Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a user learning to use their camera phone, sharing photos taken from various locations around their home, and expressing excitement about the local wildlife, particularly a large unidentified bird humorously dubbed "notagoshawk." Participants engage in identifying the bird, suggesting it might be a red-tailed hawk or a ferruginous hawk due to its size and coloration. The conversation also touches on gardening challenges in a shaded patio area, with advice on potential planting solutions. The user shares a personal anecdote about falling near a ravine, which resulted in a broken arm, and humorously mentions that their pet, referred to as the "Fruit Bat," also sustained an injury during the incident. The thread highlights a sense of community as users share their experiences with birds and gardening while providing support and encouragement.

You really should see a doctor, or at least ask your dentist if it's related. I hope you feel better soon!

Agreed...call a REAL doctor (not your usual pill-pusher) and let them know about the recent dental work in addition to the drop in temperature and nausea before passing out. If you have some sort of infection getting into your heart valves (a real risk of invasive dental procedures like root canal) that's not yet triggering a fever, that sort of thing could cause weird symptoms like that. If it's something like that, you DON'T want to wait, you want to be on antibiotics right away before it does permanent damage. Or, it could be a weird coincidence with the timing (the arm was healed, the tooth was fixed, so time for Evo to acquire a new injury), but still something that should be thoroughly checked out. The drop in temperature and nausea are especially concerning and make it more than just an odd bout of fatigue or onset of flu or something.

Agreed, Moonie. Get to a real diagnostician, Evo!

93°F is worrisomely low. There can be several reasons for low temperature, including sepsis (widespread infection), of which septicemia is one possibility. Possibile infection could have spread from the abscessed tooth. There are other causes as well.

If the fainting or low temperature reoccurs - go to an ER - don't wait.

Bear with me, I'm learning how to use my camera phone and I've just e-mailed these to myself from my phone. When I get my SD adaptor hopefully they'll look better.

This is from my bedroom window

From the back door (you can see how quickly the yard drops off into the ravine) this is where I fell and broke my arm

Here is a picture taken from my patio a few minutes ago with the camera the Evo Child gave me for mother's day. Ah, I see that I need to set the date.

Great shot, Evo but perhaps issue a height fear warning too: don't look if you're acrophobic.

You should come to Quebec and see the snow here!

I'll be creating a website with Quebec pictures soon, and I'll link you to it.

(Adding to photoshack and linking all the time is annoying.)

Snow? You want snow? This was my house in March. I would gladly have shared the snow with you.

Luckily, we had a week-long thaw in previous months and several rains that reduced the depth of the snow. We got well over 10' of snow last winter - lots of shoveling, snow-scooping, roof-raking, and snow-blowing. I'm glad it's over.

I think you're confused with some illegal substances.

Nice gully! Looks like a nice area.

Any signs of notagoshawk lately?

That's the "ditch of darn" - a terrain element that might be dangerous only if you are incapable of walking without falling down.

Gully? It's the CHASM OF DOOM! It's where I fell and broke my arm. :frown:

Ok, so it's not a staight 20 foot drop directly into the creek, but it's at least a 45 degree slope in some places, something young girls with baby stollers and babies can manuever down, but not EVO! I fell when I slipped on an 8" dip in the grass. But it was DARK, and the grass was wet, and I was wearing thongs. :rolleyes: If 8" can break an arm, just imagine what me tumbling 20 feet would do.

Yeah, when I as a kid we got about that much in one "event". My wife's parent's house was buried, and they had to climb out of upper-story windows to shovel out the doors. I had the responsibility of getting outside periodically to keep the doors clear so that they could be opened, and try to bust up the snow-banks from the plowing operations so that my father could get to work every day. Between the driveway, the clotheslines, and the paths to each, I shoveled pretty much full-time every day. This year was mild compared to that.

Well, don't do that again. Please don't go outside in the dark, especially when the grass is wet.

There isn't a porch light or some yard light back there?

I think you just landed hard. The secretary at our company was out walking her dog at night when he abruptly turned right in front of her. She fell over the dog and broke her forearm and IIRC sprained her wrist.

Just be careful - until we can build an Evo catcher back there. :approve:

The Evo racing-leather-duvet-bubble-wrap suit will be ready soon. I just have to figure out an air con system.

You need to wear MULTIPLE thongs? What is this? Pre-Depends training for middle-aged women.

I just want to make sure you didn't go out THERE!-----in your thong(s) again!

It looks a lot more inviting with green grass around it rather than ice and snow. That's about the slope of my little bit of backyard too, except mine goes up, so it's hard for me to slide down it. :biggrin: Though, when I had my china cabinet delivered, it arrived on a rainy day, and the delivery guys decided to come down the hill into the back door rather than up the stairs from the front...they didn't carry it so much as hold it propped up while they slid down on their butts! :bugeye: (I don't know how they managed not to break anything...the cabinet or themselves...the one guy took a nasty looking fall before the slide, and I really didn't think the cabinet was going to get to the bottom in one piece, and was half expecting to be providing ice for at least a sprained ankle for the delivery guy).

Aww.. I'm sorry to hear that.. get yourself a nice warm cup of tea (a true Brit's answer to everything :wink:) On second thoughts, wake up the Evo child and make her do it :smile:

Still, looks like you're doing well with the camera.. I see the incorrect date/time has disappeared!
