Susan in TN Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If you are so inclined, will you pray for dh's 15yo nephew who was in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday and is in bad shape - both arms and hands broken, broken leg, leaking lung, broken nose, femur, & growth plates(?), etc. They expect him to be "OK", but he's in excruciating pain. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Good Morning! Headache. I want coffee, but, alas, I don't drink it. *whispers* Our coffee pot is still in the box. (I bought it a few years ago for $5 on Black Friday to keep in case we have guests who want coffee. It turns out, though, that my parents would rather drive 20 min. round trip to buy coffee.) 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The language is beautiful. I’ve been meaning to read “O Pioneers”. I’ll have to see if the library has it. I’m reading and enjoying “Eight Cousins” by LMA. It’s a sweet book. Reminds me a lot of “The Secret Garden” for some reason. Although one thing I am noticing about LMA’s writing is she has a sincere belief that people want to be good. In a kind of unrealistic way. I have by no means read all her work, but there is a surprising lack of villains in what I have read and everyone seems to be desirous of self-improvement. Even in Jo March there is not genuine rebellion. (Although I did read and enjoy “A Long Fatal Love Chase” years ago and there was a villain. Sort of.) LMA’s Transendentalist beliefs are strong in her writing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMA’s Transendentalist beliefs are strong in her writing. I enjoyed "Eight Cousins," and its sequel "Rose in Bloom," when I was in high school. I have copies of both. However, I read it again recently and couldn't finish it, because it was just too preachy. Long, long dissertations on whatever the theme of the chapter was, bare details on actions (a vacation at a farm? something like that, which could have been beautifully described, but wasn't, more of "a good time was had by all"). I loved Little Women (of course), but Little Men and Jo's Boys were the same...preachy. In one of them, one of the boys is suspected of thievery. There's no real evidence, and instead of actually investigating the "crime," everyone shuns the poor boy. I detested that. Find out the truth, administer punishment if necessary, forgive, move on. There was no forgiveness. FTR, I love being at my desktop computer with its ergonomic computer instead of trying to wax poetic on my little cell phone or tablet. :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 My arthritis is really acting up today -- and there's no rain in the forecast. ? Maybe the forecast is wrong. I had to pull a chair into the kitchen so that I could sit down while I was stirring taco meat. The date on the meat was two days ago, so it really had to be cooked tonight.

Sometimes it will move into the kidneys which is even more serious. Sometimes it will get into the bloodstream. That is called sepsis and can lead to death. Hopefully they will try different classes (families) of antibiotics. At one point my docs had to go through 8 different classes of antibiotics before one worked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
