The new owner probably chopped it down as he has done with most of the other lovely trees. You be careful and not to fall. Without health insurance you're in great danger to being "taken care of" by the state and you know you don't want that. <br />Enjoy this beautiful spring Jon.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-15154569310215052962017-04-13T03:26:09.770-05:002017-04-13T03:26:09.770-05:00One of the things I like about blogging is the ins...One of the things I like about blogging is the instant feedback (hey, as long as it's not death threats....).

But Tennessee and penguins? I fear local mockingbirds are having you on. As to doctors, when I had back problems 35 years ago, an excellent (and relatively inexpensive) G.P. told me to stop sleeping on my back. So I slept on my side or tummy for a few weeks and it took the stress off the spine (and pain-susceptible muscles that attend the spine). Might help.

He would go to the emergency room for everything. When he got the bills, he would pay $10.00 a month to the hospital without interest. Maybe you should snoop around. I mean after all, how do all these poor homeless street people do it?<br />On another note, Phil eats lizards and growls at me when I try to take them away from him. He always brings them inside to the living room and chomps away after torturing them with a chase until lifeless. (the little dahling).<br />I'm glad your still kicking albeit in agony.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.com
