Subj : Health Was: Nuts To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Sep 12 2019 15:45:00 Hi Nancy! NB> Continuing from the Pond, 10 Sept at almost 11:00am That was a nice long weekend! BM>>> You'll have a few messages to catch up on at your convenience. :) NB>>> Indeed I did.... and this is the last of that set... BM>> But wait: there's more! NB>> As long as we keep replying to each other, there will always be NB>> more... but a new set of them, at least.... BM> Oddly enough does tend to work out that way!! NB> That is, after all, what keeps the echo going.... Does seem to work that way! BM>> Probably. Don't recall the details for that day but have been getting BM>> some outdoor stuff done. NB>> At least that is good progress... BM> True. The Burning Bush in the back yard has the snippable branches BM> gone now; need to saw the remainder as larger than can be trimmed with BM> the loppers. And as those are hidden from the front/usualy viewing BM> angle not at the top of the list to be done any more. Will get done, BM> but got some other projects to get caught up on (weeding and other BM> trimming) and may as well wait a couple of weeks as those larger BM> branches need to be bundled anway, and may as well put them out during BM> the free Fall Clean Up weeks. NB> Sounds like a reasonable plan.... :) And LIS in other messages, just too hot out there to do extensive yard work. One thing to work up a sweat, another to just be standing and dripping profusely! BM>> She used to stay up late and get up early to get things done and make BM>> everything organized/back to normal immediately. I think she finally BM>> 'smartened up' and realized doors can be closed and things don't have BM>> to be done _now_. NB>> Most important is to get things taken care of that will be in use NB>> right away or at least soon... if it isn't likely to be needed NB>> until the next trip, there's no rush.... :) BM> She has cleaned up -- figured she would! Not sure of her put-away BM> routine; she doesn't need the electrical converters/adapters like I do BM> -- mine do get stored in the luggage. NB> Yup, some stuff does just need to be used right away, so gets NB> uppacked quickly... other stuff might even just as well wait in NB> the suitcase for the next trip... Plus doesn't take up valuable storage space if stored inside the suitcase, especially if not going to be used until the next trip NB> (You didn't answer anything below this... got distracted...? I NB> left it as is, but unquoted my stuff...) Me? Get distract -- oo, wow! Look at that!! NB>> That would be sufficiently "non-city" to be nice to live in... :) NB>> My youngest brother, though, now lives and works in NYC... lives in NB>> Brooklyn, and works in the whole area... He seems to like the milieu NB>> just fine... I've visited him there, but wouldn't want to live there.. BM> "Different strokes" and all that! I don't mind 'hustle and bustle' BM> (up to a point!); sometimes think during the newsshots of the floor of BM> the New York Stock Exchange that's one job I definitely would not want: BM> "now" is too late! Of course some people thrive on it. NB> Yup, some people thrive on it.... but I'm with you... I'd not NB> want that job, either.... 'hustle and bustle' is ok in the short NB> term, but I'd not want it constantly.... To me it's fun as something exciting and different but overall like my low-key lifestyle. OTOH sittin' on the veranda shooin' flies is too laid back for me. Again would be nice for a vacation, but I like a little more excitement than that. (Also makes me cringe at the thought of the shuffle board retirment community.) ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... Geriatric Party Games!
