Thanks, Bungi Bill, for your story.
I'm sorry about your wife's situation. My former thinking on these matters was, actually, none whatsoever -- until it happened to me.
Taking a couple aspirin was not the solution I figured it would be.

"Hard work never killed anyone," or "I have to give up knitting."

it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.

Greetings, my aging friends:
It's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
Sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body. I developed what I'm guessing is tennis elbow. Last weekend -- seemingly out of the blue -- my elbow became extremely painful and swollen. The only "hard work" I was doing at what I recall was the gradual onset of pain was peeling potatoes. The day before I labored, with difficulty, through a house cleaning job; however, there was no pain then.
Like many of us here who have a work ethic and have depended on service-related jobs our entire lives, the effects of repetitive movements over decades of time have wrought havoc on our joints. I read that raking, keyboard activity, even knitting, can create an inflammation of the bursa sac. The closest I ever got to knitting was watching Nana knit one, purl two. Well, of course, I do knit my brows.
Any comments you have on this subject would be appreciated. I don't understand everything medical I read. Additionally, I wonder how to avoid future flare ups. After three days, the pain has totally dissipated. During those three days, I had only minimal use of my entire right arm.
THANKS!

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

"The shortening of the vowel sound in some verbs . . ." -- LUHE
By "shortening," do you mean Crisco? Of course, that might be spoken with a southern-fried accent!
Good thread.

An American JW friend -- full-blooded Italian, fluent in the language -- went to Italy and said there were language difficulties from one area to another. It wasn't the "Italian" he grew up speaking.

Do you air on the side of caution?

It's eye-opening to read about ancient faiths -- those preceding the Big Three patriarchal religions -- and that there was no concept of original sin, hence the consequent need of salvation through ransoming.
And, it follows, the need for laws and priests and prophets and . . . MESSIAH!
I had no idea (until I began reading proscribed literature).

"Last year I planned to put in some daffodils, but my health took a dip. After seeing everyone else's coming up, I will do it this fall." -- Blondie
Yes, likewise! The display of daffodils, King Alfred my fave, is riotous here. We have a yearly Daffodil Run, just recently, in fact. I HAVE to plant my own this fall.
I was house sitting this last week and left with a bowl of sprouting russets on the kitchen island. This family buys all natural, no GMOs allowed in the kitchen. The eyes were removed in readiness for subsequent planting. The spuds mashed up nicely . . .
Hope your health is on the upswing.

At 1300 feet, in the Sierra Foothills (California), we rarely get snow, but this wet winter has seen close to 100 inches of rain, which creates its own set of problems. The higher elevations, where all the famous ski resorts are located, have almost 200 percent of normal snowfall. Driving up there is winding your vehicle through high-walled tunnels.
Good luck and happy planting, fellow gardeners!
