MORNING ROLL CALL L JUNE 2026

@SummerOnTheWay1   Grantchester is returning to regular PBS this month.  Not sure if you will be able to watch.

@Therapist4u  wondering if you are also a PBS fan?  I do not recall you mentioning anything about fun activities you are able to do with the arthritis or what kinds of books and shows you like.  Nicole gets me thinking about such stuff 😆. 

@Frozenoem Perhaps you will have to switch to those slip on Sketchers with the firm lip on the back.  Actually they work well.  Believe it or not I am so short of time that I no longer bother with shoes I have to tie.

 @catwoman500  Bob Cat picture is great! Too bad your PT is over!  Perhaps you can find a good sub on YouTube?    I am finding tons of yoga teachers I absolutely love lately and lots of physical therapy recommendations from my YouTube searches.  

We are having beautiful low humidity days here in north Ga.  If only they would last for a month or two.

Afternoon all

@LaDolceVita 

Sketchers and I don’t agree, my tootsies only touch Merrell’s. 4 months to find a pair in my size 13 medium width. Searched everywhere and finally located, now on order. Happy feet with slipons, griping to manufacturer helped or mere coincidence, there coming.👍

@SummerOnTheWay1 

Practically bionic now. Replacement parts I don’t mind but, not allowed new parts until old allow. 6 months maybe.That’s a long course of PT and weight training.

@MsStretch 

Pictures please of adventures .

@catwoman500 

People see me weaving while standing and generally just let me go ahead in line.Either that or they fear for their safety 200 year old cane. Thank Gaia we run tall in the family, the only problem is it’s along way down.

@Therapist4u and Lee

Autofill only works if you appear.and I admit my memory isn’t the greatest for the moment.NEW Wonder drug IS working - experimental . Took a pathologist friend who would like to keep me amongst the living👍.

Delicate little flower , fragile and I should not be used in the same sentence. Finally gaining weight and muscle mass back, never thought 10 lbs could thrill me , as much.😎

@DaveMcK 

Hope the light house keeper keeps the flame going and fresnel )lens) clean.

Enjoy all

@Therapist4u 

Allan, thnx for the trip down memory lane, haven’t seen or thought of R Crum posters or comix since I needed a down payment on my first house.🤣 Funnies can be turned into cash🤣.One of these days need to get in the attic to locate the limited edition prints.

Doing my finest imitation of Lee to take the chill off, it’s way cheaper than the oil furnace.Or even the heating pad.And feels a heckuva lot better.👍

@SummerOnTheWay1 

Which means by the above it’s downright comfy in a Maine home in summer. Hot in summer by day or comfy

bt night. Well insulated home only took 30-40 years to finish it.

Enjoy all

@Frozenoem , that's good news the PT is working.  It's never easy, but what's that they say about baby steps at first?

Would love to post pictures of my latest adventures, except I haven't been on any jaunts lately.  Hey, it's summer and all the trees and underbrush are green making it hard to see hidden abandoned treasures. 😁

@Therapist4u , do you ever use one of those riding carts when shopping?  Does anyone ever let you go in front?  I know that if I see someone using a cane or crutches, I let them go in front of me, but I always use self-checkout these days.  Can't remember the last time I stood in line for a cashier.

@catwoman500 , I'm feel your anguish about your latest DMV adventure.  I did the RealID thing right before everything shut down for COVID.  I had not physically been in a DMV for years (renewing everything online), and I was flabbergasted.  Wait in a long line to get a number so you can wait in another long line!  It took me hours, because there was a problem with my marriage certificate (proof of change of name) and I had to sit back down and wait yet again, while they sorted it out.  When I finally got my picture taken (with my goofy grin of relief), I almost did a jig out to my car!

@SummerOnTheWay1 , awww, glad you were looking out for Mr. No Name 😽 and glad to hear Ms.G is back. You need to tell her to let you know the next time she disappears.  For future reference, I feed Willie Mae and Giorgio twice a day (morning and evening), but they get wet food with a side of crunchies. My neighbor/co-caretaker leaves a bowl of crunchies out on her deck all the time, but if the furkids don't eat it, the raccoon(s) and any other assorted critters will.  I don't leave food out on my deck.  I do leave water bowls out at all times.

@MsStretch 

The baby steps were to slow, went from 20-200 incrementally. Tonight sitting in the same chair I’ve been stuck in through the pandemic. Tomorrow it’s back to Henry Miller👍and up again, since I can handle standing again.👍🤣

@Therapist4u 

My banker recommended I get into comics for easier earnings than stocks, He had more than a few while I was in college.

 
Hope yours are in acid free boxes, in plastic pouches. It’s been 30-50 years since I bought or sold any, and can’t even remember who gave the most bang for the buck.About all I recall is it was in Cambridge outside of Harvard U, across from Hasty Pudding ? Or else I need to return to Cambridge after I find my address book from that century 

One partner remained in comic books and the other is full Professor at ZooMass.

@Therapist4u   @Frozenoem   I hope you both continue to feel better, Froze with "miracle drug" and @Therapist4u  with physical therapy!  

@SummerOnTheWay1   I am still busier than I like, but some of it now is "me" time.   I had my mom on hospice for 5 years, including during the move 2 years ago.  I always looked like I fell off the turnip truck.  I was a life long exerciser, gave that up one year prior to my mom's stroke,  after my neighbor across the street became homeless and I took all of her dogs in. So for a total of 6 years I took care of the dogs and mom.   I am in a kind of recovery mode now, looking after myself more.  I still have all the dogs except the Claire and Maggie, I wrote of their passing.  But dogs are a pleasure and they keep my outdoors, even though sometimes it's not what I would like!  I DO miss being able to watch shows and read books!!  And when I am able to do those things again I hope I will be able to share them with you 😀.
