bland is the most important ingredient in hospital food - otherwise folks would never leave!

Keep well, then. ;-)

Glad the coffee was OK. The hospitals here all have Tim Horton's outlets in 'em, so as not to have patients going into withdrawals on top of their ills.

Welcome home, Tom. Are you taking in the single malt via a tube or sipping it?

When will we celebrate Linn's birthday? I have 8 huge tubs filled with stuff for the yard sale. Any or all of it is hers.

Have a use for several dozen organ pipes, both wood and metal?

Welcome home! And hoping to see you both on Saturday - but only if the energy from the shanty sing will be significantly more healing than the effort it takes you to get there.

Hugs to you both,
JudyB

Linn and Tom, my best wishes to both of you. This has got to be scary and stressful. It looks like the worst is behind you. Tom, I hope you have a quick, uneventful, and complete recovery.

{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} to both of you.

No more smoking Tom, I'm granting myself permission to slap you upside your head if I catch you. Aside from that, I'm glad to see you're out & about again & I was thinking that you might have missed me since I was away when all this happened, "I'm back" so you'll either be getting a kiss or a slap, I don't know which will be worst for you but try smoking & find out. Might see you Friday or Saturday, be forwarned.

Love Ya
Barry

Organ pipes, Mary!

I already have one wooden (A, I think) pipe given to me by a friend who worked for a company that repaired and restored organs. (Now he builds citterns, bouzoukis, and octave mandolins.)

Actually, I'd love a few more to add to the collection.

David Behm used to be able to get overtones when he blew into the pipe -- he had a pretty good set of "pipes" himself!

hey Linn, with a bunch of pipes you could strategically place them so it looks like you have a pipe organ in the house!! and have visitors trying to work out where the keyboard and power plant are!!

Put the pipes around the house, rig them so they blow bubbles or make various indiscrete sounds....

Linn, be careful what you wish for...I was with Mary when she went to pick up those pipes, and there are a lot of them! You will probably end up with all of them if you aren't careful!

Tom - Glad you are home.

Sorry I have not been around but I too was "paying penance" for an early dismissal plus dealing with some other family matters. This kept me away except to read a few and I followed your homecoming and finally now get around to saying.........GLAD YOU'RE HOME!!!

Now take care and try to follow the plan. I know that personally I will say damn near anything to get out of the hospital. I'm told I once even agreed to go underwater and fornicate with a flounder if I could get released.   Happily, that one turned out to be a bad trip from the meds I was on, but I think I have been that desperate.   So remember, you have to do what you promised the Docs.........uh, nothing about fish was there?

Did get some bad news this morning -- or rather, disappointing.

The Jazz-min sighting turned out to be a false alarm. The look-alike turned out to be part of a batch of nearly grown kittens -- too young and unspayed to be our girl. That call came first thing this morning, so, besides being exhausted, I'm not in the best of moods today.

Trying to get somewhat caught up and back on schedule at work, right now. Arghhh!

Linn and Tom,

I am *so* glad to hear that things are going well.
Take your medicine as you should (all of it!) and take good
care of each other. It's a relief to come back after
several days away (in lovely Lexington, Virginia)
and hear that all are on the mend... and the cat may
even come back.

cheers, Pamela

Glad you're home Tom - I've just sprung Kendall from the hospital where he had another op on his vocal chord today.

Take care - we'll see you on the 14th. I won't be able to make this Saturday.

I thought the pipes might make a lovely grotto for our headless Jesus. But if Linn wants all three thousand of them - so be it!

Linn, I'm sorry to hear that the Jazz look-alike was not the original Jazz.

Jacqui - how long do you have to wait for a report from the surgeon?

See Liposuction thread. Kendall is back.

Tom called to say "Hi" the other night. He sounds really good and not at all curmudgeonly. Welcome back.

JudyB took most of the pictures and processed them for the web link.

But Tom does look great considering his recent ordeal!
