They are so tiny. How can you see what color their eyes are? Maybe they were out drinking the night before? LOL
That's a trick I never heard of.

Yeah, Cricket when he got his flash light out and stated leaning into them looking and I can't remember for sure but he might have even pulled out a glass to magnify ......
We like what .....lol how can you see eyes.
He says the light would reflect the little red eyes....but he did not see red
Hi Everyone,
Haven't posted much. Went to the hardware store a couple of weeks ago, and they had every bolt in the universe, except they were out of the 3/4" hex bolt I needed. I think that's what set it all in motion.
That night had a bad drug reaction. Don't drink much (2-3) beers, but was unknowingly coming down with flu too. Brain went crazy for about two hours. Couldn't think clearly or abstractly, everything seemed out of place. Weird, unlike unpleasant trip from days of old.
Most of you know I live and travel in my RV. Before I realized how messed up I was I started to walk to Safeway directly next door. I was carrying a small plastic bag of trash in my left hand. My balance felt off so I tested myself (that side portion of the parking area was mostly empty). I stood on one foot like on TV and kind of used the trash bag as a balance. Problem was when I took the raised leg down I stumbled and began a slow lope to regain my balance, like you do when you trip and hustle to catch up with yourself.
For some reason, I kept hold of the bag of trash and it acted as a sort of anchor as I stumbled faster and faster in a shrinking circle. I should've let go of the trash bag as it was acting as a pivot, but I had to run faster and faster to keep from falling, and the circle kept getting smaller and I was running faster and at a more and more oblique angle to keep from falling. I remember running under the same parking lot light about three times, still more scrambling for purchase than actual running, though I was running, running down like a top, and I of course eventually went down, on top the trash bag. By then I was only at about a 30-degree angle to the ground, so amazingly no damage but a skinned knee and some squashed garbage. Not so funny at the time, but I wish I had an overhead short video for Utube.
So, back home. At the end of kicking pks as mouth, though jaw still protruding here and there, has not hurt bad lately, catching flu, bad RX--not too many, and the result is that I think I'm getting well, behind on leaving again. I'm on a new health regimen. Not as rigorous as the run-in-a-contracting-circle-until-you-fall-down, something more balanced.
Anyway, that's why I haven't posted much. Getting my flu shot--I know it's controversial, but they have always worked for me--soon as the pharmacist says it's far enough removed from my currently fading case.
Hope everyone is well. C has been very supportive to me, and I appreciate it.
later soon,
Spankster
Glad you're relatively OK Spankster. Be careful. Would hate to hear that you had a nasty fall or something.
Hi Spanky......
I've heard of whirling dervishes but never of whirling spanksters.......glad your ok...wish you had a video.
something more balanced in re: exercise regime is a splendid idea, mr. spanky.
thank u for checking in with us. u don't want me to worry.
feel better my friend. (i wonder if the security cams in the safeway got u on their cameras. You can be on youtube after all, if u would like.)
Hang in there. I am sorry about the pain and the bad reaction.
Good to hear from you Spanky.
Quite the story.
And I am glad you are getting better
No joke recently I looked to see if you posted sand was wondering about you.
Glad you are ok,
Spanky
I have weird falls like that, too. My grandson describes them; he says my facial expressions are hilarious but is kind enough not to laugh at the time (we both laugh later after it's over - what else to do but laugh and go on? carefully, of course LOL)
The public factor for me is the worst, I think. So embarrassing when it happens in front of strangers .
After one bad experience where I fell in doctor's parking lot and my skirt was up almost around my head - well, I don't wear dresses much when I go out in public anymore...
Bravo to you for stopping pks!
I've cut way back from what doctors had me on but the pain is so horrible at times, I just can't tolerate it and retain my sanity.
Positive energy to you for healing to hasten... and no more accidents
Thanks Char, Lin, Fire, Wolf and all who commented.
Just for the record, I was the only person in the lot. It's a side lot, and a few cars, but no people. The physics was so weird I wasn't thinking about how I appeared anyway, except it did occur to me that either I or the law of gravity would soon will out, I remember thinking that.
Yeah, Fire and Wolf, stopped PKs for now. Still have little peaks and ridges of jaw trying to work up through gum, but no big pain. Feeling normal is always a relief and different. Jung called addicts--no slur intended on anyone, as an cancer treatment guy I've been through all the levels several times--anyway, Jung called them "shadow people". He was referring for the most part to straight heroin addicts cause I think it was still mainly legal then. I always liked that. Being habituated seems to put a little film over things, for me. But, to be personally clear, I do despise the politicizing mechanic that's governed our drug policies since the turn of the century, and am dismayed by the current paranoid and unstructured attack on the prescribing of opiates. Ironically, the misnomer "war on drugs" which has dominated whatever policy is fashionable is more applicable here, as our long range plans on pain control do parallel our current "run-in-circles-scream-and-shout" policies on the current wars, near wars, and "wars' on terrorism.
But, I digress. Thanks for your thoughts. Good days.

I am still horrified by ur jaw, but u know that. And, u know i was only kidding about putting urself on youtube.
Because, it is so not funny to me.
Mr. Spanky, God bless you, but my Lord it is not like you are using medicine for rec use. You have pieces of jaw protruding still.
I hear all the time on TV that the multi billion dollar drug industry will supply u with necessary PKs or various and assorted meds you may need.
Your usage is born from cancer. Is there not an agency willing to provide you needed meds for free?'
Let me pay attention to a commercial. There is some card advertised wherein drug companies will provide those in need with meds. I just assume its a scam, or its cuz they know they have all the monies now. And some meds now cost $700 a pill.
You rest. Let me hear that number and call them and ask for u. I will also mention that u move in an RV, which can be an issue at least it was for people whom camped in a legal state to use MMJ to save their children's lives (one boy had chrons and would not take that god awful humira. one baby girl had unlimited seizures without the MMJ oil. But, because they were camped outside a clinic, no state welfare would kick in to allow the family to remain in the legal area for MMJ.)
I have only heard of them via TV. let me listen for u. Rest. Hang in there.
Spanky, I know my sister is proud she took but one hydro after her battle with stage iv colorectal cancer. But, she suffers so still.
Precious, u r still dealing with horrific changes to ur body from that cancer. I see no harm in a PK.
For us, it is more the issue of money. Finding doctors.
Talk to you soon my friend.
Will send u a brief PM if and when I get any info that can help.
