Crazyheart, I've had years like that, I can relate.
But the platitudes are true, it does get better, there are good days aheead, sunshine and rain and sunshine again. One day at a time.

Today the sun is shining, so much so that I got up at 5:45 without realizing the time (I usually wait until 6:00). Today is predicted to be sunny with a high of 20, and low humidity - my kind of weather. Tomorrow we'll also have sunshine (two days in a row!!!) but it will get hot (28 degrees).
 
Oh, yes - despite being out most of the day yesterday, I got almost an hour on the puzzle when we got home around 4:00. I ran into a patch of white snow and found 13 pieces in that time - almost a record for this puzzle. Then I hit a dry spot.
Seelerman wanted to go square dancing last evening. When we got home I wound-down by sitting at the puzzle. I was about to give up - but couldn't on #13, and then I found two more pieces fitting in at the other side of the puzzle. So a total of 15 yesterday. And a bit more time to spend on it today.
 
Anon; presently it will change ... and 1000 in Hebrew is fullness in time ... resolving an vast enigma if you can get it together ...

Coming from a family of pilots we heard, very often, that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. We also, in 1988, experienced the very worst of landings, one in which my aunt could not walk away from and my uncle never lived through. So, we do know what a bad landing looks and feels like.

Year, all things considered, are like landings. If you live to talk about it it is a good one.

The conversation may not be happy or pleasant but it beats, by far, not being able to talk about it at all. I'm sorry that the front 6 of 2017 has been such a rough-ride so far I pray that there will be some smooth road ahead shortly. Get that settled and then you will have time to build on the happy and the good.

Followed by a speaker who told us all about the only woolen mill in NB, just down the road from the church. The mill is 150 years old, and has been in his family for about 100 years, five generations including his grandson who will start work there as soon as he graduates from highschool this year. Lots of stuff I didn't know about wool yarn, from the time it comes off the sheep until it is in a skane ready to be sold. Do you remember holding a skane of yarn over your arms, flipping one strand at a time over your hands while your mother rolled it into a ball?

That sounds like a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Was the woolen mill Brigg's and Little? I sure remember holding the skein while my mother wound it into balls. Thank goodness for umbrella swifts and ball winders today. The last time I helped someone by holding the yarn (contained silk which apparently tangles easily anyway), I helped to create a terrible mess for my friend. :oops:
 
Imagine the English entanglement on the Silk Road to the mother of philosophy ... a very old girl! I am not allowed to use descriptive ancient words for things some would sooner not exist ... thus mirei essences dancing in the wood as nymphs?

Some call them May Bettles, other June Bugs ... nonetheless evolution of that bug of the imagination ... right out of Egypt ... dung beetle as description of thought? There is a proper biologic name that is suggestive of something else ...

Phyllophaga ... phonetically philo's fagas clues ... in passion thoughts are displaced ... dissociated or anti-social? Words to bug the best of understanding ...
 
Might be related to the vagas nerve ... that connects ten's sections of the Bodleian gathering ... that which is and that which not ...

Tis wyrd scholarship to some to chase the understanding of wee black items ... Plato's Black Forms! Just off the wall from another admitting to what I don't know as adverse to those that claim they do ... dialectics ...

It too spreads like fire in gossamer threads ... creating gloss ...

crazyheart, I'm so very sorry to hear about this. I'll say a prayer for you and your family, and hope that all will recover fully. Blessings.
 
Oh Crazyheart, sounds like some bad injuries. I hope the surgeries all went well.
Carolla - good point about meds! I was in a minor car accident a long time ago but was in pain and really tight for quite a while. I was fine the day of, it was later when everything tensed up that was the issue. I'll try to keep in mind the muscle relaxant idea in case it ever comes up for me/family but hopefully not!

Seeler, I would pop over and help get some pieces in if you were close!

Right on! Apparently they are known across the continent. The speaker was a Mr. Little - I didn't catch the first name.
I learned things I never knew before - one was the difficulty in developing dyes for special colours. Apparently the original mill made off-white yarn. Then, when they discovered (developed) a black dye, they were able to make shades of grey -- I well remember coarse but warm grey wool blankets, and my father and brother wore grey wool socks. Next came red, green, and blue. Then a lighter weight wool that cried out for a lighter, rosy colour. And violet.
A bit about sheep farming in NB.
And marketing - now often done on line / better than trade shows.
Interesting.
Good wool produces superior garments. A person puts a lot of work into a sweater - they might as well use the best products available.
 
12 puzzle pieces so far today. Leaving in a few minutes for Seelerman's appointment with the Diabetic clinic (I go too, I'm pre-diabetic). But I have this evening free.
