D-League

[BBUK]

Sir,

My BIL and I write each other letters once in a while, nearly knowing we are transmitting code that either wife (The sisters) would not be able to decipher. (Our children as well for that matter.) My BIL's cursive writing (Oxymoron?) is beautifully masterful. I do admit, mine used to be, I do not practice as I once did but I still have some flair. (I do admit though that My Darling has a gift for languages as she speaks Korean, Spanish, and English fluently.)

Yeah I like seeing "kids" try using a pencil when they do their sums or really, any form of math. It gives me a chuckle... calculators were just coming on board late in my education. The teachers were adamant that we could do our work on paper... Yeah right...

Good morning D-League. We currently have a light rain and a temperature of 41° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see periods of rain and a high of 49°.

Have a great day.

Good morning, D, read Luke 14 this morning.

Prayers for 55 this morning.

Last night was the Kiwanis auction in Owensboro, our family did good on the stuff we donated, my sister sent 4 jars of jams and jellies, they went for $85, my friend donated 2 Angels he makes out for old plates $125, my sister bought 4 Angels they sold for $200, $50 each, Mrs. M made an orange juice cake, it went for $65, I donated a red, white and blue heart it went for $85; a cancer ribbon piece $75 and 9 Christmas ornaments they went for $245! Oue family and my friend did good for charities last night!!! That was without an Uncle Ken ornament!!!!!

On pins and nettles until a piece I made for SC gets to Florida! Bert if you thought I sealed your pieces I sent you, wait till SC gets his!!!!LOL

We have had .6" of rain, supposed to get the same amount later!

I hope the D, has a great day!!!! Prayers for the D, especially 55!!

I started college in 1964 and used slide rules. I did not see a calculator until 1972. I was in night time business school by then. The good thing about using slide rules was the rounding was so gross that it sometimes made things easier.

My cursive hand writing is definitely code. I have to type it soon or I can't figure out what it is!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League! Coming to you from a hospital bed waiting for the anesthesiologist. H-Hour in about 45 minutes. Thanks so much for all the good wishes.

I’ll be very happy to be on the other side of this an doing my rehab.

1964 was a good year. And to prove my math (no calculator) and reading problem skills you should be ** years old or there abouts. I won't put the actual number though. I now know why BBUK calls you sir.

Yep, 76 years, 6 months and 1 day old.

I am a failed chemist. Hard courses and no jobs. The railroad hired me and wanted a business major, no chemistry. It worked out well. The last 20 years I worked in Chemical Sales and Marketing! I actually knew how soap was made and how dangerous liquified chlorine was!

You have the same B-day as my youngest brother. I'm 23 yrs older than him.

I started out in Chemical Engineering and had the grades, but as I got into the Chem. Eng courses I decided I wasn't interested. Everything worked out great.

Spent a half hour this p.m. by myself talking with three Hwy Dept officials about the redesign of I-71/75 thru Cincy & Covington including a new, added bridge. The reason I had them to myself is because I was misinformed as to the design presentation time at the Kenton Cty Bldg & was two hours late. Everyone else had left. Good deal, really. Haha. They were talkative & straightened out my misconceptions.

New bridge will be 5 thru lanes for 71/74 versus current 4 & will have 6/5 lanes up the hill to Ft. Mitchell. Plus a lot of added side roads access, Current bridge will still be interstate, but used for local Cincy & Covington traffic. Call it a collector highway.

Looked good except that it ends southbound at Dixie Hwy/Ft. Mitchell as 4 lanes vs. all the way out to I275. I expect that will become the new choke area. They said there will probably a (much) smaller project afterwards to deal with that concern.

All said, I'll probably be dead before I see it. I mean it still isn't funded by Buttplug & Bite Me even with all the infrastructure funds allocated last year.

Also, won't have tolls. Bevin said he could support them in the 2019 election & it cost him 15-20K votes in NKy vs. 2015. He lost by 5K.

Hey D-Leaguers. So many of you were kind enough to send me good wishes that I wanted to let you know that I’m out of surgery and apparently everything went well.

I’m in the recovery room waiting to get feeling back below my waist so I can pass a Basic mobility test and get the hell out of this hospital.

Thanks again for all the prayers and good thoughts.

 

[storm1507]

Good news Md.

There's key area below the waist to get feeling back. You probably could use someone to help you out there - it won't be me.

It seems you are okay. Do not want to make you laugh........yet but I am thankful it seems all is good.

Some readers digest jokes... I used to read the digest a lot but it has been a long time. Even submitted a few articles but never knew if they were published or not...

[BBUK]

Also would as the D-League.... I have read and read and read this site. It seems I remember some have had works published. One goal I have is to submit some items for publishing to an agency I can trust for a fair shake. No rush as I'd have to finalize many but I am a good record keeper. No urgency at all. Just throwing it out. Thanks in any event.

Widely regarded as the worst Christmas movie of all time. 1964. Now a cult classic along the lines of Plan 9 From Outer Space and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Thanks for those hip —pun intended —jokes BBUK.

Back home in my own bed watching lame —another pun! —Christmas movies of the Hallmark variety with my equally crippled wife.

A sincere thanks to all of the D-League for caring and wishing me well. You guys are the best.

I am so thankful and actually shocked. I'd have thought a longer stay but as I say, I am thankful for you and your family. Just amazing, the capabilities today to correct malfunctions of the body.

