Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

@intolight Happy Birthday! Hope that you and your husband have a wonderful lunch and that your chemo goes smoothly and extends your life by many more good years.
@goldensrbest That peripehral nerve stimulator sounds very interesting. Best wishes for a relief from pain.
@micmel Nice to see you. Glad that your daughter is done with chemo and radiation. I'm sure she'll be happy to get that reconstruction done too.

Reader, I'm envious. I would like to find a book club that meets during the day. To be honest, I haven't searched for one. Yet. I'll have to check our library for the book you mention and see if it comes in Kindle e-book.
The golf course condition today is CPO. Cart path only. So I won't be playing. Neither will the other women who signed up. A sloppy course isn't fun to play, plus there's a lot of walking from the cart parked on the path out to the ball on the fairway.
Today is Mardi Gras Day. Our local tv stations are doing on-the-street coverage of parades. Some people think Mardi Gras in New Orleans is for tourists, but it definitely is not. Mardi Gras would go on without a single tourist. Some families dress up in costumes every year. There's a lot of cooking on the parade routes. A lot of partying. Years ago we went to a friend's mother's house in Mid City, near where the big Saturday parade, Endymion, began. We could walk a short block to the parade route. The big crowd of parade watchers at that spot lived in the nearby houses or were guests of someone living there, as we were.
After we moved to this house where we now live, one of the neighbors would invite us to go to New Orleans to watch Endymion from another spot on the parade route closer to the end. The neighbor's company had a building on the route. We had protected parking, food and beverages, a bathroom. It was another ideal situation. We came home with shopping bags full of beads and throws.
Happy Fat Tuesday to everyone. Tomorrow lent begins. This is big Catholic country. Tomorrow a lot of people will have ash on their foreheads.

I went to my first book club meeting in our community. I adored the book - " The Correspondent." It took place in Annapolis, MD and was about a quirky women who writes letters. Highly recommend but women in our group who listened instead of read the book said it took getting used to due to the letter format of the book.

Petite, I am frustrated because the heart is assigned the meaning "care". I love your cottage!

Re: how about drinking?
Mirianda, I think your reasoning about medical care for your cat was very sound. Why make an animal miserable in prolonging life? I guess the vets are just doing their job, giving options.
DH and I find life easier without a pet. We had two cats, brothers, that grew old and both died within a couple of months. Pat and Mike. They were huge cats. If we were to get another pet, it would probably be a dog, for dh to take on walks. When he sees an elderly man out walking a dog, he comments that walking a dog is a good thing to get an older person out of the house. At the present time, dh spends little of his day in the house. He's either in his woodworking shop or running the road for appointments.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
The shower chair and walker arrived. WOOHOOO!!
I made a riff of bolognese with penne. Splurged on fancy frozen pie for him and he's loving it.

@intolight - I so feel for you re having to have that drip on your birthday 🎂! I try not to schedule medical stuff around my birthday or holidays, but sometimes it just can't be helped. I agree that a nice lunch beforehand will help a lot. Also, very interesting and odd about the snow situation. I hope you finally get some.
In your pocket for tomorrow for sure, and a very, very Happy Birthday too🎈!
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Thanks for the photo, Petite. I can see the appeal of your cottage.
I finished the jig saw puzzle today! Yay! I'll admire it for a day and then then take it apart to give to someone. I'll tape the box and write on it that all pieces are inside.
