Default Simon is good people!

A little more than a week ago, I had another operation to fix issues with my lower back. I made the mistake of mentioning this once or twice here and received all sorts of kind words & well wishes.

Today I hobble out to the mailbox and find an envelope bearing an Australian post mark. Fearing malfeasance, I hold the envelope up to a strong light, shake it, carefully smell it, and then swept a black light over it. Nothing appeared amiss, so I opened the envelope and found a nice note from our very own 'Full Boost'. In addition to his wishes for my speedy recovery, Simon included three decals from the local Porsche Club. Very Cool!

Thank you, Sir.

Andreas-don't forget to keep the incision site clean! Glad all is going well. Continued success in your recovery.

Remember to XENITize your wound 3 times a day to prevent any infection.

Get well soon, dust mites are breeding in your garage as we speak.

Are you kidding? He Xenitized the Operating room first because it was too dirty!!

Glad to hear you're out of the hospital - best wishes for a speedy recovery (although I have no doubt of it - no germs are brave enough to come near you )

Very thoughtful Simon....!

You broke Rule #3 of Avoiding Getting Blowed Up By A Letter Bomb, Kaczynski.

Noted for future reference.

Thank you. I'm able to walk very well and am trying to heed the bending/lifting advice. A very active 3-year-old girl makes that a bit challenging.

My first thought in response to your post was, "Xenit", but then I saw the below....

See above.

Dust mites? No chance.

Ryan,

Fosters is the Aussie joke on the world......

Seriously - it is a drink that breaks down all social and economic boundries... and helps you vomit it them all up again - with some carrots thrown in for good measure!!!!

As for the women - well I am a married man and dont look anymore.
