It’s pretty simple Bally .. in youtube link for song select and copy everything you see after the equal sign.

Come to Shed.. start post.. press on small youtube icon on top of post box when ready to imbed vid. A box will appear with youtube on it and you paste your copied link ( after the equal sign ) into that box and press ok. It should imbed into the post.

Hope that helps unless your having problems with the copy and paste part with your mouse.
Keep practicing.. you’ll get it and get better ! 😁

Hope you’re keeping well Bally .

The girls are fine. Everything's fine. Mom's been sick but it doesn't stop her from smoking. She's still filling the whole damn house with smoke even though I'm trying to quit. Everything's fine though.

Had to get up early as I'm going out with my friend later. Eyes are like slits as I try to write something cohesive.
I suppose I should get dressed and comb my hair.

From You, "Grr, I've got another blocked oil gland in my eyelid again.", What's that all about? It looks like it's happened more than once!?

There's glands in the upper and lower eyelids, called Meibomian glands. Their job is to provide the lubricating agent of the tears in your eyes, so that most importantly, the tears don't evaporate as quickly, and also so when you blink, it's a smooth swipe, and trapped particles are swept out more easily. Irritation prevention oil, if you will

Mine get blocked up I'm not quite sure if it qualifies as a Chalazion cyst, I think it technically is. I'm more familiar with Chalazions that last a long time before going away (or never) rather than the ones I get that block up the gland for a week or two, then go away for many months before acting up again. Sometimes it's the same one, sometimes it's a completely different area on the eyelid (thus a different gland) All told, I think there's at least a combined 50 individual glands secreting this oil in both the upper & lower eyelids of each eye.

For the past few weeks or so I have had an issue with My Right eye. It's like it 'weeps', but not just thin liquid, but more of a thicker goo that keeps comin' out. I wipe it and a few seconds later it weeps again. Goes on for about an hour, then stops, till the next night. We've got a few Glade AirWick's that shoot out a small cloud of Scent, every 20 mins or so. I thought that might have been what's causing My Right Eye probs, but if that were the case, I would think it would affect Both Eyes... Also, it does not happen every night. I say night because CC and I watch a Movie or Two every night starting at around 8 P.M. So it's another odd thing that happens to Me, but it does NOT happen To CC at all. Go figure! LOL!!

Huh, you got me stumped there. It really sounds like a low-grade eye infection more than anything, but I'm no doctor, so my best advice is to get it checked by one, if you can!

a reply to: Nyiah

Yah I'll take Yer advice and get an appt set to see a Doctor about My Eye issue. It certainly couldn't hurt to See one...

Hey Bro! Good Luck on Quitting Smoking! CC and I are trying to do the same. We burned Our last Cig just before Midnight, New Years Eve. Then She told Me she smoked a Cig over at Our Son's place, like Yesterday or day before. So I burned one. Our Doc prescribed Bupropion. Helps with Anxieties, and reduces cravings for Nicotene... That Med works much better than another Med we tried years ago. Was called Chantix. That didn't work for Me at all. CC didn't have any luck with that one either actually...

A read for those who can handle yucky stuff. My horror story. A rant in The Shed,

Well, this tests my patience. So there was the fires, okay, enough of that. Followed by no power and phone for weeks. Cool, dealt with that. No water. Got some delivered after facebook post. Re-rigged the house with electric pump instead of gravity feed from the tower. S'alright but blew the old plumbing. Water throughout the house. Fixed but not real good. (Lots of leaks.) Cleaning up and taking in losses. Power restored. Some pleasing rain during xmas.

Local council sends tanker to deliver more water, thanks' but pumped too hard into house tank. Stirred it up and blocked plumbing. Required fixing.

Reported here on the shed a couple of days ago got some rain but lightning took out our power pole and phones again. Dammit! Fixed. Power restored. Microwave oven death from surge. Phone restored today by linesman. Pretty good for a Saturday. Then,,,,, "Why is the light out on the upright freezer." (Truey)

So, this freezer had (and the operative word is had) the last remaining bits of a slaughtered steer. Not much but mostly kidney, liver and sausages. Stupid here lifts lid. Now, I have seen and smelt a lot of dead bodies over many years. (My previous job) Some in the desert in a very bad state. I handled it. This really hit me hard when I opened the lid of the freezer. Reminder, it is hot here. No Aircon.

