Mostly Truthful Jack,

I figger she needed that battery power Worx weed whacker. Now she dont have ta haul 200' of cord round the yard. [She give out tryin' ta keep the gas Weed Eater runnin'.] That dang stroke hit before she had a chance ta see how good I done on that one....adjustable fer the little folk (like her). She kin even "edge" with it. I didnt git the agent orange sprayer fer her, but I fill it up 'n spay half so she kin tote it 'n spray round the last of the azaleas :roll:.

The last 2-3 days her vertigo finally let up a lot. She still walks like she drank a bottle of rum (I mite git her a parrot fer her shoulder), but she sez the ground quit comin' up at her 'n the headaches dont bother her enuff ta take Tylenol. She aint done no drivin' since the last surgery, but I figger she kin if she had ta. If we kin git her thyroid fixed 'n the aspirin keeps her blood frum makin' a clot amongst all them coils, she oughta be near bout good as a new model. She likes the haircut I give her so much, she decided ta give up blonde, keep it red 'n cut it like I done. If we had a big time ICU where they drill holes in yer head, I mite make some extra pocket dough turnin' the gals with the Ronald McDonald look inta the Frodo (one of the girlie men hobbits) look.

ps Fer her birthday I am lookin' ta surprize her with that Coleman Extreme ice chest Ron tole us bout. We have a ole Gott (Christmas gift ta my other wife who left it behind when she cleaned out the house), but a heap a folks sat on it over the last 35 years. I gotta buy a new bag of ice ever day up in the Smokie Mountains.

McMurphy: The Chief voted. Now will you please turn on the television set?
Nurse Ratched: Mr. McMurphy. The meeting was adjourned and the vote was closed.
McMurphy: But the vote was 10 to 8. The Chief, he's got his hand up! Look!
Nurse Ratched: No, Mr. McMurphy. When the meeting was adjourned, the vote was 9 to 9.
McMurphy: Aw come on, you're not gonna say that now. You're not gonna say that now. You're gonna pull that hen-house shit now when the vote... the Chief just voted - it was 10 to 9. Now I want that television set turned on, "right now"!

Well, she jest come in frum waterin' her garden 'n flowers. Sez she near bout knocked herself out twice slappin' skeeters on her forehead. Aint that jest like a woman. Give 'em a good haircut, give 'em a week 'er two off frum chores (cept vaccumin') 'n then they go knock themselves out. Wait til I tell that ta the brain surgeon.

He likely will agree that when it gits hot, she oughta do her outside chores before it crosses 90, but I mite go buy her some Deet. Yeah.....what a swell idea! [Not a real gift.....jest a little somethin' ta let her know I am thinkin' bout her.] Dont want the East Nile Virus on top of havin' a bad day at black rock.

ps I mite give her a flower with the deet. I pass by the railroad museum on the way ta town 'n their roses look mitey purty.

Br'r Bear, maybe if you gave her an attractive straw hat to wear? Then, wet it down so's it's cool on her fevered brow? And, give her some salt water to drink. (Gator Ade is mainly just salt water. Only other additive is potassium for sore muscles, and a banana does a better job there.)

I even used to take Debbie a glass of iced tea from time to time. If I felt especially nice, I'd stay and listen to her talk a bit too. (But, I missed the end of a Dallas rerun one day and had to abandon that practice.)

Women appreciate it if you lube the bearings on their wheel barrow once in a while. And, sharpen their scythes, wax the shovel handles, and remove the nicks from their pruning shear blades.

They like little things like that. Not much to ask - unless there's something good on TV at the time.

I already give her my straw hat. That wuz why I shelled out the dough fer that fancy rice field hat. She left therapy back in February after 3-4 days. She tole 'em she kin git the same thing round here....fer free. [I dont make her pay like they do down at therapy. :wink: ]

She wanted me ta play golf so she found this fella sellin' hiz high dollar set cheap (figgered hiz game wuz off cuz of the clubs :wink: ) 'n got 'em fer Christmas. I played fer a couple of years 'n give 'em away when we figgered we wuz movin' ta west Carolina. She keeps askin' if I wish I had 'em back. I tole her nope....fer everthin' there iz a season. A time ta shoot birdies 'n a time ta shoot some real long range stuff. Tennis season wuz a long time ago too...'n Little League 'n stayin' up late, gettin' drunk 'n playin' cards.

[She jest went out the door ta move the water hose....sez somethin' bout good therapy here at home. I tole her what I jest wrote.....the part bout the free therapy. She chuckled 'n headed out ta the west lots.]

Friends,

Yer care 'n concern haz been a big help ta Miz Bear. She cares deep down when strangers care fer her. Most of ya'll aint strangers ta her after January, but trust me (Mick), I keep a close eye on her. We dont know what mite come at us tomorrow, but if we draw a bad card, we still dont aim ta lose. She aint bout ta change her life jest cuz death tried ta grab her a few times.

She dont laugh at it, but she will stare it rite in the eye.

Seems she has a good partner, Bear. Best wishes, Keith
