Luck of the Draw --- BLASTED!

This is scoreboard showin where Eric actually blasted me in MY game--Scrabble.
Backstory - The 1st letters he drew (to challenge) spelled out Optimal..bingo off the board!! UGH! 70+ points before I even got the game challenge!! lol


Then, there was NO catchin up with low-level tiles....Eric even drew the  X & Q, too...bummers for me...lol
The score was 378 E to my 237 when I left home for frollickin w/the girls!
Before I left I did manage to draw the Z and make 32pts.---toooo little, toooo late...hahaha


Final score:  Eric  383, me 236.....
Point of story: It IS the luck of the draw, and receivership of high-score tiles....pitiful 1s &2s won't do much of a job "catchin up".
Eric is very happy to have WON and beaten his Mama at "her" game....Oh well, truth is: there can only be ONE winner.....somebody has to lose. :((
The game is just that---a game---and it's FUN to play...will keep doin just that....outcome be danged!! hahaha  :)))))

Me, NEEDLES, YES!

Anyone who knows me is already aware of this fact. I do NOT like needles.....AVOID them @ every opportunity! My Dr. struggles to get shots into me! I'd rather take oral meds ANY day....lol   I've been forced to make exception to that on few occasions. Antibiotics. Liver biopsy. Steroids (hate those, the med BURNS!) Now I'm in PT for my hip and leg pain. It's PT, or continue to walk in pain. I chose PT. These lil suckers are wonnnnnderful!!! In only 3 sessions, these guys have gotten rid of my intense pain...Happily, they really don't 'hurt'. There is some slight prick-feel (like shot needles). When they are popped into my "sore spots", it's a bit tender....but then, there's this "heat" sensation. PT instructor explained that means the blood is again flowing, and it helps relax the "tied-up" nerves. Whatev..........I  LOVE it! So, guess and "ol dog" can learn new lessons! hahaha I still do NOT like shots

This movie made an unexpected visit here Christmas Eve! Donnie, being the prankster he is!, and Pam decided to play a "funny" on Stacey & Marc. Some of you may know.....Stacey was able this yr. to purchase a house. We've all been so excited for them, and now their money goes NOT to rent, but into a home that will be theirs to grow the kids there. They moved into the house 'bout July. Within a couple of months.....they had to replace the air conditioning system AND dig up the septic....ugh. Now, unfortunately, there seems to be some damage to the roof. ugh. (piece of ceiling in kitchen "fell in"). It's been a tough time for repairs/replacements! So, Donnie went out, searched and found this movie.....gave it to Stacey & Marc as a "gift"......It really WAS quite funny (at the moment!) Notice the looks on Stacey & Marc's faces in these..... Now....it was like my sweet Daddy was present! Daddy had a talent for "pic
