My neighbor is into shortwave radio and has quite the antenna system rigged up.
Talks to people all over the world and speaks multiple languages fluently.
Never know it by looking at him as he looks like a inbred hillbilly with 3 teeth.........which he is as well.
Really nice guy who has been a fantastic neighbor over the years and always offers help if he thinks anyone needs it.
I enjoy the people here generally always nice and polite.........till they aint.
😆

I helped a guy put up a 100' antenna. He was a true aficionado. I remember talking to some Australian on his radio.

I've been there a few times too, probably due to my chic lifestyle and the odd cancer, but at 58 still I don't qualify as old fart, so I just came to say best luck to Gypsy, and a speedy recovery. And the same goes for all others who are through critical medical conditions.
I will dedicate you all a nice asturian poem:

If viagra doesn't work
cos you have misread the label
get a piercing in the willy
and a magnet in the navel.
Hey, @kaochiu It's been more than half a century ago, so my Mandarin is as rusty as the Titanic.

But your handle, kaochiu <-- "depend on leaving"? That's whut this ole sojer thinks it sorta translates to. How far off am I? I'm curious.

Hey yall, it was a beautiful day here today sunny and in the high 70s. Put my tiny garden in today. I only have 2 4x8 ft squares for veggies but did squeeze in peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and zuchinni. Beanie weenies for supper Racheal Ray style with cornbread topping to make it fancy.
‘off on a dog walk 💕

Had a good training session with my son's new pup this afternoon.
Heel . Sit. "Look at me".
A gent down the road is a retired veterinarian / hunting dog trainer and has offered to help us on some of the finer points.
The little dude is smart as a whip and very birdie but he's easily distracted. Everything is new and exciting.

@Gypsy Nirvana -- Damn! I wish I had thought of this sooner. It is mid-afternoon here in Floriduh, and too late to give you two ideas:

1. Go buy/steal a voice-to-print app, and...

2. Also buy an auto-editing app.

OR NUMBA THREE, GI!! Added becuz you will be able to do the following while laying there recuperating and looking like Dr. Frankenstein's first attempt.

Just sit/lay anywhere and audio-record your life experiences by stream-of-consciousness and stream-of-memory. I recorded my entire novel, "Faerie Diamonds" so my beloved, newly blind father-in-law could still hear the story. The recording gadget I used was the equivalent of a hand-crank phone to what is available today.

Fargin things nowadays -- jeez -- forty bucks gets you a paltry

72GB Digital Voice Recorder: Voice Activated Recorder with Playback, Audio Recording Device​

on Amazon.

That way, you can hear yourself (while taking notes -- or directly modifying what is recorded then and there) and know exactly what you want to keep, what you want to rephrase, and what you want to expand on.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can do none of these things while typing. Especially when you look like you just hatched another fargin alien.
Well - tomorrow at 12.30 pm - they will start the drawing and quartering - <hacksaw symphony music> in the operating theatre - and I did have a good look at how this A.I. software can edit/enhance the written word - 'cos a friend of mine swears by it - (and not at it) - so after I've been chopped up - then stapled up - and recovered from the thorisine or whatever mong-out meds they give me - and find meself in a comfy contemplative head-space - I shall Sally-Forth - and try get my scribblings in good order -

All the best and we will see you when you're ready.❤️❤️❤️

Two drunks are walking along. One drunk says to the other, "What a beautiful night, look at the moon." The other drunk stops and looks at his drunk friend. "You're wrong, that's not the moon, that's the sun." They began to argue when they come upon another drunk. They asked, "Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that's shining. Is it the moon or the sun?" The third drunk looked at the sky and said, "Sorry, I don't live around here."

That's what he thinks the nurse is going to look like that'll be taking care of him. Here's what the nurse is really going to _look_ like:

Nothing says "boner be gone" than this! ;)
Nope - 'fraid you are wrong - I've got a very nice and respectable young nurse from Eastern Europe (Romania) - with the misfortune of having the name of a heavy goods vehicle - Lorry 🚚 - nice pleasant gal anyway - just kinda sad about the name her parents lumbered her with -

You better hope she's the one who's taking care of your post-op and not Nurse Diesel:

The real Kaochiu or Gao Qiu is a XIIth century guy, but the choice comes from a 70’s series that only myself in the western world has seen, “The Water Margin”, and he played the baddy, always harassing Lin Chung and Hushanian with his troops. I can't remember lines or anything, and blurry characters too, black and white tv. Google translator is a rip off, also tried translating it and closest I got was “grilled chicken skewer”. Fits too.

Lorry is not an usual name, but Lori is a nickname for Loredana and she might have translated that to english..
