Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Not in a literal sense, Marge - but I regularly drive through the Jordan Valley, past Jericho, and up the Jericho-Jerusalem road (very steep!) - past the "Inn of the Good Samaritan". I was in Jericho many years ago - but now there's a new bypass road (due to the security situation). I like your poem!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Thanks, Stan. Interesting area and lovely photos. Some of the views remind me a bit of Safed (also a medieval mountain town) - but your buildings are taller and closer together. I'm doing ok physically - some days better than others. Some days my joints ache and I feel very stiff, can't do much at all. Yesterday evening I did my longest walk (about an hour altogether) up to the Citadel - ruins of a Crusader fort on the highest point in Safed. Went *very* slowly and carefully, with stick of course - part of it was up a fairly steep stony track - about half way up I started wondering "is this a good idea?" - but I made it almost to the top, where luckily there was a bench where I could sit and enjoy the mountain panorama and the sun setting behind Mount Meron. Gave me hope that one day I shall actually be able to hike again. It felt good to actually get out and away from the house. I really miss driving - feel like I'm in solitary house confinement, which is getting rather depressing. I also miss swimming - am longing to get to the pool and exercise in the water. About two and a half weeks to go till my 6-week checkup, when hopefully the restrictions will be lifted, and I shall feel a normal person again! Margaret Re: To stitch or not to stitch Interesting, Margaret. Thanks for providing the site.If you are interested, here's an English language site of the medieval village, Tourrettes sur Loup, near where I live:http://www.beyond.fr/villages/tourrettesloup.htmlHow are you doing physically these days.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I wear rubber flip-flop sandals all the time. I'm glad I timed my surgery for summer! It gets pretty cold, wet and windy here in winter - that would have been problematic. My toenails are getting horribly long. That will be my next challenge - to get down there and cut them. I never tried chewing them yet..... Margaret ----- Original Message ----- I've only worn socks twice since 31 May 2004. I wanted to work in the garden and put on some high boots, so that's why I put them on. It's a great feeling to be able to put on your own socks like an adult, isn't it? I haven't tried to chew or cut my toe nails yet. I had them done by a toe nail pro last time, which is sort of expensive. I think I'll try to cut them myself next time. I cut them every six months whether they need it or not!I wish you the greatest success in being able to chew your toenails. Keep trying.CiaoStaninfrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi Marilyn, That's right I remember you now as well. I'm a CRNA (nurse anesthetist). And I'm doing very well. I was back to work in three weeks,with my ceramic on ceramic hip and have had no problems since. Every once in a while I get a pop or twinge to remind me that something is different, but no big deal. The Doc up here that did me Is Dr Bauman. He works with Dr. Dr Burton and Dr Bieniek. I very often see people that have seen Dr Jolly for a second opinion. I hope you have been doing as well as I.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Stan: This is histerical! I love it, will save it for my husband, Mr. Chamber of Commerce. He has read all of the local history books. Did you go to the town's website? The question of the name is not the origin of the word, but the reason why this small town was named "Mexico". Some say that the settlers were on their way to Mexico, and just stopped here, naming it after their planned destination. The Wabash RR. you referred to is 2 blocks from my house, which was originally built in 1895. We have lived here for almost 7 years. The crime scene is mostly drugs, of all varieties, brought in from St.Louis, for the most part. And, the race population has changed since these statistics, as our blue collar work population was so low that one of the local companies went to Mexico (the country) and brought back a group of families. Now, the jail is full of illegal aliens...no green cards, those who followed the original families did not bother w/ legal papers. We are called "Mexicoans", to distinguish from Mexicans. But you missed the most salient feature of our town / county. We are the #1 county in soybean production in the state of Missouri! And, Winston Churchill was supposed to stay here and give a speech, but the political parties got all in a tizzy, and he was barred from the town....had to go to the nearby town of Fulton, and the College of Westminster, to give his speech. They has even built a beautiful gated entry to the estate where he was to stay, just for him to come through when he arrived. After he was barred, the road was never cut through, but the gate still stands. Happy net surfing! And keep up the exercises!