How’s your Yiddish this Valentine’s Day? Actually, when I was an unremarkable boy growing up in a southeastern mill town, I had quite a little vocabulary of Yiddish—or German—words, although I didn’t know it. Klatch. Bagel. Kvetch. Schlemiel. This was, of course, because television production in those days originated almost exclusively in New York City, and those early productions owed much to Vaudeville and even used many of the actors and comedians from the Vaudeville circuit. They made the outside world seem like such an interesting place! Then, it all moved to Los Angeles, and it didn’t seem that way anymore.
I know I have been scarce of late, but I’m recovering from the dreaded “flu-like illness” which has plagued me for what seems like an eternity. Updating a Web site doesn’t exactly tax one’s physical limits, I know, but an instinct for self preservation seems to kick in that prioritizes sitting in front of the television and having someone deliver a steady flow of soothing warm beverages. It’s working! I am recovering, thank you.

It should be that warm! Good for them. Peace,
Oh Jackie would do that Mark! You know me too well.
Walmart and other stores put lingerie on sale either for or after Valentines. All bras my size gone but made out like a bandit on lace thongs and boy lace cheeky shorts. If you have to ask, don’t!

Growing old is hard work….
The mind says “yes” but, the body says,
“What the heck are you thinking.”
Good morning all. I have a lot to do today. That’s OK, it is all good. I got in late last night and left Black Jack out in drive. I need to go unload him and then go see if paperwork for registration has arrived.
If I find cats tore my top I will cry.
Adult looks to be incubating.

Peace,
I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee four years ago, and it worked fine for a while, and my recovery time was just a few days. This time the damage to the bones was much worse, and I really did wait too long to have the surgery done. I really didn’t expect to be running races the next day, but I was hoping to be walking a bit easier. Of course, if the insurance company had allowed the in-home therapy it might have helped.
The post-op visit is this afternoon, and hopefully I’ll get the staples out and be cleared to get out and do stuff, and can begin going to therapy.
Good luck Jean. Did you have a full replacement? I will do full replacement on both knees, one at a time.
I live 50 miles from nearest physical therapy availability.
emb, those are all good things (unless you wanted to go to the appointment…).
Trapper Jean, fingers crossed for good news at your post-op visit.
Sideburns, what a freaky set of circumstances! Please let us know what the doc says.
For Villagers in the northern tier of states who may listen to CBC Radio, I’m sorry to report some sad news. Stuart McLean has passed away. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/-mclean-dead-obit-1.3984826
Where are we all? It is sunny and beautiful here in Oklahoma today, in 60s.
Trula is out planting pansies and spring onions, bulbs. Tulips and daffodils and flowers are bursting out of ground.
Dickens and I are going to run errands in Jack, maybe put top down?
Beautiful day in sinning Oklahoma is what Hal said. Insolent computer chip.
I’ve had a look at my X-Ray results: no signs of a break or dislocation. Aside from that, I’m moving easier now than I was a few days ago. Good thing, too, as Marcia’s away for the weekend, and guess who has to walk her dog.
So Jackie, where are you going in beautiful sinning Oklahoma today? Off to Tulsa or somewhere closer to home?
Okie from Muskogee.
Hal.said something else of course!
Late to the party today. I wrote this Monday, and I don’t think I ever got around to posting it. If I did, perhaps it will be better the second time. 🙂
“The latest issue of Food Network magazine (a gift) has arrived in the mail. It’s tagged “The Italian Issue” and of course the cover features a big ol’ full-color photo of toothy, toothsome Giada, wearing a thin blouse with 40% of its buttons undone (the math was easy to do), and preparing some, ah, kind of food, I guess, I don’t really remember.”
Sideburns, that’s good news on those xrays!
If I ever do food demonstrations again locally and entertain remind me to push it all up and it will be far less work than actually cooking!
Is it some kind of round Robin basketball tournament going on?
The Village is empty!
I just finished dinner… no idea where the other Villagers are hiding.
Had a nice salad for dinner. Picked up some DVD’s at a Goodwill store this weekend, maybe I’ll watch one of them and see something worth spending time on on TV.
I’m here – nothing new to add 🙂
Smigz: Postponed appt. was no problem. Peace,
Do those of you from the Eastern states understand why we in the Western states get upset when millions of acres are designated national monuments? And the folks in those areas are suddenly having to run everyday land-use decisions past bureaucrats in Washington?
