Sorry to hear that rick  Hope that anything they find is an easy fix..

I have a mild heart murmur (caused by a fever as a baby) so one day might have to have a heart valve OP 

[Doggie 1]

Good luck with it Rick.
And remember, just because there's a pretty nurse there attending to you, doesn't mean you're allowed to have a stroke. 
Or a Pat.

Good luck with it mate.  I have had one of those, not too bad.

Yes, behave thy self with the nursies.

[Dazzler]

I'm so fat these days, if I had one they would call it an Angiokilo 

[Just Rick]

???? now that procedure was a very odd experience
+ news was not as bad as expected
- got to go back in about ten days for an angioplasty and stents, once the new meds have taken effect
+ hopefully fixes the chest pains and lethargy
- another few days of sitting around doing nothing
and many thanks for the well wishes, sucks getting older

I had a condition which apparently had a one in four chance of me having a severe stroke within a year. So I went for the op they offered which they said was better.

Looked it up on the interwebby and found that there was a ten percent chance of death or severe stroke during the op!  Went for it anyway. Worrying - I made an unofficial will for my dad to use if I died - no time for a real one. Fortunately for me I didn't die.

Five years later and I'm still doing okay - I think.

Hope the rest of the procedures go OK rick

Thanks PPL, even the pamphlets they give you from the hospital are enough to scare the Crapola out of you, but I suppose they have to give you all the info and the worse case senerio, funniest thing was being told during and after the procedure and the surgeon had studied the films, was up to six months ago I apparently had a mild heart attack, his explanation of mild servere and ftal heart attack at the time was hilarious,well I thought so, I always thought a heart attack was just a heart attack.

I hope all is good from now on Rick.

- my vacation is over and it is my second day-on today
+ it is still warm in Saint-Petersburg
- although it is the end of November, there is still no snow in the streets

I would have thought that having no snow is a plus and not a minus

It sure does count on the plusside for me - no snow here yet.

+ Shambles™  listened.
+ I got what I asked for. 
- I think Alan's annoyed with me

You were asking for "hospital food" in another thread - be careful you don't always get what you ask for...........

[meehalych]

If you were here now you wouldn't doubt I'm right: it is muddy in the streets

[Surferdude]

- The surf has been non-existent for weeks now. 
+ I can fix all the little dings in my boards.
- I can't be bothered
+ I've just about caught up on all those "little" jobs that needed doing around the house/ yard/ garage.
- I still have to paint the roof guttering.

[Dazzler]

+Looks like being a lovely day today
- still got plenty of outside jobs to do
+ some are small and easy
- Probably better whipper snip the parts of the bank behind the house that didn't die with the spray (Gets hot in all that protective gear and bits of cut grass and stuff get everywhere)  (May post a picture or two later)

[Phil №❶]

+ Nice day here today too.
+ New lounge suite arrived yesterday (3 months wait)
+ I like playing with the electric recliners.

- Holden Commodore not working, stuck in 1st gear, auto won't shift. 
- Bathroom renovation starts tomorrow, I'm doing it all.
- Have to destroy before you can create, remove every wall and floor tile. Big mess.

Are you having trouble with small Italians where you live?

The auto 'box on one of my cars (a Fairlane) has decided to do the same thing.
It drove perfectly up until I parked it up three or four months ago and then when I went to use it again, no gears.
It tries to drive but slips and I am hoping it has just dropped its fluid but I suspect not.

[Dazzler]

Ford and Holdens eh... don't you just love em...   (mind you, the longest I've ever kept a car is 4 years) so have barely had to replace a battery or exhaust pipe even... Although I wouldn't mind the estimated A$200,000 I have spend updating in 38 years 

[Dazzler]

- How the bank looked before I cleaned it up..(and the effort required) 



+ How it looks afterwards ...(much lower fire risk too)

Looks good. 
But is that part of your block or is it shire land?

[AlanHo]

I like the way you took the trouble to take the before and after pictures from the same position. Did you leave the camera on a tripod or was it a fluke?

I tried to take it from the same spot but had to do some creative cropping...

Not part of my block but has become my responsibility since we bought the block 4 years ago  If I don't clear it nobody else will 

The Neighbour we bought the block off who lives at the end of the road that goes past the back of our block does usually mow the wide nature strip above it though  (I do the one on the main road though)

You might get a reduction in rates.

[Dazzler]

You might get a reduction in rates.

Don't tell anyone but the last three years we've only paid land rates 

We have managed to negotiate a health care card this year which entitled us to a discount on our rates but when I took the bill in and tried to negotiate the discount she said " oh, so you actually live there now then" you better wait for a re-valuation and then negotiate a discount on that .. (that was 5 months ago)

So I just paid the $500 or so land rates and will see what happens next year  Suppose it will go to $1500 or something 

All we get is garbage collection, no water or sewage (got our own)
