Hi All and thanks for your comments on my little bit of homespun wisdom, well it's not really my work but I thought it too clever not to share and it's just what I'd quote anyway if I put my mind to it LOL
Like Carrie I've been having a little break from the internet as the weather has been too good not to get the garden chores up to scratch, still got a little bit to do yet, but getting there,
I see Blogger have been fiddling around with the settings again, and my new post interface is different, [sigh]
Can you recall that I've complained about a frozen shoulder? I kid you not, but there were times it nearly reduced me to tears, I got woken up two three times in the night when I wanted to turn over as I had to lift my whole body as the shoulder got stiff and cramped. Physio said it was damaged tendons., and I did see it on the X ray. Now when I first went to the doctor I asked him was it RSI due to typing? he said No. I thought long and hard about it, and was pretty sure it is that, When I sit in the evening with my laptop I'm in an armchair and my arms aren't as free as they are when I use my desktop, they are a bit more 'confined' and I never really felt comfortable, I'd skew to the right, an skew to the left, using a little table meant I had to lean forward, and I also tried a lap tray, However as I've been doing a bit more gardening I've felt a bit too tired to do much on the computer so have given it a rest for a few evenings, I woke up this morning and realised my shoulder wasn't nearly so painful, I'm convinced using the laptop in the armchair is the cause, so I'm not going to have a break and just use my desktop during the day, and fingers crossed it will tell me if I'm right.
Just a quickie before I take the dogs for their evening walk.
I saw in the papers about a sort of Botox for the eyelashes, I perked up, always looking for ways to improve the picture, It apparently thickens them and makes them long enough for you to have to actually trim them. I shan't be trying it, as it would take a bit more than long eyelashes at my age. :-(
It reminded me of when I was a very young teenager, about 14 or so, and one of the lads told us that if you trimmed your eyelashes really short they would grow long and thick, guess what ? we tried it, what a stupid sight we looked, I was in tears and almost resorted to wearing glasses, they've still never grown long nor thick. ANother wheeze they tried on us about the same time.
My friend and I have ordinary blue eyes, they told us if you drank strong tea it would turn our eyes a lovely shade of dark sultry brown, we must have drank stewed tea for months, plonkers, we [or at least I] have still got ordinary blue eyes. Oh the vanity and discontent of youth.
That's all for now folks. I hope to get round visiting in the near future, thansk for listneing.
Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby
If you come on here looking for some mind-blowing conversation or profound words of wisdom, well you've come to the wrong place and will be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary bod who likes to share my day with anyone who cares to listen. Tales of my dogs, my garden, my family and happenings in my life that I feel might just be amusing....If you're happy with that, draw up a chair, light up a ciggie if you wish or have a cup of tea and make yourself at home.
I think those people that told you those things when you were young were messing with your head. Hope your shoulder gets better and have a great week end, It's Thanksgiving here in Canada this weekend. If it is the same in the UK, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
ReplyDeleteI think you're spot on there Horst, I sometimes wonder if I ever recovered :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving
I've always been a sucker for blue eyed blondes. Once, long ago, I fell head over heels for a gorgeous redhead with brilliant green eyes, the green you can see from across a room, but that woman turned out to be a raving psycho and that convinced me to stick with blue and blonde.
ReplyDeleteThe back injuries make it impossible for me to sit at a desk for more that a few minutes but I found a wedge shaped cooling mat for my laptop that raises the keyboard level with the arms of my recliner. I also use a wireless track ball on the right arm rest and that solved the wist pain I used to get using the touch pad on the lap top.
Hi Arlene sounds feesable must be awful for you. I hope you get to feel better having given up the Laptop. Yes we did beleive things when we were younger , made me laugh but oh no eyelashes not so good. Enjoy your walk and have a good weekend. Hugs Sheila and Wile-e xxx
ReplyDeleteWe tried silly things when we were younger too, but have never heard of the eyelash one...I bet I would have been daft enough to try it too lol hope your shoulder continues to improve, have a great weekend xx
