@Calmwaters Any less pain today, or recently at all?
Well it was doing pretty decent but then I think I over did it sweeping and cleaning and doing laundry and going to the grocery store because now I'm hurting enough to be thinking about taking pain pills and you know how it feel about those.

I just looked up a recipe for it. It sounds delicious.
It is amazing! His mom made the best Mexican cornbread but he said mine is pretty close. She never used a recipe just put stuff together and made it taste good. 😆

I do. Now I know how much you're actually hurting. That would've been enough to make my back hurt on a good day!

My wife has joined all of you with an injured back and WILL NOT slow down either.

I was tired of looking at the mess. My husband tries he's good at a lot of things but he's not good at sweeping... LOL

Duh, you already diddled. Oh well.

I filled up on Friday and it was $3.95 . I believe I heard this has reached the gas price of 4 years ago when Russia invaded Ukraine. It came down from that and it will again. Don’t run out and trade your car in on a solar one.
