Bumping this to say I'll be upgrading to 2.1 RC4 later tonight. Shouldn't be too much trouble but as always I wanted to let everyone know in advance "

This one is a 1926 touring .  We also have a 1926 roadster & a 1922 roadster but he always wants to drive this one in parades as it has a back seat & some times we have a rider or two .

Alpiner, what fun you must have with your vintage cars! Really cool looking.  Nice Parade too.  Sharon

We do enjoy the parades & get togethers !  There is another parade July 27 in  a nearby town .

Great car and great photo!

Well, we made it to the beach, but it was a grueling drive. The traffic and many stopped areas was worse than I've ever seen it. We're all pooped, but we're here and folks have gotten their feet wet in the Gulf and the pool, and we've had our shrimp supper. I'd say we'll all sleep well tonight!

Happy Weekend, Buddies![/font]

Alpiner...as they say " they dont make them like that anymore " meaning they are made to last...

This brings back fond memories of the ( UK ) Stately Homes grounds where we used to go showing vintage classic cars and their owners...The owners were so proud as they were shining up their cars to the large public who came, which usually took place over a Bank Holiday weekend...

A new quiz has been posted.

Sharon...hope procedure went well and less tremors.

MaryPage... always good to see your smiling face.

Enjoying time here with my sis and brother-in-law. 

Stay safe and healthy,

Jane

Just dropping in to say I had my procedure today. It went well and I could write a legible sentence afterward. Dr was pleased. I am a little unsteady on my feet and will be for a while. Will have to be really careful and use my walker or cane so I don't fall.  Not loving the bald look, but hopefully will grow in fast.

Enjoy your visit, Jane.  And the same with the beach, Mary. Hi to everyone.
 Sharon

HURRAH, Sharon!  Glad it went so well. 

jane

So glad all went well, Sharon!  And hair grows back. 

Glad you have THAT behind you, Sharon.  Hope a peaceful, comfortable summer lies ahead of you.  If we lived near one another, I'd stop and leave a balloon or two for you this morning.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. And Mary Page, I'll just imagine those pretty balloons bobbing here in my living room. Thank you! I'm steadier on my feet today which is good. Am going to try to get a ride to bridge this afternoon. CaN't drive yet.
Sharon

Sharon...hurrah for feeling better already.

My sister and I met my brother-in-law in Canton, Ohio, today for lunch after his cardio appt.  It was a lovely place called the Twisted Olive.

The rains continue...very hard at times with thunder and lightning.


jane

Hi everyone...loved the picture of the model T....my son has a body shop and restores old vehicles...Jane sounds like you are enjoying family time...I guess Mary is still at the beach...Sharon glad you are feeling better..I woke up yesterday with a stye on my eye....hoping I don't have to go to Dr....Sharon good to hear you are feeling better...we in Texas are hot and dry...but August will be worse...take care buddies.

Hello every Buddy. It looks like I haven't posted for a few days. Well to update all y'all; I've  put away a few more things, the Rescue Mission picked up the donations today. They didn't want the Teddy bears or the Christmas stuff. There will be more though.

Gilbert came by after work yesterday to put together the shelves for the shed that I ordered from Amazon. Went together real easy. Now I can straighten up the shed and add more  to it. He is going to bring over my bookcase so that will take care of a few more boxes. After he moves the cabinet with the glass doors I can put away my "treasures" that I've taken every place I have ever lived. Some were my mother's and some my grandmother's. He leave for Oahu next Thursday. I have also ordered new over the toilet shelving that arrives the day he leaves.

I got the estimate on replacing the awning over the front porch and will get the estimate to replace 4 windows from the same people. However,  they won't get replaces until around October. Everyone is so behind because of Covid.

Sharon glad you are doing so much better, what kind of procedure did they do to stop the tremors?

Happy , happy !!   I went for my 6 month mammogram  & it was good !!   My next mammogram isn't until July 2022 !!!

Yea, Alpiner!!! 

Good news! So sweet to the ears!

How 'bout y'all give me your knowledge and/or opinions on something. My oncologist told me several years ago I need have no more mammograms. The next year, she fired me. Well, you're right: that is the wrong word. She told me I did not need to see her any more.

This kind of sort of scares me. As long as I was seeing her, I felt safe. If the cancer had enough nerve to show up again, Dr.Werner would know it and fix it.