 

[BBUK]

Man we have had some parties the last several days. (Of the work variety.) Had a retirement luncheon from a man out of my office. We have our Agency luncheon tomorrow. Had my office luncheon late last week. Had my Agency Breakfast yesterday. It has been a LONG time since I have had those opportunities. I am thankful...

Should be a short day tomorrow as we should get out early and I have all my critical tasks accounted for, just need to complete some training. (I can do that from home or over the weekend.) One thing, I do have to come in Friday for about an hour and a half. (My day off.) Oh well, no biggie there... My Darling and I were going to try to go harvest some oysters Saturday. I am trying for that!

Have a peaceful and restful along with a HEALING rest of your evening....

Good morning from ATX. Currently 37°F and clear. Today's high expected around 64°F. Huge temperature change from 24 hours ago.

Christmas party tonight at Little Woodrow's. Plan on riding the bus. Look forward to visiting everybody.

Y'all behave. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 52° and rainy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see a high of 53° and partly cloudy skies.

Have a great day.

Yeah, I have watched a few of those myself lately. Daughter came out of her bedroom the other day and one of those movies was on the TV and she said that she could not see me watching those types of movies. I told her that I have to save the regular ones we watch each year for when her mother gets home because she wants to watch the traditional ones too. Most of the time if I am watching one, I generally dose off and on and don't remember it anyway.

We care because some of us have been through what you are going through now, I've had both mine replaced, just wanting you to get better. I'm not a doctor nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn, but you will be glad you had it done!

Morning Legionnaires!

30° this morning with light winds. Today's high around 50° and sunny.

Little workout planned for the morning and then on to the gym to train my student and after that back home for a nap. Someone asked me the other day after visiting one of the old offices I used to work in how I could just laze around and do nothing now. I told them that I don't just laze around and that I had a few things I did throughout the week but, I did them when I wanted and lazed around when I felt like it. Four dogs and three cats laying around help keep me company if I need it. While I do get a little antsy on occasion, for the most part retiring was the best move I have made in a while. A little over two years now and I am loving it.

Hey, you guys enjoy your day. Md and wife, here's wishing you two a speedy recovery with God's blessing.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Cold and "wintry mix" this morning in the east - somewhere between snow and sleet. May turn to a bit of real snow later.

My wife and I trying to get back to a semblance of normal today. Easier for me in some ways, as I can work from my home office.

Got through the night with little discomfort. So far, I've avoided taking any pain meds, which range up to pure, uncut oxycodone. Hope that continues. I have to by order of the doctor take a light med before my physical therapy session today just so they can do their worst.

Along with you guys cheering me up, two work buddies dropped this off last night, along with a bottle of wine for my wife:


I've never had it but have heard good things about it. Christmas is getting merrier.

Hope its a good day for everyone.

 

[warrior-cat]

@MdWIldcat55 Forgot that tomorrow starts the Bowl games so, there are some football games being played tomorrow to watch. Not big names but, football none the less.

Thanks Warrior. I'm doing a light work-from-home load, but yeah, the football games will be a distraction.

And I know for us the Bengals are a major one as well when the weekend hits. I have been looking at those playoff calculators. Bengals almost certainly in but with everything to play for up to a division championship with a Ravens collapse - possible with their QB situation. Or at least hosting a home game.

Those early, stupid losses, especially to the Steelers, hurt now, but I guess rushing Burrow after the apendectomy would have been a mistake.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Morning D League

70° with stormy weather in the forecast. The high should reach 74°. There is a small craft advisory in the Gulf so if you have a small boat it is recommended you keep it out of the water today. The tornadoes going through the Deep South are in our vicinity so beware. We can handle hurricanes but tornadoes are an entirely different animal.

My daughter is spending the week over in Cedar Key, her favorite spot on earth, and they have a forecast that is a little more severe. Once this system passes it will be sunny skies and warm weather. It should be out of here by this evening.

Take care all,

Cedar Key (Population 702)

Cincinnati definitely has the tougher schedule going forward between them and the Ravens though. With Brady and the Bucs licking their wounds, and the Patriots also in the hunt the next two games will not be easy even though they are down. Both of those are away and then we have the Bills and Ravens at home. Will be interesting for sure.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Yep it seems ice is around this morning. I haven't been out yet but my oldest dropped off my grand daughter as her day care is closed today. We have been at it already running back and forth. She is with her grandma now in the other room after I worked her up into a frenzy. The little booger butt when I told her on the phone a couple days ago papa was gonna whoop her butt the two year old told me I was too far away and couldn't whoop her butt. I told her Papa would whoop her butt when she came here again. I got her!!! (We had a blast but Papa has to go back to work.)😍

I guess I will head into the office as we had a 0900 delay. Office golf and our agency luncheon is on tap. I better show... Have a great day! No coffee yet, gotta hit the pot.

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

My Day of Leisure involved more housework than I had planned. lol We're having our annual Christmas Party for all of our great nephews (and their families and girlfriends) tomorrow. No kids for us so my wife's nephews have been coming to the house every Christmas (and summer) for a party for over 20 years. They're all over 20 now, but they still come to see their Auntie. Lots of reading as well yesterday.

Good news Md. I hope your therapy goes well today.

Sawnee...we visited Cedar Key our first year in the area. It was so crowded we couldn't find a parking spot. We haven't been back. Maybe one day we'll try it during the week while we're in the area.

Doc visit this morning for an annual checkup and very busy here til Monday. I hope everyone has a great day.
