Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Thank you!
The dentist was ... interesting. She was taking impressions to have a crown made for an implant I had done last year. It's the furthest tooth in the back on top, and due to my small mouth, she had a terrible time removing a small screw from it and putting in the one they needed to take the impression with. It didn't hurt, but I had my head in some awkward positions, and she told me a few times to breathe deeply through my nose so I wouldn't swallow the tiny screwdriver! I didn't swallow anything, but I was a bit nerved up when I left from being on alert! Bottom line, though, the impression came out fine, and I will be getting the crown put in in a few weeks. I've required a LOT of work on this tooth in the past year, and it'll be great to finally be finished with it.

Oh goodness ! You did brilliant! I would have probably passed out. I am relieved for you that this can all be over soon.

I talked to a technician on the phone (I was surprised I got through, considering the strike!) and, unfortunately, if they come to make repairs they will be replacing our good old reliable copper wiring with fiber-optics. We've been avoiding this, as a friend of ours who's a longtime employee of the phone company told us to hang onto the copper as long as we can. But now, they will not make repairs on copper---they simply replace it. I'm scared that they'll drill holes or rip through the basement ceiling, but the rep told me they wouldn't need to do that. We'll talk it over tonight and if we decide we have to, we'll make the appointment. Considering the strike, we may be without our landline for a while ...

I fully appreciate you wanting to hold on to the copper and it is a shame that option has been taken away.

On the other hand there are some advantages to the fibre optic and it may even be less complicated an install than you might think. I hope you can find the right solution to please you.

I love the countdown. This place is great!
This weekend my 2 boys(21 years and 13 years) are going to order pizza and we are going to watch a movie for Mother's Day. I can't think of anything better for Mother's Day than to spend some time with my boys without any distractions.
I hope every mother here gets to spend some good quality time with their kids this weekend.
Have a great evening.

Nice to 'meet' you veronica. Happy mother's day. I agree. For me it is about the time together. Time is priceless.

Merry Saturday,
It is early morning and I am enjoying cups of tea and listening to The Rolling Stones on my new record player Both were birthday gifts from Mr Festive. I've not had a record player for many years. Can't wait to start collecting again.

It's a beautiful morning. Wishing you all the same.

You have a lot going on these days friend. I know that Har 's situation is especially stressful. I am always pleased when I hear she has taken her meds. She is fighting on , bless her and you.

Hope you manage to recharge your body and spirit this weekend after your busy week.

Prayers for Har's health continue.

Thank you, Sam~
Appreciate them so much

Fingers crossed that a lighter dose of the antibiotics sit well with her today. One more try, if not we will get a different prescription on Monday.

How are you today?

Good Saturday morning my Christmas friends!I'm working at Bernie's store this morning Bernie is not feeling well. You'll be fine soon but in the meantime I'm the man.

It's a beautiful morning here in Bellville so I have all the doors open but I'm sure Bernie would not like that. I better close the doors and get back to work.

I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning, dear friends~
Merry Saturday!

Amazing heat lightning show last night before bed, still 85 degrees when I went to bed. Surreal waking to to 50 degrees!
Glad it cooled down, though.

Wishing you all a blessed day filled with relaxation & time spent with those who mean the most to you~

I thought that I saw some when I woke up and then I went out to get my coffee and it was drizzling again lol.

I'm having some French toast now. Not quite on the Bernie level I'm sure but pretty tasty!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! Happy Mother's Day weekend! I hope that Crown is back today but if for some reason he's not I will post the count later this morning. I saw the sun (I thought) when I got up and went out and it was drizzling again. Geez! But it's not all bad. At least we have not rushed into the heat and humidity this year. I'm sure we will have plenty of that in June, July and August. I am enjoying my french toast for breakfast and then I will head out to run and do some errands.
I hope you all have a great Saturday! Enjoy this weekend!
