Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.

I contacted the FDA regarding my 60+ pounds weight gain after taking Lyrica to treat fibromyalgia (which I lost when I stopped taking Lyrica) and when I experienced an adverse reaction to another medication.

There was a 50% chance of rain last night. HAH!
The rain, thunder and lighting started at midnight and it is still raining at 9 AM. We had pea and dime size hail along with the rain from 12:30 AM until 2:30 AM and then just rain. I sure hope the soybeans and corn crops were not damaged too much. (We own farmland in two different counties.)
The thunder was (and still is) a "rolling thunder"--one continuous thunder that never stops, just changes in intensity. The lighting acted like a flicking light bulb in the sky. It was as though the land and sky were one giant room and the lighting was the ceiling light flicking, but never turning off completely. There were none of the jagged lighting bolts that we are used to seeing in photographs. Just continuous lighting of the land and sky.
One rain gauge had 4 1/4 inches in it and another rain gauge had 3 3/4 inches in it. All since midnight. Guess I don't need to water the new sod that I had put in last week. There is going to be lots of flooding the next few days as the storm travels eastward. 😱
Oh, Dr. Welby's associate was James Brolin [who is married to Barbra Streisand in real life]

From the old U.S. census, it was common for a daughter who never married to continue to live with her parents. Same with sons who never married or married late in life. Those grown children who did marry and continued to farm carried on the tradition of 10 to 17 children. Thus, many hands to help take care of the older generation.
I did notice those grown children that decided to move to the big city, their families were much smaller, from no children to maybe 3 or 4 children.
Also, I was surprised how many daughters didn't go to school. The sons would go to school but ended at 6th grade.
Grown daughters that did go to school and went on to teaching colleges [2 years], they got jobs as teachers. But once they married, they had to quit their job.
One family had children that were college grads. One brother and sister had masters in chemistry. The brother climbed the corporate ladder, and the sister [equally educated] couldn't do that as that wasn't the norm back then. She was able to be school teacher. She never did marry, lived to be 103, and that was back in the early 1900's.
Today is the 5 yr anniversary of my dad's death and tomorrow would have been his 78th birthday.
I still feel like that little girl who misses her daddy! I wonder if I will ever get use to the fact that he is gone! I just can't wait to see him again...
I pray that he is looking down at me and smiling with pride.
I just really miss him!😢
But thank you for your concern and taking time out to pm me!
But how blessed we are that we have had those Dad's that we love and miss so much.
I just wanted to send you a big ol hug. And tell you that you are not alone and I know what you feel.
May God give you strength and comfort, for seasons in life sometimes overwhelm us in dark moments.
We will miss them everyday. But God and time make that heartbreak more bearable.
(HUGS)
You are right, we are very blessed to have had dads that loved us so much that we miss them so much.
Right before my dad passed he gave me one of his rings that belong to his dad (my grandfather) and I wear it around my neck and it does make me feel like he is still with me; if that makes any sense!
Thank you for your sweet words, prayers, and hugs.
who'd know there is a h o l i d a y? The fireworks are now just an irritation.
Aren't celebrations getting tacky these days... Gershun, are you sure this isn't in the same category as police officers and doctors being far too young?
Always wanted to use that word in a sentence. Obtuse, that is.
I'm getting old so the celebrations seem tacky. And the docs and cops are too young and I've fallen and I can't get up. LOL
Acorn stair lift in my future and everything.
Yes, I'm becoming an old fossil.
Next thing I'll be shaking my fist and saying things like "you young whippersnappers"
Gotcha cm!
It cheers me up no end to be reminded that nothing is *really* getting worse. It's just us!
It is 5 a.m. here now, so I am going back to sleep-the old person's phrase for
I should crash, lol Gershun.
I had something on my mind before coming here, but it also flew out the window.
That is a good thing.
I allow myself to stand and gaze at the confectionery aisle. Then I say "you will eat all of them and you will be sick and your teeth will hurt. Step away."
Sigh. I think if you're the sort of person who can eat half a Mars Bar or save some chips for later you can't really like them.
A new HMO for health insurance means I will be seeing all new doctors.
After eating two chocolate cake donuts the night before, I did eat only 1/2 of the apple fritter for breakfast. It was good, just not my favorite. So you are right.
But once a year, I could eat a whole bag of fritos chili flavor---back when I was younger, that is. Just last year!
"Gurus"!!! That is what I call "them" too! Lots to not say on that topic, after having to unfriend their political views on fb. Some guru advice is good, it is just that even they can't follow it, imo.
But fb I hate it!
I tried to quit, but would miss seeing my family on there.
