Usually, I don't have to go to that extreme, Carl is pretty good about trying to give me what I want, but he is being a butthead about this.

Welcome back.
Point your toes at the fireplace, take a nice sip of hot chocolate, and relax. :)

I think that whining might get you turned over his knee. Actually, I'm trying to convince my husband that we need a heater to help heat this house. I'm going to get it, I'm sure. I usually do. hahaha

Yeah, I can see that, he's pretty rugged. I think Ned fits the "rugged"
category, plus he has a twinkle in his eye, he's always laughing, even though he's a "disaster relief planner". that job would just scare me.

Bel, I'm going to blog about it, after I go to the reading. I think you'll
really be able to help me sort out some useful information. I'm excited, not just to meet a famous writer, but maybe this is God's way of helping me to make contacts, and figure out what kind of graduate degree program I can enter to do "writing therapy'. DVR will pay.
Anyway, I will have Ned talk to M, about the knee surgery, there are good surgeons here in the VA in Seattle, he knows of them. BTW, for a 60 year old, Ned, who I know from the C & P, who runs his own business as a disaster prepared planner, is HOT. I can't believe that I would say that about a 60 year old, but there is just something about him, that is not only he a very cool, laid-back guy, but he is pretty easy on the eyes. Strange, huh?

Whew! Gland you are back!
Don't know if stomping and whining will get you a wood stove.

It might help warm you up though.

Oh, so you ARE alive then--I was about ready to send a search party.
In fact I was looking for your email address just yesterday, because when I emailed you about a month ago from your Blogit page I didn't get a reply, and I know you have changed addresses, so I wondered if you updated it here. Anyway, great to see you.

I am so jealous!!! I do hope that you can talk that man of yours into getting his knee fixed. Our best friend has knee replacement and his only regret is that he waited so long to do it.

Bel, I am going to hear a reading tomorrow by Maxine Hong Kingston, a
pretty famous novelist (she wrote Woman Warrior, other stuff I don't remember). I met a guy who is hosting her in his house, she has published a book, with his cousin, a medic in Vietnam who has worked through or worked on his PTSD through writing this book, among others. The book is called "Veterans In Wartime, Veterans In Peacetime". I'm going to meet them, hoping to get ideas on how to do my own graduate work and projects in writing therapy. I am so excited. I'll let you know.
Also, I met a guy at the coffee shop, who is a 60 yo Army vet who says the surgeons here at this VA in Seattle are not quacks. Michael needs a knee replacement, but is afraid of getting botched by a hack. I need to reassure himm or hopefully Ned can reassure hiim that he can get good medical care at the VA.

I keep telling him that and he keeps rolling his eyes at me. I think I may suggest it to his dad, because his dad is a worse nag than I am LOL!

You need one soooooo bad...
Carl, what IS wrong with you???? You've got to install a wood burning stove for poor cold Bel.
Richard installed one for me a few years ago in a house we owned. We loved it!!!!!!!! It was always so warm and toasty.

M and I don't have wood heat, but a down comforter.
He generates enough heat for both of us, lol, I usually call him my "Bunsen burner of love", good metabolism. I have a friend who used to joke that the procreation of the species depended on women having cold feet. Makes sense to me,lol.

Winter is definitely a time for woodstoves, chai, warm blankets and simple
pleasures like hot tea, stew, and snuggling.
