Beautiful!
What’s the state of your tulip pictures? I’ve keep going over to your blog expecting to see some.
(and thanks)
I had visitors today so I haven’t had a lot of time to b(log). I did get some of them uploaded late last night (did you see the one I posted in the night cafe?), but was having a bit of trouble w/ the connection and it was taking forever (longer than normal w/ dialup) so pretty frustrating.
It rained all w/e here, so not good for pictures but good for growing things. 🙂 I took a wide angle of the g, but I haven’t uploaded it yet and it’s not the best b/c it’s grey and rainy.
I also feel last night and hurt myself, so I’ve been taking it easy today.
Ya, excuses excuses … 😛
How did you fall? Are you ok? Don’t just bury that in the middle – how are you?
Are you okay? What did you hurt?
I hadn’t gone back through the old cafes so I didn’t see the picture — I’ll go find it.
I was taking something out to the garage, and there is one steep step down. I’m not sure how it happened, but my foot slipped outwards and the next thing I was lying on my back on the concrete trying to catch my breath. I smacked and cut my left arm and also caught my leg under the car and my head snapped back and I bit my tongue, but the worst was I landed on my left kidney area on the edge of the concrete step. It knocked the wind out of me, so I had to sort of roll onto the concrete and lay there for a bit. I’m bruised today and it hurts to move. I told my company this morning what happened and they were horrified thinking that I might have hit my head, passed out and they wouldn’t have found me ’til this morning LOL. (I suppose it’s not really funny, but it is in a macabre kind of way.)
Oh, yuck! Did you get checked out to make sure you’re not bleeding internally: Not to be macabre.
A few years after my mother died, my father remarried. They aren’t spring chickens but still no one thought any great harm was done when she took a fall, landed on her belly and cut her chin. She got some stitches at the ER, they took X-rays and nothing was broken or fractured.
Over the next couple of weeks, my father noticed that she was getting more forgetful, complained of headaches, had moments of pure dementia and finally lapsed into unconsciousness on the living room sofa. The doctors did an MRI and the impact of the fall tore her brain loose from the top of her skull! She had a major hematoma and, to shorten the story, she has degenerative brain damage and now — three months after the fall — doesn’t even recognize my father.
The moral of the story should be clear: Nasty falls deserve a thorough examination.
That’s awful!
that is horrible!!!
That is just so awful… My heart goes out to your Dad and family.
My great grandmother died, before I was born, and I guess the only one in the family that I take after… she was in a car accident – a little fender bender. Nothing totally bad. Just a headache and sore neck. About 3 months later she was dead. She was having coffee and touched her head and said to her husband…”oh dear” and died of an anuerysm.
You poor thing. You definitely should be taking it easy. Did you go to the doctor?
I figured it I wasn’t experiencing you know … then I’m okay for now. 🙂
You did say the kidney AREA which might be something else and anyway, blood in the urine isn’t necessarily visible. You should go anyway.
You should go to the doctor.
I am a litle freaked out by the stories up above … they’re horrible.
Truth is I’m scared of mds… I know too much… I hate HATE hate going to dr… I’d have to be in serious trouble first. I get panic attacky when I have to go. There, another phobia disclosed.
Here’s a tulip for you … From yesterday after the rain.
I’ve got some more questions for Jim after my ‘live’ photog experience (warning Jim! be on the lookout for a large novel-sized email coming your way soon! 😉
She’s trying to distract us with flowers.
I’m sympathetic and if I could with you and hold your hand, I would be there in a flash. But I still think you should go.
Tulip is lovely. Jim says fire away.
The tulip is gorgeous.
The fall was ugly. I’ve taken my share of ugly falls (the combination of skating, biking, and clumsiness) and been browbeaten into going to the doctor to be poked, prodded, and xrayed. Every time my browbeaters have been satisfied knowing that their awkward son/husband/friend has a big booboo. Make us happy and give us the same report from your md.
And better yet, let us see your big booboo. Oh nevermind.
We won’t rest well till be hear confirmation of your wellness, olivia.
And BTW I can hardly wait to see the “larger” on these latest ones you’ve been teasing us with.
What everybody else has said and more.
See what happens when you have a lot of people caring about you.
Quit argueing and go to the doctor!
Yeah – and tell her to quit smoking too!!! Oh, wait a minute, that’s not Olivia.
Yea I know. Those damn smokers.
You’re so good at that! 🙂
I have perfected my nagging skills over many decades of life.
Yea but I can put up with your nagging. Remember the on/off switch. 😛
SN is arguing and saying you should quit smoking and I agree. Wait a minute you don’t smoke. SN stop the smoking!
not saying you’re going is the same as saying you’re not going. 😛
But you will go, won’t you — because you wouldn’t want to make all of us worry, would you?
Your mom would be so proud … 🙂
I don’t like going to the doctor either, mostly because I hate stepping on the scale all the time and seeing the numbers in all of their horribleness staring me in the face. Even if I was just there a week earlier they make me step on the scale – it’s sinister I tell you.
