  1. Yup. They lost, though.
  2. My satellite dish has been replaced. I can watch the hockey game tonight.
  3. Happy Birthday, Drewbear!
  4. I spent the day in the hospital. I have extensive bruising to the ribs and muscle tissue and soft tissue, and damage to some of the muscles, including abdominal muscles (all will heal on their own), but there are no breaks, and my organs are all okay. No blood anywhere it shouldn't be. I had a CT scan and x-rays and blood work. The doc says it will be at least another week before I might see an improvement, and likely it will be more than two before I feel less pain. All I can do is rest and take Tylenol. Still a rough road ahead, but at least I know for sure.
  5. So many people near me still without power. I almost feel guilty for having mine back, but... I took a different route to get groceries, and there is devastation everywhere. No one has escaped it.
  6. They are all great, except my one daughter will be without power for probably one more week. She's staying with her in-laws a few miles from her house. My son got his power back Thursday evening. My other daughter only lost power a few hours... she and the fam are coming to check on me tomorrow.
  7. My Preston is still my daily companion. He feels good in my hands.
  8. Thanks, Albert. I'll catch up on your story in a few days.
  9. Hello, all. Still dealing with a lot of rib pain. Tele health said 4 to 6 weeks.
  10. Lol. Hey, bro and Mum. I still have a lot of shopping to do, but I have fresh food for now.
  11. I'm trying, B. I doubt I will get any rebate, but that's okay. I have learned to appreciate electricity.
  12. Yeah, just got back from spending $480 on groceries.
  13. I'm trying. I still have to cut some branches so the satellite guy can come replace my dish... it got smashed to bits by a falling tree laden with ice. I have until Tuesday to get it done.
  14. Been up since dawn. Emptied the freezer and the fridge and freezer, and washed everything out. Threw out everything. So much waste! I have my dishes done, laundry ongoing, all while nursing bruised or cracked ribs. Called Tele health and they told me to take it easy--have they met me?--they don't tape anymore. I fell three times this week, twice on sheer ice (once in the dark) and the last time in the dark after someone cut the tree off my roof (yeah, he was on my roof in the dark with a chainsaw). I tripped over a tree branch I couldn't see. Man, did it hurt. Couldn't get up for about ten minutes while the guy who cut the tree was freaking out. So, I am still a walking disaster. I'll catch up with you guys eventually. Be well.
  15. Hope all goes well, Page.
  16. I'm alive! Power only lasted a few minutes last time I was on. Six days of sheer hell and devastation from the worst ice storm I have ever seen. It lasted for days and days. My property looks like a war zone, huge trees and small all snapped or broken. No heat, no water, no cell reception. It just came on a half hour ago so I am going to have the longest hottest shower I can manage. I'll be back sometime.
  17. Power just came back on. What an awful day. Lost most of my lilac trees from the ice storm.
  18. Hello, all. Busy morning. We had freezing rain all night and everything is covered in ice.
  19. My granddaughter is finally asleep. That girl is always hungry, yet she's tiny.
  20. Hello, all. Have my granddaughter today.
  21. Headstall
