Today is my and LJ's 30 wedding anniversary. It seems hard to believe it's been that long.
I don't know what we will be able to do to celebrate it. I have to take her to her doctor appointment this afternoon. They will be going over the test results from last weeks test. (A discography) I know she has at least one tear.
Heck of a way to celebrate, hey?
Maybe i can scrape up enough change to take her to McDonald's......(if i only use the "Dollar Menu") LOL!

Congratulations there old buddy. Donna and I hit 47 on July 10th. Hey, are things still a dollar on the dollar menu at Mickey Macs? There up to $1.25 or higher now out here, and it still says on the sign, "Dollar Menu." I'm gonna complain.

Give LJ a big hug and tell her "there's another 30 yet to come." Then look out for the frying pan aimed at your head.

I'm doing fine btw, staying away from wasps and hornets for a few days.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Thanks all......well......just a "anniversary present".
Took LJ to the specialist yesterday....thought it would be no big deal. Maybe some injections or something.
She needs major back surgery.
3 discs are shot. The bottom 3. The 3rd from the bottom is, and i quote the doctor, "shredded" and the other 2 have multiple tears. They would have to take out all 3 discs, put in steel rods and bolts to the bones, and put in spacers. She would be in the hospital 5 days, then 5 to 6 weeks recovery at home. She only has health insurance till the end of September. And, if she does the surgery, she can't collect her unemployment, as she won't be able to look for work or work during that time. Meaning of course, that we wouldn't be able to pay our bills, rent, car payment, and all.
I went to my brother in law, who is very well off, and litterally begged him for a loan to get us through this time. He said he doesn't have any money, or he would help.
So i don't know what to do. She desperatly needs the surgery. I just have NO answer.
Just another day in paradise.

Whatever you do, make sure she gets that surgery ASAP!!

The rest you two can figure out, but she's only got one back.. so take care of that first!

My dad doesn't have insurance, and has to pay for all of his treatment out of pocket. Luckily the chemo pill company who he gets half of his chemo from offered a grant which allows him a few months free of charge. Maybe you guys can work something out like that with your doc/pharmaceutical company?

As far as her unemployment.. she can still 'pound the pavement' online. As soon as she's healthy enough to pick up a phone, she can be searching that way as well. That way she doesn't have to lie about looking for work during that time.

But all that aside, as your friend.. HER BACK IS MOST IMPORTANT!

Hang in there, you old bird. šŸ™‚

LJ is still trying to decide what to do. She's terrified. She saw what little help i had when i was in the hospital. I mean, heck, i never even got a sponge bath. Had it not been for my wife's friend, who happened to be a nurse, i would have had to lay there all stinky. She took better care of me, and she wasn't getting paid for it.
So we are kind of in limbo right now.
Her doctor is on vacation next week, so that gives her a little more time to decide.
She said to me, "You're sick....how are YOU going to take care of ME!?!?" But i told her i would do whatever had to be done, no matter how i felt. I did it before when she had leg surgery. It wasn't easy, but i got it done.
She's worried she might end up paralized if they screw up. I don't blame her. Messing with the back is a scary thought.

Well.....not much new news. Doc says he will do her surgery in September. She still isn't sure she wants to go through it. But she really needs to.
Had some trouble with one of the A-Holes that lives a few doors down. Called my wife some really bad names...and me too.
Just what we don't need right now.....more stress.
I don't want to get into the details. The guy is just a self centered jerk. One of the kind you can't reason with,.

Fan Shout
dfosterf (9m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (16m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (17m) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (18m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (21m) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (22m) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (27m) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (28m) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (29m) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (29m) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
dfosterf (1h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
dfosterf (1h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (1h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (7h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: ā€œA great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.ā€
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates ā€œmany Packers gamesā€ being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea
dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after