My perking started immediately. Lid slammed down. Blahhh, out the door. Much expletives from "Truey" re the smell. Me, I'm out in the yard upping up. Couldn't stop. All's good, 'True Love' takes charge and with the 'young fella' they had the freezer out of the house and into the yard. The smell, was like a corpse. So between gags I find face masks, spray them with toilet deodorant (all I could find). A muffled "Here, put these on. " I says. Truey does but young fella looks at me. (Me :Tears coming from gagging). "Are you alright dad?" So we unload the freezer contents into large garbage bags. Me going "oof, oof!" I place the bags into a wheel barrow and take them to a place on the block with a large hole. Dump them there and cover the bags with soil and ash.

Got back to the house and the team are spraying and washing the freezer. The flies, there was hundreds of them. The house smelt like dump. I double mask up. Into the fray with sprays throughout the house. Insect and some flowery smellin ones. Mess cleaned, housed mopped with bleach and several incense sticks going. Fans, the lot.

Truey' has to go to work. Has a shower, comes out. "The shower water is cold, but it's okay." So young fella and I go around to restart the gas hot water service. Plenty of gas. Hmm. Igniter not flashing up. Cause = blown heat sensor from the lightning strike. Strewth, Crikey, bum, poo, wee!!!! Have to wait until Monday and do a town run to buy a newy. No hot water till replaced.

Regardless of the cleaning, spraying and incense. The house still stinks just from opening that lid. Put it this way. I had not long before washed the dishes and had them drying in a rack. Later when they were dried I smelled them. They really smelt. erk, erk, erk. Re wash dishes with extra detergent and water from the kettle.

Any dragons out there whose breath smells like roses?

The worst of this rant. I have no Grog. Dammit!

My days,

Kind regards as always,

Bally

Good Lord!




Sorry, but that gave me visuals. It was like something out of a comedy movie.

Well, with all that bad luck, you can only have good luck from now on. Right? Right?

Looking for the dragon with rose scented breath. Be right back.

Oh and...here, have a beer. Poors Bally a tall fat mug of ale.

It's the dragon smoke.

Thanks for the beer. I will need it. My job now is to rinse and re clean the freezer. Erp!

Things can only get better. Expecting more rain this evening.

It's hard, even harder when you can't get away from it.

a reply to: bally001

Gah, I wrote poors instead of pour.

YAY more rain for you! Woo hoo!

Good riddance to bad rubbish..
may old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind...
( sorry.. venting )

Well, we're good to go for the winter mix storm. We're forecast for a lot of plain old rain overnight, and mostly freezing ran later this morning & all day, so hubby and the older kid went and did the grocery shopping (needed to anyway) by themselves while the younger one & I stayed home this time.

Bad move on my part.
Hubby went a little nutso, unsupervised at the meat counter -- that's a hell of a lot of t-bones and thick cut boneless pork chops in the deep freezer now. What the hell is it with you men & going whole hog on the meat purchases, lmao.
Oh well, whether or not the power goes out, we'll still be grilling it, lol. On the bright side, I can't actually get mad about it because they were on sale, and the price was pretty stinkin' good.

We diced and pan-seared a couple of those chops up last night for salad. Just your basic bell pepper, cucumber, and tomato salad, with diced pork chops mixed in. It was actually very good, and I'm not too keen on meat in my salads (walnuts are about as unconventional as I get) I dangled a tempting reason to spend the extra money on salmon for a change next time -- salmon salad. The kids actually eagerly agreed with that idea, which surprised me a bit.

I think Mr Fuzzy Buns is going to start spending his nights in his hutch until further notice, instead of by the heater in our bedroom. He keeps piddling on the couch in the middle of the night, dammit Bert! We put down towels on the couch cushions at night anyway, just in case he does pee on the couch, or the cat throws up (it's happened) It makes for very easy clean-up, just toss the towels in the wash. Otherwise, fold them up and set them aside for the next night. HOWEVER, I'm getting real tired of waking up & going downstairs every single night the last few days and noticing a fresh pee spot on the towels (definitely bunny pee, cat pee would reek, whereas bunny pee doesn't smell as much)
He's not going to be a happy camper tomorrow night, but so be it. Best I can figure is he's staking a claim to the couch, and that crap ends.

You're getting bad weather while over here it is like Spring. Very weird for this time of year, but I'm loving it! We have snow at the end of the week. You guys love the snow though. I only like it when I don't have to be out in it and trying to avoid ice patches. LOL
It's pretty when it covers the land and trees and glitters at night.
