My "ugly" Christmas sweater says "May all your Christmases Bea White" with pics of Bea Arthur and Betty White. I proudly wear it.
I do also have a t-shirt of Bill Murray in a Christmas hat. Some of you will recognize that as a Chive shirt.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 199 - Dumb Poll of the Month

Hey Lodge. So, Dad's in a rehab facility. He was having chest pains last night, which has bothered him in addition to his back. It got worse last night, mom called 911. Because of his age and the fact that he had chest pain, they wound up admitting him. His heart is fine. His blood pressure skyrocketed. I think that was mostly due to nerves, anxiety, etc. They got that under control. They looked into his back, said he has compression disease syndrome. Not sure what that means.

They said they wanted him to go to rehab to help his back. Found a place close by, they transferred him around 6pm. My mom and brother were with him. The nurse got him out of bed, where he had been all day and night, to go weigh him, got him into a wheelchair, and his back started hurting him again. He'd been fine all day but he was in bed. It was really bad, and my mom said he wanted to go home. They hated leaving him. My mom is exhausted. I feel awful. They didn't call me till today. I have two doctor appointments tomorrow and will head up there afterwards. He's going to be in the through Christmas. I don't know how he's going to get through it. I hope they're able to help him. Please think happy thoughts for him.

:(

Clarification here, is that similar to what Mick Mars (Motley Crue) has? He has Ankylosing spondylitis, which majorly messes up the back (and other things).

Watching Dawson Family Feud on Twitch. Question was "name a word like "playboy" for a man who romances a lot of women."

"Lothario" got me automodded.

Maybe compression fractures? Sounds like even tho he wants to be home he is where he needs to be to get this straightened out. Really not good for him to be in bed all that time. Better to have someone assess and figure out the best way to get him moving rather than having him aggravated with everyone in the family when they are trying to get him to move. It may be that if they get him moving he does better. A lot of time the immobility and hanging out in bed actually makes things way worse. At first it feels better to be in bed but over time they become less and less mobile and with that they have more and more pain. Really stinks but this might be a blessing in disguise. There are some really good rehabs around here.

Happy thoughts for all of you. Not easy!

Good Morning Lodge!

If you wear that outfit into the Lodge, someone will say, "Where's the poll?"

So the Lodge lives on? Amazing -- I'm proud of all y'all. Hello; Merry Christmas; Happy New Year; and have a great <insert holiday name here> for whatever else comes and goes before I get back in here. You go into most long-living threads on the internet, and there are a bunch of posters that you don't know. But the Rep Lodge is rather unique, in that it doesn't really attract a lot of new followers. Ralph is about the only one who I see in a hockey forum, but I see Brent posting on GPL. Lewis and 'Trumpet are the others that I remember as dating back to the earliest days of organized repping.

Thanks for letting me stop in. A cold beer is about the only thing that would have improved the visit.
