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.
Sorry that your roads are so bad. Does your county have an app where you can report potholes to be repaired? We do, among other things such as debris/dumped trash violation.
Smoke has moved into my region and is supposed to hang around for the next few days (we had worst air in Ontario yesterday, yay). I'm almost out of clean clothes but have been waiting for all the rain to pass so I can hang my laundry out on the line, now I'm not sure what to do.
Yes, we can report bad roads, some roads have been repaired but we have always had bad roads.
I looked up non tipping vases online. That’s the way to go. I thank you for this information.
Several people have died in the riptides. So sad. I went to this beach every summer with my family growing up. My father grew up in this area.
We love going to the gulf coast and have gone many times. The riptides are dangerous and can be deadly. My dad always checked the safety status of the beach before he allowed us to swim in the gulf.
The jellyfish can be bad also. When the purple flag is flying it signifies that there are lots of jellyfish present in the water. The green, yellow and red flags are for the riptides.
Glad it’s nice there today. 😊
Need - very sad about the man that drowned.
Seven drownings in 9 days.
Yes, Panama City Beach. We went there every summer growing up. My dad grew up in that area.
Riptides are dangerous. When the double red flags are blowing, people need to stay out of the Gulf of Mexico.
I had a friend who was a world traveler. He came to Louisiana from France with barely any money.
He ended up being a chef in local restaurants. He had big dreams.
Oh, how I miss him. That French accent! His beautiful adventurous spirit always made me smile.
Anyway, eventually he invested in two businesses. Both were successful and he loved traveling all over the world.
He died white water rafting in Ecuador. When the boat turned over he immediately rushed to save his son. He was able to save his son but lost his life in the process.
That is good that you can report bad roads/pot holes. I presently have a bunch of things reported using see click fix 311.
Oh, I misunderstood what you meant.
Well, I learned about vases that are difficult to tip over. It was interesting. The article that I read showed how museums display their valuables so they are stable.
What a thoughtful and smart florist! I love when businesses serve their customers well.
I’ll look for it.
Its a documentary on Netflix. Quite interesting
Of special interest is that the ketamine treatment is so very dangerous, done only in Mexico, can in fact be deadly, and that the girl has recovered to the place she is today WITHOUT IT.
I honestly don't know what to say about all this. I worked with people from Poland and from Russia. They are very adamant and forthcoming in their manner of speech and westerners unfamiliar with them can easily become offended with their "style" at times. I also think the Mom despite her training wasn't cognizant of just what can happen here. Thought she was in a more "free" country than she was.
A tragedy. And as the newspaper woman said, these cases are often not black and white.
Certain the doctor that said the child should be taken from the mom, and the nurse who watched over her came across as EXCEPTIONALLY unpleasant women.
It is disturbing that this seems now still to be so obsessively eating up the lives of these sweet kids.
VERY INTERESTING Catskie, I agree.
I find that I need to be fully awake after sleeping, before I speak to anyone.
If someone talks to me and I am not completely awake, I won’t remember a thing. Especially, if I fall back asleep before getting up.
My husband tells me about conversations that he had with me when I wasn’t fully awake that I have absolutely no recollection of.
He now writes notes and places them on the kitchen counter if it is something important.
I think the scariest thing that I can remember about sleep is that many years ago I experienced sleep paralysis. That’s extremely weird!
Occasionally, I walk in my sleep. Only once that I can recall. I woke myself up and that is very confusing. I didn’t understand what was happening. The tip of my finger touched the blade of a fan and the thump woke me up. I was a young girl. My mom put extra locks on the doors so I wouldn’t walk outside. LOL 😆
Years ago, we lived in a townhouse, the bedroom was upstairs and I was continually sleep walking. My husband was terrified that I would tumble down the stairs. Of course, I never remember any of it happening because I am sleeping.
As an offside - I slept walk as a child, down a flight of stairs and shut off a tv.
Need~ Omg sleep paralysis is a creepy feeling! Mine is under control w/medication thank God. Hope everyone is doing ok
