I enjoy Brussels sprouts for dinner now and then, and have had tasty shaved sprouts salads….

But no.
To the name and the idea.

I beg to differ.
Has anyone measured our President?

I found this old picture of us on the back of a lobster boat in a drawer the other day. Taken a few years after we were married, maybe 1988? My hair was a mess from being on the water, but I fondly remember having two fully functional (and thin!) knees.

I can see that.

Am I the only one who never knew this?

Gorgeous gams!

Not trying to talk you into knee replacement, but my husband’s scar looks surprisingly good. I thought it would be awful, but it’s really not. It’s totally flat. (in case that’s on your list of worries)

No, the scar isn’t really a factor. I’m just a surgery-phobe. Only ever had one and not looking forward to the long recovery period.

I feel you. Not sure I’d do it myself…unless I really couldn’t enjoy my life.
When we went to the pre-op seminar, they encouraged people to picture all the things they’d be able to do when fully healed…from traveling the world to simple stuff like walking down an aisle in the grocery store with no pain.

I guess I’m just worried about finding the right orthopedist. The two I saw previously were not helpful and the guy everyone I ask recommends doesn’t accept our insurance ( military Tricare ).

Insurance is such a pain!! And finding someone you trust is so important!
If Boston area is an option, Dr. Sean Rockett (Newton-Wellesley) is trustworthy.

Thanks… but that’s a long drive to make appointments and check ups. I think I need someone closer to home.

Yeah. Too bad the guy everyone likes isn’t on your insurance ☹️

I like Brussels sprouts. I like pickled things. But pickled sprouts? No, thank you.
That snail/slug meme is a real gem.
While I knew how to boil things, I never made the connection between whether they grow above or below ground. 🤔

Wow River, those are some great legs! But, we all had them when we were young. I remember thinking I had great legs too, then I had kids and my calves became cows and have struggled to find boots to fit these damn cows 🫤. I like Brussels sprouts, but not enough to have them pickled, yuck. I knew about boiling certain veggies in cold water first in my home economics class, been doing it all my life.

Unless I’m blanching I pretty much start everything in cold water… guess I shouldn’t.
As for young legs, yes I miss them being toned and attractive … but I really miss a pain free knee and being able to wear heels without a bunion.
Getting old sucks!

I never gave much thought to knees… until one of mine broke.

This will probably come as no surprise at all, but I have had (and love) pickled Brussel’s sprouts…especially in a Bloody Mary. Never heard ’em referred to by that name though.

You’re right.
This surprises me not at all…
