My Avatar
I chose Cate Blanchett’s image as my avatar because of her film role as Queen Elizabeth I. “Jeruba” is an imaginary warrior queen. However, Cate’s images in character are grim-looking; I prefer a smile. I never really intended to assume the face of a glamorous actress who does not resemble me, but there it is.
my pleasure~~~~~~:)

I got pricked by your “Perhaps we are looking for clarity…” Perhaps we should simply PM each other and preen a lot.
I am engaged now in an arduous and depressing program of PT to isolate and stretch each individual muscle that supports the knee. Being a chronically good girl, I will do them of course.

If you are looking for a charming series, get the DVDs of Doc. Martin and watch them in order.
From Imdb: “For anyone who is a fan of any British television, this is a must own.
.. not only a wonderful, quirky show, but it is a true ensemble effort with a perfect supporting cast.”

I love the mountains second only to the beach.
I am glad that your MRI was negative. Were you having symptoms that required you to have it? I hope that you were not in pain.
Jannbb and I were talking about what a vast wasteland Fluther has become of late. Sigh.
