Actually, when you have to have a 4-year-licensed driver sitting beside you ... and can't drive on the freeway ... and not between midnight and 5 a.m. either ... ... somehow, one gets the feeling that one has arrived at one's second childhood! ole joyful

Happy 89.5 Ed. And I hope we are ALL around to wish you a happy 90th. edited to add: yes you can freeze the cake. I wrap fairly large pieces (uncut) in plastic wrap or a ziploc getting as much air out as possible. Then wrap again in foil. Label and freeze. Depending on how much you have left, you could freeze multiple packages to enjoy later, just don’t wait too long or it will be dry.

ole joyful needs help - what foods need I eat to build blood back up?
Q
Comments (32)
I've fed myself for years, and solo son is here with me. They've planned a return of my visiting nurse who came about monthly to change catheters after my car died almost two years ago, I'd visited clinic for two or three years prior, I expect no ongoing need, as surgeon inserted a pipe through my prostate last fall and no catheters since, prior to the blood a couple of weeks ago. I knew how to change catheters, had done it once when a blockage, nurse not immediately available and lacked transport to hosp. urgent care. My prostate has long been large, about ten years ago when some guys were telling of their distaste for the doc putting finger up rearend to investigate, I laughed and asked, "You think you got problems - how'd you like to be your doc?"! They'd never thought about that! Sometimes if we can put ourselves into someone else's shoes for a while, it'll help us get some more neighborly view of life, and if more of us did it more often, it'd help build happier communities. Of 12 samples taken about then cancer found in 6 or 7 had 35 shots radiation, no chemo, managed without incident since, doc said he found no evidence of cancer when he put that pipe in last fall. When doc's happy - I'm happy. Prior to the surgery, when nurse called to instruct me, when she asked me to explain in own words what to happen, I said urethra yelling at prostate - "My job is to take urine to the outside world and you're squeezing so much that I can't do it - would you darn well stay in your own lane!". The nurse laughed, saying "That's the best one I've heard all day! I've gotta tell it to my friends!" I said, "Ma'am, you guys in health care have had huge pressures and stresses to deal with for over three years now and you've persisted and been there for us when we needed you, and if you find some stress relief in some of my humour, go for it!". Some lack of energy and stamina, but feeling well, next to no pain or difficulties, getting quite a lot of sleep. Was taking glucosamine sulfate to help with joints, I was off all my regular meds while in hosp. and now that I'm back on some discomfort in right shoulder improving. ole joyful

I saw him Sunday for a couple of minutes. As the weather is getting colder, he has a lot of work to do in his large vegetable garden.

I don't know if this is related to the fact he has not posted lately, but expect that it has.

Thanks for your explanations, all. Let's hope he checks in soon and tells us he's alright.

ROTFL. mcpeg, I saw the post titled "OJ found guilty" and for like a half second I though it was our O'l Joy. Not that I was thinking he did anything wrong, but I could have missed a post where he was battling a city land ordinance or building code on his house or something, and lost out to big government.

He's into investing his money, isn't he? He's probably not too 'joyful' these days.

I sent him an email yesterday and told him that an Amber Alert was posted on the KT for him. Hopefully he will check in soon. I wonder if maybe it's his computer?

Ole joyful's ...

... operational ...

... joyful (partly) ...

... crying the blues, too, some ...

... has lived in 22 places or so (as he figured when it was question of the day) ...

... so, never bought a home ...

... invested in mutual funds (earlier) and stocks (later) instead ...

... O U C H!

But ... stock prices go up ... they go down ... they go sideways ...

... lately it's been mostly D O W N ...

... so ...

... do I have enough years left to recoup?

Not a very big problem, though: one wins a few , and loses a few ... I'm not complaining.

Will post a thread to tell of recent adventures ... check on "Mortgage Woes" or some such, on "Money Saving Tips" (or "Household Finance"?) for some of it.
