The Social

G'morning Ostomates, I pray all are safe and well as can be. Were living in some difficult times and life as we once knew, looks like it will never be the same. So many deaths and as I write I'm sure some are dying this very moment. In spite of all this there many selfless people Thank God for them! Lets keep them in our thoughts and prayers. though they have no necessary equipment nor proper testing there still out there everyday.         &n bsp;       &nb. ..

Hi Guys,   Lovely's now got me going thru old pics and I ran across these of my barn.  I painted it back in 1995, when I moved in (the barn was already there).  I found a real Dad's advertising sign from the '30's (on Ebay)....then took a pic of it.....and printed it out on a clear overhead projector transparency sheet.  Then with the help of a friend (and a long extension cord) we set the projector up in the pasture at night, shone the image on the side of the barn....and traced it out.  Then we spent the next 2 ...

Well.............this is the Just for Laughs section of the forum.  And every time I see this pic I start laughing......so here you go! Enjoy, bob      

Howdy Gang,  Well, I keep my word, so as I promised in my earlier rant post...........it's time to unveil my latest CNH (that's Cool New Hat for you slo folks out there).  Now here's the dope on this head topper.......I had no intention of buying another CNH........especially so soon after getting my previous authentic fake rattlesnake CNH a few weeks ago.....but as soon as I walked into my local CVS pharmacy......BAM! There she sat on top of a pile of similar relatives just making eyes directly at me.  I was almost st...

So we're seeing firsthand all the effects of a pandemic on our modern society.  I find it rather amusing that "normal" people are so inconvenienced by simple requests to not socialize, isolate oneself, wash your hands often.......pretty minor stuff in the grand scheme of life.  Compared to us ostomates these people are just plain wimps.  If they could walk in our shoes for a few days, week, month...whatever.....imagine how much calmer the world would be today.  We all take for granted things that don't directly affect u...

Hello Ostomates, Were are experiencing some difficult times. I pray that all of you and your families are safe. On saturday my nephew was experiencing problems breathing.

He was 40 years old, this virus is not prejudice against any age or anyone. To all of you, in everyone country no matter who you are were in this together. Please l...

...some of my faves from the playlists doing the rounds at the momement...feel free to add any you can think of! It's hammer time! :-)          

Ok.......where is everybody?  With everyone stuck inside and bored out of their minds I thought this place would be a rockin'.........but it's just crickets chirping. Oh well........guess I'll go back to painting the bathroom.  See ya.   regards, bob

Well......it was time to venture out and see if the rest of the world was still there. So I checked Maryland's coronavirus website to see how many folks in my county have tested positive so far. The answer was one. One reported case out of a population of 113,000 folks in the county, and the site is updated every morning.  So I checked our two neighboring counties and they had one and five cases reported respectively.  So.........I figure it's only going to get worse, so I might as well get going while the gettin's good.  &...

Drum roll please..........................brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........here's my latest CNH!  That's Cool New Hat to any newbs that just joined.  Yes, it's Genuine Real Immitation Rattlesnake skin.......painted-on no less.  Amazing what $12.99 will buy in 2020!  Sorry, I can't send anybody one........it was the last one they had!  Talk about luck!  Just need to go grab some nice Rooster feathers off one of my big rooster's ass to stick in the band. Whatcha think? Really makes my dimp...
