DW bought several Honeycrisp apples – couldn't resist, apparently ;). Waxed 2024 ... still tasty ...

Microwaved, still good. Banana on Corn Flakes. Oolong.

Reading about language. Vocalizations by Bonobos are called "calls." Maybe we are coming closer to considering them as language ;). Combination calls are thought by some researchers to sometimes mean more than has been previously thought. Okay

English. The "er" sound. I'm not quite sure what all the linguists are talking about in combinations with other sounds. But, with my hearing, that can't be surprising. Anyway, use is confined to a very few languages. Two just happen to be English and Mandarin Chinese. Sooo, there is no shortage of humans who use this sound in everyday speaking ;).

regional accents are very interesting and the 'er' sound is a part of one of them that has always struck me as odd. i mean the northeastern accent where I DE UH is often heard more often as I DEER.
 
I’ve had my coffee, waiting on daylight so I can get the day started. Yesterday I slaughtered 14 chickens and processed them. They are enjoying freezer camp. I started at 9 AM, walked out of the kitchen at 10 PM. I took time out to do evening chores and a wine break last night, only had 4 more to process, but was so tired and sore. LOL
This morning I’m borrowing a neighbor’s truck to go get a 1,000 pound super bag of feed. I’ll bail it into 5 gallon buckets and dump in the metal trash cans that keep the rats and mice out.
 
My husband has eye cancer. Inside. Its grown over the last 1.5 years. We went to OHSU a teaching and research hospital in Portland OR. He has four options:
1. Remove the eye as a preventative measure against ocular melanoma. NOPE
2. The tumor is leaking fluid on each of the long sides. Get eyeball shots with a med to dry that fluid up, so she can look at it more closely in three months. Will decrease his vision some.
3. Put a bottle cap stitched to the eye with radiation beads in the cap. Radiate the tumor for a week. Will decrease vision alot, but hopefully tumor shrinks. Lots of vision loss. NOPE
4. Use a laser blah blah, but its experimental and not in full tests yet. NOPE.

Hubs chose #2. His first eye shot is at the end of the month. I don't remember if they are weekly, or what. It was a whole bunch to listen to and she talked fast.

So fast that hubs told son that they will be putting a needle in his eye to withdraw the water. I softly corrected him. We go back in July to see how the tumor looks. Obviously he'll be part of this Doc's research since he's got a Bum Luck diagnosis.

edited to add> its a one in one million chance of this ocular cancer. Doc is the one that called it Bum Luck.

I'm so sorry 😞

Sending healing hugs to you both :hugs:hugs
 
Oh, its cancer. It will turn into melanoma, if we don't fight it right now. Choroid placement, all the way in the back. Its too small depth wise to biopsy it. She said that her something probe is 1.25 mm and the tumor is 0.80 mm in depth. So the chance of grabbing a piece of it is slim to nothing.

Its rare, with it occuring one in a million humans. Shoulda bought a lottery ticket with those odds!!
