A country girl can survive. I have been annoyed lately how "country" has been confused with "southern". Like folks from Maine aren't country lol 1000's of oil and gassers from Texas are in my area. There's one I was bullshitting with, truck covered in "country" stickers and junk...turns out he's from Dallas... Dallas! That aint country! Kris is the man!
There is country/backwoods/rural everywhere.I think we just associate southern with country.Although there is very little country in ATL,MiA,Charlotte,Tampa,NO . traffic and crime yes

I'm fully with you there! How is it going with the bilateral knee replacements?
thanks for asking, rgambs how is it going w/ my knees being replaced? well it's simply the most painful experience i've ever went through. on the 26th it'll be a month since the surgery. ok, so 4 weeks out & i've made huge improvements since this all started & that's what we need in this kinda situation. it has been constant agony but somehow livable. it's funny how both legs feel broken in several places that aren't near the knee... ankles & top of feet feel broken. when we're talking about the tibia bones, damn, son of a!!! darn knees are harder than a billygoat's stinky whatnot & it is weird as heck
im at 100 degrees when doing my R leg slide under the chair im sitting in. the L leg is just under 100 degrees. therapist says im doing good & right on target. not being able to sleep much at all is completely for the birds. we're talkin on average 2-4 hrs a night i bet & that is broken up not solid

You are doing good with your rehab, most people don't know how bad that part is gonna hurt! "it's funny how both legs feel broken in several places that aren't near the knee... ankles & top of feet feel broken. when we're talking about the tibia bones, damn, son of a!!!" I used to assist total knee replacements in the operating room, and I can assure you, that pain is earned! It is rough business getting joints replaced...lots of UFC type leg holds lol
Brian, I don't remember which thread was the William H macy thread, but you vouched for the movie,"Rudderless"... Awesome! I never heard of it but we just watched it and it is about 1000x as good as like 90% of the movies out there! Much more mature and sober but kinda reminded me of "August Rush."

Excellent, Gambs!! So glad you liked it! I felt the same way- what a great movie!
I'll check out "August Rush"- thanks!

Yeah it's more of a feel goody movie, but I really like it. Man the moment when he approaches the headstone, and you find out the reality of the events... We were shocked and it really brings the movie to another level.
She's starting to feel pretty...weighed down lol She's tough and hasn't complained half as much as her sister did, but she's getting pretty sore and tired. Definitely looking forward to 2 months off work! I don't get any time off, but they promise I will get 3 days off a week..we will see!
At 5'9 and 125 lbs, she wasn't super structurally prepared as some women are to weild a 9lb baby lol, but smaller women have carried bigger babies indeed!

Aww - having seen my sister through two pregnancies (and myself through none!), I give kudos to not bitching about the number carrying a baby does on body and emotions.
You should be getting time off too! Fingers crossed for those three days for you.
oh im very sincere, rgambs. it's my curious nature wanting to know these things. i found myself yesterday wanting to know which company manufactured my new knees. guess i'll make a note of this & ask the dr when i see him next. i remember you saying the operating rooms you were working in they had music turned up. this is a amazing visual to me
thank you, lux. im on my feet & zooming about like a turtle or some other slow ass critter
Chad,I chose a local instead of regular anesthesia last time I went under the knife.My doc is a client so we already had a relationship.Hes 80 something and looks like the monopoly man.He allowed me to pick the music while he was cutting away.On that day I thought Zeppelin was in order.And they cranked it.The nurses were goofing around with me and the whole experience was so different and cool.In the Light and when the Levee breaks sounds great echoing in an OR.
