Why I'm Not Crazy About Spiders.....

[The Seeker]

You know...it's very weird whenever I think about it ..........(knock wood) I have never been in a hospital for anything in my entire life!! I still even have my tonsils and appendix. I've had all the typical childhood things like measles, chicken pox, and strep throat, but never anything to be hospitalized for. I plan to go to my grave totally stock like a classic bike...LOL. Well, I have to admit I've had my share of dental work done and have one capped tooth, so I guess I'm not completely stock!

I now have:
Curly Hair
Brazillian bird eater
Brazillian red and white
Golden chaco knee (wooot!)
Mexican red knee (woooot! wooooot!)
Costa Rican tiger rump

I will post some pics where possible in a new thread.
I only buy T's as slings so three of them are still pretty small. However, the chaco and bird eater are growing rapidly.

Strangely enough, I dreamt that my Greenbottle Blue got loose last night!!!

You have been busy, the last I recall you only had the Curly Hair.

That's a great collection of Ts you've got. I'd be very interested in seeing some pics...especially of the Red & White and the Tiger Rump, I hear they are beauties. I think raising them from slings is the best way to go also. My GBB that I got as a 3/4th inch sling is now about 4 inches.

You are welcome, Gromit. Mae Lyne is progressing fine. Her surgeon, today, said she is better that he thought she would be at this point. He dismissed her and told her he never wanted to see her again except socially! :y114: She is cleared to begin driving again. Six more weeks before she can ride.

Glad to hear that, but i didn't know she smoked. I hope she isn't having a hard time with that. I quit almost 4 years ago, and i was one of those people that was a lifer and couldn't even imagine not smoking. If she has problems dealing with it tell her it takes a while, but eventually she will hit a point where it's truly easy to not smoke ever again and all desire goes away. you lose those cravings you never thought would go away and smoking even begins to sound nasty. There are rare moments you remember how much you enjoyed it, but they are nothing to worry about and go away quickly. It may take as long as 2 years to get to that point, but within the first few months it becomes bearable. It's just that complete recovery to where you have zero desire and almost never even think about might take a couple years. Anyways, it will be nice to see her back on the bonnie !

I've been out of the loop for 12 days and am just catching up.
Carl, I'm delighted to hear the ML is doing so well. Smoking is sooooo bad for you, but I won't get on a soap box about it. All I'll say is do everything you can to quit.
As for hospitals, I was born in a hospital in 1937, had my tonsils out at age six in 1943 and was never inside one (except to visit) until 2008 with a banged up shoulder.
My surgeon said more or less the same thing to me on the last visit in 2009 - "I don't want to see you in here again. Go and enjoy your life."
I thanked him for saving my arm and giving me back the mobility and active life I still enjoy. He just grinned and said, "Just don't do it again."
As for being old fogies - watch it buster, I resemble that remark!!!!!!!!

Nah, don't think it's Triumph. I think we're all just a bunch of old fogies. But happy old fogies!

Gromit, I think you nailed it. The ailments come with age!

AJ, I have been blessed, too. I have only been in the hospital twice in my life as a patient - once a s a kid to have a tonsillectomy and once in the Army for severe sinusitis. I have had two broken ankles - one from an Army incident and the other from a get off.
