loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Re Diane Bish and the Gigue Fugue. I doubt if there is a banjo player who could keep up with her Chulla. She Is quite the organist. We don't seem to hear so much of her these days. That is quite the organ too. The Ruffatti (spelling) organ at Coral Ridge Presbyterian in Florida. Amazing instrument. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 My year has had a lovely start, my daughter has gone for lunch with her best friends the first time since her op last december, she has always refused saying people stare. Her year has been poor last 2 months even more so, her friends have tried all year but she would only go out with us have dropped them in town just said call when you want to go home. I admit there were tears so happy she at last is moving forward in her life. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I fully understand your daughter's feelings Gem. I've had Mrs C pushing me around in a wheelchair for awhile & I didn't like it at all in fact I felt quite self conscious all the time. No need to but a big change like that will take some getting used to. Thankfully now back to my Tri-walker & now on really short journeys my walking stick. Point out to your daughter to hold her head up & don't give a toss what some people might think, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I have had calls from both my grandaughters.........mam says she's out, who's she with where is she,told them both mam is the adult you are the child. Youngest with a flair for exageration "nearly had a heart attack" when she said she was out, still out and enjoying herself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I all ways think that people who can play what I call a proper organ like the one above would make great helicopter pilots. If you can manage 4 keyboards with 2 sets of keys each, 2 sets of foot pedals and more stops, knobs and buttons that you can shake a stick at all at the same time flying a chopper would be easy-peasy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I can play the organ but I don't like heights...altitude makes me go deaf! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Where do I sign up to get me 'elicopter then? I think I prefer the organ. If you goof up at least you live to play another day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,409 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I've flown a small helicopter, horrible little things. Driving a car is more complex. it doesn't give you any confidence when they show you that the rotor is driven by a large fan belt, no gears involved! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,409 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 First question I asked Loppy, "when was that last changed" To make it go up you twist the throttle and pull on a lever (the collective) which puts pressure on a pully to tighten the belt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Took Bailey for his three year Rabies shot this a.m. Typical Bailey. He just acted like it was nothing. Apparently Jake howled after we left. He's become very attached to his dog. Bailey is up to 44 pounds from 30 now. Vet said he's in great shape. He's never had it so good. Lives like a king. Sleeping in the recliner now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just a thought Ben. This should probably be in the ailments thread, but I thought you might see it quicker. Several years ago I had a spot on my back. The doctor decided it wasn't cancerous and froze it off. I was ok for a couple of years then it came back. I thought I'd home remedy it this time. I read that aloe juice is good for such things. So I bought some and rubbed it on the spot morning and night. It began to shrink and within a month it was gone. Skin now as smooth as a babies bum, and thirty bucks saved. Not to mention no soreness from freezing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
