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.
Extremely luckily weeks later, all is OK. Healed.
I wish us luck with all our challenges here on the forum.
Ah well, it's an '09 corolla and except for new tires it has only needed routine repairs until now, I guess my luck was bound to start to run out ...
You there lady? You okay?
Apparently at least one long-time poster told newer folks that Becky had multiple accounts and was responsible for some pretty vile posts.
Another reminder, I think, as to why when we read an outlandish post not to respond or feed the trolls.
Hoping Becky comes back.
Yes, Ali, come back.
Things will get better!
Interesting.
There exist communities of retirees from the U.S., who are called ex-pats, or ex-patriots.
I have decided to start dressing like I live there anyway as soon as the sun comes out this year (if it ever does..). Picked up a bright yellow & aqua resort dress in the local thrift shop 🌴🌞 😆
I think that I and my dH are pedantic.
Definition and correct spelling:
Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.
I am usually trying to make a joke about something. But not the spelling of the word pendantic. 😜
This could be important information.
I took my very low mileage Toyota 2005 into the dealership.
They found $3,000 worth of repairs needed.
Since then, disheartened, I have not even gone to the beach, mostly driving nearby up to 10 miles. Could not afford that much.
I have not found a mechanic who confirms that the brakes need bleeding.
Other mechanics ask a few questions, and say there is no need to do that, or another repair, The car passed smog.
So, maybe get a second opinion not from a dealer.
Keep that car on the road! Toyotas are good for 200,000 miles plus!
Well, it is not very patriotic to go live in another country other than your own.
I wish us all a great weekend!
I’m quoting you:
“Well, it is not very patriotic to go live in another country other than your own.”
It’s one Earth.
It just happens to be cut up in the random borders we have.
Hundreds of years from now, the borders will look different yet again.
And all that time, since the start, it was and is, one Earth.
One Earth with splendid landscapes, here and there, in various “countries”.
