The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Wow, sitting out back with the doxies as I write this, and it is already 23C with a 29C humidex reading. Luckily, the deck and garden are shaded at this time of the day, so the doxies are just lounging. Lazy bums ....................

Don, I am finding it interesting reading the Live Chat postings on SAP. What is your mil rate in St.A.?

Quite the pool shark on SAP, Don ................... and ONLY 7!!! Amazing.

Morning Marc, I see you have read SAP already and yes that kid is sure a natural at pool. I am snowed under with material and will have to toil many hours today to get out from under. Later . . .
Well, I am on summer holidays and enjoying the outdoors, so thought I would journey over to SAP with some ice tea.

morning everyone, Marc thank you so much for the coffee it lead me straight to you. Nice pictures from the boat *thumbsup*
Morning, Kim. Enjoy the coffee. Yes, it was a beautiful night for a sail and I slept well. Must be the sea air.

How is your neck/shoulder today?

I haven't been sailing in quite a while, can't remember if it made me sleepy or not?? might be the rocking of the boat :D

I have a question for all in the "Shang" who has been to a physiotherapist and what is/was your results?? I have tendonitis in my right shoulder and when I go to the physiotherapist I hurt worst for at least 2 days after then I do when I first go there. Not sure if this is normal or not??

Here you go Marc:
Interesting. Ours is 10.6, with a $700 yearly water tax. Still, it is the assessed value of one's home that makes the difference. Luckily, our home is assessed at about half of what we could sell the house for in the near future.

Yes, it is strange, but the same thing happened to me as well. Still, it is slowly getting better, but my heavy gardening is not really helping it much. :(

Morning everyone. Nice pictures Marc ... it's good that you've had such great weather to be able to get out on the sea, and enjoy such pleasures.

Kim ... I have had physiotherapy on both knees -- The first, after knee surgery, and it was of the good old-fashionned kind, with physical exercises, at home and in a class-setting at a hospital. Pain and a little swelling after the exercises, but quick recovery.
The second, the other knee, was after a fall, no physical damage to the knee, but considerable swelling and pain. The therapy for this was totally different - no exercise, just ultrasound and "electronic" procedures, and ice packs. It took a good 12 sessions of these treatments to fully-'fix' the problem. And if I tried to exercise between sessions, it really made matters worse, and the knee swollen and very painful. I thought the treatments looked a little 'phoney', but they seemed to work (eventually).
Not sure how they are treating your condition.

Cheers!

Morning, John. Yes, we have been having great weather for sailing this summer. Luckily, this time I remembered my camera.

28C with a 34C humidex reading ................ even the doxies would consider a G&T or a beer right now. Cold water is all they are going to get, however. Me, on the other hand, well, that's another matter.

Just 22°C at the moment, on the way to a predicted 24°, humidity down to 55%

All in all a great day, sunny with a light breeze

Lunch time now, may have a cold one later in the afternoon
I'm with you, Bill. 27C with a 32C humidex reading at we approach 3PM. A fine excuse for a cold one of some sort.

So, how is Life treating you these days, mon ami?

23° just past the noon hour with a humidex of 28°. Sunny and warm.
We hit 34C with the humidex reading at just after 3PM and I did something I have not done in ages .................. take a long nap. It is now 24C with a 29C humidex reading, and the winds have picked up, so it is a grand evening coming up.
