That was quite eerie, ginnie. I finally got around to checking to see what had happened to you, and was reading your post on NYC - which brought back memories. I was about to leave a comment when life got in the way i.e. I had to drive uptown, or I would have done if the car's brakes hadn't failed. Talk about life's ups and downs

I was never that either. Funnily enough when I was writing 'I've still got it,' I was laughing to myself as I don't know what 'IT' is and whatever it was, or is, I've never had it.

I have two cups in the morning to help me take the meds that stop me feeling daft every day.

Oh, and lol to your comment below on being wowed by your superlatives
I agree. I admit to being as much an attention ho as anyone, but my chosen venue is in language and writing, not being a gym bunny or whatever. I was never that, and I'm past the expiration date for being a bunny of any kind.

JohnMcnab, I have 2 cups in the morning to counteract the meds that make
me stupid and groggy. I may go too far to the opposite extreme, but I really hate feeling stupid. As for snarling, well....I still snarl.

Whacky
LOL, Whacky. The only problem is that the gallery is 30 feet up behind glass and there is no access to the pool. But at least they can salute as I sink slowly to the bottom.

Wow! You have a fan club!
Now that is neat!
At least you know they won't let you drown.

I have to have at least two cups of coffee every morning to stop me snarling at the world, Blanche. And there is always a cup beside the PC - except when it is something stronger, that is. In my case the pills are Dilantin. I suggested yesterday that I stop taking them, but Ell wasn't for it -vociferously so.

You got me on the coffee, JohnMcnab, I might as well buy stock in a coffee
bean company, and collect some dividends on all the coffee I drink. I need it to get going, not just on cloudy days, just in general. So, yes, everybody's got their vices. I am one to talk, I just had my cholesterol checked, it's 277, and I am going to be started on some statin drug next month, wah, I hate having to take another medication.

Pat
I know I am Pat, but I'm scared to say so in case someone up there is listening. As for the sat fat, Ell keeps telling me to put on weight so that she will look better - about 20 pounds should do it, or perhaps even 3.............argh.

So you ate the egg sandwich and you didn't drown
and you found out people like you. You're not just treading water... you're actually swimming in every way that counts.. :)
p.s. By ignoring the bacon you've saved yourself about a zillion grams of sat fat.

There is nothing quite like crisp bacon with two easy-over fried eggs, is there, TAPS? I love cafes that serve 'all day breakfasts.'

HAHAHA, Love the post, Johnmacnab. What is an egg without bacon? It is only because of the bacon that I can eat an egg. Who wants to live long without the good stuff? LOL

You are projecting correctly, Blanche. I would prefer to have a fan drowning in my superb superlatives than have them taking bets on when I would go down for the third time.
I'm not that fussy about ham, but I do love a fried egg sandwich and scrambled egg sandwiches. I know they aren't doing me any good, but then neither is the coffee I drink by the gallon.

JohnMcnab, Bacon? Oh, don't get me started on waht that does to your
heart. They were probably trying to spare you the impending coronary, at least themselves the liability of it happening in Ye Olde Diner. Although, I know MG almost as well as Ell knows you, so I might be "egging" him on to fix the problem rather than live with the increasing grouchiness over the lack of bacon. I feed him ham, and God forbid, sandwich meat because he insists, even though I feel like a drug dealer.
I can see where you'd be nonplussed if a strange (as in "unknown to you" ) woman approached you over breakfast and told you you had a fan club while swimming. I imagine that may not be the fan club you were hoping for, you might have been hoping for someone who was a fan of your writing, rather than watching you nearly drown. Or I may be projecting here.
