On a totally unrelated topic. John, I am thinking of you this afternoon … remembering a post of yours from several years ago … as I toast my toes by the fire. It is a cold Sunday afternoon here in St. Louis.

Hoping all is well with you and Graham,

Tom

Happy New Year to you both!

Rather belated because I didn’t notice you had started updating the journal again – must get the hang of this rss thingy some time…

Anyway. Why pay for anti-malware software? Just use Microsoft Security Essentials. Job done.

Anything is better than surgery !
I hope by now your winter cough has left, we’ve had very strange weather so far this winter, causing all kinds of coughs and allergies.
Wishing you and Graham kinder days this year, we all seem to have fought a battle or two in 2011.
Throw us a fish every once in awhile and fill us in
Hugs,
~Jo

Oh, fiddledeedee on HTML5! They have to mess around with something that works. I can’t remember who said it, but, “Anything marked ‘New and Improved!’ probably is neither.”

Glad to hear about your leg. Surgery is something I prefer to avoid whenever possible. I spent way too many hours walking recently and my legs are complaining. I have to keep doing it, though. As my grammie said, “Use it or lose it.” I like your saying better, “Needs must.”

Good luck on shedding that winter cough! Mine is perennial, I guess. Another thing about aging….[sigh].

Good health and prosperity to you and Graham! Hugs, ~ Sil

When you wrote “Getting older has almost nothing at all to do with getting wiser.” I thought about it for a while, then I deduced that: “You can get older without getting wiser but you can’t get wiser without getting older.”

Your observations often seem to spark attempts at creativity, John. Thank you kindly.

I can see Graham getting some bending and stretching exercise in the near future as the two of you figure out how to work the application and removal of the support stocking. However, if all goes to plan, things should be improving for that leg. Glad to read that the veins are good.

Sounds like you might be able to enjoy walking around this summer, something to look forward to and should help your resolve to wear the stocking. Wishing you and Graham the best.

But oh how much better than surgery I suspect.
I feel for you, I quit wearing stockings as I was tired of getting them on and off.

Oh yes – what joy – wearing supporting stockings – but hey, if they help you, you WILL wear them, no?!
Good luck, as with everything else…. you are two brave men!
