.

I had the electricians in today and it was not half as bad as I thought it might be. The came at 8.30 AM and finished all the work by 4 PM. They even cleaned up after themselves.

 

[Bonzi]

Oh, we just saw what we are doing here today?

Ummm... coffee, food, work, work, probably TV / baseball later. listen to a lot of complaining and be bored and when I'm bored, come on here. Tomorrow? most likely a repeat!

Try to break it up with snacks.

Oh I do do that.. but instead of regular snacks I have a bowl of Cincinnati 3-Way!

True. He didn't come at me too fast but had closed half the distance before he stopped.
