[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1661616, member: 3916"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="OIP (13).jpg"]12323[/ATTACH] [I][B]Good early early morning all.....I'm still up , all excited about my cardinals and their 11 game winning streak.....A stat i was reading earlier had the Cardinals prediction of making the playoffs at 3.45 % on September 7th.....16 days later the prediction is at 94.5 %....Thats one big jump in 16 days....I'll take it and with Wainright on the mound today @ 1 pm cdt I'm thinking we have a great shot at making it 12 straight.... You know, this old-age deal has it's benefits and burdens.....I confronted one of those burdens earlier this last afternoon....can you guess what it is ????[/B][/I] [B][I]C'mon guess...................Give up ??? OK[/I][/B] [I][B]Toenails.............................yep, those knarly , crusted , thick projections coming at the top of your toes.........First off, it's harder to raise your leg up over the other leg to get a good view of what needs to be done....Secondly, what tool to use to complete the dreaded task at hand.....It's not a task to take lightly as you could cut too much nail off and bleed to death ...well, maybe not bleed to death , but make a mess on your carpet and also cause some unwelcome pain....pain in the toenail area is no laughing matter ....anyone who has stubbed a toe and tore off a nail knows exactly what I'm talking about....[/B][/I] [B][I]So, back to the toenail pedicure.......I have clippers, scissors and I wish I still had my professional strength Buffalo grinder, but alas , I sold it at my moving sale years ago.....Also, the older you get , the thicker your nails get....Sometimes the clipper isn't wide enough to get around the nail....there you have to come at it sideways and clip the nail at a 90 degree angle...now what if you clip to far down ???? thats where the blood comes gushing out and impedes your task to the point of wanting to give up.....But, the trooper I am , I persevered till the task was complete.....I only drew blood on 3 toes , a major improvement on the last time i tried this burdensome task........ So again, to all you young whippersnapper's , enjoy your days of smooth , easy to clip toenails , as the time will come (hopefully ) where it will be the last thing you want to do , even worse than cleaning the toilet , which is another matter all in itself....[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="OIP (8).jpg"]12324[/ATTACH] [I][B]had another tryst with the neighbor lady.............whew, she has an appetite that is truly substantial , but i have been able to meet her needs so far ( her words )........she's a looker and is very warmhearted .....She will do anything for me and I respect and ENJOY that immensely....every chance i get BTW....[/B][/I] [B][I]I haven't spoken to my bud yet since his trip to St. Louis and the MRI on his prostrate....Don't want to rush him at all....i'm sure I will talk to him today or tomorrow ....I don't have a clue how long it will take to read and diagnosis the test , so all i want to do is be the best bud i can for him and be there when he needs me......Again , I have known him for 60 + years and he is my bestest bud, hands down , case closed , period in the world in my life ...Not much i wouldn't do for him if i could do it.....[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="dog04.gif"]12328[/ATTACH] [B][I]Well, Spot's telling me it's time to go bac[/I][/B]k[B][I] to bed.....he's such a good dog....he really really is and I love him .....so does the neighbor lady and Spot loves her too.......he really really does ...............[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c71842b5970b.gif"]12329[/ATTACH] [B][I]This is how i looked and acted when I drew blood tonight on them toenails........maybe she will kiss them and make them all better ...I'll ask her and let you'all know what happened...stay tuned for that riveting newsflash....................[/I][/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="37984_original.gif"]12330[/ATTACH] [B][I]Making personal hygiene a priority in my old-age.....Society thanks me for it, I'm sure..........[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
