Good afternooning all. I had to do a governor meeting this morning and then drive down to my daughter’s place about 2 hours away with some things she needs urgently.

I am awaiting her return from work so we can go get something to eat and then head home.

The weather is disgusting in the UK at the moment. Torrential rain with many places suffering flooding. It made for a slow journey

PS * whispers * The app still works
There's a guy with the username Jelly who Josh has helping him with forum stuff, and I noticed that Jelly was on yesterday at about 10:30a, and today is his birthday, so I'm sure he's working on it. But you know how these things go - slowly, very slowly!

Each of the bearded dragons got a size-appropriate hornworm for dinner last night. It was the first time either one ever ate a hornworm... and the look on Indy's face... It was the very best thing he had ever tasted, and it was gone way too soon. Oh, but he liked it! :D
Sounds cute. Dilly our cat loves a fresh bag of kibble so much I buy small bags.

Whahaha. Poor boy. Now he is going to have to work hard for some hornworm rewards.
This does create some interesting possibilities. Before I saw Indy's face when he tasted that hornworm, I would have told you he simply wasn't food motivated.

I haven't seen a post or I would try to say hello...at least.

Chomper loves them too but they have to be a rare treat.... you’d think those things are made of gold for the price they charge... and they don’t have much to them.. (nutritionally). the real thing is that they grow so fast that half in the container get too big before chomper can eat them.. luckily you won’t have that problem but Chomper won’t grow much bigger....

Good Luck Ray with the OT and TP. Both are good but never nice while you have to do them. But at the end of the day there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks Carol, it went good today. It's kind of weird but I told my wife that the pain from therapy I can deal with and accept. But my daily pains can really mess with my head.
But I sure there are many members out there that understand that.

I get that. After a couple decades of recurring bouts with major depression, I'm finally starting to get used to NOT being depressed. (You guys get part of the credit there, I think...) I'm trying to establish a new (revised) baseline for myself, without meds, and gradually add back in any med(s) I actually need at this point, one at a time.

That being said, I'm making all sorts of discoveries lately (good and bad). Like my pain threshold having DECREASED due to one of the meds no longer being in my system. :eek: Sheesh. I'm too young to be experiencing these kinds of aches and pains... or at least to be experiencing them, unmitigated!

Yes, I can totally relate. I think it is because the pains from therapy you know will subside sooner or later, however the daily pains are there consistently and are never ending. A person gets tired of them and it is a battle because you are constantly fighting them. I have never understood and yet have also understood it when someone says that they get used to the pain. Personally I have found it very tiring and depressing having to fight daily pain, have never gotten used to it BUT at the same time have gotten used to it. If you can understand what I am trying to say. I know it does not make any sense whatsoever, but go figure, no-one ever said I was totally sane.!!:rolleyes:

Shame Anne. Sorry to hear but very proud of you at the same time.

Happy Wednesday gang..

Going to be mid-90’s here today. This should be our last really HOT day, or at least the last 90 degree day. So, in honor of this HOT HOT dsy, we are off kayaking.

Enjoy the day.
Have a great Trip! I’ll be desk bound at the home office for much of the day today. We also have mid 90’s temps so that may motivate me to finish reporting quickly so I can get outdoors. Be safe:)
