I’m on the road this morning, sitting in a McDonald’s actually, drinking unsweetened ice tea and taking advantage of free WiFi. I wouldn’t want the place to close down just because I took a little time over the Fourth. I’ll be back at my desk tomorrow!

I had some spare time today and decided to check in and see if anything interesting was happening. I am very surprised to find that I am a subject of discussion. I am healthy although I had a bad bout with food poisoning a few weeks ago. I now tend to avoid buffets . Food poisoning will cause dehydration and that can affect you in ways that you won’t believe. I appreciate the concern. I do not appreciate or desire any discussion of exactly who or where I am. I will share any personal information if I want to do so. I have not been posting simply because I was generally not interested in what was being discussed. I don’t think that I am smarter or better than anybody else and I have told you enough about myself and how Parkinsons has affected me that I think you can believe that. I have been trying to catch up on some reading and I’ve also had problems with the convertible that I bought which has taken up a lot of time. Again, I do thank you for your concern and I will probably check in occasionally.
Jackie just announced she was also ordering a Right-Handed Dutch Hand Hoe (also available as a left-handed model), but she didn’t fool me this time.
Sadly, these are to replace tools lost, strayed, stolen or broken during the employment of her former Gypsies in the Castle. The CITC Motto seemed to be, “If you can’t sell it or use it at home, lose or break it.”
Thank you Jerry. You had disappeared so completely that we worried something bad had happened. Glad to hear from you.
I can understand not wanting to comment from time to time. I remember on the old Andy Griffith Show Goober or Gomer would just say “Gomer/Goober says Hey.” Maybe you can do that.
Hey to Jerry.
Suggest we not worry about missing orphans in future and should they care enough about our concern they can check in. If they don’t, then assume they are voluntarily moved out.
There are indeed those I miss from the Village, whose comments I enjoyed. Many of you I know personally or through Facebook. Friendship is what you make it I find.
Back to the laundry and folding stuff!
About Japanese and Dutch hoes, I told Ghost that the reason there was three different styles was each country did it different. He didn’t mention the Swedish onion hoe.
Good for Jerry, chiming in at just the right time. I am glad you are okay, Jerry.
Sometimes I wish we had never gotten a computer. The books I could have read — the letters I could have written — the shrubs I could have pruned — the photos I could have arranged in albums — and on and on.
A dear friend, Muriel from NH, had a word for this , “Priorities”. She had a kind, but realistic way of saying the word and it comes into my mind often. She has left this world now and I miss her.
Arlo will be happy to learn that the surface of Mars has been found to be more inhospitable to life than previously thought. Basically, the surface dust is full of disinfectant!

Jerry:
Thanks for checking in, and it’s good to know that you are okay.
I’m sorry to hear about the food poisoning. I’ve had it a few times, and it’s a miserable experience.
I’d rather pass a kidney stone – which I have done four times – than have food poisoning.
Rick, your comment reminded me of this bit on the Cosby show:
