    Can't have a drink yet (making decorations for a cake and playing chauffeur later) but I would have a little celebratory one, if I could. My friend's surgery went without a hitch and they seemed to have been able to keep his foot and not hack it off. He had quite a complex and pioneering operation so we were a bit worried. Now only time will tell....

    Brianlux - hope all went well (or will go well depending on time zones!) with Celia.

    A toast (with tea) to good health!

    Is Celia your step-granddaughter?

    Any case, I hope it's not serious and turns out OK for her...for them.

    Hang in there, B!

    Thanks for asking about her, Hedonist.

    Celia is my wife. She just called and told me she waited too late to get her eye looked at in order to have the simple procedure to correct the problem. She has to go in Monday for eye surgery. As if that's not bad enough, she will have to lie face down for 10 days and and for two months she is not supposed go over 1,600 feet in elevation... which is really problematic as we live at 2,000 ft elevation.

    Life gets challenging sometimes. :(


    So sorry about this Brian :( Hoping her surgery went well today.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    A lot of good and fine people around here that I would love to have a real-life drink with! Alcoholic or not, cold drink or cup of coffee/tea. :mrgreen:
    I thought the same can't wait to meet up with you but no coffee or tea for me
    unless its spiked.
    We must still be waiting to hear about Celia and the surgery. Yep sending some vibes her way.
    That what you fear the most could meet you halfway

    Thank you riotgrl. :) So far so good. The Doc was happy with the result. Now we start the long face-down recovery. Lots to do today so as C. likes to say, "TTFN" (ta ta for now :lol: )

    Nothing like that feeling, Brian. A flood, I imagine.

    A heartfelt toast to both of you from here :)

    May you both live long and strong on Love Street.

    (what can I say? I'm watching / listening to the Doors live at the Hollywood Bowl - better I quote the above song than Back Door Man!)

    I was just about to say I'm listening to the Door Live in New York and the desk started shaking. No, make that the whole house- and we are on solid rock here!

    Whoa! Rock AND roll, baby!

    That was, indeed, an earthquake. 5.9, epicenter: Susanville, CA. No reports of damage/injury thus far.
    Shake, rattle and roll!

    That's the power of the Doors! Oh... an earthquake you say... :oops: Are you sure? Mightn't it have been Ray's keyboard bass and Jim's baritone voice booming from the 'other side'?

    Actually, I was thinking something along these lines! Just after setting the needle down (oh so gently) and the band kicks in "Roadhouse Blues"- whammo!- the house starts ROCKIN'! Messages from Jim and Ray from the other side- yes!

    From another thread.... Hair.....

    Hedonist - Pictured you with a fiery, blazing long mop of red hair like Merida (the heroine in Brave)
    Riotgrl - I saw you with mid length/long, very dark/black wavy(ish) hair - a bit like Esmeralda in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

    There you go.... weird how one conjures up images with what people write or their voices... :lol:

    Even weirder is that I am comparing to Disney (Pixar) characters! To my defense, I did have a couple of kids over last week end and they were watching the Disney film channel.... :oops:

    Ha! I certainly wish my hair was wavy and dark but, alas, just a plain brown which means I keep it blond. Do we all wish for hair that we don't have? I always wanted red hair and, to me, colored red hair isn't nearly as beautiful as the legit red. Dammit, I'm part Irish why didn't I get even a hint of red and I'm part Cherokee so where's the dark!

    And you redrock? I picture you with short dark, straight hair....Or is your name REDrock for a reason :lol:

    brian, so glad that Celia is recovering nicely. Too early here for a drink so I'll send a coffee toast instead :)
