Good morning, Andi.
That’s on the cool side – about 75 here in Nairobi in the mid-afternoon.
Job done, team is satisfied – heading for the airport in a few hours. Lots of sleep to catch up on.
Thanks, Andi.
Hope to sleep straight through to Dubai (5 hrs). Then 14 long hrs to NY after a brief lay-over.
I agree with you, mid to upper 70s is just right, enjoy the day.
I had a dream that even Freud wouldn’t be able to figure out. I was in a class on the first day of school (teens and adults) and the teacher was trying to introduce the subject matter but all of the students were talking and laughing and then several of them walked out. I was getting frustrated because I was trying to listen to her but I couldn’t hear what she was saying. I wanted to tell her that you have to get control of the class from the very first day. Suddenly there was a naked little girl, about 3 years old, walking unnoticed through all of the adults in the room and as I got closer to her I saw that she had stuck Lite Brite pegs through her skin in about 100 different places. She was bleeding and dirty and I tried to take them out carefully but she kept crying when I did.
Aside from that, I’m enjoying a coolish morning after an evening of intense storms and torrential rains.
Wasn’t that interesting – just got real dark and and the skies opened up. But the thunder was nice to go to sleep to. Several house in the neighborhood were set on fire from lightning.

Wow, you’re pretty calm about this — I’ve never run into that happening (I’ve heard of it but never lived anywhere where it’s happened that I’m aware of).
It happens all the time here – don’t know why exactly. Two attached townhomes burned to the ground less than a mile from here and 3 or 4 other nereby houses were struck but the fires were caught early. I would have thought that the longleaf pines would attract the lightning, since they’re so much taller than the structures.
You mean ductape and corrugated cardboard aren’t very good construction materials?
The area has been growing like gangbusters the past 10 years, but a couple of the houses struck last night were more than 20 years old and hopefully made of substantially better stock than the new construction.
I took my last sample actonel pill — the doctor never said what he wanted me to do once they were used up so now I’m debating if I want to bother following up or not. I’ve been really lazy about this.
I’ve been moderately lazy myself. Or maybe swamped. I’ve seen a doctor a week, but not the ones dealing with the bone density issue. Maybe we should make a commitment between us to talk to a doctor this week and report back to each other?
I did find out about the falling pelvic floor issue. But the answer might be better talked about through email (I’m katiebird@gmail.com) if anyone is interested than a Cafe.
I dunno — I have to figure out how concerned I am about this, especially given the doctor’s rather casual attitude about the pills in the first place (no info about the restrictions on eating/drinking before taking them, no follow up info).
He/she probably just got a sample of them and was passing them out like candy.
Did your bone density test come out alright? I know that small/light people have a better chance of bone loss than we substantial women do. Just walking is a weight-bearing exercise for me, but I do a lot of weight training as well.
You don’t think a falling pelvic floor is Cafe-friendly? Hah. My sister had her bladder suspended in a sling made out of cadaver skin. Enjoy your breakfast everyone.
She had a choice? WTF, indeed. I’ve heard terrible things about the risks of using parts from dead people. Ground bones for example aren’t regulated at all.
Apparently her doctor said the surgery has a better success rate with donor skin….but I don’t care how saggy my bladder is, there is no way I’m having someone else’s skin holding it up. Ick.
Morning People!!!!! I was suppose to do a grassroots training in Austin today but we are having horrible storms so I will go to a grassroots training here in Round Rock instead. LOL Thought I would share one of my comic designs with you.
I’m disappointed you aren’t going — I was interested to hear what the training was like but I’ll bet the Diva Dogs will be delighted to have you stick around.
It’s only 55 here. How nice.
Good morning, Andi.

We’re heading toward a high in the upper 70s which is my idea of perfect — I don’t like hot weather.
I hope you have a pleasant and safe trip home.
Thanks, Andi.

Have a safe flight!!!!
Morning andi and ask!!!!

Seems like this one would be better for a Jungian, lots of archetypes.
Did you get to watch the storm clouds or did they come after it was dark?

It’s the 500 antenia on the house tops. LOL Or the tinfoil they are using to fool the aleians.
That’s really freaky — do you think it has something to do with the way house are constructed around there?
I’d think the folks who installed lightning rods would be doing a healthy business.

I would say either more alcohol or less before bedtime. LOL
What an exceedingly strange dream, SN.
And good morning to one and all.
Good Morning everyone!!
How are you doing this morning?

No, it’s the cause and treatment that aren’t cafe friendly.
(giggle)
kb, she had her choice of some super space-age kind of manmade material or cavader skin….and she chose CADAVER SKIN! WTF?

Well, my problem can be solved with biofeedback, so it isn’t an issue for me. Thank God.
Well, now it will be a major challenge to even finish my first cup of coffee.
How is everyone today?
I’m about to go to couch for a nap.
Morning!!!!
Good Morning!