But as long as I am cast off and on my own, I worry. My mother's sister lived to be 101, and I would like to make my century and have that humongous family party. But Aunt Mary got cancer there at the end, and that is what she died of. So I worry. I believe hers was throat cancer; I am never certain of my memory any more. But so many, many medical people: family, friends and acquaintances, have told me that many, many medical people: nurses and doctors, put all folks as old as I in one unimportant class: "Goners." I am not being an alarmist here. I found that out for the first time back around 1990. She's dead now, so I can tell it without getting her in trouble: one who swore to me the truth of that was a woman who had retired from the Army Nurse Corps after heading up the nursing at Walter Reed Army Hospital. This was before they moved from their lovely old setting in Rock Creek Park out to Bethesda in Maryland, where they now share a campus with the Naval Hospital.

I learned, from being almost a professional caretaker for quite a number of elderly, one after another after another for years, that when they get up there you have to fight like a wildcat to get attention for your beloved family member. At times I wanted to scream: "Hey, I care! I want him/her to live every day possible. This is my MOTHER we're talking about. My husband. My aunt. I saw 3 husbands die of cancer, my mother, and an aunt. I looked after or helped look after my stepmother and 2 uncles and several more aunts. I am finished with that now, and my children look after me. I am 92, and I want to know why age 90 cuts us off from mammograms and oncologists. Is it Medicare? Am I being a big baby to not want to give up mammograms? I HATE mammograms, but it was a mammogram that found my cancer, causing them to perform a successful lumpectomy.

What's it all about, Alfie? Am I cast off just because I belong to an age group called, in medical slang, "Goners?"

Mary Page - All...
...our UK mammogram screening stops at age 71...our UK smear ( pap ) test cut off date is age 64...heaven help us after that...I lost both parents to cancer...my father to cancer of the penis, my mother to breast cancer..

MaryPage... maybe try to find a Geriatrician ... I found one for my husband and he loved her.  I think that these docs are more concerned about balance and falls causing more problems than the issues that befall those younger than we are.  I know that I won't do colonoscopy anymore...too many possibilities now of damage to intestinal walls and all my past ones never found a polyp nor do I have issues.    I do like having a doc for my auto-immune issues, etc.

Marilyn...it sounds as if you're getting settled in. 

Mary...hope beach time is going good. 

Big dinner tonight with all the kids and then tomorrow I'll pack up and head home Saturday. 

Stay safe,

Jane

We all think differently. The numbers, much like a game of Jacks, spill out in a different structure of truth for each of us. I suspect this is one of the currants of life that keeps our species engaged in war with its own kind.

However, I cannot imagine how Anyone can condone following the percentages and deciding to cut us off from testing after a given age. From my vantage point, it condemns a certain percentage of us to Death by the inexorable disease or condition so that our fellows can save MONEY by crossing us off of those testing lists.

Hey, Everybody! I am here! I live and breathe, and do not want to be shoved to the sidelines and dismissed from the Game of Life!

Good suggestion, Jane; I have been going to a Gerontology practice, one my husband went to as well, for over twenty years now. They are wonderful, but they are just my personal physicians, and they give me references to specialists constantly, to the end that I swear I have a doctor for each hand, arm, foot, toe and finger!

So it is the Cancer Contingent that is in charge of the cut off. My dear oncologist kept me as long as she could, but hey, they have to get Paid! And so it winds up the decisions made by the Actuaries working for the Insurance companies that rule. And what is their job? Saving money for the insurance companies, THAT is their job!

Just as a sidebar: One of my 13 granddaughters IS an actuary.  She is also a Vice President of a large insurance company.  We do not discuss this; not at all. But my deep love of her has led me to read up on that part of the deep background of our lives.

Mary Page, I stopped going to my oncologist some years ago as I had my BC in 2001, but I make sure my primary does a breast exam and I continue to have mammograms. So far I haven't had any drs tell me I'm too old to bother them.

It is amazing to be able to eat and write easily again. But I am having a persistent fatigue as a side effect. I hope it goes away soon.

Darlene, I think it was you who asked. My treatment was an ultra-sound to the brain done under an MRI. No holes drilled. But I can write and eat now without tremors in my right hand.

Marilyn, it sounds like you're making real progress!

Jane, sounds like you're having a nice family visit. Safe trip home.

Just back from dinner, so am ready to watch the news and jeopardy. Have a good evening. Sharon

Family dinner last night was terrific.  Everyone was there and it was great to see them all after all these months.

Tonight I'm taking my sister and BIL out for supper, then packing up and heading out tomorrow.  I'll get home Sunday afternoon.

12 tornadoes in Iowa Wed., two in my county.  Nobody has called, so I assume nothing in my little town.

Stay safe,
Jane
