Been thinking!

Postby >>>---WW----> » 04 27, 2020 •  [Post 1]

Yeow, I know!!! When I get to thinking, that could be dangerous. But I was thinking about Tiggers ( Face to face ) post last week.

With all this Covid 19 stuff going on, our church can not have regular services. So, we came up with an on line conference service called Zoom. Now we can have our service and be able to see and talk with all the congregation. And it is a free program. All you need is a mic and camera on you computer. I think we had 49 computers hooked up on it last Sunday and it worked like a champ. Good video and sound.

What do you think? Is this something we could all use here on WT to meet face to face? You can google Zoom to check it out if you are interested.

I don't have a camera that works with my computer, but I got a haircut Saturday. I had no idea that my wife is a pretty good barber. She did as good as the pros and was a whole lot cheaper.

Yikes! That's some serious noggin twisting you done come up with! I love the idea. I've already been doing virtual cigar nights with some buddies, and I'd be down to join a zoom call if the time permits.

Heck, if it's not for another couple weeks y'all can see my post colon removal wounds! :lol:

That sure sounds exciting Dwarf. There is nothing like seeing a picture of a bloody rectum on a paper towel right before dinner. :shock:

Swede no problems we don’t want to see you anyway :D


We used Zoom yesterday to have a meeting regarding the Primary kids; worked well my camera was working but somehow I messed up and couldn’t see others so felt like I was on a conframce call
My niece is serving a LDS mission. They have been giving lessons and teaching with Zoom since this started

I just dropped my wife off for a surgery an hour ago

Guys. this generally isn’t something I do and share
My wife just sent me a message, the surgeon said my wife has “ unusual cercumstanxes and will be doing more removal and just told her.

She had cancer in her neck 28 years ago same area I have been suspicious of the lack of a confirmed diagnosis since March

Well, I originally made a wisecrack in response to Swede, but then read what Lefty said about his wife. Decided now wasn't the time for humor. I'll be praying for your wife Lefty!

Wow what a day,..
.The Dr cancelled the rest of his day for my wife. At 10:15 I got a call from the Hospital,,, a really bad 5 or 6 seconds for me from the earlier expectations. Then sorta bragged it was much easier than expected and went really well. Picked her up at noon
So thanks for the prayers

And I could use a little humor,.. relieve the stress headache from this morning

Great news Dennis! Time to put your French waiter duds on, give her a menu and a little bell, and cater to the Mrs. :)

Anyway good to hear Lefty. And Malachi I look forward to hearing about you running around the mountains and killing big bulls soon. I might just treat you real nice shortly after you have your anus laying on a surgery tray, but don't bank on it. In the meantime I will pray for you characters.

Started as soon as I walked into recovery. What a joyous thing to do.
The pain meds make her quite entertaining too

I poked fun at Dwarf as well before I saw the post about Lefty's wife. My son had part of his colon removed several years ago and he did just fine with it. My prayers are with you and with Lefty's wife as well. I wish a speedy recovery for both of you.

This thread is about "been thinking" so I have started thinking and wondering. Is there anyone here, that posts fairly frequently, that I have missed with my zingers? I just looked in my sack of insults, and see I have enough left to be sure you feel like kicking your computer or smart phone into the next county. :shock:

Lefty, what a relief for you and your wife!

Malachi, you paint a, um, vivid picture with your post. I join the other unusual suspects here in standing by for good news and sending strong thoughts on your behalf.

WW, good idea. As usual from you. Always enjoy seeing your username show up.

Uh oh, I didn't expect Swede to start thinking! Now we're really in for it. Anyone who wants to see the walls of my trophy room will be sadly disappointed. My maps are all drawn in invisible ink. :mrgreen:

And that's great to hear your wife is doing well Lefty!

Did I read that right that Lefty put his French maid outfit on and walked into the recovery room wearing it? I for sure do NOT want to know why you even HAVE a French maid outfit. :shock:

And now we have Swede thinking. that just takes the cake. How much weirder can 2020 get?

You jerks are just fortunate that I like hanging out here.
And what's with Elkduds. He likes to see WW's user name. :roll: WW had a good idea once, but he is so old that before he could inform his fingers what to type on his keyboard, the thought was lost. He is still looking around the house to see if he can find it. Good luck. :D

I started on a classless remark about Swede , funny but untrue :o



But I need to state first my wife is doing better than even the best outcome expected. And if it took a French maids dress I’m all good

So even my daughters dog is bored

I resemble that remark!!! But you're not far behind me Swede :lol:

But maybe we should let our fearless leader decide if this is a good idea or not. We all know that he is working from home during the Covid-19 thingy. But I have secret sources that claim the only thing he is working on is Big Red!

Yep, I snuck up to RJs garage and he is finally installing wood grain paneling on the side of Big Red. About half done. the texas cow horns are still mounted on the hood from when Swede installed them. I like the LED light bar that is now on top. The project is coming along nicely from the plain jane look it had before.

Sometimes that happens,,, Often 8-)

And I say good thing RJ is playing with Red,..We all need something we want to do.

I keep driving by this 42 Chevy pickup, Body looks great, ($2000) but with so many projects lined up. I just planted the early seeds in the garden , and dont have the mulch down for the squash and pickle cucumbers. I Do I check bear baits this weekend for something to do,..( the bears shouldn't be to the sites yet anyway :)

Leave Big Red out of this you darn heathens :x. She's on her spring vacation, hanging out in the shop... covered, content, and under swat team protection.

Its a good idea Bill. I'd like to see something like this come around.

Did you notice exactly what RJ said? Big Red is covered. The modifications are in progress, he just doesn't want any window peepers to be able to see! We knew it!!!! Very clever word play, but you can't fool us.

Tigger: RJ has removed the trunk lid and is building a wooden box to insert and extend out to make Big Red into hillbilly pickup. RJ has just a little cutting to do with a torch to get the box to fit right. Then it will be ready to bolt down. At that time it will be ready for the cover to be removed and all can see it.
