Many of my friends have complained of back pains and when I lived in Florida I remember one who had surgery. The outcome? To the best of my memory, he wasn’t too happy.
That was long before laser spine surgery was available. I have heard it’s less evasive than conventional surgery, but I haven’t met anyone who has had it. I wonder if it would help me? I wonder if it would give a spline-less person a new spine? I wonder if you have to wear protective goggles during the operation?

Living in Denver, Colorado as I did, I can’t forget the trips I made from the Mile High City up into the Mountains to visit Aspen.
It also brings to my mind Aspen Furniture.
I love being up in the Colorado Mountains and remember conversations with my father who had a dream to build a home in the mountains so that he, Mom, and his kids could visit when ever we wanted.
I have kept alive the same dream but never really followed through on it. Maybe someday when my ship comes in…

I think it’s amazing how every day it’s easier and easier to do things from the convenience and comfort of one’s own home.
You want to pay someone, use an ach check and it’s done and it’s that simple.
Remember the days when you would have to pull out the check book, write out a check , address an envelope, put a stamp on it and mail it? I do.
While that’s still available it can also be done electronically.
I like that idea and do it as often as possible.

Karen and I meet in a chat room on AOL back in the late 90s. In just a couple days we will be celebrating 13 years together.
Back in those days I don’t think there was free online dating just chat rooms, I think.
I had a computer and did spend time on it, not as much as I do now, cause back in those days I had a small company and it was me who did every thing. Although I did have one employee who was there when I needed help. I ran the company from here at home, and he lived across the street.
Talk about living in the right place.

I would really like to have a samsung netbooks. While I’m OK with just having a cellular phone with me when I leave our house, I feel that it would be so neat to be able to do other things more than just talk when out and about.
Karen and I like to eat out at least 2 or 5 times a week, even more some times and I have just started to figure all the things I would be able to do if I only had one. Reading blogs and blogging on the go would be fun!

I spend a lot of time coming up with plans on how to add to our house here in Scottsdale. While it’s got more than enough space for the two of us, I am always thinking of additions to it. What ever I do would include laminate flooring because we don’t like carpet.
We have a lot of space that is available to expand the present house and with the laws where we are, we can build right up to the property line. There is also room in our back yard to add a couple rooms and still leave a good size “back yard”. Oh, I do like to dream…

I have been sleeping with a heating pad on my side of our bed just to keep my feet warm, but I have been thinking that I should consider a heated blanket.
We have a King Size bed, and years ago I came up with the idea of splitting the top sheet, one for Karen and One for me. That way I don’t pull the “covers” off her and she doesn’t pull mine off either.
My thought is to just get an electric blanket for my side as it’s me that gets bothered when I get cold.
Karen on the other hand seems to keep toasty all night long and I have to pull the sheet and blanket off her during the night when she feels too hot. I should sleep closer to her to keep warm.

Those of you who know Karen and I, know that both of us spent time in the hospital during the month of November. I wonder if there would have been a discount in the billing had we shared a room. Knowing that hospital, we would have been charged double or triple.
That’s not the reason I’m blogging today it’s to let you know that I have been ordered to lose weight. It might be a good idea for me to consider weight loss pills.
So far I have been doing OK on my own, cutting back on the foods and drinks I like and that at least so far is showing a weekly loss in my weight. But, I want to impress Karen and do more.