And no one is comfortable taking off their clothes and sitting in a paper gown.
But, luscious Olivia, there are people that care about you and love you and they’d be devastated if one of those freaky stories chronicled above happened to you.
So get someone to go with you and just do it.
I’m kinda regretting bringing this up. The nag and subsequent guilt factor is almost unbelievable… 🙂
</nag>
You ain’t seen nothing yet. 🙂
SN isn’t the only first rate nag.
a little big of nagging, a whole lot of love.
… it’s worth it for that reason … :*
major spills. It sounds like if it were an olympic event the judges would have all each held up a 10 to score your dismount. I hope you heal fully soon.
OUCH! Feel better fast.
OMG!!! did they check you for concussion? Sounds like you do what I do so well fall ugly
We hurt ourselves so much more by trying NOT to fall, especially women who are usually carrying something – sometimes they fall ugly trying to protect a held baby.
Due to martial arts, I don’t fall as ugly. But… I’m blonde and have probs with balance and depth-percep so falling is a constant.
My family almost bought me a crash helmet as a joke. LOL
Take care precious!!!!!
Kinda what I expected. I’ve been worried about the “rest” the Sharks had. All that time off. But they are coming out hard and fast. I likee 🙂
Did you two read earlier that I watch some hockey on TV today? Col & Anah.
Poor dada — the Avs are really hurting right now.
Tonight was the first time I saw the little roboticized shark fin travelling on the ice … what a hoot that was!
Lovely photos!
to her site? She’s got some amazing shots.
always good to have another
“wobbly” in the group. Sorry I missed your diary. I’ll have to go spend some time on it later tonight.
Haven’t run into you before here, welcome!
oooh, very nice
Thanks Omir. Did you have a good weekend?
Pretty decent so far, I slept through a large portion of it. How about you?
I had walked through a big chunk of it and as you can see, got very lucky with one of my pictures.
I should go out and take some pictures of the lilacs before they die off. They’re sure ephemeral and they’re not very pretty when they’re fading, but when they’re blooming they’re sure pretty (sight and smell).
so beautiful. can that really be indiana?
Unless I am very confused about where I have been living for the past 27 years, yes.
Nature boy one is losing by 3 – possibly affected by the continual sipping of a smoothie while playing.
Game is almost on… OMG!!!
You have air hockey at your house?
I am soooo jealous.
Heh – that’s our dining room table.
so that’s your fancy eatin table?
Yeah, it’s a bitch because the plates keep levitating and floating away.
Sounds like a great diet plan. Catch it and you can eat it.
But it makes passin the mashed potates much easier,no?
Here’s a direct link to the Oilers feed:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/asx/CHEDAM.asx
I posted the Sharks link in the previous cafe.
Me, I think maybe since I’ve been temporarily left to my own devices I might just put on CBC TV and get my hockey that way.
is OLN the snuff channel… I hate OLN it’s like what Dick Cheney must like.
They show hunters finishing off the kill of a deer with a knife for commercials. However they did stop that a bit after a ton of hockey fans made a scream about it. But OLN is basically a redneck crap channel. ACK>
Congrats on the house! It looks like such a wonderful home-to-be. 🙂 I can’t wait for you to move in and get settled!
I know you’re really going to enjoy it. Single family homes sure beat apts, or even twin homes.
(I’m getting not to like the shared wall of the twin home here in the city. I doubt they could put in enough insulation for me to ever buy another one.)
Up here in the Big City < grin > we get a feed from Vancouver’s CBC affiliate, which is carrying as much hockey as they can cram into their schedule.
I’m not all that interested in watching the games on OLN.
No, I ended up just listening to the Sharks feed. It’s cool, that way I can cook up some dinner and listen on the computer in the office next door.
I was having a spa night. I colored my hair. I did this really neat body mud mask that I have done before that detoxes your outer layer. It has clay and sea salt and sea weed in it and just a bit of Capsicum that heats up when you shower it off and leaves your skin warm and tingly for about an hour afterwards. Guess I was feeling a little over confident about using it this evening. Never ever ever let any of this stuff near your butt crack. In fact, Ductape your butt cheeks together and use it like painters tape. Holy shit I have a fire down below!
Fire in the hole! Sorry, that slipped out. Can you sit in a tub of cool water?
pepper oil. It is beginning to subside a little, another 30 minutes I ought to be right as rain but I bet I never do that again.
Cold milk compresses? Sounds fun to me!
That’s what I was thinking – milk. Or a milk product — yogurt, ice cream, whipped cream …
I opened the fridge and stared at “Heavy Whipping Cream”. I lost the washrag and grabbed a paper towel and poured the cream into. Folded it a couple of times and gave myself a wedgie, it worked practically instantly!
Now you just need some strawberries! 🙂
and spa night becomes Date Night!
