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 wonder why someone would send someone they know, a gift that person would not use nor enjoy.
For example gardening gloves for someone who does not garden. Or jewelry to one who wears absolutely no jewelry.
So frustrating to me the thoughtlessness of my siblings.
Que the clowns. = Send in the clowns.
Who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and pray.....
Praying that the Lord will turn the storm away, decrease it's power, save and heal our land.
8 p.m. Sunday.
I also remember getting gifts items used around the kitchen, even though I hate to cook. Sorry, but a blender isn't going to spark my interest in culinary doings :P
A friend of dds, who dropped by a week or so ago, while they were out having a coffee said to my daughter, "How nice your mum dresses up and has a boyfriend."
Gack!!!
Bleah!!!
I always dress nicely and have had a man around for much of my life,
She comes from a background of alcoholic parents who died in their 60's and has worked in a senior's home, so I guess, in part, that explains it.
I told my dd to tell her that my mother was still doing volunteer work in Haiti aged 85 She can also add that my sister in her 80's, recently remarried and they have traveled extensively this past year.
This is the lady who grabbed my arm as I was walking downtown on the way to lunch with her and dd last winter. I thought she was afraid of falling on the ice. She assumed I needed the help because I was 80, I didn't. SMH!
Even fake rabbits multiply.
Just because I decided to collect them as a child.
Why didn't I say I collect diamonds or rubies or pearls or.....
And today there are drive through funeral homes where the deceased in casket is available for viewing.
The next day,one of my brother's called me at home and told me to bring Mother some shoes.That he had looked in the casket and saw she only had on socks.
That was so disrespectful.Who opens a casket and you don't need shoes in Heaven.
Luckylu I’m with you—who needs shoes in heaven? My MIL was not buried in shoes. You just reminded me though, when my grandmother died I tried to open her casket after the funeral! I was only 6 though and I just wanted to see her again. I don’t know that she was even in the casket, she was cremated but I don’t know if it was before or after the funeral. My uncle saw and quickly stopped me. I’m horrified now—not only because of my blatant disrespect but if my grandmother was in that casket and I opened it, my family would have been so upset!
My mother gave out her Medicare number to a cold caller scam artist this week. Come to find out, she can't see well so she read him the wrong number.
In other words, she inadvertently scammed the scammer!
Serves him right.
I told her not to pick up the phone for numbers she doesn't know. And if she inadvertently does, to start talking about her bowels... lol That should get him off the phone real quick!

" remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
I asked her to check BP and respirations - both were lower than usual
feeling guilty for not going to see her after work but it was late and she was sleeping
Hope it's a blip and she's feeling better very soon. What will Hoca do to keep an eye on her, did they say?
