Alpha Male gives thanks to those who sent prayers and healing thoughts. He's alert right now, in pain, but alert and ATTEMPTING to bend his knee with weights. The doctor said he dug out a ""hella junk scar tissue." I wonder what scar tissue looks like? (shudder)
I'll update more as soon as I can tell that the morphine is really out of his system. You know how it is...it feels "okay" now and he thinks he isn't in as much pain as everyone kept telling him he'd be; he thinks he must tougher than those other poor suffering devils. Then, WHOMP! The morphine dissipates and we get the real rawness coming through. (shudder)
But thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. It's working. I haven't had the need to say "poor lil' bunny" yet.
*******************
Here's a good Saturday distraction:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
I won't tag but would love y'all to post here (and pass on to friends, if you want). Let me start:
My nearest book is Kushiel's Scion by Jacqueline Carey.
Pg. 123, fifth, sixth and seventh sentences are:
She taught us what Delauney had taught her--the art of covertcy. One day, when Charles and Catherine and I were all in attendance, she blindfolded all of us and bid us to wander the manor's estate for an hour's time. We were to report back on all we had observed while deprived on sight, including each other's doings.
Your turn! What's your nearest book, go get it!
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

Happy recovery to Alpha Male.
Now, I read 3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences. to mean the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences. So, assuming you wanted me to discount both dictionary and thesaurus :), here they are:
..."Should take a hit all right, but now I can't get the damn gun to work."
"Zakalwe," the drone sighed. "It would hardly be surprising if it isn't working...."
From Use of Weapons by Iain M Banks
Keeping fngers crossed for you and Alpha Male!
My book says:
"Ah." He bobbed his head. "I will remember that."
"Your unfortunate colors can be debated later, Lord Nottingham."
From Evermore by Lynn Viehl
Wouldn't want him thinking he more macho than the rest, and then BAM... hope he stays mostly out of major pain.
My book says:
"We met three weeks ago on a Caribbean cruise, fell into a heated affair and have been inseparable since."
"That's pretty much true." Except he'd left out the breaking-up-in-London part.

I love Evie. :D
I'm glad Alpha Male is on the mend! I'll send more healing thoughts to take effect as the morphine wears off.
The closest book on my desk is Tami Hoag's Night Sins My pages read:
"What set you off?"
"He gave me the creeps," she said sheepishly, scowling at her banana as she peeled back the skin. She took a bite and chewed, regrouping mentally.
Set aside 3/4 cup of the marinade for the sauce. Trim any fat off the tenderloin in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag and add the remaining marinade. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
That is a grilled pork tenderloin recipe from the book "Food to live By"
However if you count each line in the ingredient list as a sentence then it would be:
3 tbs whole fennel seeds
2 sticks cinnamon, broken into small pieces
1 tsp whole black peppercorn.
My book says
'You won't mistake his house' he said, 'it is hard by the church facing the quay. You can see it from the quayside from here. There's a light upon it now.
Frenchman's Creek Daphne Du maurier
Sending more healing wishes to Easy Rider.
My nearest book (about a foot away from my PC) is your Into Danger. I forgot to put it back after rearranging my bookshelf.
Three sentences from the 5th one in Pg 123:
1) hot and cold where he touched. She caught her lower lip to 2)stop a moan. There was still time. She could still back away. 3)if she chose to. She didn't.
More healing vibes for the Alpha Male.
From among the several books within arm's reach:
"... Try again."
"Unless it affects me, there are some things I'm content not to know. You should do the same more often."
From Magic Lost, Trouble Found by Lisa Shearin
So this is what we have in our story:
She taught us what Delauney had taught her--the art of covertcy. One day, when Charles and Catherine and I were all in attendance, she blindfolded all of us and bid us to wander the manor's estate for an hour's time. We were to report back on all we had observed while deprived on sight, including each other's doings.
"Should take a hit all right, but now I can't get the damn gun to work."
"Zakalwe," the drone sighed. "It would hardly be surprising if it isn't working...."
"Ah." He bobbed his head. "I will remember that."
"Your unfortunate colors can be debated later, Lord Nottingham."
"We met three weeks ago on a Caribbean cruise, fell into a heated affair and have been inseparable since."
"That's pretty much true." Except he'd left out the breaking-up-in-London part.
"What set you off?"
"He gave me the creeps," she said sheepishly, scowling at her banana as she peeled back the skin. She took a bite and chewed, regrouping mentally. 3 tbs whole fennel seeds. 2 sticks cinnamon, broken into small pieces. 1 tsp whole black peppercorn.
'You won't mistake his house' he said, 'it is hard by the church facing the quay. You can see it from the quayside from here. There's a light upon it now."
She felt hot and cold where he touched her. She caught her lower lip to stop a moan. There was still time. She could still back away. if she chose to. She didn't.
There you go! We have something here!