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Stan, Thanks for the explanation. At least it's all written left-to-right! Margaret Re: To stitch or not to stitch MargaretI buy my computers in France, but I could never adapt to the ZWERTY French keyboard, even after a few months of trying. I was writing things professionally at the time, and I couldn't chew gum and concentrate on the French keyboard simultaneously.How do I get ñ's, ¿'s, ^'s, ¨ç's, etc? Simple. I bought a Spanish QUERTY keyboard, which is almost like what I learned on, but it enables one to type accent marks and certain letters, like ç, without typing in codes or changing the defaults.I just set and leave my keyboard in Spanish as a default language, but it still comes out English, unless I type in Spanish.There are many occasions when I need accent marks, so I couldn't live as well without a Spanish keyboard. The bloody Brits and Yanks are too xenophobic to every permit those foreign characters to be on their keyboard. They'd rather do it the hard way. ¡Es verdad! ¿No, señora?In case you are not aware of it, the Spaniards and Spaniardettes put question marks and exclamation points at the beginning and end of their sentences so that people know what's coming. The first of each symbol, for some reason, is topsy-turvey. ¿Cool, eh? & #64305; & #64308; & #64314; & #64316; Any computer can type virtually any symbol= s if you know what buttons to push. What I typed at the beginning of this paragraph has no meaning--to me. I merely pushed some buttons.CiaoStaninfr> Amigo Stan,> Beware, your fonts are showing!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Agreed, Stan, you do a knockout job with the funnies. (Someone needs to address the irony deficiency, though.) Yeah, checked out the URL for Tourrettes on the loup. Is this where you live, as in reside? Please tell me no, all those rocky roads 1200 m. above sea level. (Doesn't look like anything on the beach, e.g, Riviera.) Or is this where you send visiting relatives you'd just as soon not have to put up with? I've never regarded putting on socks as a distinctively adult behaviour. In fact, I've been told that real men don't wear socks at all. (Though it's plausible enough that your avoidance of socks has little to do with masculinity issues.) To get a toenail job in my part of town (borough of Queens, NYC) one would go to a nails 'salon' where most of the operators are lithe young Asian women. And be subjected to arousal factors too numerous to count. So I don't. How far off topic can we get? Re: To stitch or not to stitch > Hey, . I do the funnies around here, ya hear!? > > Which village?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi Stan. I live in Fox Lake IL. in front of my house is the Fox Lake river where the boats can come in or live Its sort of neat seeing the differant boats sitting out their. Well its almost 4:30 pm here. Well I'll say good night to you and have a nice day tomorrow. Take Care SusieStan <sagebush2020@...> wrote: You do fairly well yourself, , with the funnies. You got me chuckling at this late hour 10:30 PM in France. I'm pooped. It was a heavy day. I walked 40 minutes, swam 35 minutes, stationarily biked 20 minutes, and am going to die in about 10 minutes!I think you have must have caught "Tourettes Syndrome" (one "r") When you checked out the site Tourrettes sur Loup (2 "r"s). To save you time surfing for the meaning of Tourettes Syndrome, here's a brief description of the malady Tourette Syndrome is a inherited neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements, called tics and uncontrollable vocal sounds. In just a small handful of cases does the person, the vocalizations are inapropriate words and phrases (that's a nice way, , of saying "cuss words"), this is called coprolalia. The outbursts are not meaningful. The involuntary outbursts include eye blinking, repeated throat clearing, sniffing, arm thrusting, kicking movements, shoulder shrugging, jumping, and dissing France. The envious way you put down where I live is a good example of the syndrome.TSL, as it's called to the initiated, and my house, are only 22 minutes to the coastal town of Cagnes sur Mer. The Côte d'Azur International Airport is only 30 minutes from my house (I shouldn't have told you that!).Cannes is only 40 minutes when all the foreign tourists aren't clogging the roads.I live 350 metres above the sea, not 1,200 metres as you stated (you've evidenced more of the syndrome!), and the medieval village of TSL is something that even Monsieur Walter Disney couldn't equal! On more serious notes, I get my toe jobs in another medieval village, Bar sur Loup (everybody is always going to the Loup around here!), where a cute young blond Frogette does it to me for a relatively modest fee.All seriousness aside, how are you doing physically? You already revealed your mental state, so you need add nothing on that front.Yesterday after twenty minutes of my forty minute walk I wished that the walk was planned for only twenty minutes. Yesterday was one of those vicissitudinal days, whatever in hell that means. Today was great, which seems to substantiate my unproven theory that recovery from a total hip operation is, indeed, not a constant progression.Would you agree? Answer in 25 words or less.I don't know why, but the more tired I am, the longer are the words that I use, except in this and the previous sentences.Good night, wherever in the world you are.Mira y drushbaStaninfr> > > > > > > >SIF: I am in rural Missouri,> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > Hi I'm in Hannibal New London area.
