Welcome back Fred

Post by STEVIE »

Pretty sure that a lot of us around here to welcome back our Fred in Skirts.
I know that when a certain lady member becomes aware that she most certainly will.
From me personally though, I am very glad and we will hope to hear even more from Fred in the future.

I know I was certainly very happy to see him logged on sometime around noon Eastern/UTC-5. The last news I'd heard was rather dire, and one sometimes makes assumptions based on what news one has access to.

Then, to read him later in the day was even better as it wasn't a fleeting hint, but a solid presence.

Welcome back, Sir!

Once I found out that Fred had his computer back,
I'ld let him announce his return. Yes, it is great to
see him back in writing form :D

Welcome back Fred, hope you have an easier time going forwards! To think how the world can so turn upside down from a fall. To the future!

:twisted: Well whats left of me thanks you one an all.. :D

:thewave:

I am forced to live in a hospital bed that is not the most comfortable thing I have ever lived in. I'm force to eat very bad food that does not agree with the stomach and associated systems. :pale: :faint:

My body has fallen apart, my legs will not function at all and my arms have a limited range of motion. I have suffered with about 9 bouts with pneumonia since the fall. Of course on top of that "'' I am almost completely deaf and have three teeth left... And that is the good things.. :lol: :cry:
Well gotta go now the nurses aids are here to change my diapers.

[P.S.] I think I will leave them a stinky one... :twisted: :twisted: :hide: :tmi:

Glad to see you back, Fred. Sorry to hear that the circumstances aren't so great.

I know it is not in great circumstances, but when the cafe said it was your birthday, I had to mark it.

Fred,
As one superannuated old lag to another, Happy Day and I wish you well in your 84th year. Welcome to the Club. I've been enjoying mine for nearly 9 months now and marvel at how speedily 2026 has gone, so far.
Like yourself, I also have great-grandchldren, now 6 in number. Our mainland is called Eurasia, but here we live on small islands, so only 3 Gt Grndkids are here, the other three over in the UK....also a small island !
