Sorry to hear your shoulder is bothering you   You know... you and Gary don't need to be twinning with everything    

 

I thought of that but there were no chairs involved in my mishap.

How is it as children we abhorred Brussels sprouts and now we can't get enough?

I was an adult the first time I had them and abhorred them, now. Evolving tastes I suppose.

Mooorning  lazy morning here. I was woken up by the phone, opened the shutter and sneaked back into bed until I was awaken by a nightmare

I had Brussels sprouts tonight with my chicken.  

You and your chicken ate Brussels sprouts? When did you get a chicken? What do the rest of your menagerie feel about this development?

I got the chicken at the grocery store... alas... he was dead and done like dinner... he was skinless and boneless too.   The rest of the folks were not aware of said chicken.  

Morning, bro... hope you' and Mum are feeling better.

Hi, B. I got a nice email last night from Australian Red Cross, updating me on the things they are accomplishing in your beautiful and tragic country. They have collected over thirty-five million in donations so far... and they are only one of the groups assisting, and have supported over twenty-thousand people so far. My youngest son donated to an animal/pet rescue yesterday as well. The world is thinking of you and your devastated country.  

Here is their link again for anyone who might want it... https://www.redcross.org.au/

Happy Tuesday, all!

Sometimes life happens in a big way ... we were in an accident on I-495 at noon today and my car was totaled.  While I'm very sore and shaken things might have been far worse. Now I just need to find a comfortable position for sleeping.

   - scary and painful, even if the car took most of the damage. Nice firefighters compensate a bit, but it's still

Glad to hear that, but sorry about your shoulder and the other soreness. God bedring from Danmark.

Sometimes life happens in a big way ... we were in an accident on I-495 at noon today and my car was totaled. The good news is that we all walked away. Mum had a cut on her elbow that didn't require treatment and Thistle is fine. Me, I got an ambulance ride and a 3+ hour visit at the Fairfax Hospital ER. My side of the car slammed into the concrete barrier wall. Fortunately the side airbags deployed and protected my head and neck. No broken bones but the ribs on my left side are bruised. I've got contusions from my seatbelt and my left shoulder may have tendon and/or rotator cuff damage, x-rays don't show that. I'll likely be making a visit to an orthopedist in SC. The best part is that while I was on my way to the ER mum and Thistle were taken to the nearby fire station where they were well looked after. Mum had coffee and once he relaxed Thistle explored until his heart's content. The guys went online to help mum find a rental car. The local rental places were closed so the nearest available was AVIS at Reagan International Airport. One of the guys took them there to pick up the car then led mum to the hospital to meet me. When mum was having trouble with the lady at my insurance agency he took the phone from mum and got things sorted. They were so kind and helpful. We collected our personal things from my car. It was taken to a nearby salvage yard until my insurance arranges to pick it up. After a five hour delay we continued south and are currently lodged in the motel where we had made reservations. While I'm very sore and shaken things might have been far worse. Now I just need to find a comfortable position for sleeping.

 

I hope you, your mum, and Thistle are healing/feeling okay.