You got it! But skip the jalapeno flavored condoms.
(hides the Eskimo Pies and Strawberry Popsicles)
🙂
I neglected to consider all of my options and all the fun possibilities that each one could bring to the situation! Has your daughter entered you in the funniest mom contest on Nickelodeon? Every time I see it advertised I always think to myself that your daughter really needs to enter you.
how may I help you?
MT: Give me a frostee softee for my burning bunghole
🙂
When you eat peppers that are too hot, bread is supposed to cool your mouth down. I don’t suppose you are up for applying bread to the …er, … affected area.
absorbs oils.
Heard that from an old friend(male) of mine who was telling about making his special recipe of hot sauce from the peppers they’d harvested from their very own garden.
Guess, he forgot what he was doing, cause he went to take a leak without proper precautions. Sounded like “it” was on fire all right.
His wife suggests bathtub, so they try that. Water doesn’t mix with oil so that didn’t help ,or made it worse, I think he said.
Then they considered the emergency ward, but he was a surgical nurse there and didn’t think he’d ever live it down.
Next thing they tried was talcum powder. That seem to soak up the hot pepper oil and the flames subsided.
The rest of the story:
You have to know the wife is laughing hysterically the whole time. Trying to help, but tears in her eyes, his too, but for different reasons.
I’ll save you asking the question, “Still married?”
No.
at your discomfort but I’m afraid I’m failing spectacularly.
I’d much rather be punched in the kidney lol!
Milk, according to Alton Brown, takes the heat of capsaicin off the tongue and mouth. I have no idea if it works on the nether regions as well. Furthermore, I hope I never have the need to know.
I’m headed to make myself a little milk compress out of a clean washrag and some milk. But of course! If it works for the tongue hopefully it will work for the other end!
I’m laughing so hard because I’ve done that, too! The humiliation of explaining to my husband why I was whimpering was almost beyond bearing.
enemy and now discover that my friends have been inflicted. Life is unfair!
Sit yer ass down in some milk or vinegar, pronto! I make chiles all the time and I have to wear gloves. I’ve had some bad burns.
There was instant relief and now it feels like the cream is being challenged a little. So Janet my lovely fair friend, I adore Mexican food but have never had to really learn how to cook it. I have been surrounded by much better cooks than I could have ever hoped to be in Colorado. Alabama is a very different story. Have any terrific recipes to share girlfriend?
You have to re-apply the milk or vinegar. Vinegar works wonders on skin. Old sun burn secret.
I cook fairly decent hot food. I do so mostly by “whatever works” I try to follow recipes at first and then I get “creative” let me ask my hockey pal for the recipe I sent her that she then modified. I’m horrible with recipes except cut and pasting or having Mr. Damnit edit them.
It’s for bacon, cream cheese stuffed jalapenos and all my hot lovin friends are addicted to them. We call them poppers. You bake em. And damn they are GOOOD!
Hope you and Olivia feel better.
I took a basic recipe and then jazzed it up.
The recipe is a bit hard because I always alter it due to the size or poundage of jalapenos. I normally make about 3 or 4 trays of em. I’ll get the recip up and out for you soon. I’ll post it on Booman and also mail it to ya baby.
Wayne has had guys from Mexico BEG for him to ask his wife to make em when we were in Calif. That is how I got some great bottles of tequila 🙂
and the chicks now have a fenced yard. So check out My Chicks>

I wish that we could have a few but in our subdivision it isn’t permitted. Horses are okay but no fowl…..sigh.
They are five weeks old, born on April Fool’s Day. I’ve never had chickens before so it’s been a whole new experience for me. Hubby had them growing up so he’s doesn’t consult a book like I do.
I am looking forward to having eggs in about five more months. Until then they are very entertaining to watch.
What? What do you mean look behind me?
What a great photo SN!
Never a dull moment with these two. 🙂
What’s going on. Tracy I’ve never heard of whipped cream enamas, but whatever floats ya boat.
How’s everybody doing?
Erm…I think you read that wrong. But it’s worth reading again, believe me.
No I read the whole thing. Just a feeble attempt at humor. 🙂
Next time you have a affix a big ‘humour’ (for Olivia) label. But on further thought, it is funny.
I finally made it to a cafe when you’re here!
How was your day?
I’m doing fine. When are you going to the doctor?
🙂
But Bada Bing reminded me. How twisted my mind is sometimes. If it isn’t my noodle that’s twisted it’s my caboose.
I’ve never even seen the show. Hear it was good though.
When I run out of cigs. I have to quit one vice at a time and this is the last one. I figure after quitting this one I’ll be sprouting wings and a halo.
Plus you’re changing the subject. OK you can tell us you went to the doctor, but I know, Olivia would never tell us a story.
Does that mean in your house? Or like, Alabama? 🙂
Here in NC they practically pay you to smoke – the per pack tax is second lowest in the nation. Tobacco is still a big cash crop.
