Back in the City Again


someone emailed me and asked if i was ok, cuz i hadnt posted in a bit . sorry about that, but sis was in town from the uk and i had a chance to go over to the cabin for a visit . it was good too. i stuffed myself every day with really tasty food . the corn this year was incredible . the best in 20 years . sweet but not too sweet and really flavourful . mmmmmmmm all that corn slathered in butter was probably not the most heart heathy thing i could eat (nor were all the ice cream cones, but sis FORCED me to have them), but all is good and i am feeling fine and getting stronger by the week .

before i went away i did manage to get thru the archives up til aug 8 so i have a couple of quick posts and then i'll get right back up to date soon . in the meantime enjoy some sausages...............

One Month Ago Today

I can't believe its been a month since i had the heart attack . it doesnt seem that long at all , but it sure explains why when i was at the hospital the other day, they gave me funny looks when i said the attack happend 2 weeks ago, when it was really four . oops.

about the hospital trip.........had a bit of a scare this week . with all the new meds i have to take , one wasnt exactly playing nicely with the others and i wound up in the hospital again . what i thought was an oncoming heart attack , turned out to be intense gas pressure , which exactly mirrored major angina symptoms . after a day of being poked & prodded, drained of blood and fighting with the tangle of heart monitor and IV wires , it was determined that my heart was just fine and there was nothing to worry about . i'm not worrying so much now , but i can tell you it was sure scary that morning trying to make it to the hospital . *shudder*

i still dont have the strength to sit at the puter for that long , but i did manage to find these sausages................


Can You Guess Where I'm From ?? - its a big world out there and we all sound funny to one another

Zero 7 - Destiny - i love this song

10 Gnomes - Chapter 7 - The Solitude - earlier chapters here

Tom Lehrer - this guy is a very bright and funny satirist who did a bunch of lectures in the 60s that are very entertaining . the kind that make you learn while you are laughing

Duck ! - Think Outside the Flock . fun logic game

Why Aren't There Any Iraq War Protest Songs ? - here are 2745 of them free to d/l . the corporate radio stations just arent giving them any airplay and have fired station managers who do play them . so much for free speech

Mr Muckles - what about my kumquats ! classic w.c. fields

Why Must I Cry - maybe its the recovery , i'm not really sure , but something about this video intrigues me . i'm just not sure why lol

Havana 3am - Reach the Rock - an oldie but a goodie *chair boogie*

Feist - My Moon My Man - my fav song of feist's who is playing here this week , if i felt stronger i'd go for sure . i hear shes amazing in concert
