Have you tried Kohl's?

Not yet and good idea, si mam ma'am.  We shall pre-go to reconnoiter, si mam ma'am.

I'm a moccasin wearer myself.

Another idea unconsidered by us, si mam ma'am.

However, Mama T-B. probably wants something with more padding, si man.

She definitely wants distinctly nonslip soles, not on moccasins that we've seen man.

Nevertheless, we shall snoop for anything in the ballpark, si and gracias mam ma'am.

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Got Mini-B. to skool quite early, successful we man.

It is because we swiped his phone while he was in the shower, biggest contributor to delay man.

 

We then returned to the casa and tried to siesta, unsuccessful we man.

We arose and took the T-B.-mobile to the repair shop, losing air from one tyre man.

The tyre had a 2"-long, very thick nail in it, amazing man.

The charge for flat-repair was $Many ($2x2x2 +2), most reasonable anywhere man.

 

Lunch was onecan of [Many00% - 1%] fat-free Progresso chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

Siesta #2 was attempted, not much better than #1 man.

 

Din-din was all but onepack of the Yakitori chicken rice, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Movie night was again a basketball game, watch first half Two Guys man.

Many (2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

This meets our weekly double-digit popcorn quota (2x2x2 +2+1), and only Wednesday man.  :dance: 

 

We shall try to get Mini-B. embedded in timely fashion, good luck man.

Must take Mama T-B. to doctor Thursday a.m., chauffeur senior she man we man.

Might see Many-year-old chica Thursday afternoon, non-Two Guys eve man.

And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

WOW TBoneTX, another girlfriend?  How many do you have now?

 

And how do you do it?

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Last month I got my mammogram. I thought it seemed to go well, though it was a little painful. What was strange is that it took a long time to get the results. A letter never showed up so I called, eventually something showed up in a portal. Part of my mammogram had been messed up and needed to be redone, but the rest was ambiguous and not great? They'd seen something and the radiologist wasn't sure what it was. No one would discuss the results with me, just that it was described as a mass that could be cancerous. I was devastated. I needed a redo so then had to chase the doctor to send new orders about it - she said it was urgent to get this redone and wanted another test about the mass. I call radiology again and am transferred over and over, they tell me it would be two months to the next available. I could not wait that long. They tell me my only option then is to go two hours away to a hospital breast cancer center.

 

So that is where I was yesterday, my husband waiting nervously in the hallway. There were many women there in varying states of  sadness. The tech was very kind for multiple tests and the doctor reviewed everything immediately. They could not really explain why I was required to come back in, as it was their opinion that the findings of a mass are benign. Get a redo in another year. When I came out of the exam room, my husband was shaking with happiness. The stress of not knowing what this lump was had taken it's toll on us both this month, especially with everything going on with my family.

 

I have a family history of cancer, including breast cancer, so I very much encourage everyone to get checked.

I'm so glad you were able to get some good news out of the hospital.

And how do you do it?

Between 0 and 1, who knows man.

Actually, 0, because none are rubias and therefore they don't count, si and no man.

 

We chiefly use our patented pick-up line, see man:

"Excuse us, Miss -- we haven't met yet, no man, so we still have a chance with you, si man!"

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Slept poorly again, come on man.

Had headache and sinus issues all day, Texas weather certainly not Many man.

 

Took Mama T-B. to doc appointment, chauffeur senior she man we man.

Returned to casa and attempted to siesta, no luck man.

 

Lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

 

Took medicine and apprised Many-year-old chica of our situation, wait half an hour for verdict man.

Medicine didn't help and in fact hosed our stomach, regrettably had to cancel with chica man.

Attempted Siesta #2, which wasn't much better than the first, come on man.

Finally popped HSM (for daytime) and felt somewhat better, still lousy man.

 

Din-din was Tuna Glop, ingest we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. returned Mini-B. quite late, OK with us man.

This was because Miu T-B. zzz'd on our lap for nearly 1 hour + half an hour, zzz lap-miu man.

The entire time, we could stroke her fluffy miu-tummy, softest fur ever man.

Ironically, The Miu in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas were on TV, watch we with zzz-ing miu man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+2) ESs and 2 GSs for Friday, hope we recover for them man.

They are in 2 groups in opposite directions from the casa, not a terribly long route man.

Stupid weather isn't supposed to warm up past the Manys, hate winter we man and shaddap mam ma'am man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

HSM contemplated at bedtime, ingest HSM we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.
