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.
That didn’t even cross my mind. I never thought you were insulting me. No need for an apology.
That stinks that the year before had the CD. I missed it by a year. Oh well. You know how electronics are. It’s always changing. I guess what I have now will be out of date next year.
The only people that are not left behind are the people that buy the newest tech gauges...so those of us that don't buy a new cell phone once a year or new windows and all the other new technology are left behind, therefore you are not alone. There is a lot of us! Because really who can keep up except the people who have money to blow and those who make a living doing IT!
I am so glad that I didn't offend you because I really do like you.💗😜
You got that right. I don’t have to have the latest technology. Hahaha, that would cost a fortune! Plus, I usually drive a car until it dies.
Four years ago I had just finished throwing things into the car and set off north, checking the nearby gas station on my way, which had a huge line up so I bypassed it. I figured 3/4 of a tank of gas was enough for where ever I was going. Remembering the relief at finally, 8 hours later and in the dark, finding a work camp, a parking spot and joining a line up for registration. The "room" was more of a cubby hole, but had a bed, a tv, a small table and some places to hang clothes. The bathroom was down the hall and very utilitarian. The best part of the accommodation was the cafeteria - large,well equipped and the food was very good. By cell phone contact I knew my those of my family that lived in the area had found accommodation too. Whew - safe for now.
If you had not posted all along how that was going with you, Golden, and how you survived with a good strong attitude, when it came time for my hubs and I to evacuate the smoke and threats from fires, I would not have known what to do, as I had to step up and be the leader. So thanks, for all these years! ☔️🌞🔥⛈🌬🌫🌊🌋⛈😊
Well, tomorrow is another day and, hopefully less filled with memories than this one. I think I will go have a hot bubble bath. 🛀
I might put up a sign outside....Observing social distancing (forever).
There are many many many people who live in apartments with or without young kids with no where to escape the heat. The malls are dead and closed, parks are closed, only beaches to go to. And now they are being called selfish and self-entitled to want to go to the beach?
All those who oppose going back to work are the ones who don't have any financial worries, no jobs to lose. They either on SS, still work or work at home, depend on someone else, have plenty of money, etc.
My aunt is the sole earner in her family as my uncle was injured and could no longer work. She is on unemployment, getting less than $200/week. That's not enough to cover food, utilities, car payment and RENT. Thankfully, she's getting the extra $600/week for the next few months as part of the stimulus program, otherwise, the unemployment alone would not cover their expenses and they wouldn't be able to make rent. She worries she may not have a job to go back to because the owner of the small shop where she works is also struggling financially. They are being called selfish for wanting to go back to work.
You Gershun wern't there to measure, were you?
(Sorry, I know that joke was in bad taste.)
Moving on over to the Caregivers behaving badly thread now.
Yes, that is a very bad taste joke, Send. You should not have posted it.
You want to fight. I don't.
The Covid opinions as if anyone does have the facts goes on and on and on. I might die of hearing about it before any virus will take me out.
It is like beating a dead horse.🤮

2) Less judging others.
3) Acceptance of ourselves and our emotions, or lack of emotions.
4) Get busy in the kitchen, distract ourselves.
5) Take a walk outside.
6) Write it all out, like a journal, but honestly.
7) Take a shower.
8) Focus on something other than ourselves.
9) Build, repair, or accomplish something.
10) Keep wild imaginings to a minimum.
Send, I have no desire to pick fights with anyone here as we are all caregivers, but I will speak up when I read something that is SO WRONG.
I am hoping that is true, because we will be seeing a huge decrease in numbers since we have been over 100° with more of the same on the way.

We can learn from history.
In 1968, I had the Hong Kong flu. It is said that it was brought to California by returning servicemen from Vietnam. My husband at the time had no illness. All the facts were not in, no one had said it was the Hong Kong flu back then.
Mom, I love you so much and miss you dearly.
Gershun
