FEATURED Morning Pops!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I'm typing this at 5:12 a.m., after giving up on getting any sleep. My family Christmas was on Christmas Eve, and I drank 5 or 6 bottles of iced tea. I got roughly an hour of sleep around 1:00..

At least I should be able to get to sleep early tonight, so I can wake up at 2:30 a.m. and drive to Queens Thursday morning!

Yayyyy
 
Merry Christmas everyone. My wife and I wish you all peace, tranquility, good health and prosperity.

I can't help myself... latest grandson joke:

Who does Beyonce call to fix her roof? "All the shingle ladies, all the shingle ladies"

If you're like me, you'll have that song stuck in your head the rest of the day.
Thankfully, another song I don't know...and no, I'm not going to listen to it if it gets posted.

:grin:
 
Good morning Pops, CC and Cowboy fans everywhere.

It's a brisk 5 F and lightly snowing. I'm enjoying a hot mug of tea and thinking, how truly fortunate we are to live in Montana.

By the way, I recently changed my avatar. The photo shows the road to our home. We live at the base of the mountain.

Hope everyone is doing well in the new year.

Beautiful place!!

About to get 8" of snow tonight, and suppose to drive to da Bronx in the morning...I don't think so.

Gonna get down to around 0° the next few nights too, with highs in the teens during the day.

Have I mentioned that I hate Winter?
 
Good afternoon Pops, Coachadoodles and all my rowdy Popsadoodles,

I would apologize for my lengthy absence, but I've got a doctor's excuse. Those still work, don't they?:huh: Every time I came here to tell y'all what was going on, I'd cry. Each one of you are precious to me in your own way. Enough of that or it will go to your heads.

Before I bow out of this post, I'll update y'all. Last year, I went through some very hard chemo. I had to have a blood transfusion at one point before I started robbing folks of their wheelchairs. I actually felt like laying across one woman's lap and telling her what doctor to deposit me at. It was awful. When it ended, I took a break before returning to my doctor only to find the cut out tumors had returned and spread. They aren't trying to remove it any more, but working to contain it. It's stage 4 which sounds intimidating but it's my lymphatic system which is everywhere to begin with. On hearing my prognosis, I picked up a guitar and started singing the blues. It sounded good to me. Anyway, I have been going through intravenous radiation which means I'm radioactive for two weeks afterwards each treatment and in quarantine. I'm not glowing in the dark though. I checked. I have no further updates just yet, but this is where I've been. It isn't over yet.

Here's part of one of my favorite cartoons to lighten the mood.

So sorry to hear about this! Good luck and hang in there.

@Xelda so glad to see you back on this forum but terribly sorry to hear what you're going through. If I was as eloquent as CouchCoach, I would share some clever story about his time in the music industry.

The best I can do is share that the bears are coming out of hibernation and a small group was heard singing,"The Bare Necessities" in my back yard.

I couldn't find the original thread, so I am posting here.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on March 26, 2024. There was a lot of discussion at the time about what happened, how it happened and what can be done.

One year later, most of the debris has been removed and shipping lanes are opened. However, not a single aspect of the rebuild has commenced. It appears the state and federal governments are still discussing funding
 
Thank you to each one of you. You all brighten my day when I'm here which made coming here at low points difficult. l love each of you and your families. Your families go into the making of who you are.

Thank you Montanalo for the Bare Necessities. I always loved cartoons except for that Scooby Doo crap. There are others, but I could never get in that boat.

I was looking out the window yesterday and saw four kids playing in a neighbor's yard. The tallest boy was piggy backing the tallest girl. A middle sized boy was trying to pull the girl off. Then he lowered for the little girl, and middle boy just hopped on top of her. They started arguing and the tall girl slapped the tall boy. He slapped her back and she went crying to momma with a hand on her cheek and a new ailment of one leg falling off.

Ah to be young and dumb. I wouldn't go back unless I had full knowledge of what and who to avoid. Who to trip in the halls at school. Who to slap and grab my knee. I was more of a hair puller than a slapper. This has possibility. I'm gonna think on this more.

It's official, I love y'all more than the Cowboys now. There are a few players that are in a special group above the star. They've earned my respect, even some that have left for other teams. They served me well while they were here.

I do have an awful confession to make. I have fallen in extreme like with Brock Purdy. Never will I root for the 49ers, but I can root for the Brock Purdies. Never against the Cowboys, but on their own against any one else. I was glad the Eagles didn't allow the Chefs a three peat. I cry for mercy! I sick.

The state has been fired.
