NHProud Posted May 22 #122178 Share Posted May 22 1 hour ago, Sea Dog said: Since I have a wooded back yard, every time I finish mowing I have to check for ticks. I am amazed where I find them underneath my clothes and sometimes in areas I can’t figure how they got there. I am able to get them off before they settle in deep but they always leave an itchy little welt for a few days. Wish I could figure out how they get underneath my clothes so fast. Are you mowing your artificial turf or do you have more grass back there ? Hubby is undergoing cataract surgery next Wednesday and at his last exam the doc found a tiny hole in his retina. Fortunately, the retina guy was in the building and easily and quickly fixed with a laser. No long saga story here about his cataract surgery. He’s getting plain lenses and doing both eyes the same day . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked out the dining options on the Queen Mary in Long Beach ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the first time you see the Mona Lisa… That was my exact impression when I visited the Alamo. Also was shocked it was right in the city. I had no idea!

We do have problems with mosquitoes but we keep a big fan out on the patio. To keep them away. Mosquitos can’t fly in the wind very well. We mainly have lists of critters that come through. Lots of deer, raccoons, possums, rabbits and coyotes which we really watch out with the dogs. 40 minutes ago, NHProud said: Very beautiful and bucolic backyard ! How are you and Linda doing ? I’m seeing a PT for the first time . Trying to keep an old lady upright with exercises to improve stability. Have you checked out the dining options on the Queen Mary in Long Beach ? We are doing pretty good. Both are done with PT but continuing on our own with exercises. I’m still real stiff and trying to get a better range of motion. i have not checked the dining options. We almost booked it for our stay but ended up booking the Double Tree. We plan on taking the tour so I check out the options. Thank you for the suggestion Judy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like my Ryobi electric push mower, my legs can't do the whole front lawn any more, and I now use the ride on mower and use the Ryobi in small areas where I'm not comfortable using the ride-on. Anyway, after mowing the front yard yesterday, I moved onto the back yard, where there are two trees with low branches that I will ride under, while at the same time, I'm ducking my head and hoping a tick isn't in the tree. As I got to the first tree, I felt something go into my eye, but I thought it was just pollen. I continued mowing, and moved on to cleaning pollen off all of the patio furniture. As I was eating dinner, my eye started really bothering me, and so I moved my finger to the outer part of my eye, and as I did, I felt a little something there. As I got it out of my eye, it was a little tiny bug. I put it on my dinner napkin, and thought to myself, do I see it moving? I got my old glasses to get a good look, and sure enough, it was moving! Needless to say, my eye and swollen lid don't look very pretty. I called my eye doctor at 8:00 this morning and luckily they said come right in. I was particularly concerned, since i am scheduled for lazer surgery next week on this eye. The doctor prescribed antibiotic eye drops and told me no worries....surgery can be done next week. Phew!! Sending you our best wishes for your surgery next week. Sorry to hear about the bug in your eye but hopefully the antibiotic eye drops will help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted May 22 #122196 Share Posted May 22 Tonight is the final episode of Season 46 of Survivor.If my granddog is correct and Liz wins it will be a total farce.There is no way that she should win. Although there is nobody left that I am rooting for in my opinion Charlie played the best of the remaining cast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 22 #122197 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Today, we drove to New Wilmington for lunch. When our daughter was in college there, we discovered a restaurant called The Tavern on the Square. It had been around since the 1930’s It always had good comfort food, and the best sticky buns. Sadly, it closed during the pandemic. The last couple years, new owners did some remodeling and additions. Today was a soft opening, so we thought it may be a good time to try it out. Anyplace that has a Cuban on the menu will see me ordering it to see if it is good. The Cuban wasn’t too bad, although many things on their menu were higher in price than normal for the area. It was rather novel that they use old books to deliver your check. It is not unusual to see those Amish buggies, like depicted on the sign, drive by as you are eating. This is, after all, the heart of Amish country in Western Pennsylvania. Edited May 22 by h20skibum 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at that IMO, none of them will deserve the million. I hoping Maria gets blindsided tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general election comment could elicit many responses that could get someone banned from here for life. My reality shows are court cases fictional or otherwise. I’m a big fan of Law & Order and Perry Mason . I’ve watched all the televised major cases and currently hooked on the big one which might just be hearsay meaning second hand info. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
