Thanks for updating us, Quix.
I had missed this story the first go-round. My goodness! Where to begin?! Sorry to hear about the continued fall-out and the special new UTI in the mix. At least you have those four head of cat to keep you company on the range.
Take it as easy as you can!
Sorry for leaving all of you hanging. I was felled by continued wheezing and a new UTI. Haven't felt like doing much. I hope to be back this weekend.
Q :((
Even though my English is not perfect, I get your great humor Quix. You sure have many talents. It feels strange laughing while everything is going wrong, but it sure is a good way to deal with difficult situations. It is so much better to be able to laugh afterwards, than being frustated :)
My best,
Dagun,
Laughing out loud over this.....yarn.... we stink around here...hahah...all the while knowing I shouldn't be!
How good you are to us to lay this out -- putting us all in stiches - thank God none of you three had to get any of those!
Blender, you need a blender. Add something fruity, and decadent ontop of this adventure.
Now grab that straw before leaning in next time ;)
Speedy recovery wishes to the Quixy family :)
Glad everyone is the Q house is okay! Best wishes for a safe, happy and uneventful weekend!
This line slayed me :-) ... "I was confident that I could unravel her legs, because of all my practice with yarn." I am knitter/ hear me roar. Love it!
I too am sorry for laughing -- just so funny in how you relay these adventures. I'm glad that everyone is okay, and want to encourage you to visit your dentist. He/she can take those tall cusps out of occlusion so you get your bite back ...
Everyone is fine. Ann is chagrined, Mother is sore, but improving and my wheezing is improving. Turns out Mr. Mouse was trampled to death in a stampede by four head of cat
I also didn't know that you could burn anything in a crockpot. We routinely leave ours on all night.
I still can't gnash or chew. Daggnabit!

I feel awful for having a laugh at your expense but I really needed one today & thank you for that. On the other hand I do hope that you, your mum & your sister are all OK. I'm glad you got up off the floor in the end because I was thinking Oh No she's screwed!!!
Have you heard anything from the coroner regarding what the cause of death was in Mr Mouse?
I hope you are having a better day soon. Karry.
Your story about the roast reminded me of one of my recent mess up with dinner. Quite often I like to try out new things and decided I was hungry for BBQ but didn't wan ti to be pork. So after some thought I decided to make a BBQ rump roast in my slow cooker. What could be harder than that and was fool proof.
The roast had been in 6 hours on low and had 2 hours to go, when I ran out of steam for the day. I mean even tooth picks couldn't keep my eyes open for another minute. OK 2 hours sure I can take an hour nap and have time to wake up fully before I had my dinner.
Well after setting my alarm, which doesn't always wake me up due to hearing problems I laid down for a 1 hour nap. Six hours later I finally woke up. I had no idea you could burn something in a slow cooker, but let me assure you that you can. The roast was all black and hard as a rock. I couldn't even cut into it with a meat clever. I ended up running to the store and picking up some pulled pork to have for dinner.

I feel a little guilty for chuckling out loud but you're just so darn entertaining. I know this is not the first time I've told you that you need to write a memoir, documenting your various mishaps and misadventures.
Oh, and I have close ties with the RCMP. I'll put in a good word for you.
In the meantime, tomorrow is another day!
That sounds horrendous. You have such adventures. I hope everyone really is ok - doesn't sound as if you are yourself - maybe your sis can give you time with cats and take Mom out for afternoon? Don't know all circumstances, so not sure if that's even possible.
You write so very well. You evoke such vividly visual scenes you could write scripts for television, or a novel - I'd be reading you for sure!!
I forgot the worst part. Mother's falling must have maid me tense as my spasticity is worse and my jaw is semi-permanently out-of-whack. I have a subluxing TMJ disc which has recently been sliding along. When I bit down just the two tallest cusps meet, but no ability to chew or even gnash properly.
:(( I'm gnashless.
