@Reef Devils hey Parker, I bet you never thought that starting a reefing hobby and joining a reefing community blog, that you’d inherit an entire “virtual” family, sitting on the bleachers, cheering you on?!?
We put the FUN in dysfunctional?

I am getting ready to go see Tim someday, it is part of my dream so I'm practicing my taconess (real word I just made up but still real) so I'm ready.! ;)
 

Dammitttt Tim, I keep laughing out loud on ur replies! Which wouldn’t be a problem except… I might have done a thing today.

Was unloading groceries out of car; neighbor saw me and said he would do it and I was grateful. I said, hand me a light bag, he said no, just take the 6-pack of corona in the house and I’ll do the rest.

So my mother doesn’t allow shoes in the house, so I have these stupid cheap slides I use outdoors.

Got to door, started opening and sandal slide forward and down I went - beer and all. I was already barely walking because spine has hit leg nerve very hard 5 days ago, and that’s the leg that buckled. Lost 3 of the beers - lol. And my embarrassment was more then I could bare. He had to lift me off my **** and I hobbled to a chair. My mom came out and finished putting away groceries and my sweet neighbor cleaned the glass all over front porch.

Yep, felt like a big failure and was sooo angry because I actually woke up,this morning feeling like the leg was much better and now it’s so bad I’m not sure what to do.

Sorry, just venting; I put I up a strong demeanor for my Mom. She can’t take it.

But if we had all been sitting around the table when Timmy finished with a zinger as usual, I would have shouted while laughing, messing Stop It! Hehehehe
 
I made the girls roasted parsnips, steamed broccoli and kale and steak.
But....
I made tacos for myself!!!
Just finished 3 tacos and a michalada- I think I need one more taco

I always need one more taco...
Thought you were the Corona girl ;)

So I did not tell my wife this but I put a Sunday special on the menu in honor of @tbrown.
Tim's enthusiasm about food and his creativity has almost inspired me to like food again.
We are having a chorizo Benedict with avocado on top!
Monte Cristo, a southwestern style sheppard's pie and mint chocolate chocolate chip pancakes.
Thanks Mr Brown for the inspiration.

Oh my no bueno!
Definitely take no chances like Frank said goodness I'm keeping you close in my thoughts. :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Thank you Frank. No swelling, it the upper thigh to the knee nerve. I already had an MRI scheduled for next week to see how bad the spine is compressing so not much to do but ice it and lay around like a walrus.
