USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Big Black Dog]

The verdict is in from the doctor's office. Lab tests confirms the diagnosis of Lyme disease. At least now I know what the problem is. Started antibiotic meds.

Hopefully you caught it early enough, Dog.

Fingers crossed you get it knocked out fast and permanent

Did they find a tick on you?

I wish you a good healing, BDD.

Glad you went to the doctor and found out what you needed to know BBD. Could you listen to us a wee bit sooner next time?

 

[Gracie]

At least now you know and can get some help with it, BBD.

Just do what the doc tells you, and you'll be fine...

Today is day no. 12 of the great Stat-Princess Statalina vacation.

Yesterday, on day 11, we noticed that Princess Statalina, who had already grown 1 inch whilst on vacation with her mother, is growing again, and the shorts that I thought would hold out for one last summer are now too small. So, off we went in the morning to buy shorts. Girls and shopping. Hmmm...

3 hours later, we came home with 3 shorts and 2 shirts. Don't anyone try to tell me that gals are not born with a shopping gene, I am not buying it!

We then went swimming (cuz you know, once you have developed gills, you might as well swim every day) and for the first time, she wanted to try the 3 meter board, but did a half-belly flop and cried. Good thing I was in the water with her. Otherwise, it was grand. And that pretty full bottle of SPF 50 sunlotion? Now empty. Ok, SPF 50 goes onto the shopping list.

Afterward, she really wanted pizza, so we stopped at a pizzeria where you get to watch the guys make, form and then swing the dough into the air. She completely forgot her hunger and was enthralled by the process. And, like Papa, she loves Tunafish on her pizza. I tell you, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Well, except for that shopping gene thing. And a slight cultural thing: in Germany, one does not eat pizza with one's fingers. Even the Al Bundys of Germany use a fork and a knive. And the little one is getting pretty darned good at cutting food without it landing in the next door neighbor's lawn. Whew.

Afterward, at home, she decided to do some tricks with the dog, using a hula hoop and a cup full of doggie treats. She got her room all tidied up to put on a show and then invited me for the price of "one sent" (ok, her English spelling needs work, but I was proud that she even wrote the ticket in English) to watch. She then did the famous Statalina-Klia hula hoop show! And then, just for fun, she danced to Mannheim Steamroller. Later, while I was off and on on USMB, she was Scooby Dooing and I was cleaning up the place. This is why I am often still officially online in USMB or online at all, but not really even close to the computer...

Today, my business is opened for the 2nd and final day during vacation, so her babysitter will be spending the day with her until 17:00 and then we will all cook together. Yesterday going into today also marks the halfway point of her vacation with me. What a joy, an absolute joy. She got to bed late last night, so I am using the morning hours to compute and get ready for the day. Why, I might even shave today!!



Wishing you all a great Thursday!

My late mother in law was a war bride brought from an affluent Stuttgart family to West Virginia in 1947. She ate hamburgers and hot dogs with a knife and fork.

Quite frankly, it wouldn't bother me if I had to use a knife and fork to eat hamburgers or hot dogs. Just gimme the burgers and franks, and I'll eat em' any way you like...

Seconded! Who can you trust if it's not random people on the internet you haven't met!

LOL, just kidding, there are a lot of good people here. But it sounded funny, and my first rule in life is to go with the joke when you have it...

 

[saveliberty]

I can be trusted with minor surgery. Splinters, butterfly bandages, temporary tatoo removal, pre-ingrown toenails...

How on earth did you get Lyme disease. Do you live out in the country? Lyme disease can be very serious, hope you are able to knock it out soon.

Let the women play, I say loudly...

Yepp. Sounds about right.

VERY pretty, Mertex!! Can I come live with you? I will pitch a tipi back there in the yard and take care of it for ya.

Was just lamenting that Thursday is more than halfway over already. Wow!! Seems like I just got up and I was up earlier than usual with our house guests, Carlie the minitature dachshund. Took her awhile to settle down last night but she has pretty well figured out how to rule to the roost around here.

Now I'm pondering a culture in which pizza is not a finger food, and hoping BBD got his diagnosis early enough for the speediest and most effective cure. I am rather impressed at how many in the Coffee Shop came up with the right diagnosis.

As for today's history lesson, not much going on for August 7 throughout the millennia. One thing of note is that on August 7, 1782, President George Washington ordered the creation of the Badge of Military Merit to honor soldiers wounded in battle. It would later on be renamed the Purple Heart.
