Day 136
Amusing Things
12:02am:
Some things strike my funny bone.
Burgerville offers fish and chips which are good. I phoned up and ordered one to go:
Me: I'd like a Fish & Chips to go.
Order taker: What kind of fries do you want?
Me: What fries do you have?
Order taker: We only have regular fries. We're out of the other kinds. Sorry.
Me: OK! Then I'll take regular fries?!?
Lately, nearly everywhere that I go, people are saying, "Yah."
➜ I'll be right with yah.
➜ Will this table be OK with yah.
➜ Yah like Doctor Smith?
➜ Yah like Doctor Smith?
No problem instead of your welcome:
➜ Here are the shirts that you ordered.
Thank you.
No problem.
➜ You'll find those on aisle 5.
Great!
➜ You'll find those on aisle 5.
Great!
No problem.
5:09am:
Moving thru pain
I can't just lie around all day waiting for my burns to heal. Week after week! That's just not me! My mind is active. I gotta be doing stuff.
I've found that when I first get out of bed in the morning, standing up is sooooo darned painful around the bottom of both legs, and the tops of my feet. These are the burned places.
What I do is, get up and move around until I just cannot stand the pain anymore. Then I flop back in bed to take pressure off those painful areas. Ooooh! Lying down feels sooooo good!
My little notebook
I carry a tiny notebook with a pen. This tiny notebook is with me always. Anytime that an idea pops into my brain, I move that thought from my brain to that notebook.
Jotting the idea down allows me to forget about it. Then I attend to it later. Prioritizing the order of doing stuff as I go.
Reflectix
A while back a Reader commented to me about Reflectix. Was that Reader you? I am sooooo thankful!
Reflectix is a wonderful insulation product. A sandwich of insulation in the middle with waffled aluminum on the front and back. Only a 1/4" thick. Cut it with an ordinary scissors. Cheap! Comes in a roll [Link]. I use the small roll [Link].
Stealthy windows
I bought Reflectix to make Scampy's windows stealthy. It's so easy to apply! Cut to size to completely cover the inside of one of Scampy's windows.
I bought Jo-Ann craft spray adhesive to fix Reflectix to the window. Once a Reflectix blew away while driving. So, now at the top of a Reflectix, I put a line of Gorilla Glue dots to stop that blowing away from happening.
Keeps heat out!
Before I began using Reflectix, the Sun's heat would come thru the window behind me where I sit inside Scampy. The heat was annoying!
After Reflectix was applied to that window, no more heat! The inside of Reflectix on that window is now cool to the touch. Gotta love it! 😍
Note: I did some Reflectix revising just yesterday. A couple of Scampy's windows had Reflectix that was not properly sized. At the window's top, Reflectix, did not completely cover. Now it covers completely!
I'm kinda fanatical about stuff like this. If it's not right, I just keep pecking at it until it's the way I like it! 😍
1:30pm:
Silvadene reaction
This morning, shortly after changing my burn dressing, I observed a kinda bad allergic reaction happening to my left hand!
I phoned the Kaiser advice nurse, and she had go to the Kaiser Beaverton Medical Office for treatment.
Doctor Presson confirmed the allergic reaction to Silvadene. I am only using vaseline to moisturize now.
My burn progress is pretty good. Still hurts. But it's a mild hurt!
After all these years I'd like to keep on following you

You are now included 😎
George

A question, please.
ReplyDeleteIf ‘anonymous ‘ is not allowed, will you accept ‘John or Jane Doe’?
I don’t understand how your plan will block people you want blocked?
What am I missing?
Strictly as an example and nothing else.
DeleteStand Back wants to join your group?
Who is Stand Back? A friend? An enemy? How could you possibly know?
Just wondering.
Ed, Carol and Gopher the dog,
DeleteThis Blog restriction that I am doing is one of Blogger's options.
I provide Blogger with a list of Readers that I have approved. I make that approval judgment based on me being familiar with a Reader's Google name.
Very often, a Reader will ask to be on the list and I don't know that Reader. I then make my approval based on what that Reader wrote in their comment.
If Stand Back later proves to be a scammer, I remove Stand Back from the list.

ReplyDeleteBob has good discussion on insulation in his YouTube video that includes excellent information on Reflectix.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/FVk8csC6OiM
If the link is broken search YouTube for CheapRVLiving and The Truth About Insulating A Van
In the video Bob explains when Reflectix works and why it doesn't work as "insulation" but it is excellent as a reflective barrier.
I would like to continue following your blog.

ReplyDeletePlease add me to your list ... I have followed you since the beginning and you have inspired me so much! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi George, please include me...been reading your blog for a good many years. I can't imagine not being able to continue doing so.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many people ask to be added to the "list", there will be several times as many that will not ask because it is weird and will not solve your "problem." Your paranoia and your habit of thumbing your nose at the law is the cause. Sleeping on city streets is creepy. I too have followed you from the beginning but will be saying goodbye.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well.
Now that was an uncalled for, judgemental comment. I thought it was creepy. George has provided insight into how to live not just wait to die.
DeleteYour opinion. I call it like I see it!
DeletePlease allow me access to your blog. I don't comment much and sometimes I get behind, but I have checked on you for years!
ReplyDeleteHave been a reader for 7 years now and would like to continue too be.
ReplyDeleteVaseline of any quantity is the worst thing you could put on a burn
ReplyDeleteNo nurse. OR doctor would prescribe it
It's a petroleum based jelly but don't listen to me do the research

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how many people read your blog but don't READ your blog
DeleteYou would just be better off by taking the word < Anonymous >out of your < comment as> portion of your blog site problem solved
But then again this must be one of your test,, did I pass
That is only true for a fresh burn, George was burned days ago.
Deletelooked at the Vaseline label it said for minor burns.
DeleteMr. G does not have minor burns he has a major burn
First aid for burns is immersion in cold water to get the heat out quickly. The problem with grease, claimed the specialists, is that it isn’t sterile and can promote bacterial infection if the skin has been broken by the burn.
