Ya - same here - my prostate is larger than a walnut - and I'm hoping it's not grown to tennis ball size - just yet -

Just last week King Charlie released the news that he also had an enlarged prostate problem - and he got to go straight into hospital to get it fixed (probably via prostate ablation methinks) - but little old me - who is just a 'subject' of the monarch - has to wait alot longer (could be years) - to get mine seen to - It's far from an egalitarian society over here in Blighty -

Canada has a novel approach to the pesky problem of having to wait for treatment. They used it on a reported 50,000 souls last year and it resulted in 50,000 fewer people needing healthcare now or in the future. In a couple of months they will be expanding the MAIDS program to children. We are living in sad, evil times. That being said, I hope you get treated like a king soon.

Morning OFC.

Place is hopping today. I just went through 6 pages catching up. I forgot where I started....

Snowing out. Looks like it is gonna do this most of the day. Probably run to the grow store for supplies.

OMIGAWD. I do exactly that every moanin'. A peacock will be staring in the window, so I go out with a white garbage can with birdie seeds, a bag of black oil seeds, and a bag of peanuts.

The peacock all but pushes me away as I fill the dish out there with birdie seeds and black seeds. Then I fill the totally squirrel-proof** bird feeder.

Next, I place a peanut under the thin wire hanging the feeder to the hoop-post, and another in the "V" of the wire. Peanuts around the lip of the feeder.

Blue jays will come and take the peanuts from the wire as I put them up there. They bump into my ear/hair doing it. They do NOT (yet) take them from my hand.

By this time, there are five squirrels running around on the macadamia bush and the midget pecan tree****

I drop a peanut on the ground at my feets. Here comes the boldest. They run off with them, and I never see if they bury them like I thought I saw once.

**Experimentation led to victory. It is a 7' vertical black 1/2 square barstock with a sideways "S" top. <-- Of course, that would never stop even geriatric squirrel... so I added two "stratergeries", to wit:

1. The rod is sunk in the ground to the T-bar you jump on to sink it -- but at a distance the little acrobats cannot reach from the roof. But still pretty close to the window.

2. The rod is climbable by squirrels even if greased. So they climb up the rod to the height they cannot jump to from the ground... and face the underside of the steel inverted cone. This no-maintenance rig has been totally squirrel-proof for ten years.

**** I planted two trees I bought in a nursery in northern Floriduh (it was by my hunt club). Twenty-two years ago. One was a Flame Tree

the other was a pecan tree. I love pecans. They were both the same size.

I will not show the pornographic picture of the pecan tree.

The pecan tree is no thicker than my thumb. It is FIVE feet tall. After 23 years. Seems pecan trees have to have cold weather to "sleep". <-- I din' know that.

I am a critter feeder as well. I go thru 80 lbs of black oil sunflower seed and 10-15 suet cakes every few weeks in the summer. Slows down a bit in winter but I currently have a flock of 12 wild turkeys that protest outside my back slider if I am late providing their breakfast. I can’t hand feed any of them(yet) but could reach out and wring the necks of a few of them if my freezer runs low in meat. Pretty sure if I tried that though, I would have severe lacerations.

I was thinking along the lines of a 'special toilet' - being kinda like a JAPANESE TOILET -

There was a plane in Alaska that got raided by aa bear for food and they duct taped it back to fly home I seem to recall

Was it an Alaskan Air Boeing?

The way this is growing it takes an hour to get caught up in the morning.

Ain't that the truth!

Don't think so Reynard - - I've never run out of likes to give - have you?

NOPE !
When you get your blood drawn you ask nicely for a 24 hour urine container with a screw cap.
I have one in my truck and where i need it.
Empty it after and a splash of bleach and its a thing of beauty IMHO

I always try and fill mine as full as possible during the 24 period...........never have filled it.

I always loved girls cooties ever since my first encounter with girls cooties.

Well - it's not a competition - and it's always good to be able to spread a little love - in a like - to almost every post you read - if it's only just to say that you stopped by - and said hi/hello - it's good manners towards the poster/thread starter -

I drink like a mofo and know people who had kidney stones.
Why I drink water and so fortunate to love water.
I drink it every day

I do it cuz I appreciate the time made to express the thought..........I have learned quite a bit from forums over the years.

My neighbor was told a few days ago by a doctor that she has likely broken her knee. X-ray didn’t show a break so they ordered a CT scan(which sounds odd to me-x-ray negative-probably not a break). They have scheduled the CT scan for next month! If this isn’t an obvious case of trying to lock in her insurance payment, I don’t know what is. Healthcare isn’t healthcare. Healthy people don’t make the system money.
