Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
She's in pain, but the painkillers are helping.
Oddly Ozzie (our Maine Coon) is absolutely terrified of her crutches. He has sniffed them several times, but still flees. Silly mog.
Regards,
Richard.

Sticks shouldn't walk. Clearly.
Sorry Youngest's issues haven't been fully dealt with. Nothing makes a parent feel more helpless than their child in pain. I'd be interested to be a fly on the wall when her GP is required to request the MRI separately (both as to what he'll say to YD, and what he'll say to the relevant hospital person).

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
It's symptomatic of this mismanaged system, I'm sorry to say.
We wondered if the metallic clicking of the telescopic crutches was what was bothering Ozzie, so I taped the joints up under load to prevent relative movements creating a noise. And found I had entirely wasted my time. Cat was just as spooked as before. He's nuts.

Richard

I'm with Serinde. Clearly, sticks shouldn't walk.
I do hope everything gets sorted soon for YD and she gets the care she obviously needs.

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
How?!?!
That's a catastrophe. It's beyond Awful. It's unthinkable.
Tracy starts to get twitchy when we fall below a thousand and needs to buy more.

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
I sympathise with Tracy. I normally buy the box of 240 (they used to do a bag of 480, which was more my size, but alas it's no longer available). We've been under the weather so not doing regular shops, and when I did go for some essentials (like teabags) they only had the smaller 160 boxes, so I thought I'd wait until the others were in stock again - thinking that I had half a box left in the cupboard. On Friday we nipped in for a few top-ups - and even the 160 boxes were gone, just boxes of 80. "I'll wait" I thought.
On Saturday I realised that my back-up half box was, in fact, non-existent, and DH read an article about Sainsbury's and Tesco's issuing teabag warnings because of the shipping situation in the Middle East!
We don't shop on Sundays, so this morning DH went out to forage and found *phew* that the shortage seems to have been very temporary and there were plenty of boxes-of-240 again (of which he bought two, just to be on the safe side). My cuppa has been saved!

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Yep, great relief. I think at home we're down to under 750, so several boxes are in this week's delivery.
Good that you've got the emergency sorted, though.

Richard

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Makes me realise how close to the "tea edge" I teeter. As I'm the only tea drinker in the house... but I do miss the BIG boxes of Scottish Blend!
Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
I never have that much tea in the house, but I do make sure I have "enough" - for me and many nonexistent guests. I use teabags, K-cup tea, and loose tea from a great shop here called "Happy Lucky" (which is how I feel when I walk out with my tea treasures).

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Had to look up what K-cup was
As DH is more of a coffee drinker we get the tea I like, with a small stock of Earl Grey for when he is in a tea mood.

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Tracy & I like nice, strong, fight back, black tea (PG Tips tastes best here with the hard water - where my dad lives it's soft water & Yorkshire Tea tastes best). If a spoon floats, it's nearly strong enough.
In 1987 when I went across Canada I stopped of at a campsite somewhere in Manitoba & that evening had a nice chat with a Combine Harvester driver. He started in June in Texas and worked his way north with the rest of his crew as the harvest went north. By early September he'd reached Manitoba with his 80ft swath harvester. When he came over for a chat I had just made a brew in my teapot, and 15 minutes later I poured it. The tea was just perfect, and I loved it. He, on the other hand, thought paint stripper would be less aggressive and had never drunk anything so strong.
Regards,
Richard

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
When I read K-cup I immediately was reminded of my old workmate and her comment she would often come out with: "if she got the height of her chair right in a meeting she could rest them on the table and give her back a rest" She had a good sense of humour and had lots of jokes about her "natural features" that she loved to share to embarrass the fellas

She sounds like a fun workmate.

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Clearly you can have too much of a good thing after all.
I spent the day yesterday with friends at Cambo House in Fife in the gardens looking at all the snowdrops. A horrid morning cleared to be a lovely afternoon with a bright blue sky, so we even had a little wander down to the sea. Cambo is one of the three places that hold the national collections of snowdrops, and you can really tell the difference in their markings. Came home with a pot of them to plant, of course, plus a beautiful really dark hellebore. Perfect!

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
A village near us used to do an annual snowdrop trail (with artisan stalls set up in the church for good measure - last year we got some lovely semlor buns there!) but unfortunately they don't seem to have done one this year - mind you, the snowdrops will still be there so if DH and I manage to get over our flu-y colds before they're all gone we might just wander around on our own!

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Got home last night to an unexpected sight. Youngest daughter had just taken delivery of a DMC drawer case of all the threads. And it was sitting next to Tracy's one in the living room. I suspect I have made a convert.
