Tigglee makes me laugh; have an electric razor he is scared of it or something. He reaches out and claws at it, sometimes he takes right out of my hand and flings it a little ways away from me, lol. For over the past year I've been trying to get him out of this madness, lol, it has not worked, but it sure is funny, so this is the good of the day....laughing when he was clawing at it.

I got a kick out of this tongue in cheek list of rules for singing the blues.

"Rules Of The Blues"
1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."
2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."
4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.
5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.
8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chompin' on it is.
9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
10. Good places for the Blues:
a. Highway
b. Jailhouse
c. An empty bed
d. Bottom of a whiskey glass
11. Bad places for the Blues:
a. Nordstrom's
b. Gallery openings
c. Ivy league institutions
d. Golf courses
12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it.
13. You have the right to sing the Blues if:
a. You older than dirt
b. You blind
c. You shot a man in Memphis
d. You can't be satisfied
14. You don't have the right to sing the Blues if:
a. You have all your teeth
b. You were once blind but now can see
c. The man in Memphis lived
d. You have a pension fund
15. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues.
16. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues
17. Other acceptable Blues beverages are:
a. Cheap wine
b. Whiskey or bourbon
c. Muddy water
d. Nasty black coffee
18. The following are NOT Blues beverages:
a. Perrier
b. Chardonnay
c. Snapple
d. Slim Fast
19. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broke-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
20. Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie
b. Big Mama
c. Bessie
d. Fat River Dumpling
21. Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe
b. Willie
c. Little Willie
d. Big Willie
22. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
23. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")
24. I don't care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues.

Here's a "finish the song" contest:

Walked out this mornin', took a nail in my foot. That mean old woman heard me yellin', (mad guitar riff to denote severe pain).

She yanked the nail out with her teeth, used my good whiskey to wash off the blood, gave me the rest of the bottle said drink it (low slow guitar sequence). She wrapped my foot in a dirty rag, then called up my boss, said he's too drunk to come to work (another mad guitar riff).

Now I got the nailed foot blues, stuck here at home, eatin' her greasy food, and worse, I'm all out of whiskey. It hurts too bad to work, but it's worse stayin' home all day with that mean woman, oooooooooooooohhhh (another mad guitar riff). I I I I ---- got the wounded man blues.

It has to be your judgment or your doctor's, but I'm thinking at this point it's best to just rest as much as possible in between the duties you're called on to do. Moving more is for later when that tailbone has started to mend.

But my disclaimer has to be I'm just an intuitive hereditary granny healer, not a physician. When I fell hard on a rake with the momentum of wrestling a big stubborn root out of the ground, as I described previously, it took a long time for the pain to stop, especially pain with walking. I may have broken my tail bone or fractured my spine, or both. I'll never know. The pain went down one leg when I walked. I'm pretty sure I stayed in bed for a few days before resuming my gardening projects. I think the healing really started when I got a job in a mall, and the Mexican food restaurant there was pretty far from my post. I chose it for lunches, for both the long stroll and the food. But again, I rested a lot at first, before I could even think about getting back in the garden or starting a job. Luckily my desk had a ledge underneath where I could prop up my feet at work without looking like a slob.

I don't know anything. Just hoping to be helpful, based on my own experience with a busted butt, and I'm sure I won't cause any harm by advising you take it easy, stay restful, focus on your breathing exercises, envision a beautiful future when you and Jean are both fully healed, strong, fully enjoying life once again.

Wishing you comfort and rapid healing.

Thank you my dear friend :hug: , I'd like nothing better than to take a big rest time out but I haveta get it in half way usable shape before Jean has her surgery the 12th. I have been doin double treatments and exercises for it just to push it that way. But I haveta be well enough to take care of Jean no matter how bad it hurts. Really a bad time to be hurt like this but her sis that was helpin us before has gone back to Mississippi so it pretty much up to me to be able to hurt or not.:facepalm:

I spent yesterday late afternoon/evening at the county fair for the MG info booth. Met some interesting folks and some of them are interested in joining us.

Today the kids are coming over for a swim. Cooling off today to only 101F, yesterday was 106F.

You know Goph, I think they're lying about the temps. I look online at the weather, and it makes me sweat, but then I go outside and it clearly isn't as hot as they're saying. The "climate change" agenda has to be promoted, dontcha know.

Don't get me wrong, summer is hot, always hot, except in nice regions up north where it's milder. Even 92 can make you uncomfortable, but I still think the temp numbers are being exaggerated.
