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’ll be ruminating on it until I see the dentist on Monday
It's raining outside just now. The SNOW is over the I-5 grapevine pass @ over 4000 ft., said to be snowing down to 3000 ft.
Guessing it is winter now.
Hahaha. We can barely call it snow here. We get a few flurries. Everything closes down because people here don’t know how to drive in snow!
The snow is on the news.
Cannot take pictures because the snow is hours away, not here in my yard.
Cannot drive there because the roads are closed.
Many years ago, I did take a photo of a tiny snowman I built in my yard, and that was fun because it was so rare. But, like you, there was very little snow, lasting only an hour or two.
We always want or like what we do not have. However, I am still content to have the beaches nearby, within an hour's drive. A day trip can take us from Malibu to Huntington Beach and back, or even to Santa Barbara and back, just beautiful beaches, waves, skies, and a ferris wheel.
What a treat! Fun to at least see the snow nearby on the news.
I adore California. You truly live in one of the most beautiful states in our country. California is lovely. I always enjoyed visiting there.
One of my most precious memories with my dad was building a small snowman in our yard as a kid. We had so much fun!
I am certainly overwhelmed by all the support and well wishes I've received both here and in real life.
I was forced to accept that I can't do it all alone and agree to allow people to help.
I for sure have a new empathy for people facing cancer and even surgery of any kind - it's not so routine as we pretend it is.
And blessed for a neighbor that cleared off my driveway, with his mini tractor, while I was away and upon return could get into the garage.

I am just putting them in the TRASH where they belong!
LOL.
Is it just me or has this been a real witch of a year? Some blessings, of course, but, lots of heartache too. My dad took a downward turn and just returned home from rehab, I lost one of my best friends in the spring at age 59 and today, I just got a call from another good friend who's in surgical ICU. He's spinal cord surgery bound in a couple of days. He's almost 81 years old and I'm feeling pretty nervous. It makes me wonder what is going on?
Going to bed now.
tucked the Viking in tonight and asked her what she wanted for Xmas - she said she didn't care about anything -
I guess not 😥
Sorry the Viking is sad. Maybe those special bears you buy for people will cheer her up. I am so glad she has you. She wouldn't be fed otherwise.
I sure hope things get better at that place. 💞💞💞💞💞
The best dentist I ever saw, twenty years ago, recommended a piece of 7-grain bread to help me get to sleep, and stay asleep longer.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz💞zzzzzzzzz.
I think that I should keep one ear open, to see if I snore.
Why do we get so upset when original posters don't return? Some people even label them trolls! I find most of what I read here to be helpful, even if/when it's a bit harsh; regardless of whether the original poster comes back to re-engage.
Maybe it's because I am of the Dear Abby generation. I loved reading her column and we never got to hear back from the OP in that instance.
I guess I just think pointing it out doesn't invalidate what's been provided, nor does it mean the user is a troll!
Duly noted. Yes. we read Abby and Ann Landers. Also Heloise. Remember her? She had great tips for everyone.
IMO AgingCare needs to be a little bit quicker at closing inactive threads or those the OP has abandoned while still enabling the OP to post an update (long conversational threads excepted) - I have seen this on other forums so it isn't impossible.
That’s true too. Some posts aren’t current and they continue to have replies.
I know I can’t be the only one who has noticed but there seem to be a few people who get bored (I assume) and start reading old posts and responding to them! I’ve seen a few people reply multiple to posts that had been stagnant for months....I assume they were bored or something! I dislike it because it pushes new posts further down the newsfeed or on to the next page & makes it harder for them to be seen.
Any advice?
