Rammy's Ramblings

[greybeard]

Maybe one day will learn it good enough to visit India. Good incentive, huh?

I suggest you begin and end your tour of 'Indja' with Calcutta (now called Kolkota) and Delhi, and book a boat trip up the 'gorgeous' Ganges River..
(Hire bodyguards and then hire a different set of bodyguards to protect you from the 1st bodyguards)
Don't forget scenic Mumbai (formerly Bombay) with the world's largest shantytown where women, young boys, and girls are openly regarded, traded, and treated as chattel.

Can you fake a cat purr? That often takes a tongue flutter.

 

[Rammy]

Only with my lips. My tongue is another deal. I can sort of roll the r if its single but double Im having trouble. And I can only sort of roll it if I have water or something in my mouth. Ive been practicing but the words people say to practice with I dont seem to get it. Like the word butter........your suppose to say it quick and eventually you roll your r's. Not me! One word Im having trouble with is garm......it means hot or warm........your suppose to roll the r and say the m kind of the same time. My instructor says Im 80% there. Ive been trying to say it for three months. It sounds like Im strangling a cat.
I was hoping maybe someone on here could give me some pointers on techniques or things I can practice. I cant do a cat purr. Darnit.

As stated on @Mike CHS thread, we got good news about Moms MRI scan. It showed no cancer, just pancreatitis. She has to change her diet. No fatty foods, no fried foods. Lots of veggies like broccoli, kale, spinach I think she said. There are some other things she needs to do as well but she definitely is relieved to dodge the dreaded cancer diagnosis.
I told her how glad I was cause she cant leave just yet.
Ive been sick past couple days. Think its just allergies. Scratchy throat, sneezing. Head felt like a bowling ball. Thursday night got no sleep cause of congestion even tho I took stuff for it. Im one of those, "dont take meds until I cant take it anymore" type person. But my Mom said, "promise me you will take something", so I did cause you cant go back on your word when it comes to Moms.
Feeling alot better today.
Head doesnt feel like I ran into a brick wall.
Also think I need new glasses. Maybe will go get an exam at Wallyworlds eye center. They usually do a good job. Old lenses are losing thier coating and have noticed I can see better close up without them on. Time for new ones.

Miss @Rammy, so glad your mom doesn't have cancer -- pancreatitis is a whole lot easier to deal with.

There are some other things she needs to do as well but she definitely is relieved to dodge the dreaded cancer diagnosis.

I bet she is! I sure would be.

 

[farmerjan]

Glad that your mom got a "live with" diagnosis rather than a devastating one.

 

[Latestarter]

for mom's diagnosis! Hope you can get some rest and feeling better.

 

[Rammy]

Thank you everyone. Im definitely breathing a sigh of relief as well as Mom and the entire family.

Sad note....one of my Russian Orllof chicks I had had proven to be an escape artist. I just went out to lock them up and found her floating in the cattle trough. I had chased her back in the fence earlier today and I guess she escaped again. Just in the wrong spot. Darnit.

Sometimes you can't save stupid... Sorry you lost her.
