D-League

My phone is crapping out. Ye Ole LG Velvet... Nearly EXACTLY two years. Almost overnight the battery won't hold a charge for about five hours... Gyroscope is whacky using Google maps, ...yadda yadda yadda...

Just ordered My Darling an iPhone 14 plus....

I need an Android... Any decent recommendations? I have T Mobile the senior plan but I don't want to buy part of the company when I buy the phone...

My work phone is an iPhone.... Thanks for any input...

Those thousand dollar phones they can have, looking for cheap and good.... Yeah, good an cheap.,

Will work for a cheaper phone bill. I have a sign and everything...😁

Dang. Just checked the weather forecast through Christmas -- chance of snow Friday, and if we get a covering it just might stay around. Lows predicted at 12 F and highs at 22 F.

Been a while since a white Christmas, as far as i can remember. That'd be nice.

If I never see a snowflake again it will be too soon. I had a lady (fellow employee) in San Antonio when I was at Fort Sam get fighting angry when I wouldn't turn around to look at some snowflakes. (I saw it was bothering her so I fought the urge to turnaround.) (My desk faced the interior of the room.) The lady was ready to file a complaint against me (And we always got along splendidly but I guess I rubbed her mad spot.) She got angry like I never saw her act in nearly six years of working around her at the time. (I knew she must have been having some trouble at home but at that point I was really trying to help her once I realized it was something besides me.)

She got a couple other people involved as witnesses to what she called a confrontational attitude.

It got to the point I had to defuse it. I looked at her with about six or seven other people standing in my office. (It was confrontational after the initial contact.)

I said yeah Mary (Her name was Mary.) I can see it now at the hearing.

They will ask the charge; I stated; "It will be a charge of failing to look at a snowflake." (I winked at her as soon as I said it and she threw a paper at me and then hugged me laughing.)

I enjoy the festive spirit so Ky Bourbon. I like it plain too. I just like it. We got some this weekend and will keep it around until 2023. Not the same bottle but when we run out it will be replenished. Ah, so good.

But remember I am a strange bird. I had a mess of fried chicken livers tonight for supper. And a bunch of green beans with ham pieces. Strange bird

BB, I have a Velvet via T Mobile also. Not quite two years. Close out special though I didn’t know LG was going out of phone business till several months later. Never have really liked it. Also too long for good pocket fit.

DW, DS, and somewhat techie good friend all have Pixel 6 and are happy with them. Little smaller than Velvet, but new Pixel 7 is a bit smaller still. Leaning to 7 when I get fed up enough with Velvet.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and foggy. Today's high may reach 53°F. Meh, we'll take it.

Huge spate of US mail robbery happening around ATX. Thieves stealing checks, packages, gift cards, you name it. Crazy.

Seems like UK football heading in right direction. What about basketball?

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

We go to the Columbia Restaurant often. (oldest and probably largest Spanish Restuarant in America) and they make it right at your table and serve it in a Sangria pitcher


Ingredients​

  • 1 orange
  • 1 lime 1
  • 375 ml bottle of Sangre de Toro wine (or any other red Rioja wine)
  • 1 ounce Torres 5 brandy (or substitute any Spanish brandy)
  • Splash of lemon-lime soda
  • Cherries for garnish
  • Simple Syrup Recipe
  • To make simple syrup, combine one part water to one part sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Chill before use.

Good Morning

57° with winds NE at 6 mph, sun is peaking out and will soon rise. We have clear skies now but the clouds will roll in off of the Gulf and by this afternoon we have a 77% chance of rain. Probably an inch and a half or two inches. Not much. Our high will peak at 66° .

I talked to the folks in Kentucky and they are bracing for some cold weather up there. May get below zero by Christmas. That should be against the law. I am much too soft for weather like that and no way I could make it from day to day living like that. Mercy be.

I trust all are well and staying warm. And if you heat your house with fossil fuels I hope your budget covers the bill. Folks way up North especially. They voted for this mess so I guess things happen that way.

My wife loves that kind of weather. My Blue Kentucky Girl

Good morning D-League. Getting colder in the east. And we’re into the year’s darkest days. Would be gloomy except there are lots of Christmas lights around my neighborhood.

I’ve resumed my morning walks. Just a mile for now, but I feel I can do more soon.

Beautiful sliver of moon this morning as the first light of day appears over our woods. Very serene.

Hope you all have a great day.

Pretty fast recovery. When can your wife start back or has she already?

Speaking of dark days, I believe tomorrow is supposed to be the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) so, days will start to slowly lighten back up.

Thanks for asking after me BB, Sawnee and Warrior.

I’ve been surprised by how good I feel. My physical therapist took me out for a walk yesterday so I figured if she thought it was okay, then I was good to go. Got more than 3,000 steps in this morning. No significant swelling. I do have bruising on my hip but I’m told by the PT that’s normal and not to worry.

Things just went right for me I guess, at least so far. Blessed.

My wife is back to work with that “boot” she has to wear. She may be in more discomfort overall than I am, but she’s getting around fine.

The past week has played out better than I thought it would.

Morning Legionnaires!

39° this morning with moderate winds. Intermittent clouds and sunshine today with a high in the low 40's expected.

Feeling a little stiff this morning so extra stretching before the workout coming.

Wife giving me a honey do list this morning, so I am headed out to the local ACE to pick up a new bathtub spout with shower diverter for daughter's bathroom and a few other items she wants. Daughter's shower has a now nonfunctional diverter. Apparently been that way for a few months so she only takes baths and wants to take showers. I ask my wife why they had not told me before and she said they thought it would be too hard to replace and would just wait until something else happened to the system and just replace it all at once. Now that one of my sons (daughter's half-brother) is coming for a few days on Christmas day, they want it fixed because he will be using her bathroom.

You guys be careful out there today (I am looking at you @MdWIldcat55) and God Bless.

I posted the other day about a wreck I had years ago and the casts and etc. Shortly after the first surgery and while still in the hospital, the weekend came up. They started coming in the room a couple of times a day and making me walk up and down the hallway on crutches with someone beside me. It was so much work that I'd be sweating when they let me go back to bed. When the surgeon found out, he went ballistic. His instructions had been I was only to get out of bed long enough to go to the bathroom and someone was to help me get there.

You are doing wonderful. Full recovery is soon. I had great progress on both my hip and knee. The docs are good at replacements, but it is still a brutal job. They stretch connective tissue to it limit.
