OT - NO POLITICS Memorial Day & Here Comes Summah edition

[McGarnagle]

Some questions for those who wish to participate:

1) If you could only eat one type chocolate bar for the rest of your life, what would it be?

2) We are all Bruins fans but a lot of us don't live in Boston or the vicinity. My question is if you watch other sports, do you always choose the same city, etc., to cheer for? I find most Bruins fans in Canada also cheer for the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. Is it always that way? Do you live in Boston and cheer for other sports teams from other places?

3) Would you buy a house if there had been a murder in it?

4) If given the choice & money was not an issue, would you travel the country in a motor home, pitch a tent, or stay in a motel or hotel?

5) Has anyone ever gone skydiving or done any extreme sports?

1. Crunch Bar or Snickers, though if Reese's Cups count those
2. Grew up in New England but live on the other side of the country now. Still root for Boston teams.
3. As long as they do a deep cleaning, fine by me. Hell, if it knocks down the purchase price I'm happy too. Though it depends if it was some kind of lover's quarrel or something like a drug hit that would risk people coming back to the location. But overall I don't really care if anyone died in that house prior.
4. Hotels for sure. I could camp a couple days going to national parks but I want to be in a hotel with a shower, AC, and TV for the majority of it.
5. Nope, never. Massive fear of heights, I don't even do rollercoasters, there's no way in hell I'm ever skydiving.

5) Has anyone ever gone skydiving or done any extreme sports?

1. Dark chocolate
2. There are other sports?
3. No murders thanks. An old newspaper clipping I found (1880s) reported that a sister in law died in my old house.
4. Hotels all the way.
5. Westy used to jump back in the 80s. He had 300 or so jumps. Used to do formations and stacks. Such a bad ass! I only ever rode up in the jump plane (no seats!) and watched them go out. We were at the DZ the day Jim O’Brien died.

5) The most extreme thing I’ve done is the Big Shot on top of the Strat in Las Vegas, the one that fires you straight into the air. That was a long time ago and I am happy to have my feet planted firmly on the ground.

LOL, I did that too....The ride itself wasn't as bad as was the screaming guy sitting next to me. That was the most horrifying scream I've ever heard in my life. I didn't know humans could make a sound like that until I heard it myself.

Sounded like he was being burned alive. I'll never forget that sound as long as I live.....

The smoke is bad. I'm close by. Luckily everyone is okay

 

[Ladyfan]

Oh...My daughter made me do this in Vegas.

 

[Ladyfan]

It was dreary and raining all day...But the sun just came out It is a good day

 

[Troublesome 85]

Hopefully you get better food when youre out that hospital food looks nasty @Fenway

 

[Johnny Upton]

Oh...My daughter made me do this in Vegas.

You’re a brave soul!! I don’t think I could ever do that.

 

[Ladyfan]

I was 65. We went there to see the Bs first game there. She had been before and wanted to do this jump so I asked, "where can I watch". She is like You are not afraid of heights...I bought you a ticket. I told her no more.

I did it but am done.

This is my kid. She loved it.

Almost June here at the Cave and I'm having to close windows because it is COLD...not cool but COLD. Will be watching the AHL/NHL games tonight under my trusty Rumpl blanket!

1. Cadbury's Dairy Milk with whole hazelnuts (British version), Lindt version a close second.

2. I tried to watch the Jays but too boring. Hockey is my only love.

3. No way.

4. Hotel or motel

5. Never, I would die.

Hopefully good results, do you know how long it takes to find out?

I’m trying to save these 7 baby bunnies (RIP Bunny #8, who perished when my dog found the nest.)

I cover the planter with a piece of cardboard during the day and open it from dusk til dawn so mamma rabbit can cover them back up.

Try not to look at your portal before your doc can explain results.
Westy had that biopsy and had a partially collapsed lung from it. No kidding - they’re poking holes in your lung! Tough going!

Thinking good thoughts for you!

 

[Fenway]

Thanks @Ladyfan

I don't know why it was so hard to get me to lie down on my stomach but I couldn't get comfortable knowing it would be 45-60 minutes. The nurses were great and we got it done.

The nurses on Ellison19 will get flowers from me today along with my case manager on the floor. Sounds crazy but I appreciated one nurse yesterday at 4 AM when they had to wake me for blood testing and she got me a fresh coffee without my asking.

@sooshii That is exactly why they kept me until they took the 3 X-rays.

The surgeon talked to me before the procedure and told me what could happen - it is what it is.

Tomorrow I have a follow-up at an MGH-owned hospital in Dover, NH.

I've been meaning to ask you, how is the kitten doing? Any chance he becomes another Oli? I still miss him.

My friend found out she had cancer from the results being in her portal before her doctor called. I understand why they populate automatically, but yikes.

I recently had some lab work done, insulin level was normal per the lab, but doctor noted it was abnormal. I asked her and she said that even though the range goes up to 18, once you're over that you are diabetic. I was at 10.5 so she considers that "slightly elevated" and thus abnormal. I guess she didn't feel like putting that in the notes so I had to wonder for a few days until my appointment to discuss the results.

He is very sassy, we haven't tried on the jersey yet but you never know - he chews on the cacti so maybe a little encouragement he could be taught to shred like Oli!

That's him in the background - looks like trouble doesn't he?
